It’s now been more than two weeks since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, killing more than 1,300 people and taking more than 200 hostage. Israel has responded with airstrikes in Gaza that have left thousands dead.

The images are gruesome. The testimony from survivors and victims’ families is heartbreaking. It’s all so hard to process— even for adults a thousand miles away. So how should parents talk to KIDS about what’s happening in the Middle East? Especially in the era of social media.

In this special edition, we’re joined by cognitive psychotherapist Niro Feliciano, the best selling author of “This Book Won’t Make You Happy- 8 Keys to Finding True Contentment.” Niro is also a mother of four.

Cure For Brain Cancer? Submersible Ocean Exploration After the Titanic Disaster - Mo News Interview Sep 29, 2023

Show notes

We dive deep into the world of submersible exploration in this episode, and discuss what we can learn from traveling to the deepest parts of our oceans. We know more about outer space than our own oceans here on earth. The co-founder of Triton Submarines, Patrick Lahey, is hoping to help change that, and he explains why deep sea travel is so important in this conversation.

We all watched in horror this summer as one submersible ignored safety warnings and imploded near the Titanic in June. We discuss what was uniquely risky about that trip and contraption, and the lessons for the industry and governments from that disaster.

Lahey makes the pitch in this conversation for why deep ocean travel is not only safe but necessary for humans, including some of the things we are discovering about our planet, health and medicine through this type of exploration.

The Untold Story of America’s First Women Astronauts - Mo News Interview Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

It is a riveting history: How America chose the first six women to go into space and how the first female astronauts overcame adversity and sexism. We talk about all of it in our conversation with space journalist Loren Grush.

Her new book, “The Six: The Untold Story of America’s First Women Astronauts” reads like a movie screenplay, and provides some fascinating historical perspective into the first six American women in space.

As of 1973, the US had sent three females into space: Two spiders and a monkey. We discuss how NASA went about realizing it was time to bring women into space and what challenges the women faced when they got there. Tune in for the history and the ridiculous story involving NASA engineers and tampons.

How Conspiracy Theories and Secret Society Fears Have Shaped American History - Mo News Interview Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

From the Salem Witch Trials to Qanon, it turns out that conspiracy theories are “as American as apple pie.” We dive into why we believe them, and how they have impacted American history and democracy in a conversation with author and cultural historian Colin Dickey.

His latest book, “Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shape American Democracy,” provides some fascinating historical perspective into how fears of immigrants, other religions, and secret societies have impacted the country’s history over the last few centuries.

Mark Twain once said that “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes,” and we learn that from this unique look at the American story.

“Americans Want Chaos:” What The U.S. Gets Wrong In The Middle East Aug 30, 2023

Show notes

After 20 years of war and revolution across the Middle East and North Africa–from Libya to Afghanistan--we take a look at what US foreign policy gets wrong, where China is trying to fill the gaps, and the future of the region, in this conversation with author and journalist Robert Kaplan.

His latest book, “The Loom of Time,” provides some incredible historical perspective on US foreign policy and takes us on a tour of the region from Saudi Arabia to Israel to Syria to Egypt. This episode is effectively an hour-long masters degree in Middle East affairs.

While the US might try, the region continues to require constant attention from Washington DC. Why is that? Kaplan provides perspective on how we got here over the last 100 years, about his conversations with senior leaders across the region and what might happen next.

Inside The White House: Interview with the President’s Climate Adviser Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

As we experience the hottest summer in recorded history, we have a conversation with White House National Climate Adviser, Ali Zaidi, about what the administration is doing to combat climate change. Despite all the recent negative headlines, Zaidi explains to Mosheh why he remains an optimist and the progress that has been made globally in recent years.

He also discusses the White House strategy regarding clean energy, why electric cars are cleaner than gas-powered vehicles, whether climate change has a “branding problem,” and the latest tax breaks and incentives for Americans adopting clean energy alternatives.

This conversation comes as the White House gets set to mark the one year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes billions of dollars in climate initiatives as the administration tries to hit ambitious CO2 reduction targets.

Breaking News Edition: Supreme Court Overturns Affirmative Action - Interview with Sharon McMahon Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down affirmative action in college admissions, declaring race cannot be a factor after nearly 50 years. The decision forces colleges and universities to look for new ways to achieve diverse student bodies without considering race.

We break down the decision with Supreme Court watcher and Mo News Podcast friend Sharon McMahon of SharonSaysSo. We discuss the arguments by the various justices (including the very personal language in the opinions), the exceptions to the ruling and what it means for colleges, employers, the military and the nation. The conversation was part of a breaking news Instagram Live on @mosheh on Thursday afternoon following the decision.

We also discuss the upcoming major student loan case, and other Supreme Court headlines including calls for them to adopt a code of ethics.
