Coming up on today's show:

  • After hearing of the alarming anti-trans rhetoric coming out of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Kate Sosin, LGBTQ+ reporter at the 19th*, focusing on transgender rights, incarceration, politics and public policy, explains how these sentiments are present in state laws throughout the United States. 
  • U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D NY) talks about her work in Washington and more.
  • Through psychology, her own story and that of other refugees, Dina Nayeri, author of The Ungrateful Refugee and her latest, Who Gets Believed?: When the Truth Isn't Enough (Catapult, 2023), examines whose stories are accepted and whose are rejected when the story you tell can determine your fate.
  • Jennifer Senior, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of the forthcoming On Grief: Love, Loss Memory (Atlantic Editions, 2023), reports on what she discovered when she explored the gap most of us have between our actual age and the age we think we are, as listeners answer her question, "How old are you in your head?"
