FEEDBACK With Dan Holzman (October 15, 2026)

Today on FEEDBACK, a capital punishment expert explains why Christa Pike may ultimately be spared the death penalty following last month’s botched execution in Tennessee. We also examine a controversial airline incident in which a flight attendant refused to help a pregnant passenger lift a heavy carry-on bag into an overhead bin. After hearing about a hairstylist who repeatedly cursed while cutting a customer’s hair, Dan asks: Whatever happened to common decency in public? Listeners weigh in on Pennsylvania’s removal of skill games, the carry-on baggage controversy, dress codes, public decorum, and the announced Social Security increase for 2027. We also discuss President Trump’s decision not to livestream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, hear from a listener who sides with the flight attendant in the baggage dispute, and examine the firing of an Oregon high school football coach who ordered an onside kick while his team led 56–0 in the first half. In the second hour, we revisit these controversies and open the phones to hear listeners’ thoughts on the decision not to livestream Hasan’s execution, whether the Oregon coach deserved to be fired, and the growing acceptance of public profanity. Dan shares his haircut story again and asks when cursing in public became socially acceptable. Plus, singer Harry Styles urges fans to consider the case of an undocumented immigrant with a lengthy criminal record who was shot by ICE agents last week. And PennDOT spokesman Sean Brown joins us to discuss two separate projects planned for Route 422.
