Choice Words with Samantha Bee

Andy Slavitt, President Biden’s White House Senior Advisor for the Covid response and President Obama’s head of Medicare and Medicaid, joins Sam to breakdown the current world of healthcare and discuss the life-changing decision to call the White House and offer to help fix the ACA website. They talk about why powerful people are so compelling and how it makes making decisions even harder and how to even know who in the room should be making the decision, and being willing to listen to good ideas from the other side. Plus they talk about why it’s important to be nice to Siri, the difference between being entitled or honored to have a big job, and Sam gives an overdue apology for making fun of the ACA roll out while at The Daily Show.

This week, we’re thrilled to introduce My So-Called Midlife, a new podcast by Reshma Saujani and Lemonada Media. “Is this it?” That’s the question Reshma Saujani, founder of two successful nonprofits, asks herself every day. She’s married to a great guy, raising two beautiful kids, and has achieved everything she thought she wanted—so why does midlife feel so… unfulfilling? Determined to find answers, and with her group chat cheering her on, Reshma’s bringing in reinforcements. In My So-Called Midlife, she sits down with brilliant minds like Chelsea Clinton, Emily Oster, Cheryl Strayed, and more to explore how we can stop simply surviving this phase of life and start truly living it. In today’s episode, Reshma chats with her friend, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, about how to stay present while balancing kids, a marriage and the highest of high-pressure jobs in the world.
