Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 9.2k ratings
  • Bill Gates Interview

    Why is NPR platforming a man who was friends with and a client of Epstein, who also snuck his wife STD medication? NPR embodies the corporatist DNC, and serves the important role of whitewashing the ills of the ruling capitalist class.

  • Trashy story about Hollywood

    I don’t think the details associated with “intimacy coaches” and their methods for Hollywood actors making R rated movie scenes qualifies as beneficial reporting.

    There are better elements of culture to highlight.

    This is the same NPR that begged for donations after federal funding was pulled.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How companies use personal data to control what products and price tags we see.
Q: How widespread do you think this kind of surveillance pricing is?
Owens points to several industry examples and notes that while some price differentiation is not universal, it's becoming more common as companies experiment with location-based and purchase-history-based pricing.
How companies use personal data to control what products and price tags we see.
Q: Do we have any idea why Amazon would be choosing to make this information available for us to see for ourselves? Like, why share it with us?
Owens explains that giving consumers access helps improve the algorithm and invites participation to ensure data accuracy, while also normalizing the idea that pricing and recommendations are personalized rather than entirely opaque.
Inflation is ticking up. What does it mean for the economy?
Q: What could derail inflation from becoming persistent, and what should people watch for?
Key signs include a cooling in services inflation and a stabilization in demand versus supply constraints; central bank independence and keeping policy aligned with data are crucial to prevent inflation from re-accelerating.
Inflation is ticking up. What does it mean for the economy?
Q: What is your initial reaction to the 3.7% inflation number?
The rise is notable but not entirely surprising given ongoing cost pressures; the broader inflation story depends on whether the uptick is temporary or signals more persistent demand-pull pressures.
Trump waives Russia sanctions. Where does that leave Congress?
Q: So what happens now? Does Congress have any recourse here?
The guest explains that Congress has limited options because the president can waive the sanctions with a national security justification, and Congress will be out of session for weeks, making immediate opposition difficult. When they return, they may revisit the issue, but significant curb of the waiver is unlikely in the near term given competing priorities and the political calendar.
