New AARP research shows nearly one in ten adults age 50 and older have been targeted by an online romantic connection who asked for money or promoted a cryptocurrency investment, putting more than 11 million older adults at risk.  To talk with us about this, I’m joined by Amy Nofziger, Senior Director of Fraud Victim Support, AARP.

Next, nearly 1 in 4 Americans have no emergency savings and would struggle to cover an unexpected expense, according to Bankrate. 50% of consumers said their top New Year’s resolution is to save more money.  To talk about this and to offer smarter ways to save to help people reach their financial goals, I’m joined by Rod Griffin, Senior Director of Consumer Education and Advocacy at Experian.

While religion is generally declining in the U.S., a new Pew Research Center analysis from the Pew-Knight Initiative Research Report has examined the current impact of religious radio on American listeners.  To talk about the results of the survey and impact of religious broadcasting on our country, we’re joined today by one of the survey’s authors, Aaron Smith of Pew Research.

And then, according to a new survey commissioned by the Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association (PPTA), 72% of people agree plasma donation is important, 79% of people have never donated plasma. This isn’t just an oversight; it’s a critical gap in understanding that can have major consequences for patients.  It can take 1,200 plasma donations to treat one person dealing with hemophilia – yet a lack of awareness of the impact of plasma donation is leading to a lack of donations.  To talk with us about this, we’re joined by Dr. Michael Keller, pediatric immunologist at Children’s National in Washington, D.C.

Colorectal cancer is now diagnosed more often in adults younger than 50, and experts say symptoms are frequently overlooked or dismissed. Screening can help find cancer sooner or even prevent it, and experts say persistent symptoms should always be checked, no matter your age. Most people should begin screening at age 45, though some may need to start earlier, depending on individual risk.  To talk about this, we’re joined by Dr. Paula Denoya, MD, an expert fellow from the American College of Surgeons.
