Picture it: The lanai, present day. We're sitting down with a slice of cheesecake and two brilliant guests who have given our favorite show the academic treatment it so richly deserves.This week, we are absolutely thrilled to be joined by authors Taylor Cole Miller and Alfred L. Martin Jr. to discuss their fantastic new book, The Golden Girls: Tales From the Lanai.While we've always known the show was smart, funny, and ahead of its time, Taylor and Alfred have put on their scholarly glasses to explore the deeper layers of what makes The Golden Girls a cultural and social juggernaut. We dive into their book's analysis of the show's treatment of chosen family, its groundbreaking portrayal of women and aging, its nuanced (and sometimes not-so-nuanced) approach to race and LGBTQ+ issues, and its enduring legacy in the 21st century.Join us for a fascinating conversation that goes beyond the witty one-liners to unpack the genius, the politics, and the heart of Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia. It's a chat that proves these four women weren't just comedy icons—they were revolutionaries.BUY THE BOOK: https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/the-golden-girls/9781978836846/Join the GG VIP Club at Patreon.com/GoldenGirlsPodcastWatch video versions of the podcast on YouTube.com/OutonTheLanaiFor more Golden Girls greatness, visit OutOnTheLanai.com and follow us at...instagram.com/OutOnTheLanaiOfficialfacebook.com/GoldenGirlsPodcasttwitter.com/GoldenGirlsPodFOLLOW H.

Bilateral relations between Taiwan and the United States have not always been smooth. Nearly 50 years ago, an American armed serviceman shot and killed a Taiwan counterpart, Liu Ziran -- setting off a series of riots which strained bilateral relations. If you'd never heard about the incident, which took place in 1957, it's time to put on a pair of headphones and take a listen. Hosted by ICRT's Hope Ngo. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
Kohberger Exposed: Apartment Photos, “Hidey Hole” Theory & Thyroid Rx Reveal This complete segment pulls together the newly released visuals and details surrounding Bryan Kohberger—from the stark images of his apartment to a prescription bottle that has ignited fresh debate. We start inside the living space: bare walls, stripped shelves, missing shower curtain, abundant cleaning supplies, and documented blood traces and handprints. With retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, Tony Brueski considers whether the minimalism was style—or a deliberate post-crime scrub-down akin to the reported disassembly and cleaning of Kohberger's vehicle. The conversation stays grounded in what the photos actually show while acknowledging the investigative inferences professionals weigh during a major true crime case. Academic files and graded essays appear routine to a criminology-trained eye, but the personal artifacts stand out—most notably the birthday cards dated just after the murders, including a card from Kohberger's mother that frames him as both the formal academic and the uncontrolled force. Those notes, combined with a self-congratulatory selfie and tight birthday timing, help sketch a portrait of self-image and ritualized thinking without veering into speculation. The segment then addresses the most debated non-paper item: bear spray. Coffindaffer lays out a theory many analysts have floated—the idea of a remote cache or “hidey hole” containing indicia of the crime (garments, knife, reminders), with bear spray serving as practical protection for return trips into wooded areas. The discussion references circuitous travel routes, a shovel with “dirt” comparisons, and why investigators map movements against potential stash sites. The final act is the levothyroxine (thyroxine) prescription seen in the apartment. No one suggests the drug causes violence; millions take it safely. The point is evidentiary: it's notable that a routine thyroid medication is present while other prescriptions one might expect—given public claims of ASD, OCD, ADHD, and ARFID—were not documented in this search. That absence raises procedural questions for both sides: who prescribed the thyroid med, for how long, was he adherent, did he travel with a second bottle, and what—if anything—was in his “go bag”? Coffindaffer explains why defense teams probe medication timelines, how adherence can affect energy and appetite, and why establishing what was (and wasn't) in his possession matters for narrative and strategy. Presented in a serious, cinematic true crime news style, this is a comprehensive, fact-forward recap designed to keep you fully informed without sensationalism.

