In this episode Dr. Ben welcomes Ryan Matta. What if the very agency sworn to protect America’s most vulnerable children became the largest legally protected kidnapping network in the country? For decades, Child Protective Services was sold to the public as a shield for abused and neglected kids. Today, it operates like a ruthless quota-driven machine: incentivized by federal funding under the Adoption and Safe Families Act, empowered by near-unlimited authority, and shielded by secrecy and immunity. Ryan Matta is an investigative journalist uncovering the hidden networks of government-funded child trafficking. His latest documentary “Never in America” pulls back the curtain even more to reveal the unimaginable.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
