On this Summer Friday, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including:

• It may have begun with promise, but Jonathan Haidt, social psychologist at New York University's Stern School of Business, argues that social media has ripped apart the fabric of society over the past decade. He offers his analysis, and thoughts on how to overcome the major problems it has created.
• Ibram X. Kendi, professor in the Humanities and the founding director of the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research, and the author of How to Raise an Antiracist (One World, 2022), talks about his new book offering guidance to parents and caregivers.
• Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, a host of the StarTalk Radio podcasts, author of the forthcoming Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization (Henry Holt & Co, 2022), explains why everyone is so excited about the images from the Webb telescope.
• A new company recently purchased eighteen Spanish-language stations that will serve ten of the largest Latinx-populated cities in the country. Graciela Mochkofsky, dean of the Craig Newmark School of Journalism, contributing writer for The New Yorker, and the author of The Prophet of the Andes: An Unlikely Journey to the Promised Land (Knopf, 2022), talks about what this means for the Spanish speaking community, plus her thoughts on the state of journalism as she enters her new role as dean of the Craig Newmark School of Journalism.
• During this moving season, listeners call in to share the best way to get rid of unwanted household items and others share where to pick up the best freebies.
