  • What Seeking Revenge Does To Our Brains

    What Seeking Revenge Does To Our Brains
    Jun 12 2025
    When someone hurts us, we might feel wounded or sad. We might feel angry and defensive. But sometimes those feelings turn into something more dangerous: a desire for revenge.

    Wanting to right a perceived wrong is normal. But neuroscientists are now finding that revenge-seeking behavior can be a form of addiction.

    Why does hurting those who have hurt us make us feel good, at least in the moment? And why does getting back at someone often backfire?

  • Seniors Are The Fastest-Growing Group Experiencing Homelessness. Why?

    Seniors Are The Fastest-Growing Group Experiencing Homelessness. Why?
    Jun 11 2025
    People aged 50 and older have grown from about 10 percent of the homeless population to half. That's according to the most recent federal data.

    The increase is being driven by a number of factors including housing affordability and fixed incomes. It comes as social safety net programs like Medicaid are on the chopping block and fears grow over the future of Social Security under the Trump Administration.

    We talk about the reasons behind the dramatic increase in homelessness among seniors and how can they be protected.

    The 1A Record Club Listens To The Songs Of Summer
    Jun 11 2025
    The first official "Song of Summer" award was given to One Direction in 2013 for... well... "Best Song Ever." It's been more than a decade since that inaugural MTV Video Music Award.

    But has the way we consume music evolved so much that a "song of summer" is a relic of the not-so-distant past? How can we measure what makes a good summer song?

    We convene the 1A Record Club to get into it.

    If You Can Keep It: Rehiring The Federal Government
    Jun 9 2025
    After slashing the federal workforce by tens of thousands earlier this year, the Trump administration is looking to fill those empty positions again.

    But this time, they want Trump loyalists.
