PRI: To the Best of Our Knowledge Podcast
What Can We Learn From Teenagers? [Rebroadcast]
2019/01/12
Info (Show/Hide)
All over the country, a chorus of hope is coming from an unexpected group — teenagers. They are marching, protesting and demanding a better future as we – the adults – watch them with a kind of heartbreaking pride. These teenagers are not waiting for adults to figure things out for them.
They have superpowers — innocence, idealism, and Instagram — and they aren't waiting for permission to use them to reshape the conversation around everything from gun control to education to climate change.
What can we learn from teenagers today? What do they have that the rest of us don't?
Guests:
Angie Jiang , Kevin Coval , Luis Carranza , Kee Stein , Frances Jensen , Angie Thomas , Tyler Ruzich
The Third Act [Rebroadcast]
2019/01/05
Info (Show/Hide)
If life is a play, what happens during the last act? What’s it like to live knowing you have a limited amount of time left? This week, we’re talking about how to face, and in some cases, embrace your third act, whenever it arrives. Whether you’re looking at retirement, a late-life job change, an illness or just a lot of birthday candles on the cake — how do you live differently when you reach what’s likely to be your final act?
Guests:
Sabrina Frey , Daniel Pink , Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey , Martin Amis
Ending With A Flourish [Rebroadcast]
2018/12/29
Info (Show/Hide)
New Years celebrations are all parties and hats, songs and champagne. No one ever seems to talk about the fact that something big just ended. An entire year of life, come and gone. Shouldn’t we pause to mourn, or mark its passing with a little reverence?
We don’t handle endings well, in general. So this hour, let’s learn about how to make a good ending — whether leaving a lover, quitting a job, or getting ready for the end of life itself.
Guests:
Steve Almond , Ilana Gershon , Sean Hemingway , Simon Critchley , David Giffels
Should You Delete Your Facebook Account?
2018/12/22
Info (Show/Hide)
Your finger’s hovering over the "delete" button on your Facebook app. Your friends are abandoning Twitter. Every day brings fresh revelations of data breaches, privacy abuses, Russian spies, trolls. Is it time to hit “delete” on all of it?
But then again, we joined these platforms for a reason. In a more perfect world, what could these platforms be doing for us?
Guests:
Jaron Lanier , Ethan Zuckerman , Whitney Phillips , DeRay Mckesson , Yuval Noah Harari
The Secret Language of Trees [Rebroadcast]
2018/12/15
Info (Show/Hide)
Using a complex network of chemical signals, trees talk to each other and form alliances with fellow trees, even other species. In fact, whole forests exist as a kind of superorganism. And some trees are incredibly old. Did you know a single bristlecone pine can live up to 6,000 years? And the root mass of aspens might live 100,000 years? We explore the science and history of trees and talk with Richard Powers about his epic novel "The Overstory."
Guests:
Mark Hirsch , Richard Powers , Suzanne Simard , Amos Clifford , Daegan Miller
Giving Is Complicated
2018/12/08
Info (Show/Hide)
Even the most welcome gift can spark guilt, resentment, obligation or vulnerability. We can be inspired by the generosity of others, or unsettled by uncertainty of how to say thank you, or whether an especially generous gift comes with strings attached.
This hour, unwrapping the tangled emotions behind giving — and getting.
Guests:
Megan Costello , Haddyr Copley-Woods , David Graeber , Anand Giridharadas , Elizabeth Dunn
Is Anger Useful?
2018/12/01
Info (Show/Hide)
We’ve been taught to ignore, stifle, or just get over anger for many years — but what if we embraced it? It seems like most of us are feeling angry these days. But what if we took that emotion and instead of letting it eat us up, used it as fuel to do something, to actually help us feel better? Could anger be a useful emotion?
Guests:
Rebecca Traister , Cristen Conger , Caroline Ervin , Richard Davidson , Alice Walker
Religion Without Doctrine
2018/11/24
Info (Show/Hide)
What's the essence of religion? God? Scripture? Moral codes? Or is it really about something more mysterious and unexplainable?
In this hour, we explore the roots of religion — religion before it's even called "religion." Because if you strip away all the doctrine, the dogma, the rules for how to live — what’s left are primal spiritual experiences. But what do they tell us about ourselves and our world?
Guests:
Elizabeth Krohn , Jeff Kripal , Elaine Pagels , Jericho Brown
We've Had 30 Years Of Prozac. Why Are We Still Depressed? [Rebroadcast]
2018/11/17
Info (Show/Hide)
Modern anti-depressants have saved a lot of minds. And lives. But our 30-year experiment with modern anti-depressants is taking a toll. What have they done to our bodies? And how do we navigate that trade-off between body and mind? Is it clear that they even work?
There are a lot of us who struggle with mood disorders or mental illness of one sort or another. If you do, we here at TTBOOK want you to know that you’re not alone. If you're looking for more in-depth knowledge on what you might be going through, the National Alliance on Mental Illness is an incredible resource.
And if you just need something to elevate your spirit, check out the playlist that Charles made at the bottom of this page. It's packed with the music he listens to when he’s down and needs a lift. Not a fake happy song kind of lift – something honest but also hopeful.
**WARNING: The conversation with Lauren Slater in this show features frank discussion of depression and self-harm. The audio doesn't contain a trigger warning, but for listeners who may be sensitive to discussion of suicide, please consider listening to other interviews on the show separately, or skipping this episode.
Guests:
Lauren Slater , Charles Raison , Anna Fels , Jaime Lowe
Writing Truth and Lies
2018/11/10
Info (Show/Hide)
We all tell stories about our lives: funny stories, happy stories, sad stories. But are they true stories? In an age of “alternative facts” and “fake news,” we’re all thinking harder about why truth matters – not just in politics, but in our personal lives. A biographer, a poet, a memoirist and a filmmaker describe the moral struggle and personal cost involved in telling not just the truth, but the whole truth.
*Guests: * Caroline Fraser , Terese Marie Mailhot , Karl Ove Knausgaard , Errol Morris
Building A Better Ballot Box
2018/11/03
Info (Show/Hide)
How do we put the fairness and the fun back in American elections? In this hour, we present a few simple ideas for how to remake the electoral process.
Some are small tweaks — like mandatory voting — that could make the whole system run more smoothly: Others may sound a little crazy, like letting 10-year-olds vote. Or creating a marketplace where people buy, sell and trade their votes. Or making election day a national holiday, with parades. And cake.
**Guests: **Carol Anderson , Jason Brennan , Pippa Norris , E. Glen Weyl , Jonathan Bernstein , Eric Liu

