4 segments
Protesters march Saturday, Jan. 28, 2023, in Memphis, Tenn., over the death of Tyre Nichols, who died after being beaten by Memphis police.

Coming up on today's show:

  • In the wake of the fatal beating by police of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, Alexis Hoag-Fordjour, assistant professor of law and co-director of the Center for Criminal Justice at Brooklyn Law School, talks about the tension between the desire for public safety and over-policing, especially in BIPOC neighborhoods.

  • Jennifer Kingson, chief correspondent for Axios What's Next newsletter, talks about the trend in consciously eating to minimize climate impact.

  • Elie Honig, senior legal analyst at CNN, author of Untouchable: How Powerful People Get Away with It (Harper, 2023) and former New Jersey and federal prosecutor, talks about the way the criminal justice system works differently for those with wealth and power.
  • Listeners call in to share how they take care of themselves when the news is particularly traumatic, like it was this past weekend when the video of police fatally beating Tyre Nichols in Memphis was released.
