Hour 1
- The open Legislature we know today - every bill gets a hearing, and always in public - wasn't always so. Terry Woster (who coverd the state Capitol for four decades) and others explain how closed the Legislature once was, and how it got opened up in Seth Tupper's latest Why is That?

- Governor Noem says Title IX is under attack and has launched a coalition to protect fairness in women's sports. But does Title IX really block transgender girls from playing sports with cisgender girls? Sarah Axelson, senior director at the Women's Sports Foundation, explains what Title IX is and isn't.
- The pandemic is supercharging future advancements in public health, vaccine development, and genetics? Do we have the regulatory framework to deploy these advances fairly, ethically, and wisely? Jamie Metzl is a futurist and the author of the book "Hacking Darwin."
