  • 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.

As the climate changes, is the deadly flooding in Nepal a sign of things to come?
Q: So, the way I understand it, this flooding, it came from a glacier, right, that collapsed. Is that correct?
Yes, preliminary reports point to a glacier collapse triggering a massive debris flow that rippled down the Himalayan river valley, devastating villages.
Remembering feminist trailblazer Gloria Steinem
Q: What surprised you the most when you finally met her in person?
I was struck by her hilarity and quick wit, and how she could crack jokes and make you feel at ease, which made the meeting unexpectedly warm and personal despite her monumental public stature.
Can a landmark settlement protect children from social media?
Q: What are the most critical protections to your mind?
AG Weiser describes implementing quiet periods, no notifications during school hours or late at night, age assurance to prevent underage accounts, and an auditor to enforce compliance, all aimed at improving sleep and focus for youths.
Is President Trump changing the rules-based world order?
Q: Now, you warned that the world's rules-based order is changing. Before we dive into your argument, how would you describe what that world order has looked like and what has been good about it?
Leonard explains that the order rested on a broad set of rules acceptable to major powers and a balance of power that allowed those rules to be enforced, with the US as the main sponsor fostering free trade and open sea lanes.
The world leader saying no to President Trump
Q: Let's start with the Canadian government's decision to reject this deal. Did it surprise you?
Coyne suggests that while not entirely surprising, many people were bewildered by how close Canada came to accepting terms that would constrain its trade sovereignty; ultimately, the decision signals a push to resist US pressure and seek more diversified trade paths.
