Segment 1, beginning at 1:00: The Police Scorecard ranked the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department 495 out of 500 departments across America.
Much of the information from the review had to be collected through publicly available information on individual departments. When it came to collecting data on over 16,000 law enforcement agencies Samuel Sinyangwe says, "the federal government could tell you how much rainfall there was in rural Oklahoma going back almost a hundred years, but they couldn't tell you how many people were killed by the police last year or the year before that."

Segment 2, beginning at 27:02: NPR is celebrating its 50th birthday this year and much of the organization's early success can be attributed to four groundbreaking women.
Susan, Linda, Nina and Cokie are the names of the four women credited as "the founding mothers of NPR." The history of these award-winning journalists dates back to the inception of National Public Radio. "It is really a kismet story of timing and of all these terrific personalities who were there at the beginning of public radio," says author Lisa Napoli.
