Cyberattack We’re Not Ready is a must listen
I just started Ben’s book (This is the Plan) and I’m even more excited to really dig in. It’s the direction and explanation we’ve needed to give average Democrats and voters of all parties some belief that we can break out of this altered universe. Thank you, Kara, for pulling out specific examples of the plan from Ben to spark others to take a deep dive and—more importantly—to take action. Much better than the typical response of “read it in my book”.
Great interview.
Consistently high quality interviews with knowledgeable guests. Kara is an accomplished journalist with expressed ethics and extensive contacts. Her direct, open, switched on and bs free style is refreshing. Thanks Kara for all that you do.
I value the well reported material, but must caution about “Wellness Grifters” episode. Dr. Topol may be right to praise AI that exists now, but praising AI that does not yet exist is as foolish as taking peptides that have not been proven effective.
Word salad at its worst.
