Lost Debate - What Americans Really Think with Todd Rose
Ravi sits down with Populace CEO Todd Rose to discuss two data sets we’ve been covering on the Lost Debate: the gap between Americans’ private and public beliefs, and what the American public wants out of the education system. Through those two lenses, we try and assess how divided the country actually is versus how divided it so often seems.

Lost Debate - The Regressives Ep. 12 | How We Solve Housing and Homelessness
America faces two inextricable problems: a growing homelessness crisis, and a dire lack of affordable housing. As the gravity of those issues grows more visible, lawmakers are under increasing pressure to solve them. We sat down with The New York Times' Binyamin Appelbaum to talk about how the state of California -- so often the poster child for how not to handle homelessness -- is making gradual progress, taking a critical yet hopeful look at what the rest of the country can learn from their example. We discuss the unique position land occupies in our society, the persistent phenomenon of NIMBYism, and why the first step to fighting homelessness is both hugely complicated and squarely simple: build more housing.

Lost Debate - Ep 114 | State of the Union, MrBeast, Organic Food
Ravi and Rikki lead things off with their reactions to President Biden’s State of the Union address and what it says about the state of political polarization today. Then we turn to YouTube extraordinaire MrBeast, why he’s courting controversy over cataract surgeries, and the merits of effective altruism. Finally, we head to the grocery aisle and ask a question that’s surprisingly hard to answer: is that organic food you’re buying actually organic?

Lost Debate - The Hardest Step – Ep 1 | Newfound Hope with Topeka K. Sam
Introducing "The Hardest Step," which is taking over the Lost Debate feed for a special episode!
Topeka K. Sam is a shining example of the power of redemption. While in federal prison for drug trafficking, Topeka witnessed firsthand the many challenges and injustices that women, particularly women of color, face behind bars.
After her release in May 2015, she launched The Ladies of Hope Ministries. The organization works to advocate for women in or recently out of prison. The ministry helps women transition back into society by providing them with safe housing, education, spiritual empowerment, and entrepreneurial skills.
Chris and Coss sit down with Topeka to discuss the highs and lows of her journey and how she stays hopeful in the face of adversity.
To learn more about The Ladies of Hope Ministries, visit thelohm.org.
Preview for next week: Chris and Coss interview voting rights activist Desmond Meade, whose organization is credited with the passage of Amendment 4, a grassroots initiative that restored voting rights to over 1.4 million Floridians with prior felony convictions.
