Episode Summary – The A1 Education: Inside the War on the Department of Education In this pertinent and topical episode, journalist and host Darisse Smith delves into the political storm surrounding the U.S. Department of Education. With sharp historical context and a personal lens, Darisse traces the department’s controversial origin story—from post-Reconstruction roots to Cold War-fueled investment, all the way to the present-day push for its elimination by the Trump administration. Featuring a compelling interview with Barbara Hoblitzell, who was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Higher Education within the Office of Legislation and Congressional Affairs at the Department of Education, the episode explores what the Department of Education actually does, including its critical role in civil rights enforcement, student financial aid, and support for special education. Together, they unpack the consequences of the recent 50% staffing cuts, the ideological battles over Title VI and IX, and the growing threat to educational equity across states. With candid personal reflections on navigating special education as a parent, Darisse also raises an urgent question: What is the plan if the Department of Education disappears? Who Will Be Left Behind? #DepartmentOfEducation#PublicEducation #EducationMatters #JournalismOfEverythingPodcast #EducationalEquity #SpecialEducationRights #IEPAdvocacy #CivilRightsInSchools #AccessToEducation #TitleIX #FederalVsState #EducationCuts #EdFundingCrisis…

The Wright Brothers and What Birth Order Means For Your Personality 53:49

Is birth order the key to understanding personality, or is it just a convenient myth? In this episode of The Journalism of Everything Podcast , we look at the psychology of birth order through the lens history’s most famous set of siblings—Wilbur, Orville and Katharine Wright. Though Wilbur and Orville Wright were considered middle children, it is hard to know if their personalities had anything to do with their birth order. Wilbur was reserved, and more meticulous while Orville was more outgoing and impulsive, though also most comfortable working in one of their projects. Katharine was the strong-willed, opinionated and extroverted youngest sibling, and only daughter. In some ways, they each fit into the various birth order stereotypes, but the loss of their mother and having moved at least 12 times during their childhoods undoubtedly played a role in their personalities as adults. In this episode, we examine the theories of Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler, one of the first to suggest that birth order influences personality. We break down his ideas on family roles, inferiority complexes, and the fight for parental attention—contrasting them with modern psychological research that largely debunks the notion that birth order determines who we become. There have been multiple studies in the past several decades that have examined the relationship of birth order on personality and intelligence, with mixed results. So, does birth order really matter? Or are we just looking for patterns where none exist? This episode combines history, psychology, and myth-busting to help you rethink everything you thought you knew about siblings, personality, and the forces that shape us. #thewrightbrothers #birthorderpersonality #birthorderIQ #OrvilleWright #WilburWright #KatharineWright #FirstInFlight #AlfredAdler…

The Smoldering of Luigi Mangione: Does Vigilante Justice Belong In a Democracy? 1:05:45

7 weeks ago1:05:45

1:05:45

When accused executioner Luigi Mangione shot Unitedhealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in the back in NYC in December, many people were not horrified, but celebratory. Thompson represented corporate greed in the healthcare industry, and people have been simmering with rage about denied claims for decades. While this rage is understandable, is it good for a democracy for people to be the judge, jury and executioner? Host and freelance journalist Darisse Smith interviews Professor Jon Michaels of the UCLA School of Law, a specialist in constitutional and national security law, as well as the co-author of "Vigilante Nation," with David Noll. They discuss several prominent cases of vigilante justice in addition to Luigi Mangione, such as the cases of Daniel Penny and Kyle Rittenhouse. While Penny and Rittenhouse are examples of the more conventional view of vigilante justice, Darisse and Professor Michaels discuss the implications of state-sponsored vigilante justice, such as when the government incentivizes private citizens to turn each other in, like with Texas' 6-week abortion ban, SB-8. Their discussion further addresses the rise of political violence, the moral and psychological motivations behind vigilante actions, and the potential societal and democratic repercussions. #VigilanteJustice #VigilanteNation #CriminalJustice #LawAndOrder #SocialIssues #JournalismPodcast #CurrentEvents #Democracy #LegalDiscussion #LawProfessorInterview #SocialJustice #LuigiMangione #DanielPenny #KyleRittenhouse #SB8…

A Police Jacket and a Piece of Paper: The Paradox of Immigration Enforcement 1:08:58

1:08:58

With each new term, Presidents must establish their stance on illegal immigration. Will they work with neighboring countries to process prospective immigrants? Will they work with Congress to reform convoluted immigration laws? Will they treat every immigrant as a criminal who must be prosecuted? President Donald Trump took office on January 20th and immediately shut down legal ways for immigrants to seek asylum at the U.S. southern border. He also ordered dozens of "raids" to track down illegal immigrants. His stance on immigration is clear, but will it stick? In this episode, host Darisse Smith discusses the broken immigration system, the pseudo-courts that process undocumented individuals, and the language of immigration law with immigration attorney Rekha Sharma-Crawford of the Sharma-Crawford Law Firm, based in Kansas City, Missouri. Rekha has 25 years of experience, serves on the Executive Board of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and has been an Adjunct Professor at the University of Kansas School of Law as well as Washburn University School of Law. Rekha and Darisse have a lively discussion about how words like “raid” and “invaders” are designed to evoke anger and panic toward immigrants, while the reality of the law is much less dramatic. If you have ever wondered about the realities of immigration law in the U.S., this episode is for you. The Journalism of Everything Podcast is a new show covering every topic you’ve ever been curious about. Host Darisse Smith is a seasoned journalist who brings obsessive research, expert interviews, and a unique spin to every topic. #ImmigrationLaw #JournalismOfEverything #PodcastEpisode #USImmigration #ImmigrationReform #ICERaids #ImmigrationRights #ImmigrationAttorney #ImmigrationPolicy…
