Is the news industry polarizing us and putting us into echo chambers? Can we find unbiased news in America? Or at least can we see trustworthy sources and understand which “way they lean?” These are the questions keeping Dan and Kim up at night. So they invited Arjun Moorthy, co-founder of The Factual, to help quell their anxiety.

As of March, 2022, 18 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana, adding it to alcohol and nicotine as a third drug legal for adults. Is it time for a reckoning on the “War on Drugs” in America? What about what happens to those incarcerated Americans after we’ve changed the laws? Kim and Dan talk drugs, decriminalization and regulation in this episode of My America.

Whether it’s Encanto or In the Heights, or any Lin-Manuel Miranda project out there in the world today, it’s hard not to notice more LatinX representation in America these days. As two White Americans, Kim and Dan notice and appreciate the increased diversity in storytelling, but wanted to know what the change means to someone from the LatinX community. So in this episode, they chat with Carmen, whose parents immigrated to America, who lives in Texas, and who faced fears of xenophobia and racism in recent years. And yet, who loves her country.

We’ve lost the ability to talk about voting and politics with our family and friends. Or so it would seem. But what if you could have those discussions again? Kim shares a few ideas on how to talk about politics and voting with people close to you in a way that won’t leave you lonely. Probably.
