A New Camera Angle on the Truth
John talks about the massive protests over the killing of Renee Nicole Good.

Then, he interviews Dr. Maya Shankar who is a cognitive scientist and the creator, executive producer, and host of the podcast, "A Slight Change of Plans". They discuss her forthcoming book "The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans".
