              Cali, Josh, MrBGreat join Maven for great conversation. 

              The opinions of individual guests are their own and may not represent the views of the podcast or other guests.

              Segments:

              • Expiration of New START
              • corporate layoffs
              • POTUS #5

              • (Heads up: this conversation touches on some sensitive topics. Can you handle views you don't agree with? Listen and find out.) The topic of teaching American History in K-12 led an extended cultural and political conversation the online algorithms tend to bury and seach engines fail to find. What is the value of teaching history today? What roles do identity and assigning blame play in making a future we want?  Where are the missing tools for accountability?
