World News of the Week (WNW) with Maya and Dad
Ten year old Maya and her dad, Jeremy, discuss major news events each week, hoping to inspire other families to discuss the big issues at their dinner tables, on their way to school or, frankly, whenever it works in their busy family lives.
We examine a major event, ask questions of each other and hope to find some answers... and raise more questions!

Two years ago, we covered the bankruptcy of Red Lobster. It is commonly held that Red Lobster went broke due an endless shrimp promotion, but as we learned then, the story is much more complicated. In this episoide, we revisit why Red Lobster actually went broke, but more importantly, we cover how its new CEO, thirty-something Damola Adamolekun, is trying to revive the chain. And, we felt that we had to see the turnaround in person so... we drove to the nearest location, in Hartford, CT, to do in-person research. Part restaurant review and part business story, WNW is deliciously good this week!
