  • One of the cheapest ways to save a life is going away (EXTENDED VERSION)

    One of the cheapest ways to save a life is going away (EXTENDED VERSION)
    Jul 4 2025
    This episode was first published as a bonus episode for our Planet Money+ listeners. Today, we're making it available for everyone!

    U.S. aid helped Eswatini and Lesotho, two small countries in southern Africa, in their efforts to treat and curb the spread of HIV. Will President Trump's "America First" foreign policy threaten years of progress there against the virus?

    In this bonus episode, we're featuring an extended conversation between Darian Woods and Jon Cohen, senior correspondent with Science magazine. They talk about Jon's reporting trip to Eswatini and Lesotho in May and the early impacts he saw of the Trump administration's foreign aid cuts. We also hear about the critical role of PEPFAR (the U.S. President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief) in the global response to HIV/AIDS and some other things we couldn't fit into the original episode.

    You can read Jon's recent article in Science magazine here.

  • How ICE crackdowns are affecting the workforce

    How ICE crackdowns are affecting the workforce
    Jul 3 2025
    The Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants might be the most profound change in the American labor market right now. Industries that rely on immigrant labor are especially vulnerable, as ICE continues to raid businesses believed to have unauthorized workers.

    Today on the show, we talk to representatives from the agriculture, construction and long-term care industries to ask: Are people still showing up to work?
