This week the EPA released new rules for vehicle emissions, which will push the auto industry to speed up the transition to electric vehicles. It's expected that electric vehicles will make up over 50% of new cars by 2032. For now EVs account for less than 10% of vehicle sales and drivers still have lots of questions about them and how they really affect the environment. We asked The Sunday Story listeners to share their questions about EVs and the response was overwhelming. So to answer those many questions, host Ayesha Rascoe turns to NPR's business desk correspondent, Camila Domonoske, who covers cars and energy.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Barbenheimer was the summer blockbuster phenomenon of 2023 around the movies Barbie and Oppenheimer. Both movies made a box office splash and now Oppenheimer is leading in the Oscar nominations race with 13 nods. But there are plenty of lesser known films in the running, including three primarily in a foreign language, vying for best picture. To help understand which films and stars are the favorites to win we are joined this week by Pop Culture Happy Hour hosts Aisha Harris and Linda Holmes.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

love the podcast but the pronunciation of Gaza by Jane Arraf bothers me. I know they probably have a justification and have spent tons of time in and around the country, but can't help but hear a very American pronunciation that refuses to bend or adapt to other cultures.

i hope people wise up & stop donating to RNC. They are just filling Trump's pockets with money for his debt. Early rigged voting for Republicans? That's the only way Trump will win. The majority of people who know the Trumps hate them! Nasty people.

How pathetic is this kind of news! Why you didn't cover Israeli rape, sexual assaults and harassments in Gaza? Wasn't it a UN report either?

Great coverage of this topic, providing context for % uncommitted votes in previous primary elections. This compromise of Biden at risk of allowing Trump to win is maddening for me ( way to high cost for sending message of discontent to Biden!) The efforts in Michigan to get Dems to vote uncommitted deepen my commitment to support Biden. I'll be doing even more than I intended to get out the vote for Biden, given awareness of how internal Dem divisions could give election to Trump.

And so do these people think that Trump will do better? because if they don't support Biden then they are supporting Trump.

Let's be real: in the case of the girl dying after surgery, the hospital straight up MURDERED that girl! A 1st-year resident could've figured out her breathing wasn't normal, let alone this so-called "trained" medical staff. The second tragedy was her own father who felt so much shame and guilt over not stepping in sooner that he quit medicine himself--no, it's THOSE medical "professionals" who should've been FIRED and FINED--you should've soldiered on in your daughter's name and done more good.
