(00:00:00) Prologue: Rick Cole, a city councilmember in Pasadena,
CA, talks to Ira about how he responded to a surprise nighttime
military exercise in his neighborhood this June – complete with
helicopters, gunfire, and flash bangs. (5 minutes)

(00:05:30) Act One: A doctor trained as a midwife tells the
eye-popping story of how she and others came together to save a
baby during a birth that suddenly went wrong, in a part of rural
Maine where the local labor and delivery unit had closed less
than a month before. (26 minutes)

(00:34:56) Act Two: Producer Valerie Kipnis never felt inside the
jokes and stories her family would tell about growing up in
the Soviet Union, until she saw this year's Oscar-winning
documentary, Mr. Nobody Against Putin. The film follows the
changes unfolding in one school as Russia rolled out a nationwide
propaganda push after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Valerie
interviewed the young teacher at the center of the
documentary and learned things that never made it into the
film. (21 minutes)
