About this listen

Ten year old Maya and her dad, Jeremy, discuss major news events each week, hoping to inspire other families to discuss the big issues at their dinner tables, on their way to school or, frankly, whenever it works in their busy family lives.

We examine a major event, ask questions of each other and hope to find some answers... and raise more questions!

    What Just Happened in Venezuela?
    Jan 3 2026

    This morning, we woke up to the news that United States had invaded and forced regime change in... Venezuela? Who is Nicolas Maduro? Why was Donald Trump so threatened by him that he needed to use military force to arrest/depose him? Was any of this legal or necessary? What are the ripple effects? Where do Venezuela and the US go from here? We discuss all of this today on the first WNW of the new year! Enjoy!
