    Alyssa and Ben's News Roundup

    Most weeks, we bring a guest onto speak in depth on a single issue. But every once in a while, there’s so much going on that Alyssa and Ben take an episode to check in on...all of this nonsense. That’s what we’re doing this week. And we even start with some good news: It’s baseball season.

    Gianna Toboni- The Volunteer

    The United States executes more people than nearly any other country. In fact, in 2023, the only countries with more reported executions were Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Iraq. Inside the United States, courts are trying to navigate the legality of execution and methods of execution, and the various states have different rules and customs of this barbaric practice. Gianna Toboni has faced some of the world’s most dangerous people: ISIS fighters, cartel hitmen, and sex traffickers. In her new book --- THE VOLUNTEER: The Failure of the Death Penalty in America and One Inmate’s Quest to Die with Dignity -- Gianna dives into her most intense year yet—covering the life of a death row inmate, all while uncovering the shocking, dirty truths about our criminal justice system. And it should be noted that this episode contains frank discussions of both capital punishment and suicidality.

    Writing as a Force for Good - Reporting from AWP25

    In late March, thousands of writers, publishers, students, and writing educators gathered in Los Angeles for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs annual conference. Since our own Ben Jackson is a writer and professor of composition, we thought it would be a great opportunity to hear how writing is changing the world for the better in a time when we desperately need to change the world for the better.

    Todd Wolfson of the American Association of University Professors

    In the two months since the Trump regime took power, it has worked feverishly to dismantle the higher educational apparatus in the United States. Grant money funding research in the billions of dollars has been stopped or held to use as leverage against researchers and institutions. At the same time, Trump and his cronies are working to suppress free speech on campuses, deporting faculty and graduate students who do not share the administration’s views on the Israel-Gaza conflict. The effects of these actions are terrifying. To discuss, we’ve invited Todd Wolfson, President of the American Association of University Professors and an Associate Professor of Journalism and Media Studies at Rutgers University.

    Jesse Baum on the 1-800-MEDICARE workers fighting to unionize

    Right now, our government is making dramatic slashes to the federal workforce. Tens of thousands have already lost their jobs, and healthcare benefits are definitely on the chopping block. At the same time, the Trump regime is perhaps the most anti-union administration in our history, working to lessen the power of workers. In her recent article for Capital and Main, Jesse Baum tells the story of The Southern Women Handling 1-800-MEDICARE Calls and their demands for a Union. She’s with us to discuss.

    Sarah Jones, Author of "Disposable: America's Contempt for the Underclass"

    Donald Trump won a second term in part because of a disingenuous populist message that was intended to harness the anger of poor Americans at a system that does not serve them. Their anger is righteous–and while Trump is certainly not doing anything that will change this, his presidency is at least in part a symptom of our national contempt for the poor. Sarah Jones’ new book “Disposable: America’s Contempt for the Underclass” digs into this problem, and we’ve invited her here to discuss it further.

    Kris Brown of Brady on the State of Gun Violence in the New America

    Back in 2018, Ben and I started NoRA as we watched the Parkland school shooting unfold. In the work to reduce gun violence and the deadly influence of the gun lobby on our nation we discovered so many amazing people doing so much important work in this field. Kris Brown, president of Brady, is one of those people, and we’re happy to have her here with us today.

    Make Good Trouble with Jamia Wilsom

    We’ve been talking a lot this year about effective resistance and the need for each of us to do something. That’s all well and good, but it can be hard to figure out exactly how to start. Jamia Wilson’s new book Make Good Trouble: Discover Movements that Sparked Change can help! Jamia is an award-winning feminist activist, writer, speaker, and podcaster and author of Young Gifted and Black, Step Into Your Power, Big Ideas for Young Thinkers, and more.
