It's Been a Minute

Death and grief in 'Succession'; plus, privacy and the abortion pill

This week, host <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/1123917129/brittany-luse">Brittany Luse</a> is joined by UC Berkeley Law professor <a href="https://www.law.berkeley.edu/our-faculty/faculty-profiles/khiara-bridges/#tab_profile">Khiara Bridges</a> to connect the dots between the recent legal battles over the abortion pill mifepristone and our constitutional right to privacy. Then, <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/93702353/linda-holmes">Linda Holmes</a> of NPR's 'Pop Culture Happy Hour' stops by to chat about the television episode that still has our group chats in a chokehold, and how it eloquently captured the way we experience death and grief in real life.
