Stuck in the middle with you
 
If you feel like you don't quite fit with the label of Democrat or Republican, you're not alone. According to a Pew Research study, Americans are increasingly sheepish about putting just one political label on themselves, especially as the positions become more and more extreme on both sides of the spectrum.

Don't blink! Or actually… maybe blink a little more?

New research from the University of Utah Health says we're not blinking enough, and it's largely thanks to our increased screen time. Greg doesn't quite buy it, but Holly totally does. They share their thoughts and talk about the 20-20-20 rule told to them by producer Andy: every 20 minutes, take 20 seconds to stare at something 20 feet away.

America250: Patriotism vs. Nationalism

This land was made for you and me. As we move towards our nation's 250th birthday, we're taking time to look closely at our country's identity. In this segment, Greg and Holly talk about democracy, patriotism, and nationalism. A lot of the time these days, nationalism and patriotism are mixed. But that's not always a good thing -- it's led many people to harbor some deep-seated negative feelings towards our country. Inside Sources takes a more 'meta' approach to the whole thing.

How childhood summer experiences can influence adulthood

As you look back on your childhood and the summers you experienced as a kid, do you remember the things you did? Do you remember the things you learned?

Greg and Holly reminisce about their own summers as kids.

The potential influence of higher inflation on the ongoing midterm elections

We've been talking about inflation going up and the higher cost of everything making it harder and harder on everyday Americans. And with the midterms well underway -- at least the primaries -- how might this increased inflation affect voters' decisions? Let's break down these new inflation numbers and their effects with our friend Robert Spendlove, senior economist at Zions Bank.