What if choosing between language and executive functioning for your students wasn't an "either/or" decision? And how can we effectively balance academic content with broader cognitive skills? It's a complex challenge, and the answer isn't always obvious.In this episode, I share commentary and a clip of my conversation with Jill Fahy, where we discuss the impact of executive functioning skills on the college experience. Jill is a licensed speech-language pathologist and professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Eastern Illinois University. She is also the co-director of the Autism Center and Director of the Students with Autism Transitional Education Program, where she develops and delivers transitional programming in social skills and executive functions for college students. In this episode, you'll discover:✅ Should we work on language or executive functioning first? The answer isn't straightforward.✅ Balancing academic content areas and broader cognitive skills: Why both parents and professionals need to learn about executive functioning as it relates to their context. ✅ Educating the public on cognition and evidence-based practices, and why it's so easy for vulnerable individuals to grasp on to pseudoscience. ✅ How to use “asset stacking” to address the need to work on multiple interconnected areas at once (e.g., content area skills, language, cognition).You can connect with Jill via email at jkfahy@eiu.edu.

In this episode, Nicole Eadie and Daniel Moore speak with Jefa Greenaway, founding Director of Greenaway Architects. With over three decades of experience championing Indigenous-led design, Jefa has shaped some of Australia's most significant projects and co-authored the International Indigenous Design Charter, a landmark framework for equity and Country-centred design. Our conversation explores what Indigenous design equity means in practice and how it can shape the built environment with authenticity and respect for Country. Jefa reflects on his leadership roles across cultural, educational, and infrastructure projects, including the North East Link, the UTS National First Nations College, and the Koorie Heritage Trust, and shares insights on the responsibilities of collaboration, competition procurement, and the growing call for Indigenous representation in public tenders. He discusses the challenges of cultural load, the risks of tokenism, and the importance of shifting beyond decorative stereotypes towards genuine co-design that meets the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Jefa's perspective highlights the balance between practical realities of procurement and construction and the deeper responsibility architects have to embed cultural knowledge, equity, and design excellence.

Want to subscribe so you never miss an episode? This new show is being published to the original Hodinkee Podcasts feed, so you can subscribe wherever you find your podcasts, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or TuneIn.Episode 01 - Rolex, The Making Of A Status Symbol With Author Pierre-Yves DonzéNotoriously secretive when it comes to its operations and accounts, there haven't been a lot of business-focused books on Rolex, the biggest and most successful Swiss watch brand. At least until now, that is. Academic and professor of business history at Osaka University, Pierre-Yves Donzé is the author of The Making Of A Status Symbol, A business history of Rolex translated and published in English this year. We wanted to start our new podcast, The Business of Watches, by talking about the most important Swiss brand, and Donzé serves as an ideal guest, explaining the decisions and events that shaped Rolex into what it is today. The episode is full of revelations, from how Rolex dealt with the business challenges of a strong Swiss franc and the arrival of quartz, to how the brand overtook Omega in sales, and the critical role the U.S. has played in the company's history and success. Thanks so much for listening, and be sure to drop by the comments section if you have any thoughts or questions on the episode. We'll be back in two weeks with another episode of The Business of Watches. If you have any questions for an upcoming Q&A episode, please leave them in the comments below.

On this episode, Peter Boettke chats with political theorist Chandran Kukathas on his latest book, Dialogues on Immigration and the Open Society(Routledge, 2025), which addresses the most important ethical and political questions about immigration and aims to teach by questioning rather than preaching. He urges conceptual clarity about terms like “civilization,” “state,” and “immigration,” and argues that framing debates strictly as “justice” disputes is unhelpful amid deep moral disagreement. Building on his book, Immigration and Freedom, he warns that immigration control often curtails citizens' freedoms and highlights how restrictive policies can create a hostile climate toward migrants even where overall public support for immigration remains strong.Dr. Chandran Kukathas is Lee Kong Chian Chair Professor of Political Science at School of Social Sciences at Singapore Management University and a Distinguished Affiliated Fellow at the F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center. He is the author of many books, including Immigration and Freedom (Princeton University Press, 2021) and The Liberal Archipelago: A Theory of Diversity and Freedom (Oxford University Press, 2007).Show Notes:F.A.

