Special Edition: Expecting Better - Emily Oster on Baby Formula Shortage Jun 11, 2022

Show notes

The ongoing story baby formula shortage in the U.S. has left many parents scrambling to find enough to feed their children. The shortage started after a critical manufacturing plant shut down and some products were recalled. That Abbott nutrition plant in Michigan reopened last week but the company warns it could still take nearly two more months before much of the formula is back on store shelves.

To help explain how any of this could happen, what parents should do, and what the data shows for the decades-old debate about breastfeeding versus formula, we spoke with economist, New York Times bestselling author, and mother Emily Oster.

Time magazine recently named her one of its "100 most influential people" of the year, citing her data-driven and popular advice about parenting and pregnancy in her books "Expecting Better" "Cribsheet" and "The Family Firm." And now, she's sharing the latest data-driven information with us, too.

Special Edition: Verdict, Virality & Violence in Depp vs. Heard (w/ Emily D. Baker) Jun 04, 2022

Show notes

At times, it's felt like the whole world tuned in to see the drama unfold between divorced actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. The defamation trial dominated the conversation on social media for the last month and a half and sharply divided viewers who took sides.

The jury ultimately ruled in Depp's favor and decided Heard lied about Depp abusing her. Supporters say Depp should be applauded for defending his reputation. Critics have expressed concern that this verdict could make domestic violence victims afraid to speak up against alleged abusers.

To help provide an analysis of it all, I spoke with a legal expert: former L.A. county prosecutor and Youtube star Emily D. Baker. Her live-streamed coverage of the trial attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers. She's weighing in on how the jury reached its decision, how celebrity factored into this trial, and her take on the lasting impact.
