In Kim on a Whim, hosts Kim St. Onge and Marc Cox analyze consumer food safety anxieties following a multistate outbreak of Cyclospora illnesses linked to iceberg lettuce imported from Taylor Farms de Mexico. The hosts evaluate consumer behavioral shifts—noting that roughly 40% of Americans report reducing fresh produce consumption—and discuss signage posted in local corporate cafeterias explicitly distancing their salad suppliers from Taylor Farms. Additionally, the segment reviews structural trade dependency on agricultural imports from Mexico, which now account for over 20% of all U.S. food shipments. St. Onge and Cox critique regulatory oversight dynamics at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), examining federal staffing levels, foreign farm inspection frequencies, and economic pressure on commercial growers.

Since the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), public health has been surrounded by controversy. To start, billions of dollars in public health funding were slashed by the Trump administration. With Kennedy at the helm, and these cuts to federal funding, the handling of vaccine recommendations, food safety, and the restructuring of federal public health agencies have all been impacted.  On this Lawyer 2 Lawyer episode, Craig welcomes Michael R. Ulrich, an Associate Professor at Boston University's School of Public Health and School of Law, as they spotlight the current state of public health under RFK Jr.'s leadership. Craig & Michael take a look at HHS' overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule, current outbreaks (measles & cyclospora), and the impact of federal funding cuts to public health.

Vacations are a time to experience new things, and restore our minds and bodies — but sometimes the opposite happens. On this episode, when vacations wreck your health — and how to deal. We hear about evidence-based ways of overcoming jet lag, tips for avoiding "vacation constipation,” surviving the cruise from hell, and what's behind snorkeling deaths in Hawaii.SHOW NOTES: We hear from listeners about their worst vacation-related health incidents, ranging from chicken pox to head injuries.  Ahead of an international trip, Pulse host Maiken Scott talks with Olivia Walch, a researcher at University of Michigan and CEO of a circadian rhythm startup called Arcascope, about the biological processes behind jet lag, and evidence-based tips on how to prevent the worst of it.  Ever notice that your first couple days on a trip, you become a little … backed up? Pulse producer Nichole Currie talks with neurogastroenterologist Trisha Pasricha about what causes “vacation constipation,” and how to overcome it. Pasricha's new book is “You've Been Pooping All Wrong: How to Make Your Bowel Movements a Joy.” Listen to their full  interview.  As avid globetrotters, Gay and Phil Courter always loved going on cruises — until their trip got taken over by an unexpected threat. Pulse reporter Liz Tung recounts the story of how they ended up trapped on a cruise they didn't want to be on — and how they ultimately escaped. Watch their documentary on the experience, or read Gay's book. Of all the adventurous activities on offer while traveling — from volcano trekking to whitewater rafting — there's one that might be a bit more dangerous than you'd expect: snorkeling. We talk with Caitlin Thompson, an investigative reporter for Honolulu Civil Beat, about Hawaii's perplexing number of snorkeling deaths, and the potential causes.

Today's Cruise News covers three developments spanning health, port policy, and onboard dining. Norovirus sickened 125 people — 102 guests and 23 crew — aboard Princess Cruises' Ruby Princess during an Alaska and Canada voyage from San Francisco; the line rolled out enhanced sanitation as the CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program monitored the response remotely, the line's third CDC-reported outbreak of 2026. In Key West, the City Commission voted 5 to 2 to ask the U.S. Navy to consider cruise-ship limits at the Navy-owned Outer Mole Pier, a non-binding resolution as the current lease nears its August 3 expiration. And MSC Cruises detailed a new pan-Asian street-food venue for MSC World Asia — a three-in-one specialty restaurant, bar, and complimentary daytime spot inspired by Indonesia, Singapore, South China, Thailand, and Vietnam — debuting when the 215,863-GT ship enters Mediterranean service on December 4, 2026.

