The Progress Report: Crime Is Down, Fear Is Up!
from What Could Go Right? · host The Progress Network with Zachary Karabell and Emma Varvaloucas
On this week’s episode, Zachary and Emma dig into three surprising pieces of underreported good news. Illinois becomes the first state to ban AI from acting as a therapist, which is sparking a debate about ethics, tech limits, and vulnerable users. Global deaths from extreme weather have hit record lows in 2025, and in the U.S., the FBI’s final 2024 crime stats show a dramatic drop in murder, violent crime, and property crime, even as public fear remains sky-high. As always, Zachary and Emma cut through the noise to uncover the facts and provide your weekly reminder that progress is happening. What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.
