Episode Notes

We explore the shift from the Great Resignation to the Big Creation, where millions of Americans have quit their jobs, not just because they are unhappy, but to pursue better opportunities or even start their own businesses. We talk to Jim Garter from Gallup to see what this movement could mean for the future of work in the U.S.

Then, we look at the resurgence of nuclear energy with Marist College Professor Jessica Boscarino. Specifically, the way public support is growing despite the lingering memories of disasters. We dive into the reasons behind supporting nuclear energy and consider whether it can overcome its past and play a role in clean energy.
