What exactly is "the problem"? In this podcast, we tackle the complicated issues affecting the United States today—from failing education policies and systemic inequalities to deep-rooted social crises. With thoughtful analysis, sharp wit, and firsthand insights from the front lines, we unpack each problem to understand where we went wrong and explore what it will take to get things right. Join us as we dive into "The Problem With..." and start conversations that truly matter.
