A daily 15-minute deep dive

Make sense of a major news story and what it means for you, every weekday.

Hello!    The news moves faster than ever these days and, as both a parent and a journalist, I know it can be hard to keep up.   That's why we created the Consider This podcast. Every weekday afternoon, we take a big story in the news and look at the context behind the latest developments. And we do it all in just 15 minutes, with the help of the All Things Considered team. This week, we're exploring two topics with far-reaching implications: college and trans rights. On yesterday’s episode, we took questions about college life in the Covid era from graduating high school seniors, and had them fielded by some real experts on the subject: current college students. Play episode On today’s episode, we’re looking at the anti-trans legislation currently making its way through 28 states. We’ll hear from one young trans Alabaman who could be directly impacted by this debate, and new Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine – the first openly trans federal official to be confirmed by the Senate.  With every topic we take on, we help you better understand the moment we’re living through – and what it means for you.   You can catch Consider This on NPR One, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.    I hope you’ll consider listening.   — Audie Cornish Host, Consider This and All Things Considered Listen Now Follow The Podcast You received this message because you're subscribed to Best of NPR emails.
