Americaβs death penalty problem
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Today Explainedβs own podcast host.

This episode was produced by Thor Neureiter and Beth Morrissey, with help from Miranda Kennedy and Amina Al-Sadi, engineered by Shannon Mahoney and David Tatasciore, fact checked by Melissa Hirsch, and hosted by Miles Bryan.
