Special Edition: Convict or Acquit? Ex-Cop on Trial for George Floyd's Death Mar 27, 2021

Show notes

Today we're talking about what to expect in the high-profile and racially-charged murder trial of Derek Chauvin. The trial begins Monday.

Chauvin is a former Minneapolis police officer accused of killing George Floyd on May 25, 2020.

A witness video, now seen around the world, appears to show Chauvin using his knee to pin Floyd down on the ground for several minutes. The case sparked nationwide protests and unrest.

Now, the world will be watching as a jury hears the case and decides whether Chauvin will be convicted and put in prison or acquitted and allowed to go free.

Today you'll hear from two guest experts about jury selection, key legal considerations, and the role both video and race may play during this process.

Special Edition: Historic Space Launch with Hayley Arceneaux & Jared Isaacman Mar 20, 2021

Show notes

Today we're talking with two of the four people who will be making history later this year as part of the world's first all-civilian crew going to space. Yes, that means no traditionally-trained astronaut will be on board.

First, you'll hear from Hayley Arceneaux, who will be making history in more ways than one: she'll also be the first child cancer survivor in space, the first person with a prosthetic body part in space, and, at 29 years old, she'll be the youngest American to visit space.

She was chosen to join the mission by our second guest, Jared Isaacman. He's the billionaire partnering with SpaceX to make this historic "Inspiration 4" launch possible. He's also donating and raising millions of dollars for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as part of the mission.
