  • What's Changed Since George Floyd Was Murdered By Police

    What's Changed Since George Floyd Was Murdered By Police
    May 29 2025
    It's been five years since widespread protests erupted after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd on May 25, 2020.

    That murder, and the resulting national protests, led to numerous calls for police reform in communities around the country.

    But the politics of policing have changed since 2024. Perceptions of crime and its relationship with immigration were central issues during the last presidential election, particularly for the Republican Party.

    And now, the Trump administration says it's undoing recent federal efforts to supervise police reforms in certain cities.

    We discuss where the end of those efforts leaves cities and police departments trying to be more accountable to those they're supposed to serve and protect.

  • The Future Of Fighting And Preventing Forest Fires

    The Future Of Fighting And Preventing Forest Fires
    May 28 2025
    80 years ago, Smokey the Bear was mostly talking about campfire safety. Now? Things are a little different.

    Forest fires have always been a normal part of our landscape – and a tool used by human civilizations for millennia.

    But as climate change makes our landscapes hotter and drier, wildfires are getting bigger and more destructive. Fire consumed 8.9 million acres across the U.S. last year. The LA County fires this January are the costliest so far, with some estimates putting the total close to $250 billion in damages.

    We discuss how we can better adapt to living with massive fires and how we should think about fighting – and preventing – them.

  • In Good Health: Detecting And Treating Prostate Cancer

    In Good Health: Detecting And Treating Prostate Cancer
    May 27 2025
    The news last week of former President Joe Biden's advanced prostate cancer has more people thinking and talking about the condition.

    About 1 in 8 men in the U.S. are diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives. It's the most-diagnosed cancer in men and the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in American men after lung cancer. That's according to the American Cancer Society.

    In this installment of our series, "In Good Health," we talk about how to detect and treat prostate cancer. Then, we switch gears to talk about the Food and Drug Administration's plans to potentially restrict access to the COVID-19 vaccine.
