Platypus Economics with Justin Wolfers · How SNAP's New Rules Make Eligible Families Go Hungry | The Professor Is In · 1 Aug 2026 podcast

I'm Megan Connors.

Last week, you released a video about what you called the biggest economic story no one's talking about, and that's the recent cuts and administrative changes to SNAP.

We've got some follow-up questions and comments to discuss today.

And before we start with the questions, I just wanted to see if there was anything that kind of stood out to you in the comments section this week from our audience.

So I think a big takeaway from the episode is that the new system for administering the benefits has become a lot more strict.

And because of that, in many states, it's caused many more people than were even intended to lose their benefits, people that should qualify for them even under the new rules.
