    President TACO’s Greenland Gambit Jan 22, 2026
    Show notes

    SCOTUS Might Actually Let Trans Kids on the Field Jan 21, 2026
    Show notes

    The Supreme Court heard arguments over state-level bans on trans athletes competing in public schools last week. Though it’s hard to imagine the conservative-majority court calling the bans “discriminatory,” trans athletes and allies have reason to hope for a narrow ruling, rather than an expansion of the existing laws.


    Guest: Kate Sosin, LGBTQ+ reporter for The 19th.

    Care and Feeding | The World Is On Fire. How Do We Tell the Kids? Jan 20, 2026
    Show notes

    While the What Next team takes the holiday, enjoy this episode from our colleagues at Care and Feeding, featuring a familiar voice. What Next will be back with a new episode tomorrow.


    On this episode: Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen have been trying to stay on top of the news…but they’re getting bogged down and worried about it impacting their kids. Luckily What Next host Mary Harris’s literal job is keeping up on the news, and she’s got kids of her own. So, they all sit down to talk about how much to share with the kids, how to stay informed but still show up for the kids, ways to moderate your own anxiety, and so much more.


    But first, they share their latest triumphs and fails. Mary comes in with a win during the college admission process; Lucy almost crashes a birthday party (but she DOESN’T…so it’s a win); Zak takes his daughter to roller derby; and Elizabeth says yes to a choral concert.


    Podcast production by Cheyna Roth. Video production by Micah Phillips.
