Legislation targeting transgender Americans and trans children has
increased sharply in the last year. Guest host Ari Shapiro speaks
with the Florida mother of a trans daughter about how their family
is coping with that state's new, more restrictive policies. Then,
Ari discusses how this wave of law-making differs from so-called
"moral panics" of past decades — and why that matters — with
historian Jules Gill-Peterson, of Johns Hopkins University.

Then, Broadway is back and bigger than ever, with 16 new shows
opening this month. But this Broadway burst hasn't been immune to
the pandemic. "Macbeth" director Sam Gold talks to Ari about having
to go onstage himself this month, when too many of his cast tested
positive for Covid; and about what feels different as actors and
audiences try to get back to normal.
