The Dobbs Voter. Will she make all the difference in November?After the Dobbs decision overturning Roe V Wade there’s been a surge in new voter registration among women.

Isn’t it Time for Male Birth Control?

Vasectomies are on the rise, ever since the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe versus Wade. Because plenty of men are also interested in avoiding unwanted pregnancies. So would they be willing to do what women do and take birth control? Some male birth control products are showing promising signs in clinical trials.So how far are we from bringing male birth control to market? Would men be willing to take it? And what’s the hold up – why doesn’t this exist already? The group of experts we gathered tell us men are ready for contraception. We’re waiting on the system to catch up to our needs. To discuss it all I’m joined by Dr. Stephanie Page Professor of Medicine and Board Certified Endocrinologist at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She is helping to conduct a trial for a hormonal contraceptive gel for men. Heather Vahdat is Executive director of the Male Contraceptive Initiative, a nonprofit that funds research into non-hormonal, reversible male birth control.

Finland’s female prime minister scandalized critics by getting caught on video, wait for it, dancing with friends. One of Canada’s most esteemed anchors was fired, after an executive expressed disappointment in her decision to stop coloring her grey hair. But Gen Z isn’t having it. Instead of conforming to project the perfect life, they’re going the other way: bragging to their online audiences about their failures, oddities and dramas. Today we’re talking about public image. How expectations for women have and haven’t changed. How younger generations are going their own way.Joining us: Amanda de Cadenet, founder of Girlgaze and Executive Producer and Host of The Conversation - a groundbreaking, multi-platform interview series.

Rescuing Our Schools

School boards have become political battlegrounds. Culture wars are centering on the classroom and teachers – underpaid and often feeling unsafe and unheard – are increasingly exiting the profession. None of this is improving the reality for students who are struggling with unprecedented learning loss and mental health challenges as a result of the pandemic. In this podcast we talk with a group of people who are working on solutions. Emma Bloomberg, the founder and CEO of Murmuration, is working to get more people involved in school board level. John Della Volpe, Director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics, focuses on how Gen Z can play a role. Adonica Duggan, CEO of Baton Rouge Alliance for Students, is working on student focused reforms. And Romy Drucker of the K-12 Education Program at the Walton Family Foundation looks at innovative practices that can make work more sustainable for teachers, and close learning gaps for students. We learn about their work, ask their take on the politics of distraction around schooling, and take your questions.

What We Do and Don’t Know About Depression

In this episode we dive into the roots of depression, how antidepressants work, and additional treatments that are proven effective at improving wellbeing and mood. The News Not Noise audience reacted with intense emotion when we reported on a recent umbrella study concluding that decades of research shows that a lack of serotonin is not the root driver of depression overall. So we decided to ask experts about the latest research on depression and interventions including antidepressants, psychedelics, plant based medicine, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma therapy and more. With no singular approach to treatment in mind, I speak to Dr. Philip Cowen, a Professor of Psycho-Pharmacology at the University of Oxford, and Dr. Samantha Boardman a Psychiatrist and an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College, to hear their own learnings about depression and mental health treatment. I am also joined by writer, model, and actress Paulina Porizkova who shares her personal experiences with mental health and wellbeing.The big takeaway: one size does not fit all. This episode contains content about depression, anxiety, and mental health, which some listeners might find upsetting.

A year and a half after rioters stormed the Capitol, the Jan. 6th Committee’s public hearings are revealing why that mob headed to the Capitol and what role Trump and his team played.
