About this episode
2022 will go down as the second highest year for mass shootings in the US on record. It’s senseless bloodshed that raises the question every time: are these tragedies preventable? And why can’t we stop this uniquely American problem? Joseph Sakran was 17 when a stray bullet went through his throat and struck him in the left shoulder. He survived and that experience altered the course of his life. He is now a trauma surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, a city that continues to be plagued by shootings. Dr. Sakran joins the show to discuss his own experience and trying to put an end to gun violence.
Also on today's show: actor Matthew McConaughey; Alex Heath, deputy dditor of The Verge; director James Cameron.