James Lindsay once exposed the woke left's insanity with a hoax. Now he's exposed part of the right for bashing liberty and even embracing Marxist ideas.To prove it, he sent a conservative magazine a revised version of "The Communist Manifesto." They published it! He calls them the “woke right" because they "behave like the tyrants of the woke left." In this podcast, Lindsay explains why they're a problem. We also discuss why capitalism is hated, and how normal people fall for dangerous ideas.
Tony and Yannick discuss what to expect from the 2025-2026 academic year in UK schools.

Host Sebastian Hassinger interviews Alexandre Blais, professor of physics at the Universite de Sherbrooke and scientific director of the Insitut Quantique. Alexandre discusses his academic journey, starting from his master's and PhD work in Sherbrooke, his move to Yale, and his collaborations with both theorists and experimentalists. He outlines the development of circuit QED (quantum electrodynamics) and its foundational role in the modern superconducting qubit landscape. Blais emphasizes the interplay between fundamental physics and technological progress in quantum computing, highlighting both academic contributions and partnerships with industry. He also describes the evolution and mission of Institut Quantique, stressing its role in bridging academia and the quantum industry by training talent and fostering startups in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Finally, Blais reflects on the dual promise of quantum computing—as a tool for scientific discovery and as a long-term commercial technology.Key Themes and Points1. Early Career and Path into Quantum ComputingAlexandre Blais began his quantum computing journey during his master's at Sherbrooke, inspired by a popular science article by Serge Haroche that laid out the argument for why quantum computers would never work.He pursued quantum studies at Sherbrooke despite a lack of local experts, showing early initiative and risk-taking.2. Transition to Yale and Circuit QEDBlais joined Yale for his postdoc, attracted by the strong theory–experiment collaboration.The Yale group pioneered "circuit QED," adapting ideas from cavity QED (single atoms in magnetic cavities) to superconducting circuits, enabling new ways to read out and control qubits.Circuit QED became the backbone of superconducting qubit technology, notably enabling the transmon qubit (now a dominant architecture).Collaborated with figures like prior guests of the podcast Steve Girvin and Rob Schoelkopf, and was a postdoc along with Jay Gambetta and Andreas Wallraff.3. Superconducting Qubits and Research FocusMost of Blais's work has centered on superconducting qubits, particularly on understanding and extending coherence times, reducing errors, and improving fabrication/design.Emphasizes the complex, nonlinear, and rich physics even of single-qubit systems (e.g., challenges of dispersive readout and unexpected phenomena like multiphoton resonances).Notes the continuing importance of deep, fundamental research despite growing industrial and engineering focus.4. Role of Academia vs. IndustryGrowth of corporate investment (Google, IBM, Amazon, Intel) has changed the landscape.Blais argues that universities should focus on pushing the scientific frontier and training talent, not on building commercial-scale quantum computers.Academic groups can pursue high-risk, high-reward research and deeper understanding of quantum technology's physical underpinnings.5. Institut Quantique and Quebec's Quantum EcosystemBlais leads Institut Quantique, which supports both basic and applied quantum research and has been highly successful in fostering a local quantum startup ecosystem (e.g., SBQuantum, NordQuantique, Qubic).Offers entrepreneurship courses and significant seed grants (even to students and postdocs) to encourage talent retention and company creation in Sherbrooke.Partnership between academia, startups, and public investment has attracted international players like Pasqal and IBM, establishing Sherbrooke as a quantum technology hub.6. Societal and Philosophical ReflectionsFundamental challenge: making increasingly large quantum systems remain quantum despite Bohr's assertion, via the Correspondence principle, that as a quantum system scales it will become classical.Quantum computers are not only future commercial tools—they are already invaluable scientific instruments, enabling new physics via