06/14/2026: Here Come the Humanoids, The Empty Rooms, Lamine Yamal
For decades, engineers have been trying to create robots that look and move like humans, and now breakthroughs in AI are giving humanoid robots a new ability to acquire skills through learning. At Hyundai’s new auto plant near Savannah, Georgia, correspondent Bill Whitaker watches as Boston Dynamics’ humanoid, AI-powered robot Atlas learns to perform factory work in a real-world setting for the first time. Marc Lieberman is the producer.

Correspondent Anderson Cooper visits these spaces and speaks with the parents about their significance. Katie Brennan is the producer.

06/07/2026: Under Siege, Turning The Ship Around, The Dog Aging Project
Federal judges are under threat as never before. A 60 MINUTES investigation found that judges who have ruled against the Trump administration have become top targets. 60 MINUTES spoke with 26 federal judges – 9 Democratic appointees and 17 Republican, both sitting and retired. As Bill Whitaker reports, the sitting judges tell 60 MINUTES they feel under siege – and fear for their safety and for the future of the country. Heather Abbott is the producer. Shipbuilding in the United States has been decimated over the decades by shortsighted policies and neglect. Today, the U.S. builds about three large commercial cargo ships a year while China rolls out around 1,000. The Trump administration has called this a national security crisis and is making it a priority to revive the American shipbuilding industry. One solution comes from our ally, South Korea. Hanwha, the Korean ship-making giant, is hoping to help resurrect the industry in the U.S. by buying and reviving the Philadelphia shipyard. Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports from Hanwha’s shipyards in Korea and Philadelphia. Shachar Bar-On and Jinsol Jung are the producers. Progress in treating diseases of aging like Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia has been difficult. A new research project finds dogs could help change that. Scientists are discovering the biology of aging in our canine companions has striking parallels to human aging. Our dogs develop many of the same diseases we do and have remarkably similar brain structures. Correspondent Anderson Cooper reports on the Dog Aging Project, a community initiative collecting data on more than 50,000 dogs across the country in hopes of revealing pathways to help humans and our four-legged friends live longer, healthier lives. Denise Schrier Cetta is the producer.

05/31/2026: Germany Rearms, Freezing the Biological Clock
Germany is racing to rearm as the war in Ukraine shakes its sense of security, forcing the country to confront its military past as it strengthens its military might. Correspondent Bill Whitaker observes basic training in northwest Germany and speaks with defense minister Boris Pistorius in Berlin to find out how Germany plans to achieve its aim of building the most powerful armed forces in Europe. Fertility rates in the United States are currently near historic lows, largely because fewer women are having children in their 20s. As women delay starting families, many are opting for egg freezing, the process of retrieving and freezing unfertilized eggs, to preserve their fertility for the future. Does egg freezing provide women with a way to pause their biological clock? Correspondent Lesley Stahl interviews women who have decided to freeze their eggs and explores what the process entails physically, emotionally and financially. She also speaks with fertility specialists and an ethicist about success rates, equity issues and the increasing market potential of egg freezing.

05/24/2026: Booms, Busts and Bubbles, Sculpting Evolution, The Payam Method
With the stock market holding steady and even soaring despite worries of war and an AI bubble, correspondent Lesley Stahl speaks with Andrew Ross Sorkin – one of the most trusted financial reporters of our time – about his book 1929, which examines the market crash a century ago, to explore whether history is about to repeat itself. Researchers on Nantucket are attempting something unprecedented: using genetic engineering to curb Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness spreading across the U.S. Instead of targeting deer or ticks, they hope to release genetically altered wild mice that are immune to Lyme disease and thereby reduce its transmission. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook visits the island to meet the scientists and hear how their first-of-its-kind approach could reshape the future of disease prevention. A 32-year-old son of Iranian immigrants is transforming traditional scales and sheet music into a teaching method that has students loving their piano lessons – and sweeping national competitions.

