  • Too many ads & AI

    Too many ads extends the short episodes. Topics recently have only covered AI. Supporting Flock cameras is disappointing

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Two wars, no clear exit plan. Now what? | Ian Bremmer
Q: Should the American people be worried about a broader escalation or a more constrained conflict?
He argues for transparency after the fact rather than open candor during negotiations, emphasizing accountability and the need for a clear war aim while acknowledging the political constraints facing the president.
Two wars, no clear exit plan. Now what? | Ian Bremmer
Q: So where do you think we go from this uncomfortable middle ground? Do you see escalation or de-escalation on the horizon?
Bremmer outlines three main paths: Gulf States negotiating a separate deal, renewed direct talks with Iran, or a measured military escalation; none are likely to reopen the Strait immediately, but all imply different trade-offs in oil prices and regional stability.
Sunday Pick: The Office’s Rainn Wilson on meaning and happiness | ReThinking with Adam Grant
Q: One is, you achieved success a lot later in life than many people in your industry do. How old were you when you were cast as Dwight?
Rainn Wilson was 38 when he landed Dwight, and he describes how fame arrived in his 40s after years of struggle, which gave him a grounded appreciation for the moment and the work.
The power of imagination — onstage and off | Suki Hillier
Q: What do you do backstage to prepare to become Matilda?
She shares a routine of meditating on Matilda's life and her own preparation to transform from Suki to Matilda right before stepping onto the stage.
The power of imagination — onstage and off | Suki Hillier
Q: How do you learn to act out experiences you've never had?
