This week, the AEI Podcast Channel features the latest episode of https://www.aei.org/tag/explain-to-shane-podcast/ (Explain to Shane). You can find Explain to Shane on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/explain-to-shane/id1523693011 (Apple Podcasts), https://open.spotify.com/show/3ZPhP6FBGDVblkzR3hJzz3?si=9135ca93bd094f45 (Spotify) or wherever you get your podcasts. The potential for a fragmented, decentralized global internet (or “splinternet”) is a concern on many levels. Two aspects of internet governance are at play here: the technical aspects of connectivity (or lack thereof), and content delivery — in essence, what material is permitted, censored, or filtered. As China, Russia, and authoritarian-leaning regimes advance top-down visions of the internet that reflect their national interests, will the internet fragment further? And what would moving away from the status quo of a free, open internet mean for global cybersecurity?  To help make sense of these complex questions, https://www.aei.org/profile/shane-tews/ (Shane) is joined by https://cltc.berkeley.edu/about-us/researchers/nick-merrill/ (Nick Merrill), director of the https://daylight.berkeley.edu/ (Daylight Security Research Lab) at the University of California, Berkeley's https://cltc.berkeley.edu/ (Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity). In addition to recent national news appearances, Nick's work includes https://cltc.berkeley.edu/internet-atlas/ (The Internet Atlas) — a visual indicator of the global internet's structural risks. He joins the podcast to discuss how individual countries' internet governance decisions shape user experiences and the global cybersecurity landscape.

For decades, our appreciation for natural beauty has been tempered by an awareness of its impermanence. Our environment, its species, and the very climate in which we live all exist under conditions of duress. In this month's lecture, we will hear from Pulitzer prize winner E.O. Wilson, one of the most influential biologists of the last 70 years and pioneer of the field of sociobiology. His lecture, delivered in 2001, addresses the dangers facing our environment, strategies for slowing its decline, and the importance of preserving our natural capital.

After labeling the Wuhan lab leak theory a conspiracy, the mainstream media and prominent scientists – even Dr. Fauci – are beginning to take the Covid origin story seriously. To further investigate the hypothesis, Rep. Mike Gallagher has asked the Biden administration to declassify the intelligence surrounding research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. On our latest episode, Rep. Gallagher joined Dany and Marc to discuss the pandemic's origins and the growing evidence of a Chinese lab leak and cover-up. He also talks about the Wuhan Institute of Virology's potential links to US funding through the EcoHealth Alliance.

This week, the AEI Podcast Channel presents the latest episode of Unprecedential. Both historically and constitutionally, the freedom to worship has been a centerpiece of American politics. For much of their history, Americans viewed religious devotion as a linchpin of human experience and deserving of legal protection. But traditional religion has become increasingly suspect in the current cultural landscape, which prizes autonomy and freedom. For those with secular beliefs, faith can seem like a veil for discrimination and intolerance. To discuss the political dynamics of religion, George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School professor https://www.law.gmu.edu/faculty/directory/fulltime/alvare_helen (Helen Alvaré) joins https://twitter.com/adamjwhitedc (Adam) on Unprecedential. Adam and Professor Alvaré, who has written and edited three books on topics related law and religion, consider religion's place in government, in politics, and in education.

This week, the AEI Podcast Channel presents the latest episode of the National Affairs Podcast. The 2019-2020 school year will be remembered as the year we all became home schoolers. But well before the pandemic, the popularity of home schooling exceeded its actual prevalence, as fiscal and logistical challenges often posed insurmountable obstacles for potential home-school families. Guest Michael McShane joins us to discuss the hybrid home-school model, and how it might offer a way to close the gap as families consider their post-pandemic options.  You can find the National Affairs podcast on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-national-affairs-podcast/id1462187508 (Apple), https://open.spotify.com/show/4eT6j772LTtjZCmdFMwG1g?si=a4b2d5a1e6224aed (Spotify) or wherever you get your podcasts.

