No matter who you ask, James Buchanan is always, without a doubt, considered to be one of the worst presidents in United States history. This tends to happen when you are in the Oval Office and do nothing to try and stop the outbreak of a civil war. But why did someone so fit for the job, fail so hard? Robert Strauss is the author of “Worst. President. Ever.: James Buchanan, the POTUS Rating Game, and the Legacy of the Least of the Lesser Presidents.” He discusses Buchanan’s presidency and what makes him the worst.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy   Learn more about your ad choices.

Last year, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which gave women a constitutional right to an abortion. Last month, they gutted affirmative action which ended race-conscious admissions at colleges. In addition to the controversial decisions, it seems like key principles like standing and precedent, in some cases are being pushed aside. Is this a fair conclusion? We spoke with Laura Little, the James G. Schmidt Chair in Law at Temple University's Beasley School of Law, to get an answer and see if these recent decisions are changing the way professors teach the law.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy   Learn more about your ad choices.

Before the pandemic, about 8 million U.S. students were considered chronically absent during the school year. Now, that number has doubled. Students who are chronically absent often have lower test scores, fall behind, or even drop out at higher rates than others. Which students are most affected by chronic absenteeism? What can parents and schools do to help them? And, with other problems like graduation rates and teacher shortages, can absenteeism be fixed? Erica Peterson is the national education manager for School Innovations &amp; Achievement. She discusses the importance of attending school and how this issue can help us reimagine our current school systems.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy   Learn more about your ad choices.

In June, several Reddit communities went dark in protest of new policy changes. Then, earlier this month, Twitter announced it would cap the number of tweets users can view. Now, Instagram released its new platform, Threads. With all of these changing social media platforms, what does this mean for the future of social media? What do users want from these new platforms? And, with there being so many places to post, how can we steer clear of disinformation?

The pandemic changed the way we look at work. The Great Resignation saw 50.5 million people quitting jobs in search of higher wages and remote work. Many people started prioritizing a healthy work-life balance and needed their jobs to reflect that. What does that look like? And, which people and populations are at the forefront of this?  Thane Lawrie is the author of The Buddhist CEO. The fictional story is based on his own experience of trying to manage the stress of a CEO while finding the peace of a Buddhist.

Balancing work with life: can it actually be done?

A few weeks ago, Yevgeny Prigozhin - chief of the Russian paramilitary group, the Wagner Group - led a rebellion against Russia's military leadership. Things appear to have fizzled out, but there are a lot of questions left unanswered. Did this rebellion weaken President Putin and his allies? Will it have any effects on the war in Ukraine? What do Russian leaders and citizens think of Prigozhin’s criticism of the Russian military? And where exactly is Prigozhin now? We bring back two experts from Saint Joseph’s University - Dr. Melissa Chakars, Professor and Chair of the Department of History, and Dr. Lisa Baglione, Professor in the Political Science Department and a member of the International Relations Program - to break down the situation in Russia and whether or not it could lead to any change.

A recent study by the McKinsey Health Institute found that of the generations surveyed about the four dimensions of health: mental, physical, social and spiritual, Gen Zers were ranked worst across all categories. It also found that on average Gen Zers are more likely than other generations to cite negative feelings about social media, the Guardian reported. But is social media that bad? Can it offer positive solutions for Gen Z? And, do higher mental health rates just mean more people are talking about it? Alyssa Yiaski is a Masters's student in Psychology at Gwynedd Mercy University. She explains why Gen Z is so open to discussing mental health and the role social media plays.

We don't hear a lot about the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic. At least, we didn't until COVID-19 started being the only thing we talked about. But there's a lot we can learn from what was "almost certainly the worst plague in human history," according to George Wohlreich, President and Chief Executive Officer of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia.

The return to some kind of post-pandemic normalcy is going to hinge on the development of a coronavirus vaccine. This is a process that can take months or years and includes several testing phases to determine if the vaccine is both safe and effective. But there is a way to speed up the process, and it depends on hundreds of people being willing to volunteer to be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. Dr. Nir Eyal is a Professor of Bioethics and Director of the Center for Population-Level Bioethics at Rutgers University. He joins KYW In Depth to talk about the article he co-authored called for controlled human challenge trials to speed up coronavirus vaccine development. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Have you gone to the grocery store, only to be met by an empty flour shelf? A lot of us are using the opportunity of being stuck at home to make delicious things in the oven. But, unfortunately, cookies and brownies and cupcakes usually come in only one serving size -- exactly as many as are currently in front of you.

Kathleen Zelman, a registered dietitian, nutritionist, and the nutrition director for WebMD joins KYW In Depth to talk about how to keep from eating all of the cookies, what to substitute in your recipes to make them healthier, and the science behind why extra body fat makes it more difficult to stave off disease. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
