Why We Hate
From bullying to hate crimes, cruelty is all around us. So what makes us hate? And is it learned or innate? This hour, TED speakers explore the causes and consequences of hate — and how we can fight it. Guests include reformed white nationalist Christian Picciolini, CNN commentator Sally Kohn, podcast host Dylan Marron, and writer Anand Giridharadas.
Word Up
Since 1992, the study known as "The 30 Million Word Gap" has, with unusual power, shaped the way educators, parents and policymakers think about educating poor children. NPR education correspondent Anya Kamenetz joins us to talk about what it gets right, and what it misses.
Networks
Networks surround and sustain us, in nature, in our bodies, in relationships, in the digital world. This hour, TED speakers explore how we rely on networks and how we have the power to shape them. Guests include ecologist Suzanne Simard, UPS executive Wanis Kabbaj, computer scientist Avi Rubin and anthropologist Robin Dunbar. (Original broadcast date: January 13, 2017)
Code Switch's Summer Vacation
We're going on a trip, and we're taking you with us! From the peak of Mount Denali to the beaches of Queens, we're talking camp, suntans and our favorite summer jams.
Hidden Potential
Are grit and perseverance enough to succeed? Or does someone need to give you a chance? This hour, TED speakers explore why some are overlooked despite their talents, and how that can begin to change. Guests include recovering politician Jeff Smith, human resources expert Regina Hartley, sociologist Victor Rios, arts curator and activist Malika Whitley, and middle school principal Pearl Arredondo.
Immigration Nation
Anti-immigrant sentiment is on the rise, and the prospect of mass deportation is in the news. But as much as this seems like a unique moment in history, in many ways, it's history repeating itself.
Tolerancia cero
El pasado 20 de junio, después de duras críticas, el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, firmó una orden ejecutiva que supuestamente frena la práctica de separar niños de sus padres en la frontera. Pero ya son más de 2.300 niños separados, sin plan para reunirlos con sus familias. ¿Qué pasó? ¿Y por qué?
Anthropocene
Some scientists say we're in a new geological age where humans are having an unprecedented impact on Earth. This hour, TED speakers ask what this means for the future of our planet, and our species. Guests include paleontologists Kenneth Lacovara and Peter Ward, environmental writer Emma Marris, and biodiversity archivist Cary Fowler. (Original broadcast date: September 30, 2016.)
Looking For Marriage In All The Wrong Places

Para Santiago Rocagliolo, quizá lo más complicado ha sido darse cuenta lo similares que son él y su hijo, y saber que, debido a esto, el futuro traerá consigo varios retos inevitables. ¿Preparas a tu hijo para esos momentos difíciles, le adviertes, o simplemente dejas que él mismo encuentre su camino?
