Jessica Grose on Education, Culture, and Institutional Distrust

Jessica Grose is an opinion writer for The New York Times. She is known for writing about issues related to education and culture, such as how the pandemic has affected schools in the long run, or what has been causing declining fertility rates.

In this episode, I got a chance to talk to her about the current baseline quality of US education, the increase in distrust towards societal institutions, and what the 2024 election results say about our culture.
