- U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D NY) talks about her work in Washington, the debt ceiling compromise, and more.
- Maria Hinojosa, founder of Futuro Media and president of Futuro Investigates, anchor and executive producer of Latino USA, and the author of the Once I Was You: A Memoir of Love and Hate in a Torn America (Simon and Schuster, 2020), talks about her PBS Frontline documentary and Latino USA special episode that examines the tragedy at Uvalde, and where we go from here.
- Callers in their 20s and 30s discuss whether they aspire to work a "dream job" that speaks to who they are and provides broader meaning to their lives, or if they prefer a "good enough job" that pays the bills and requires them to find purpose beyond the office.
