  • Who decides when you're too old to drive?

    Who decides when you're too old to drive?
    Mar 27 2026
    Americans are keeping their driver’s licenses longer than ever and driving well into their old age. But how long is too long? And who decides when to take away the keys?

    NPR’s transportation correspondent, Joel Rose, has been looking into those questions and found that there is no single national standard when it comes to older adults and driving. And the laws vary greatly from state to state.

    Often, the decision on whether it is time to take away the keys is left to family members. And that can be difficult when the driver resists.

  • Oil Prices Are Up and American Workers Are Feeling the Pinch

    Oil Prices Are Up and American Workers Are Feeling the Pinch
    Mar 26 2026
    Anytime tensions are high in the Middle East, oil prices can be expected to spike. So a war in the region is pretty much guaranteed to mean higher prices at the pump. And that is particularly painful for anyone whose living depends on what it costs to fill up.


    Host Scott Detrow speaks with NPR’s economics correspondent Scott Horsley about how the U.S. economy is faring, almost a month since the U.S. and Israel launched the first strikes against Iran.


    Plus, we hear from American business owners whose companies are already being impacted by higher fuel prices – a long-haul trucker based in Ohio, and a pair of brothers who run a lobster distribution operation from Long Island, New York.

  • Cory Booker wants Democrats to 'Stand' and fight

    Cory Booker wants Democrats to 'Stand' and fight
    Mar 25 2026
    Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) has a new book.

    Unlike much of his public speaking of late – like his record-breaking 25-hour Senate floor speech – it isn’t directly about the politics of the current moment.

    It’s an argument for civic ideals – for ten virtues he sees as critical to American life, like agency and patriotism, but also vulnerability and humility.

    What does that mean for his political future? Sen. Booker addresses that question among others in our interview.
