The Middle with Jeremy Hobson

On this episode of The Middle, we're asking how trust in science can be restored. It's taken a hit following the COVID Pandemic, and the Trump Administration has elevated science skeptics to positions of power and proposed giant cuts in scientific research. Jeremy is joined by Science Friday host Flora Lichtman and Yale theoretical astrophysicist Priya Natarajan. DJ Tolliver joins as well plus calls from around the country. #Trump #WhiteHouse #Science #ScienceFriday #RFK #DrOz #climatechange #research

On this episode of The Middle, we're asking what socialism means to you. The United States just overthrew Venezuela's socialist President Nicholas Maduro and now, the Mayor of America’s biggest city is a democratic socialist. Just the word “socialism” can have different meanings depending on who you ask. Jeremy is joined by Tomas Philipson, an economist at the University of Chicago and Jacobin editor Micah Uetricht. #socialism #venezeula #Maduro #Mamdani #NewYorkCity #democraticsocialism #communism #Bernie #AOC
