  • So many tears

    I didn’t count how many guests teared up in this show. I remember being shocked about the questions in the Mme Pelicot interview, and her crying then. Brutal, I thought.

  • The Scott Pelley interview

    Putting legacy journalism and Scott’s firing aside, is the CBS news team’s gutting experience qualitatively any different from what many of us have experienced in our own work lives? The layoffs sound identical to the two team layoffs that I’ve experienced after having survived many, many “restructurings”: New management with zero shared history and no sense of loyalty to the acquired team; cold dispassionate language - usually in the presence of HR for legal reasons - announcing the “termin... more

  • Excellent Scott Pelley Interview

    Lulu is one of the best interviewers ever. Her probing questions, pushes and follow ups aim to create a balanced, nuanced, fair interview that goes beyond what you typically see in news. This interview w Mr Pelley was so compelling. Thank you for this…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scott Pelley on His Firing and the ‘Massacre’ at ’60 Minutes’
Q: What did the staff hope would happen after your meeting with leadership, and why did you want to stay at 60 Minutes?
The staff wanted accountability and a clear explanation of the changes being made, with assurances that the show's standards would be preserved. I wanted to stay because I believed in the broadcast and hoped leadership would commit to repairing trust and restoring balance in coverage.
Scott Pelley on His Firing and the ‘Massacre’ at ’60 Minutes’
Q: Did you expect to be fired after so many others were let go, and what led you to speak up at the meeting with the new leadership?
I did not expect to be fired; I came to the meeting hoping for explanations and to defend the staff and the broadcast. When I saw the level of disconnection and the disregard for the staff's work and history, I felt compelled to push back publicly to defend the integrity of the program.
Scott Pelley on His Firing and the ‘Massacre’ at ’60 Minutes’
Q: You accused Barry Weiss of wanting to murder the show and dismantle the institution. What did you mean by that, and why did you use such strong language?
I meant that the goal was systemic change in a way that would strip 60 Minutes of its core identity and editorial independence, a fear magnified by the rapid firing of many longtime colleagues and the perceived pressure to fit a preferred narrative. The language reflected the scale and immediacy of what I saw as an existential threat to the program.
Want to ‘Optimize’ Your Happiness? This Happiness Expert Says: Don’t.
Q: Is happiness something we can learn to cultivate, or is it mostly predetermined?
Santos explains that while there is a genetic component, a large portion of happiness is under conscious control and can be cultivated through habits like nurturing social connections and pursuing eudaimonic activities.
Nicolas Cage Made Himself a Legend. Then He Had to Live With It.
Q: One of the rapid-fire questions asked about the 'Vampire's Kiss' yogurt scene—how much of that is real versus scripted?
It was real, though the exact setup around the yogurt involved improvisation and pushing boundaries to achieve the moment, and many details are true parts of the story.
