Tara Brach on dealing with fear and uncertainty
The 7 team is off for Memorial Day so we're bringing you a conversation our colleague Elahe Izadi had recently that we've been thinking about a lot. It digs into how to manage what we can't control as the world can feel increasingly uncertain. I Elahe sat down with Tara Brach, a therapist with a PhD in clinical psychology who has also spent years studying Buddhism and mindfulness. Tara teaches meditation, and she's written several books including one called 'Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha.' If you're interested in learning more about her work or accessing her podcast and meditations, you can find that here. This episode was produced by Emma Talkoff and mixed by Sam Bair.

How to reverse an opioid overdose
Narcan is a medication that can save someone's life by reversing the effects of an opioid overdose. (Michael S. Williamson/The Washington Post) In recent years naloxone, a medication that reverses opioid overdoses, has become more widely available in the United States. Narcan, a nasal spray version of naloxone, became available without prescription in pharmacies in 2023. That means more people can help reverse overdoses. Despite showing signs of decline, the number of people dying nationwide from overdoses eclipsed 100,000 annually from 2020 to 2023, according to national health data. Host Elahe Izadi talks with producer Elana Gordon about the lifesaving effects of the medication. They walk through the steps of how to use Narcan and what it feels like to experience an opioid overdose reversal. Today's show was produced by Ariel Plotnick. It was edited by Lucy Perkins with help from Alison MacAdam and mixed by Sam Bair. Download The Post's step-by-step guide for how to administer the naloxone nasal spray here.

Crowded airspace and D.C.'s deadly plane crash
Emergency response units from Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., search the crash site on the Potomac River on Jan. 30. (Astrid Riecken/The Washington Post) On Wednesday night, an American Airlines plane and an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided in midair near Reagan National Airport. Both aircraft crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. D.C. officials believe the three soldiers in the helicopter and all 64 passengers and crew aboard the airplane were killed. Today on 'Post Reports,' host Elahe Izadi and transportation reporter Lori Aratani break down what we know about the collision, the close calls faced around Reagan National Airport in the recent past, and President Donald Trump's baseless claims that diversity, equity and inclusion programs within the Federal Aviation Administration were to blame for the crash. Today's show was produced by Bishop Sand and Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was mixed by Sam Bair and edited by Reena Flores.
