Sarah Goble - Paved With Good Intentions (Part 1)

Rekha Sharma Crawford - Crime & Immigration

In American political rhetoric, immigration and crime are constantly fused together. From the deportation of violent offenders to the mechanics of border enforcement, the public conversation is heavily dominated by a criminal justice framework. But there is a massive disconnect: immigration courts are actually civil courts, not criminal ones. How do we cut through the noise and look at these highly complex legal realities with clear minds when fear is being stoked on all sides? To dismantle the myths and map out the facts, David is joined by premier immigration attorney Rekha Sharma-Crawford for a grounded, nuanced conversation unlike anything you’ve heard on this topic.

Sheriff Eric Kirsch - The Power of Vulnerability

David wraps Season One with Sheriff Eric Kirsch, an unlikely lawman whose journey began in New York and took him through military service in Iraq and Afghanistan before landing in rural Kansas.

In many of our systems of governance, whether in health, justice, or the economy, the desire of organisations, movements, or individuals to do good can often have unintended, even catastrophic, consequences.

In this second part of the interview, David and Sarah discuss the consequences of this ordeal and the lessons that can be learned from it.

Prof. Elizabeth Loftus - The Fallibility of Our Memory

Our brain’s capacity for storing memories is the foundation for our learning and relationships, as well as witness testimonies. However, scientific research increasingly suggests just how unreliable this mental archive actually is.  Join David and groundbreaking psychologist Prof. Elizabeth Loftus as they detail her decades of work on the science of memory manipulation. Prof. Loftus explains the misinformation effect—how post-event information can distort recall—and shares her experience providing expert testimony in high-profile trials. They discuss how her research directly impacts modern interrogation techniques, offers critical lessons on separating verifiable fact from implanted suggestion, and forces us to rethink how we handle memory in all areas of life.
