Noah Michelson, the Editorial Director at the new HuffPost Personal and Co-host of the Love + Sex Podcast returns to the show
as he does every Thursday to help us close out the week with the stories making
headlines over at HuffPost.

rail project in California has fallen off track, but the potential for more
high speed rail projects in the US has new energy from the Green New Deal and

As
millions of baby boomers are reaching their golden years, the state of
retirement in America is in chaos. A third of Americans having no retirement
savings at all, the financial crisis of 2008 put many investments and home
values in peril, and Social Security covers only part of the gap. Torrey Little Professor of Sociology,
author and Interim Chancellor of UMass Boston, Katherine S. Newman, studied the state of the nation’s workforce to
write Downhill from Here: Retirement Insecurity in the Age of Inequality.
She joins me to discuss how the country’s retirement crisis affects everyone,
across classes and generations.