experimental control of complex quantum systems.Blais is optimistic about quantum computing's potential for both discovery and eventual large-scale applications.Main TakeawaysBuilding quantum computers is both a technological and fundamental scientific challenge. Even with commercial interest, deep physical understanding is essential—academic research remains vital.Close collaboration between theorists and experimentalists breeds breakthrough advances. Circuit QED exemplifies this synergy.Quantum research institutes can seed thriving tech ecosystems, if they focus on both talent training and supporting spinouts, as shown by Institut Quantique in Sherbrooke.Quantum computing's greatest early impacts will likely be as scientific instruments, enabling novel experiments and discoveries, before large-scale commercial utility is achieved.Quantum hardware's development continually reveals new, subtle physics; e.g., the decades-long puzzle of dispersive readout reflects the complexity inherent in scaling up quantum technology.Notable Quotes “Quantum computers will, before being commercially useful, be fantastic tools for discoveries.” “What we're trying to do is go against that very fundamental principle—we're trying to build a bigger and bigger system that behaves ever more quantum.” “There is real power in mixing theory and experiment when tackling the challenges of quantum technology.”Listeners will enjoy a blend of scientific storytelling, personal insight, and a blueprint for building world-class quantum research hubs that advance both discovery and innovation.
Many Amazon sellers from China excel at supply chain and operations, but struggle with branding and Western culture. This episode uncovers the hidden gap and how bridging East and West can change the game. Join us as we welcome Feng Xiaoxiao, a distinguished leader in the Chinese e-commerce community and a driving force behind 4,000 Amazon sellers in Shenzhen. Known as Professor Xiaoxiao, Feng shares her compelling journey from Shenzhen to New York, where she is currently pursuing a master's in integrated marketing at NYU. Feng provides insightful perspectives on the hurdles Chinese Amazon sellers face, such as high advertising costs and cultural misunderstandings, which impede their efforts to establish robust brands in the U.S. market. Her dedication to bridging these cultural gaps offers a unique lens into the e-commerce challenges faced by both Chinese and American sellers. Listen in as we explore the complexities of intellectual property (IP) awareness among Chinese sellers, heightened by Amazon's strict IP policies. Through education and adaptation, many are now prioritizing innovation and registering patents, although IP infringement remains a significant issue. We discuss the contrasting strengths of American and Chinese sellers, where Americans shine in innovation and branding, and Chinese sellers excel in product enhancement and cost reduction. This episode also touches on the misconceptions Americans may have about modern China and the potential for cross-cultural learning to enhance e-commerce strategies on platforms like Amazon. In a fascinating conversation about cross-cultural marketing, we dive into the intersection of Chinese and American e-commerce sellers, emphasizing the necessity of mutual learning. Feng shares success stories and highlights the importance of cultural understanding and aesthetic alignment in improving brand appeal. We also discuss strategies for targeting specific U.S. audiences, using tools like Facebook data to find unique market positions. As we wrap up, the discussion turns to the opportunities for collaboration between Chinese and American sellers, aiming to foster fair competition and mutual growth in the competitive landscape of global e-commerce. In episode 462 of the AM/PM Podcast, Kevin and Xiaoxiao discuss: 00:00 - Challenges of Chinese Amazon Sellers 02:33 - Global Connections Through Technology 06:20 - Challenges of Building US Brand 14:39 - Chinese Amazon Sellers & IP Infringements 19:01 - Cross-Cultural Marketing in E-Commerce 22:59 - Cultural Influence on Conversion Rates 29:08 - Market Research and Cultural Understanding 33:06 - Marketing Strategies and Consumer Data 37:25 - Reliability of Academic vs AI Data 41:27 - Opportunities for Chinese and American E-Commerce Seller Collaboration 48:01 - Amazon Business Owner Seeks Branding Help 54:07 - Common Ground Between East and West
