Ryan Fox is having the time of his life, winning a second PGA Tour competition within a month by claiming the Canadian Open. In attendance and in support of Ryan Fox were the All Whites - who played in Canada earlier, beating the Ivory Coast 1-0 - one of the team's best-ever results. A thrilling round of Super Rugby playoffs saw the Blues sneak into the final four, alongside the Crusaders, Chiefs and Brumbies. And in the ANZ Premiership - the Mystics overturn the Pulse in a top-of-the-table clash.

Our guest today is Dr. Maya Ackerman, a world-renowned AI expert who has been at the forefront of generative AI since 2015. She holds a PhD in Computer Science, is a professor at Santa Clara University, and has authored over 60 research publications.  As the co-founder and CEO of WaveAI, one of the earliest generative AI startups, she specialises in creating systems that elevate AI from a novelty to an essential tool for millions. A recognised 'Woman of Influence' and sought after for her expertise by outlets such as NBC News and New Scientist, her perspective is truly unique. In our conversation, we explore the delicate balance between human and machine creativity. It's a relationship that requires trust, improvisation, and a deep understanding of what you could truly call the dance of leading and following. And that perspective is exactly what we explore today. This is a conversation that bridges worlds: from learning to play the piano and sing opera to becoming a CEO in AI.  We get into the very nature of creativity itself, discussing improvisation, hallucination, imagination, and what Maya refers to as 'computational creativity.' We even touch on science fiction, asking how these humble creative machines might elevate, and not replace, us in the near future.

HOT TOPIC Topic: South Africa's growth prospects Guest: Maarten Ackerman - Citadel

New books by Joy Harjo and Ruthie Ackerman focus on very different moments in the life cycle of motherhood. First, Harjo's new book Washing My Mother's Body is an illustrated version of a poem she wrote in order to process grief. Harjo, the 23rd U.S. Poet Laureate and member of the Muscogee Nation, never got to carry out an important ritual after her mother's death – but returns in the poem to take care of things left undone. In today's episode, Harjo speaks with NPR's Leila Fadel about that ritual and the potency of the mother-daughter relationship. Then, journalist Ruthie Ackerman grew up hearing family stories that made her believe she shouldn't become a mom. But years later, she learned pieces of those stories weren't true. The Mother Code is a new memoir exploring Ackerman's indecision around becoming a parent. In today's episode, she speaks with NPR's Juana Summers about viewing maternal ambivalence as the norm.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Political theorist Lori Marso has been intrigued by filmmaker Chantal Ackerman for many years and has integrated Ackerman's work into her courses at Union College and into her writings and scholarship as well. So it is no surprise that Feminism and the Cinema of Experience (Duke UP, 2024) is both an academic and a personal journey into Ackerman's work but also the ways in which Ackerman's work and similar kinds of artistry have made their way into our imaginations and our cinematic spaces. In Feminism and the Cinema of Experience Marso uses both Ackerman's cinematic work and the written work of Simone de Beauvoir to frame a variety of approaches to thinking about feminism and contemporary film. As Marso explains, Ackerman's work attends to and notices women's experiences, often with the kinds of cinematography that are used to explore these experiences in ways that make audiences a bit uncomfortable. Part of the thrust of Marso's analysis is interrogating what it means to “feel like a feminist.” This is an important component to the discussion in Feminism and the Cinema of Experience since this feeling may be a space where we are puzzled by what we actually do feel and we need to accept that we are alright sitting with that discomfort and with that inconclusive affect. Feminism and the Cinema of Experience explores the ways that cinema and film shift our senses, through what we see, hear, and the focus of our thinking. Film is also a profoundly emotional experience, especially if we are in a theater with others or viewing it in a community. The discussions that we have with others about what we have seen and experienced are political—this is a form of political engagement and a kind of democratic engagement. Marso provides the reader with different genres and categories that help us think about films within the broader framework at hand. And within these sections, many more contemporary films are put into conversation with Ackerman's work. Finally, Marso wrote an epilogue of a kind that brings Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie into the discussion as well. This is an important and thoughtful examination of contemporary cinema—but it is also a valuable analysis of feminism and feminist thought as we see it all around us, but particularly in narrative form on the silver screen. Feminism and the Cinema of Experience is fascinating, engaging, and opens doors to new and different ways of thinking and seeing and experiencing. Lilly J. Goren is a professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-host of the New Books in Political Science channel at the New Books Network.

Golfing majors, A-League playoffs, big decisions - it's another busy time for New Zealand's sporting codes. 

Tom Ackerman breaks down the Cardinals' hot streak—eight straight wins and a sweep of the Nationals—highlighting standout performances from pitchers like Fetty, Palante, Gray, and Liberatore. Despite sitting just one game out of first in the Central Division, the team faces record-low attendance at Busch Stadium. Ackerman also examines the growing fan presence at Battle Hawks games versus low turnout in other UFL markets.

Today on the podcast, I sit down with Sara Ackerman, a Hawai'i-born, bestselling author known for her historical and contemporary novels set in the islands. With her books praised as "unforgettable" by Apple Books and “empowering & deliciously visceral” by Book Riot, Sara has carved out a space for her captivating stories. Her work has earned recognition from New York Times bestselling authors and was even selected as a best book of the month by Amazon.Raised on O'ahu, Sara grew up hearing stories of her grandparents' experiences during the war in Hawai'i. These memories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things inspire her novels, which often feature animals, nature, and strong, resilient characters. When she's not writing, you'll find her hiking, snorkeling, or seeking inspiration from the mountains and ocean.Sara's journey to writing began in 2012, when she sat down on her porch with no clear plan but a passion to write. Since then, she's embraced the challenges of the craft, believing that stories write themselves—she's simply there to help guide them. Her dedication to storytelling, along with her love for nature and history, continues to drive her to create unforgettable novels.