Today's Cruise News covers three stories from across the industry. Princess Cruises' Ruby Princess returned to San Francisco after a norovirus outbreak that affected 102 guests and 23 crew during its 20-night Alaska voyage ending July 2 — the third confirmed norovirus event on a Princess ship in 2026, reported to the CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program. In New York Harbor, Cunard's Queen Mary 2 anchored as the centerpiece of Sail4th 250, the celebration of America's 250th Independence Day featuring more than 100 vessels, 47 tall ships from 20 nations, and a military flypast on July 4. And Nicko Cruises unveiled a 172-day 2027-28 world cruise aboard Vasco da Gama, a roundtrip from Lisbon spanning six continents and 41 countries, bookable in full, as a 125-day segment, or in individual sectors.

It's Tuesday, June 23rd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Pray for Leah Sharibu's release in Nigeria Eight years after 14-year-old Leah Sharibu was kidnapped by Islamic extremists, along with 109 others from a girls' school in Nigeria's Yobe State on February 19, 2018, she is the only remaining captive. Evangelical Focus reports that Leah, now age 22, refused her captors' demands to deny Christ and convert to Islam in order to be released after the attack by Islamic State West Africa Province on the Government Girls' Science and Technical College in Dapchi. Most of the other kidnapped girls have been released, with some dying in captivity. Leah's parents, Nathan and Rebecca Sharibu, said that she has chosen to remain true to Christ at great cost. In their words: “For this courage, she has endured unimaginable hardship in the wilderness. Reports from those who escaped speak of forced marriage, repeated trauma, childbirths in captivity, and the constant shadow of sexual violence used as a weapon of war and control.” Please pray for Leah's freedom from captivity. Brazilian homeschoolers sentenced to 50 days in prison Brazilian parents Audato and Ieda Denardi have been sentenced to 50 days in prison for homeschooling their daughters. The Christian parents were convicted of “intellectual neglect” because the judge said their program failed to include lessons on “gender and sex education” and “tolerance and diversity.”  The Denardis are appealing their case to a higher court. The mother told Alliance Defending Freedom, “As a mother, I cannot conceive a more dictatorial state than the one that wants me in jail because I chose to exercise my right to direct the education and upbringing of my daughters.”  Over 70,000 children are being homeschooled in Brazil today.  Trump-endorsed Columbian conservative wins presidency Colombian right-wing politician Abelardo de la Espriella won the Columbian presidential runoff on Sunday. He garnered 49.6% of the vote compared to leftist Iván Cepeda who took 48.7% of the vote.  De la Espriella was endorsed by U.S. President Donald Trump and promised to take his country in a more conservative direction.  Connecticut liberals require homeschoolers to seek state permission The state of Connecticut is doing its part to keep parents from teaching their own children. The Connecticut Legislature passed House Bill 5468, a bill requiring parents to receive permission from the Connecticut Department of Children and Families in order to homeschool. Regrettably, Democrat Governor Ned Lamont signed the restrictive bill into law.  Attorney Kevin Boden of the Home School Legal Defense Association said, “This profound shift transforms Connecticut from a state where parents had significant freedom to the only state that imposes mandatory background checks on fit parents before they can teach their own children in their own home. By requiring every parent to be pre-screened before they can begin homeschooling, it ceases to acknowledge parents as trusted actors and instead casts them as risks to be managed.”  American farmers in trouble American agriculture is in crisis. Since 2020, the United States has lost almost 150,000 farms and 21 million acres.  Bankruptcies were up 50% year-to-year between 2024 and 2025, according to the State of the American Farmer Report, 2026. Only about half of farmers expect to be profitable this year. And 60% of farmers believe that farming as we know it today will cease to exist without a course correction.  Plus, the U.S. cattle herd is at a 75-year low -- roughly one-quarter cow per person today vs. one-half a cow per person 40 years ago. Deuteronomy 28:1-4 reminds us of God's blessings upon nations:  “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the Earth.   “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God: ‘Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country. Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground, and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle, and the offspring of your flocks.'” Franklin Graham: Ebola outbreak in Congo much worse Evangelist Franklin Graham is calling for prayers as the most recent Ebola outbreak continues to spread in the Democratic Republic of Congo.  The first symptoms are usually fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and headaches. These are usually followed by vomiting, diarrhea, and renal dysfunction, at which point some people begin to bleed both internally and externally. Outbreaks of the disease have had a mortality rate of between 25% and 90%, averaging 50%. According to Graham, “We believe the Ebola outbreak is much worse than we initially thought. We think it's spread much more because it went undetected for several weeks, and it's very difficult.” Graham added, “We need prayer. Our 70 staff members, they're there for a month or so and then [we] rotate them out and then they get a new team in. This is complicated because the borders are closed between [Congo] and Uganda. If you come back into the United States from [Congo], you could be quarantined and so forth. It's not easy. … We just ask people to pray and that God would continue to guide and direct us.”  Fewer women are attending church Women are leaving the Christian church.  Barna.com reports the largest gender gap in recorded history — with only 36% of women attending church compared to 43% of men. The gender gap at the beginning of the 21st century was 50% women attending and only 37% of men. The reversal dates back to 2018. Married dads now lead the charge with 41% attending church in the last week. By contrast, only 30% of married moms attended church in the last week and only 24% of single moms. Witchcraft-themed shows on the rise And finally, NARRATOR: “Once the world was full of wonders, but it belongs to humans now. We have all but disappeared: demons, vampires, and witches hiding in plain sight.” Witchcraft is dominating in the media today — with at least 20 witchcraft-themed shows emerging in the 2020s, and over 50 shows that incorporate occasional witchcraft themes. Examples include: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the Charmed reboot, A Discovery of Witches, Mayfair Witches, Agatha All Along, The Owl House, Fate: The Winx Saga, The Worst Witch, The Bureau of Magical Things, Motherland: Fort Salem, and The Witcher. Witchcraft communes and retreats are on the rise, reports The Guardian.  Women are seeking more avenues for power in the rising age of what they call “patriarchy.” Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns, “There shall not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, June 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Dr. Jeffrey Gold, President of the University of Nebraska, details the evolving experience of caring for the 16 Americans evacuated from the Dutch ship, the HV Hondius, following an outbreak on the ship of the Andes strain of the hantavirus. The American passengers were successfully settled May 11 at both the University of Nebraska Medical Center's National Quarantine Unit (the sole such entity in the United States) and its Biocontainment Unit. These capabilities emerged during the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak in West Africa and became essential during evacuations of Americans during Covid-19 from Wuhan City and the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Anxiety and uncertainty emerge in every episode within Nebraska that require systematic efforts to reassure communities and sustain their confidence and trust. There is still no clear U.S. policy on whether American emergency workers operating overseas during outbreaks will be permitted to return home to such special care facilities.  

