Fall in the U.S. means homecoming season. For colleges and small town high schools, it's a treasured event, activating people's nostalgia and bringing in a lot of money for schools. How did this tradition start? And how has the meaning and value of homecoming changed over the years? We caught up with Bryant Simon, the Laura H. Carnell Professor of History at Temple University, who takes us through the history of homecoming and how it follows the path of American history, from its creation in the early 20th century, to pushback against it in the 60s and 70s, to its heyday in the 80s. We also get into what a modern day homecoming looks like and what it could mean for alumni to reunite after a year separated by a pandemic. Learn more about your ad choices.

Adolescence is a period of growth that is distinct – so just what is going on between the ears of your teenager? New technologies are giving us an unprecendented view of the inner-workings of our brains, so this time on Kids These Days!, we’re talking about how brain development during a child’s teenage years could account for the odd or risky behavior teens can exhibit during this time.

John Petraitis, Ph.D. has been a social psychologist at UAA for 20 years, having come from a research center in Chicago that focused on attempts to improve the health-related behaviors of people, many of the behaviors being things that start or peak in adolescence, like smoking, substance use and unsafe sex. More recently, he has focused on the potential evolutionary explanations for why adolescent and young males take so much risk, doing research in Alaska's outdoors. Although in his 50's, he describes himself as an incurable adolescent male. Laurence Steinberg, Ph.D. is the Distinguished University Professor and Laura H.
