Ayaan will introduce each topic herself, and by the end of the week, you&#8217;ll have something the news cycle rarely delivers: a multifaceted analysis of a subject that really matters. Our first series is coming up this month, focusing on the <em>Whatever </em>podcast; look out for the following series, <em>America at 250</em>, coming in July.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