This week, the AEI Podcast Channel presents the latest episode of "The Invisible Men," hosted by Ian Rowe and Nique Fajors. In this episode, Ian and Nique are joined by https://thefederalist.com/author/delanosquires/ (Delano Squires) — an Author at the Federalist and a long-time public servant. Delano shares how his growing faith journey and upbringing in an interconnected family from the West Indies have been center points of his journey as a writer. A computer engineering major in college, Delano was inspired to begin his writing career as the tragic murder of MVF NFL quarterback Steve McNair prompted him to reflect on how deeply the decisions of fathers affect their families. Since then, Delano has become increasingly convinced that human flourishing in America hinges on the revitalization of strong families and faith communities. Of increasing concern to Delano is the tendency of elites today to “raise the ceiling while giving lip service to the floor.” Specifically, Delano laments how many elites project language of oppression and avoid discussing central challenges like fraying families and communities, even as they build strong and stable families in their own lives. Delano responds to this challenge by calling on men who care more about their communities than their public reputation to speak publicly about the importance of fatherhood. Tune in to the full episode to learn more about Delano's story and hear his words of advice for “Darryl.” You can find "The Invisible Men" on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-invisible-men/id1554488061 (Apple), https://open.spotify.com/show/7qCFvA04ks7KFh0mzIe0mt?si=771a70349089433c (Spotify), https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL377GieLGvXQZnyX3jnxdWd1w4SvSjUte (YouTube) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Today, the AEI Podcast Channel presents the most recent episode of https://www.aei.org/tag/what-the-hell-podcast/ (What the Hell is Going On?) hosted by Danielle Pletka and Marc Thiessen. President Biden recently announced that he plans to withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021. The decision has sparked accusations of “surrender,” and fears that Biden is repeating the Iraq withdrawal mistake again -- a decision that led to the establishment of ISIS's caliphate in Iraq. Rep. Adam Kinzinger joined Dany and Marc to talk about the implications of the US troop withdrawal. He also discusses his service in Afghanistan and Iraq, the timing of Biden's decision, and what it will mean for American national security. Rep. Kinzinger is currently serving his sixth term in the House of Representatives, representing Illinois' Sixteenth Congressional District. Prior to being elected to Congress, Kinzinger served in the Air Force in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/4.15.21-Kinzinger-transcript.pdf (Download the transcript here.)

Today, the AEI Podcast Channel presents our newest podcast, https://www.aei.org/tag/an-economist-goes-to-college-podcast/ (An Economist Goes to College). Economist and scholar Beth Akers seeks to inform aspiring students about how to make strategic decisions about their higher education. Speaking on topics like how to use data to shop for college or non-college alternatives, how to utilize the student loan system to your advantage, and more, Beth cuts through the romanticism we often attach to college decision making and teaches listeners how to make decisions that are grounded in data and fact. In this episode, Beth speaks with Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist for The New York Times and author of the book, “The Price You Pay for College,” about the ins and outs of the college decision-making process. They talk about what aspiring students and their families most often get wrong about the system, and what they really can't afford to misunderstand, when it comes to picking and paying for college.

