In loving memory of Gloria Steinem, March 25, 1934 – September 2, 2026 

Originally aired August 19, 2025 

Feminist icon, journalist, and Ms. Magazine co-founder Gloria Steinem spent nearly a century making life more fair — and she never stopped. In this intimate conversation recorded before her passing, Gloria opens up about the moments that defined her life, from an unconventional childhood to the 1963 March on Washington, and how each shaped her lifelong fight for equality. 

With her closest collaborator and friend Amy Richards, Gloria joins hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger in a conversation we are honored to share with the world now more than ever. 

Together, they reveal how: 
Hope isn't wishful thinking — it's a plan for change 
Your enemies say as much about your values as your friends do 
Diversity is a gift, not an obligation

Gloria Steinem Plus One: How Change Really Happens

Originally aired April 14

Dr. Gabor Maté is one of the world's most transformative voices on trauma, addiction, and healing. He’s a physician, international bestselling author, and the man who has trained more than 4,000 healthcare providers across 110 countries to understand what the medical system too often ignores. 

In this extraordinary solo conversation with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger, Dr. Maté challenges everything we think we know about why we suffer and how we heal. 

Together, they explore how: 
Trauma isn't what happened to you — it's the wound you're still carrying 
Your body keeps a score your mind tries to ignore 
Addiction isn't a moral failure — it's an attempt to escape emotional pain 
The people closest to you trigger you most because your deepest wounds live there 
You are not broken — you are whole, with something to heal

Dr. Gabor Maté: Why Your Body Keeps the Score 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/0a47d9b2-c6fb-4295-bdd4-b4b2016ac085/transcript

Dr. James Gordon — Harvard-trained psychiatrist, founder of the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, and author of Transforming Trauma — has spent 50 years healing people in places most of us can't imagine: war zones, school shooting sites, and communities torn apart by violence. He was also there on the Mall in 1963, when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his I Have a Dream speech — and that sense of what's possible has never left him.  

He joins hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger alongside his godson Matt Lombard — a man whose life Jim helped hold together after losing his mother at age 11.  

Together, they reveal how: 
Trauma is a wound that can become a doorway to growth 
Unresolved trauma changes your DNA and can be passed down three generations 
The belief that you can't heal is the only thing standing between you and healing 
Forgiveness isn't for the other person — it's how you stop carrying what's not yours 
Soft belly breathing and dancing are two science-backed tools you can start today