What happens when a deadly outbreak is stopped before most people ever hear about it?  Dr. Paige Armstrong, director for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Global Health Center, explains how the CDC works with partners around the world to detect and contain emerging health threats before they reach U.S. communities. From Ebola in Uganda to Marburg in Tanzania, Dr. Armstrong shares real-world examples of how surveillance systems, laboratory networks, trained public health workers, and trusted international partnerships help stop outbreaks at their source. Also, Dr. Marcus Plescia, former ASTHO Chief Medical Officer and District Health Director for the Fulton Health District, District 3-2 in Atlanta, Georgia discusses the massive public health preparations underway for the FIFA World Cup in Atlanta. We'll hear about the complex planning required to protect millions of visitors during one of the world's largest sporting events.Outbreaks You Never Heard About: Because CDC Was There | Global Health Protection | CDCDeveloping a Policy Action Plan to Improve Access to STI Medications WebinarBridging Systems: How Kentucky is Improving Response to Emerging Health Threats | ASTHO

Should an elected official be required to resign if caught in an extra-marital affair? The U.S. now has more than 2,000 measles cases for the second year in a row. The surge is driven mainly by declining vaccination rates & Outbreaks in unvaccinated communities. It raises serious concerns that the country could: lose its measles elimination status. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station were ordered by NASA to shelter in their spacecraft and prepare for potential evacuation on Friday as a Russian crew attempts to fix a worsening leak of air on its portion of the orbital laboratory.

