The influence of social media on our lives
It’s only been 16 years since social media entered our lives. But in those 16 years, they have moved from the margins of culture to dominating the news cycle when they went down a few weeks ago. Was this shift inevitable? What influence does social media have on our lives?
The cost of a bad boss
Bad bosses cost everyone — the worker, the organization, the larger economy, everyone. Host Angela Davis spoke with Michelle Singletary of The Washington Post and MPR News correspondent Chris Farrell on the high cost of a bad boss.
The art of listening
Member drive is our chance to thank you for listening — and to remind you why you listen. And it’s your chance to support our work. Since our entire enterprise of making radio depends on listening, we thought we’d take this opportunity to consider what it means to listen with intention and compassion. 
The benefits of intergenerational friendship
MPR News host Angela Davis and MPR News reporter Nina Moini met years ago while working in TV. They’re 20 years apart in age — but alike in so many other ways. Angela and Nina share their warm friendship with listeners and are joined by a researcher who digs into the benefits of having much older or younger friends.
The new anthology “A 21st Century Plague: Poetry from a Pandemic” collects the poems of writers from all over the country as they grapple with the ongoing quarantine and the losses from COVID-19. MPR News host Angela Davis speaks with four Minnesota poets included in the anthology about writing through the pain and stress.
