James B. Meigs joins the podcast today to talk about the submersible that seems to have disappeared on its way to the bottom of the ocean on a Titanic viewing expedition. Why are we so obsessed with this story, and what does it say about our view of exploration as a whole? And what do the horrific learning-loss statistics tell us about where America is going when our kids are learning nothing? Give a listen.

This episode, we look at an iconic friendship — and an epic road trip. In 2006, Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King drove from California to New York together. Of course, they turned it into an episode for the Oprah Winfrey Show. We look at their friendship, what it says about the bond between Black women, and of course what went down on the very long drive.
Our guest for this episode is Brittany Luse, host of NPR’s It’s Been A Minute.

In 1941, after the German invasion of the Soviet Union, a 24-year-old woman in Ukraine volunteered to join the Red Army.
She was initially pressured to become a nurse like most women who volunteered. However, that wasn’t what she wanted to do. She wanted to be on the front lines.
Within a year, she was to become one of the most lethal soldiers in all of the second world war.

Greg Marshall grew up with parents battling health issues: cancer and ALS. Marshall had his own health scares – he struggled with his leg and mobility his whole life, which his mom and dad said was a result of tight tendons. As an adult, he found out he'd actually been diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth. His memoir, Leg:The Story of a Limb and the Boy Who Grew from It, is an intimate, funny and honest look at Marshall's journey with his body and sexuality. He tells NPR's Scott Simon why he wanted to open up about living with a disability and why he wanted his leg to be the star of the show.