Discovering America's Black DNA [Rebroadcast]
2018/10/20

Guests:
Alex Gee , Erin Hoag , Annette Gordon-Reed , Anita Foeman
Pick Your Poison
2018/10/13
Covert spies painting nerve agents on doorknobs? It's not the only way to poison someone. We hear stories of radioactive paint, formaldehyde-spiked baby formula, and a beautiful garden full of plants that could kill you.
Guests: Deborah Blum , Kathryn Harkup , Amy Stewart , Kate Moore
What's Wrong With Men? [Rebroadcast]
2018/10/06

Guests:
Gavin McInnes , Alexandra Hall , Kyle “Guante” Tran Myhre , Warren Farrell , Ashanti Branch
Listening to the City
2018/09/29
Cities can be cacophonous and loud, a chaos of sonic discord. If, that is, you don't really focus your listening. People who’ve trained their ears to hear urban soundscapes in new ways hear something different.
Guests:
David Rothenberg , David Haskell , Aaron Henkin , Wendel Patrick , Jennifer Stoever , Pierre Schaeffer , Vivienne Corringham
Magical Thinking [Rebroadcast]
2018/09/22
"Magical thinking" gets a bad rap these days. It suggests losing your grip on reality or being so gullible that you'll believe anything - from ghosts to miracles. But what if magic isn't pure fantasy? Maybe it's the gateway to wonder.
*Guests: * Nate Staniforth, Michael Muhammad Knight, Haleema Shah, Chloe Benjamin
The Ways We Are Born — Again and Again
2018/09/15
Info (Show/Hide)
If you think of your life as a series of births, what changes? The first birth is when you arrive here, as a wet, wiggling newborn. But there may be other transitions in your life that feel just as difficult and profound. Some people actually call those passages re-birth. But why does the birth metaphor matter?
This hour, we examine midwives, trans men, and born again Christians. Birth. Rebirth. And Born Again.

What's Wrong With Work?
2018/09/01
It's not easy in America today to find work that matters, that’s meaningful, and that pays enough to live on. Which is the one thing we don’t talk about. What’s wrong with work — and how do we fix it?
**Guests: ** Alissa Quart, David Graeber, James Livingston, Niki Okuk, Studs Terkel
