We launched a new series, “And Then What?” to strike a balance between deep dive reporting and avoiding daily news cycles. The premise is straightforward: take a headline and explore its aftermath.

This segment airs at the end of each show and is removed once it becomes outdated. Listeners can opt in, and fortunately, engagement has been positive.

Many thanks to our Diaries+ members whose support is making this series possible.
