If you’ve ever wondered why doing good feels so hard, listen to this hopeful conversation on Immigrantly between Saadia and the co-authors of Somebody Should Do Something from MIT Press.
For Spotly, host Kavitha dives deep into the demand for grass fields at the NFL. Why do 92% of the NFL players prefer grass to turf? Listen to the episode to find out.
And for Love-ly, host Mehak sits down with host of Gent’s Talk Samir Mourani to discuss men’s mental health and emotional healing.

Saadia Khan sits down with philosophers Alex Madva (Cal Poly Pomona) and Michael Brownstein (John Jay College, CUNY), co-authors of Somebody Should Do Something from MIT Press. The episode unpacks the gap between good intentions and meaningful action, exploring why moral inertia is so common, how cynicism can masquerade as realism, and what it really takes to move from awareness to impact.
You can connect with Saadia on X @swkkhan or email her at [email protected] to share your thoughts about the episode.
SPORTLY
When Malik Nabers’ knee buckled at MetLife Stadium, it reignited an old question: Is artificial turf silently destroying NFL careers? In this episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson investigates the ongoing turf-versus-grass debate from Aaron Rodgers’ 2023 Achilles tear on turf to Odell Beckham Jr.’s viral plea to “get rid of the turf.” Kavitha unpacks the NFLPA’s 2023 survey, where 92% of players said they prefer natural grass, and explores why many still believe turf contributes to non-contact injuries even as the NFL’s own 2024 injury data claims little difference between the two.

How Men Heal: Masculinity and Emotional Growth with Samir Mourani (Gent’s Talk)
In this episode of Love-ly, Mehak sits down with Samir Mourani, host of Gent’s Talk, to explore masculinity, men’s mental health, and emotional healing. Samir shares his personal journey breaking the stigma around male vulnerability, how his divorce reshaped his views on manhood, and the role of self-awareness and male friendships in his growth. Together, they unpack how men heal—and how women can support without taking on all the responsibility.
