On June 1, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law that bans transgender girls and women from women’s sports teams. The bill, signed at the start of Pride Month, is the latest in an anti-trans legislative trend. A dozen similar bills have passed this year, and state legislatures have considered more than a hundred others, making 2021 a record year for legal restrictions to transgender peoples’ rights.

Recently, hackers successfully targeted the country’s largest fuel pipeline, the world’s largest meat processor and the New York City transit system. One company even paid the hackers nearly $5 million to recover its stolen data. In the wake of these cyberattacks, the White house warned companies to increase their cybersecurity and formed a Department of Justice task force, which was able to recapture that ransom money. DU cybersecurity professor Nate Evans discusses what makes a company vulnera...

Infighting in the Republican party intensified this month: Those skeptical of the 2020 presidential election results removed Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership post, while a group of more than 100 Republicans have organized a movement to reform their party or splinter off and start something new. Nearly two-thirds of Americans say they have had it with the two party system, according to a Gallup poll from earlier this year. But even though there’s a will to create a third party, is ther...

Over the last year, working moms have experienced serious burnout. Between the pandemic, closed daycare centers and schools, work from home and isolation from support systems, they have had countless challenges to negotiate and too few resources to draw on. We are just starting to understand the toll the pandemic has taken and the long-term implications for women, their families and society as a whole. Recent U.S. census numbers show that 3.5 million mothers with school-age children left work la...

With plastics overtaking every corner of the planet, from Mount Everest to ocean habitats, consumers have started seeking solutions — everything from recycling and plastic bag bans to antistraw campaigns. But are these solutions moving us closer to a cleaner planet, or is the plastics problem much bigger than we know? Assistant professor Jack Buffington, whose work in supply chain management has driven him to explore solutions to our plastics problem, joins this week’s episode of RadioEd to expl...

Across the U.S., all eyes are on the Derek Chauvin trial, which will decide whether the former police officer is guilty of murdering George Floyd last May. But no one will be listening as intently as the jurors tasked with delivering a verdict. Over two weeks, 12 jurors and three alternates were chosen from a pool of more than 300, and these individuals will hear one of the most high-profile cases in recent memory. Law professor John Campbell joins RadioEd in a conversation about the ethics of j...

In the year since COVID-19 shut down the United States, businesses have closed their doors, students and teachers have created virtual classrooms, employees created home offices, and friends and families were separated for months. While the virus spread rapidly across the country, another crisis was growing alongside it: a mental health crisis. A special episode of RadioEd explores the ways we’ve struggled, adapted and overcome — whether through adopting crucial telehealth technology, leaning on...

Trust in U.S. news media has been in free fall for years. That statement is problematic enough on its face, much less when consumers are in need of accurate information to stave off a global pandemic or choose a president to lead them through. Misinformation has sewn seeds of doubt, grown conspiracy theories and undermined the efforts of public health officials. Kareem El Damanhoury, a professor in the University of Denver's Department of Media, Film and Journalism Studies, discusses the roots o...