05/17/2026: Betting on War, The Knowledge, Christopher Nolan
Last month a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier was indicted for using classified intelligence to make bets online. It comes as online prediction markets have exploded in popularity. The war in Iran and capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro have revealed suspiciously-timed bets on when an attack might happen, even the fate of world leaders. Correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on the phenomenon of betting on war and the creation of a whole new category of insider trading. As tech companies promise that AI-powered autonomous vehicles will transform transportation, correspondent Anderson Cooper takes a ride down the ancient roads and medieval alleyways of London in the iconic black cab. London’s black cab industry still relies on a 161-year-old test called “the Knowledge”, requiring prospective cabbies to memorize thousands of London's landmarks and the shortest routes between them all. Cooper reports on this legacy institution and why London cab drivers aren’t about to hand over their keys to big tech. Legendary Hollywood director Christopher Nolan, whose blockbuster films have earned 18 Academy Awards, meets with correspondent Scott Pelley ahead of the release of his highly-anticipated adaption of Homer’s classic, “The Odyssey”. Pelley interviews Nolan and those who know him best about his filmmaking at a young age, his trademarks, and his most ambitious project yet.

05/10/2026: Prime Minister Netanyahu, Drawing the Lines, Gout Gout
In his first U.S. broadcast television interview since the war with Iran began, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks with CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett about the conflicts in the Middle East, the prospects for a peace deal, and what he told President Trump in the Situation Room of the White House prior to the president’s decision to launch strikes against Iran. Protests broke out last week in statehouses across the nation, where political mapmakers from both parties have been re-drawing the lines for political advantage ahead of this fall's congressional midterm elections. Adding fuel to the fire: a Supreme Court decision that clears the way for Louisiana to redraw its congressional maps, and weakens the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act. In his first television interview since that ruling, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry (R) speaks with correspondent Cecilia Vega about his decision to declare a state of emergency and suspend the state's House primaries until new district maps are drawn. Vega also visits Shreveport, LA to interview Rep. Cleo Fields (D-LA), whose Sixth Congressional District may be fundamentally altered. After setting a new world record for his age group and surpassing Usain Bolt’s teenage records, 18-year-old sprinting phenom Gout Gout is setting a new pace in sprinting. Correspondent Jon Wertheim meets the overnight sensation in his hometown of Brisbane, Australia, as he looks ahead to becoming a force at future Olympic Games.

05/03/2026: Disaster Tourists, Birds of War, Perfume Capital of the World
Often following natural disasters, conspiracists, militias, and white supremacist groups sweep in to hard-hit communities offering help. But they’ve been called “disaster tourists,” out to soften their image, gain followers and sow doubt in the government. Correspondent Lesley Stahl speaks with law enforcement and a self-proclaimed white nationalist to explore whether this is becoming “the new normal". From the dense jungle in the mountains of western Colombia, correspondent Anderson Cooper reports on how decades of armed conflict between the Colombian government and left-wing guerrillas, right-wing paramilitaries, and narco-traffickers created “no-go” areas where rare species of birds flourish. Correspondent Cecilia Vega reports from Grasse in the south of France where flowers for the world’s most famous perfume have been grown and gathered for more than one hundred years. In the early 1900s, Grasse was home to more than 10,000 acres of flower fields; today it’s just over 100.

04/26/2026: Shots Fired, Ben Sasse, The Pigeon Mafia
After law enforcement officers halted a gunman from rushing the Washington Hilton ballroom where President Trump, members of the cabinet, congressional leaders and journalists convened to celebrate the First Amendment and White House correspondents, President Donald J. Trump speaks with Norah O'Donnell in a broadcast exclusive about the experience and what it signals about the state of the country. O’Donnell meets Mr. Trump at the White House for an in-depth conversation. Former Senator Ben Sasse, a conservative Republican from Nebraska – and once among the most popular politicians in the state – speaks with correspondent Scott Pelley about his battle with pancreatic cancer and his hopes for what America can be. Reflecting on politics, community, technology, and faith, Sasse offers meaningful lessons from his own life in hopes of building a better tomorrow. What Kentucky is to thoroughbred horses, Belgium is to elite racing pigeons. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi reports as prizes in international competitions have climbed into the millions, the best birds have become targets for organized crime. Insiders call the network of break-in artists and smugglers “the pigeon mafia.” To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
