Xanax Recall, Yale’s College Crisis, NBA Players’ Podcast Boom

This episode of Filtered with TJ Walker examines three revealing stories about trust, institutions, and personal leverage. First, a nationwide Xanax recall raises questions about drug safety and America’s dependence on pharmaceutical quick fixes. Next, a Yale report argues that colleges themselves helped destroy public trust in higher education through high costs, opaque admissions, and prestige-driven behavior. Finally, TJ explores why NBA players are launching podcasts in huge numbers and how athlete-controlled media may outlast athletic careers themselves. It’s a sharp look at health, higher education, and sports through the lens of communication, incentives, and long-term influence.
