  • The Strait of Hormuz is open, what risks remain?

    The Strait of Hormuz is open, what risks remain?
    Apr 17 2026
    The Strait of Hormuz is one of the global economy’s major arteries. It had been closed to most commercial traffic for about 6 weeks up to today.


    The reopening is good news for hundreds of ships that have been stuck.

    But questions remain about the safety of the passage. Questions, like how many underwater mines are still out there? Or what happens if the ceasefire falls apart?

    And those questions are crucial for the people who insure these vessels.

    Hundreds of ships have been stuck in the Strait of Hormuz for weeks. Even though it’s now open, safety concerns remain.

    Unease is growing in the military. The Iran war made it worse
    Apr 15 2026

    Unease is growing in the ranks of the US military.

    Since President Trump began his second term, his controversial use of the armed forces both at home and abroad has left some service members unsettled and demoralized.

    The Iran war made those feelings worse.

  • Intimacy coordinators embrace their next chapter in Hollywood

    Intimacy coordinators embrace their next chapter in Hollywood
    Apr 16 2026
    Almost a decade after the height of the #MeToo movement, intimacy coordinators are a fixture on film sets. As of this year, the job is now covered by SAG-AFTRA, the labor union that represents actors.


    Their growing presence on set has led to more demand for intimacy coordinator training programs. NPR visited one of those programs in downtown Los Angeles, and met an assistant director and a porn actor both training for the job.
