What's The Nus?: Episode 17 (May 06, 2026)

This week on What’s the Nus?, we’ve got a lot to cover—and a lot of it will probably make you pause for a second.We’re looking at everything from redistricting decisions in the U.S. and what they reveal about how we approach race and representation, to major grocery chains suddenly deciding to clean up their products after years of questionable ingredients.We also get into parenting culture and the way we’ve started overcomplicating things that used to be instinctual, along with a major lithium discovery that could shift the future of energy in the U.S.And then, of course, we head overseas—covering legal battles, rising violence, internal conflicts, and moments that force us to confront not just what’s happening, but how we’re responding to it.Individually, these stories are important. But together, they point to something bigger.So let’s take a closer look.
