Laura Grant is an Assistant Professor at Claremont McKenna College where she teaches Intermediate Microeconomics and Public Economics. Since the change on Sunday (11/05/17), when we moved our clocks an hour back, you may have noticed that your drive into work is a little bit brighter, and your drive home is a little bit darker. Or, if you forgot, you may have been an hour early to a few things! On Sunday we switched into daylight saving time and Laura Grant discusses her research on if daylight saving time is worth the trouble.

Rick Eckstein is a professor of sociology at Villanova University and the author of three books, most recently How College Athletics are Hurting Girls' Sports: The Pay to Play Pipeline. His current work on college athletics, youth sports, and gender has been featured in dozens of media outlets across the country.  The nation was shocked when the US Men’s national soccer team lost against Trinidad and Tobago, and as a result, failed to qualify in the 2018 World Cup.

Rick Eckstein is here today with us to share why American youth soccer needs to be fixed and what can be done about it.
