Many brain functions slow down as we age. New research finds some may actually improve (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MARK BRODIE: Lots of our brain functions can slow down as we get older, but new research finds one skill may be exempt from that. Anne Billot is a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital. Her data suggests that language skills stay about the same as we age, while other skills decline. When I spoke with Billot, she told me her findings contradict some of the previous literature on brain aging, specifically in the area of language skills and processing. ANNE BILLOT: S
How this Southwest city is using smart technology to incentivize drivers to slow down (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MARK BRODIE: A New Mexico city is taking a unique approach to trying to get drivers to slow down. Albuquerque has instituted what are called rest-on-red traffic lights at three intersections on a pair of east-west one-way streets. The speed limit on these roadways is 30 mph. The roads have houses on them, as well as a lot of pedestrian and bicycle traffic. My next guest says the city tried a few other things to try to get drivers to obey the speed limit, but they didn't really work. So now offic
Hobbs using nearly $16.5 million in leftover COVID funds to restore cuts to Arizona universities (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gov. Katie Hobbs is using nearly $16.5 million she says she has leftover in COVID-19 funds to restore the funding cuts made earlier this year to state universities.

That plan included a 2.5% across-the-board cut across multiple state agencies, including the universities. But now Hobbs said she has federal dollars left over from
New book explores Tucson's red light districts, which lasted until 1918 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LAUREN GILGER: Red light districts in Tucson stayed in operation for years after they’d been outlawed in other Arizona cities and towns. But as our next guest explains, the women who worked there were still largely marginalized. David Grassé is an Arizona historian and author of the book “Red Light Districts of Tucson: A History, 1870-1918,” which came out earlier this year. He spoke with my co-host Mark Brodie, and they started with what we know about what these areas looked like, or as we migh
California has declared a state of emergency in anticipation of the super El Niño (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MARK BRODIE: California Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in advance of what is expected to be a Super El Niño — bringing heavy rains and flooding. Arizona is also anticipating wetter-than-typical conditions over the next several months. That extra water presents both challenges and opportunities to an area in the midst of ongoing drought. Ian James with the Los Angeles Times joins me to talk more about this. Ian, good morning. MARK BRODIE: Thanks for being here. So do we have
