This week, something momentous happened. Whether or not it made the textbooks, it most certainly made history. Join the HISTORY This Week podcast as we turn back the clock to meet the people, visit the places and witness the moments that led us to where we are today.
Robert Krulwich: Think it is. And the story comes to us from a woman named Kelly Benhnam. She's a reporter for the Tampa Bay Times in Florida. Maybe the way to do this chronologically, just sort of across time, where were you and who, what did you want to do?
Where is this week’s Podcast
Kelly Benham: Yeah, this heartbeat pops up and then there's the baby and you can see her and she looks fine. She's totally oblivious where she's just right there. So now I thought, "oh my God, I'm going to watch her die. I'm gonna Watch her die in front of me." And then they started just pumping me full of drugs to try to get this labor stopped. There's this drug called magnesium sulfate and one of the effects of it is it just makes you kind of boil from the inside.
Jad Abumrad: And here's where you get to the 24 week thing. What ended up happening was that the court considered what was known about fetal development, and there are charts that show this to go like this, three weeks-
Jad Abumrad: Air sacks form in the lungs. And the thinking was maybe that's the point, the minimum point where the fetus is viable because perhaps it could breathe on its own. But this was just a theoretical idea. No one was testing it.
Kelly Benham: And that is because somewhere around the 28th week of gestation, the lungs start to produce a fluid called surfactant, which prevents the lungs from collapsing and sticking together between breaths. So that's a really important thing.
Jad Abumrad: If you'd like to see more of this story that you've been listening to we've actually made a short film which you can find@radiolab.org/23weeks. That's the number 23 radiolab.org/23weeks And I would suggest that you wait until you finish listening though cause the film does contain spoilers.
Jad Abumrad: Keith and his wife, Annie Janvier have done a huge amount of research into the ethics of extremely premature births. But one of the primary reasons we wanted to talk to him is that in addition to being a neonatologist and a guy who publishes a lot of stuff in this area, yeah, he and his recently had a baby girl who was born at 24 weeks and five days.
Jad Abumrad: So he was in his unit into the place where he usually worked. He saw babies make it not make it, and now suddenly he was a parent in that place. And several weeks after his baby was born, there was a very, very big complication.
Kelly Benham: I just didn't really know how to process it. I felt like she was, I just had this very acute sense that she had just been like violently ripped out of my body and I could feel where they had cut her out, you know? And like I just wanted to put her back and make her safe, you know?
Jad Abumrad: So that's where their hospital journey began. But five days later, everything had changed and they find themselves on a different floor of the hospital stranded in this unit that is perhaps more than any other place on earth. The physical embodiment of this limbo, the neonatal intensive unit NICU. Where they just have to wait and hope that that will or whatever it was they saw on [Juniper 00:38:43] takes hold.
In this week's podcast: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lays out a strategy for peace and security; Russia hosts the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit; the Obama administration announces plans to overhaul financial regulation; and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak meets with President Obama in Washington.
Eric also named his podcast, 83 Weeks With Eric Bischoff. Every week he and Conrad Thompson discuss wrestling at great length. Over 200 episodes have been released so far, and fans have learned some very interesting things from this show.
Many fans feel that three weeks of Raw is too tiring. Admittedly, they are correct as the red brand lacks in urgency and tends to spin its wheels. But this wasn't the first time a wrestling show decided to extend to 3-hours.
Back in 1998,WCW made the same decision when they decided to turn Nitro into a 3-hour program. On his podcast, Bischoff explained that this wasn't his idea. It was Brad Siegel's idea that was forced upon him.
"Zoey really does capture the melancholy nature of our generation," Shahidi told Code Switch's Shereen Marisol Meraji in a recent interview for the podcast. She said that she and other members of "Generation Z," (people born in the late nineties and early aughts) have grown up in the throes of what she calls the "24-minute news cycle," where constant, rotating tragedies are almost inescapable. "Feeling as though we don't even choose to intake all of this information, but it just happens. I remember seeing the Philando Castile live stream and not knowing what I was looking at. Somebody had tweeted it and I clicked on it. And just being like, 'Oh, that person is bleeding. Oh wow.'
"And I just remember that moment of freaking out and not knowing what to do and not knowing how to process what's happening...[Zoey] really did capture how a lot of my peers felt, where it's like we're intaking this information at such a fast rate that it's hard to process it."
