Week of September 27

  • Kai talks with former Pepsico CEO Indra Nooyi about her new memoir “My Life in Full: Work, Family, and our Future”
  • From first year investment bankers at Goldman Sachs to cashiers at Chipotle, new employees are receiving higher wages and hiring bonuses to join companies.

Marketplace’s Matt Levin looks at how the bump in entry-level pay is roiling company cultures, and how workers feel about it.

On Point

  • September 27: Colleges and universities have lost 1.5 million students over the past 5 years, and men make up 71% of that decline. That may be a lagging indicator of a growing economic and social crisis among American men. We’ll hear from researchers who say American democracy depends on doing something about it.

The Daily

‘I feared I would drown in my bedroom’ – experts warn climate change making mental health worse

  • Description: Experts warn that more people could experience mental health problems due to climate change.

    Research shows that the conditions for extreme weather events like floods and typhoons are made more likely by climate change and may contribute to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and depression.

    Helen Berry, Honorary Professor of climate change and mental health, says it’s “impossible to overstate the impact of climate change unchecked will have on our mental health”.

    Mitzi Jonelle Tan, who lives in the Philippines, has experienced numerous typhoons. She told BBC Minute’s Olivia Le Poidevin how, what she describes as ‘climate trauma’ has caused her to have panic attacks and anxiety.