This week, the AEI Podcast Channel presents Wednesday's episode of https://www.aei.org/tag/political-economy-podcast/ (Political Economy), a podcast hosted by AEI's Jim Pethokoukis. On both sides of the aisle, calls for industrial policy seem to be gaining momentum. Americans have grown more skeptical about markets in the aftermath of the Great Recession. And China's more managed economy seems to be growing faster and rivaling the US as the technological leader of the world. Many policymakers have reacted by saying that the US government needs to embrace industrial policy and take a more hands-on approach to promoting innovation. Today's guest, Scott Lincicome, disagrees, holding that an adoption of stronger industrial policy would be unnecessary and even counterproductive. Scott is a senior fellow in economic studies at the Cato Institute, where he writes on international trade, industrial policy, and economic dynamism. And he is the author of the recently released policy report, “https://www.cato.org/publications/policy-analysis/manufactured-crisis-deindustrialization-free-markets-national-security?queryID=65d39f691ce4087d1e1a4597e0f32490 (Manufactured Crisis: ‘Deindustrialization,' Free Markets, and National Security).” Find Political Economy on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/political-economy-with-jim-pethokoukis/id589914386 (Apple Podcasts), https://open.spotify.com/show/7uxmhckv5mOU02y3pvMOQI?si=5809d4a4efef49f9 (Spotify) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Today, the AEI Podcast Channel presents the most recent episode of https://www.aei.org/tag/hardly-working-podcast/ (Hardly Working), a podcast hosted by AEI scholar, Brent Orrell. Nontechnical skills — communication, creativity, and teamwork — are important to career success. Unfortunately, they often aren't well-defined, and we have trouble “teaching” them in a classroom. David Deming of the https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Malcom+Weiner+Center+on+Social+Policy+at+Harvard&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 (Malcom Wiener Center on Social Policy) at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government has spent several years researching the role noncognitive and nontechnical skills play in workforce success. On this episode of “Hardly Working,” I sat down with Deming to learn more about his career and the impact of job outcomes. He also spoke about the launch and development of the new Harvard Skills Lab and how state and local workforce agencies, training organizations, community colleges, and others can gain access to more information about what works in workforce preparation.   You can find Hardly working on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hardly-working-with-brent-orrell/id1494381789 (Apple), https://open.spotify.com/show/1mJXRpHZfJTs5E6MNkOKWM?si=8735c49d9c6f49e8 (Spotify) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Today, the AEI Podcast Channel presents a conversation between the director of AEI's Critical Threats Project, Fred Kagan, and General David H. Petraeus on the http://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/isws-overwatch-podcast-series (Overwatch) podcast. Civil war and an unrestrained al Qaeda are all but certain should the US withdraw its forces from Afghanistan in May per the US-Taliban deal signed over a year ago. American disengagement will only embolden revisionist powers and create an even more dangerous security situation for the region and beyond. On this episode of Overwatch, Frederick W. Kagan, director of the Critical Threats Project at the American Enterprise Institute, and General David H. Petraeus sit down to discuss the US-Taliban agreement, the consequences of a US withdrawal, and a sustainable way forward that protects not only American interests, but also advances those of the Afghan people.

Today, the AEI Podcast Channel presents episode 27 of https://www.aei.org/tag/explain-to-shane-podcast/ (Explain to Shane), a tech podcast hosted by Shane Tews and Will Rau. While stuck indoors during the pandemic, items we want — and sometimes need — are harder to locate. Web retailers offer a quick fix, but what if we need online tutoring, IT help, or athletic coaching? And what if we could offer our own goods and services in return? In an attempt to overcome the communication barriers of traditional barter exchanges, https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Explain-to-Shane-Josh-Kline-Bio-.pdf (Josh Kline) founded https://www.haveneed.org/ (HaveNeed) — an app that lets users pay for what they “need” with what they “have.” The app's algorithm creates pairings and multiparty trade circles that were previously impossible to arrange, and employs innovative security measures to ensure fair transactions.

This week, the AEI Podcast Channel presents the latest episode of https://www.aei.org/tag/are-you-kidding-me-podcast/ (Are You Kidding Me?,) hosted by AEI scholars Naomi Schaefer Riley and Ian Rowe. Over the past month, US family policy has captivated the attention of policymakers across the ideological spectrum. At the forefront of the family policy conversation: a universal child allowance. In early February 2021, Senator Mitt Romney https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/02/04/romney-child-benefit-stimulus/ (proposed) a sweeping plan to combine several tax credits and the major US cash welfare program into a universal child allowance, paid in cash to families on a monthly basis. Democrats responded with a https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/02/07/child-benefit-democrats-biden/ (plan) of their own that would introduce a slightly smaller child allowance, but keep other federal benefits intact. How would a universal child allowance affect child poverty in the US? Does this policy hold fast to the conservative tradition of pursuing “temporary, targeted, and timely” federal supports?  Joining Naomi and Ian in this episode is AEI Rowe Scholar in poverty studies https://www.aei.org/profile/angela-rachidi/ (Angela Rachidi). She discusses the history of poverty alleviation programs in the US, the potential unintended consequences of a child allowance, and the policy agenda of a new “pro-natalist” movement on the right focused on removing barriers that prevent Americans from having the number of children they desire. Later, Ian, Naomi, and Angela explore means-tested “baby bonds” as a potential alternative to the child allowance.  Find Are You Kidding Me? on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/are-you-kidding-me/id1511049533 (Apple), https://open.spotify.com/show/5CUToI2Rb5fhWHJWqUUrhg?si=f5cd5ba267b8461f (Spotify) or wherever you get your podcasts.
