  • Kat Murti of Students for Sensible Drug Policy: From Prohibition to Progress
    2026/07/05

    We sit down with Kat Murti, Executive Director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), during the historic DEA hearing in Arlington, Virginia, examining the proposed rescheduling of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III. Kat explains why moving cannabis to Schedule III may acknowledge its medical value but still falls far short of meaningful reform. The conversation explores the difference between rescheduling and full federal descheduling, the ongoing consequences of cannabis prohibition, and why thousands of people remain incarcerated for non-violent cannabis offenses while legal dispensaries continue to expand across the country.

    We also discuss the mission of SSDP, the unintended harms created by prohibition, the confusing patchwork of cannabis laws across the United States, and the political forces that continue to slow meaningful reform. Kat shares why grassroots organizing, student activism, and direct engagement with elected officials remain some of the most powerful tools for changing drug policy. If you've ever wondered what meaningful cannabis reform really looks like or why the War on Drugs continues to affect so many lives. This conversation offers an honest and thought-provoking look at the road still ahead.

  • Diana DiZoglio: The Battle for Accountability
    2026/05/10

    In this episode, Massachusetts State Auditor Diana DiZoglio discusses her mission to bring transparency back to state government by rooting out waste and fraud in programs like SNAP and MassHealth. The conversation focuses on DiZoglio’s high-profile legal battle to audit the state legislature—a common practice from 1849 until the early 1990s that was halted following a series of corruption scandals. Despite a 2024 ballot initiative where 72% of voters supported the audit, legislative leaders continue to block access to basic financial records, prompting DiZoglio to urge citizens to support a new ballot measure aimed at expanding public record access and restoring taxpayer trust.