Carnival's Mardi Gras diverts to rescue nine people from a disabled boat off Florida, a reminder of cruise ships' role as first responders at sea. Despite headline-grabbing hantavirus and norovirus outbreaks, booking data shows cruise demand holding firm, with travelers and agents largely unfazed and 2026 sailings still filling. And Astoria, Oregon prepares for about 28,000 cruise passengers across 12 ocean calls in 2026, a concentrated economic boost for a town of 10,000 that's still well below pre-pandemic volumes.

The World Health Organization has declared an international public health emergency because of an outbreak of Ebola centered in the Democratic Republic of Congo that has so far likely killed over 130 people and sickened more than 600. The size of the new outbreak raises questions about whether there were delays in detection. We'll hear about this outbreak and about the U.S. role in containing the last major instance of the virus spreading, in 2014.Click here to read more reporting about this outbreak from NPR's Global Health Team.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

In this episode I explore the astrology behind the deadly Hantavirus outbreak that is currently dominating global news headlines, specifically focusing on how it began around the recent Mars-Saturn conjunction, and demonstrating why ancient astrologers associated these alignments with plagues and pestilences. This is an alignment that we were nervous about and actually predicted in our year-ahead forecast for 2026, partially because it reminded me of the Mars-Saturn conjunction that took place in March and April of 2020. During that time, the world experienced the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns just as Mars and Saturn came together in Capricorn and Aquarius. I review clips from our previous forecasts to show how we anticipated this, and break down exactly why these specific malefic conjunctions describe very difficult periods of time historically. To show how these alignments work in practice, I go through a detailed timeline of the current Hantavirus outbreak that began on a cruise ship over the past month, showing how perfectly the crisis mapped onto the exact Mars-Saturn-Neptune conjunction. I also walk through several other historical case studies from the past decade to demonstrate this recurring pattern. We look at how previous Mars-Saturn conjunctions coincided with major inflection points for the 2014 Ebola outbreak, the 2022 Monkeypox outbreak, and the naming of the AIDS pandemic back in 1982. Part of my goal here was not simply to highlight a successful prediction and show how well the outbreak ended up coinciding with the alignment, but also to demonstrate why I made the prediction based on other similar alignments I had seen in the past. A couple of interesting additional things I found in this episode are that the Hantavirus first became recognized during a major outbreak in the Korean War in the early 1950s, which coincided closely with a Saturn-Neptune conjunction. Later, the Hantavirus was officially named and categorized under two Mars-Saturn conjunctions in 1980 and 1982. Now, we are seeing a recurrence of both of those planetary alignments, with the Mars-Saturn-Neptune conjunction that started in April, right as a new major outbreak of the virus is happening in the world. Finally, I touch on the underlying philosophy of mundane astrology: the idea that the planets are not necessarily causing events to happen, but rather they act as a timing mechanism that mirrors what is happening on Earth. Because repetition is the key to prediction in astrology, studying the alignments surrounding these current and past outbreaks can provide us with a framework for forecasting the future, and my hope is that this will provide a useful foundation for later studies.

Outbreaks of HIV have become regular occurrences in Pakistan. And too frequently it is the children who suffer. In the city of Taunsa, for example, children have tested positive for HIV while their parents have not. So what has been going on? Ghazal Abbasi investigates what and who is to blame. With the help of a staff insider and undercover recording in the city's main hospital, the BBC finds shocking lapses in medical protocol. Medicine vials and syringes are often reused for different children. Cross-contamination seems inevitable. But the local authorities deny the hospital is at the centre of the problem. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.
