13 August 2026, 8:00 am - 29 minutes 23 secondsKatie’s One-on-One with Senator Bill Cassidy
Public health remains one of this country’s most politically charged issues. Six years after the COVID pandemic upended everyday life, Americans are still divided over vaccines, scientific expertise, and the role of our nation's top health agencies. Meanwhile, the U.S. is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in decades, underscoring just how high the stakes remain. Few senators have spent more time thinking about these issues than Bill Cassidy. The Louisiana Republican is not only a physician, but has spent much of his life improving public health for the residents of his state. He is chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, and one of the key lawmakers overseeing the nation's health agencies during this particularly turbulent time. In this wide ranging conversation, Katie speaks with him about the measles outbreak, the challenge of rebuilding trust in public health, his ideas for lowering healthcare costs, and why he believes Congress still has time to save Social Security.

She calls it "Hinkley on steroids."
Katie and Erin discuss water use, energy demand, local opposition, and why Erin believes communities deserve more transparency, accountability, and oversight as the AI infrastructure boom accelerates.

Along the way, they also discuss why family and friends are the only things that really matter, the importance of maintaining a sense of wonder, and why everyone should spend an hour a week with a peony.

Cameron Oaks Rogers, host of the podcast Conversations With Cam, sits down with her mother Cindy Linville for a raw, funny, and deeply moving conversation about motherhood, anxiety, and what changes when a parent finally says yes to help.
Live on stage for Body & Soul's "Reinventing Relationships" event at City Winery NYC, Cameron and Cindy talk about the years Cameron spent gently pushing her mom toward therapy and medication — and what happened after Cindy finally agreed. They get into what it's like to feel truly present for the first time in decades, how anxiety can disguise itself as productivity, navigating grandparenthood with a calmer mind, and the moment a sleep study and brain scan became the wake-up call Cindy needed.
It's an honest look at generational patterns around mental health, the language older generations never had for anxiety, and what it means to finally put yourself first — at any age.

30 June 2026, 8:00 am - 38 minutes 28 secondsREGIME CHANGE: Katie’s One-on-One with Maggie HabermanJournalist Maggie Haberman has spent decades covering Donald Trump, from his days as a New York real estate developer to his return to the White House for a second term. Now, she and her fellow New York Times reporter Jonathan Swan have written Regime Change, an inside account of the first 14 months of Trump's second presidency based on more than 1,000 interviews and extensive behind-the-scenes reporting. In this wide-ranging conversation with Katie, Haberman argues that this presidency is fundamentally different from Trump's first. The advisers who once tried to constrain his impulses have largely been replaced by people who share his worldview and trust his instincts, paving the way for an administration marked by unprecedented corruption, sweeping assertions of executive power, and a fundamental redefinition of the presidency itself.
