More and more independent content creators are shaking up Hollywood by financing and distributing and their own shows to audiences around the world.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the ongoing discussion of criminal justice reform, the effect of incarceration of the families left behind is often not talked about. Chris Bates from The Orrin G. Hatch Foundation joined Boyd to discuss his new report advocating for family-centered solutions instead. They also talk about how strengthening families can help reduce recidivism and crime overall. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The reverberations from what happened on January 6, 2021 are still being felt in the halls of the US Capitol almost a year later. Congressman John Curtis talked with Boyd about the negative changes he's seen in D.C. and beyond since the riot and what needs to be done both to heal society and get Congress working together again.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Social media is full of people "owning" the other side by pointing to political talking points. But Boyd argues that, many times, this focus on a good statistic obscures the whole picture.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Politicians and social media influencers often justify censoring what they believe is "misinformation" by arguing that you cannot yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre. But Jeff Kosseff, a cybersecurity-law professor at the United States Naval Academy, joins Boyd to discuss his new piece in The Atlantic picking apart that argument. They also talk about why letting the government determine what we can say has serious implications for free speech.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many political analysts are puzzled about why Democrats failed to pass the Build Back Better social spending bill, especially as some of the key components are popular in the polls. But are politicos and politicians misreading the room?
