I’ve had 3 kids, so I know how challenging pregnancy can be. So it was really important for me to have Dr. Judette Louis on Weekend Edition Sunday to explain what the actual science is about the risks of Tylenol during pregnancy. Spoiler alert: it’s safe, but always talk to your doctor.

Growing up, I never imagined I would be the voice of anything, much less the voice of the White House Correspondents Dinner! But, look at God! So grateful to be part of journalism’s big night. ✨✨

Tracy Chapman is grateful so many find inspiration in her music. And you can play her songs at protests, but she's so much more than a "protest singer." She spoke to @ayesharascoe.bsky.social for the re-release of her debut album and told her why she still has hope.
