S1 E3 - Should America Be the World's Cop?

Trump’, and if the US is no longer 'indispensable’ on the global stage.

S1 E6 - Is Sexual Harassment Inevitable in the Workplace?
How common is sexual harassment in the workplace? This week, Hollywood mega mogul Harvey Weinstein is fired amid accusations of sexual impropriety and rape.
