On this episode of the Live Greatly podcast, Kristel Bauer sits down with behavioral scientist and author Leidy Klotz to explore how your environment shapes your mindset, relationships, and ability to perform at your best. Drawing from his new book, In a Good Place, Leidy shares how the spaces we live and work in can either support or limit our growth, connection, and sense of purpose—often in ways we don't consciously recognize. Kristel and Leidy dive into how small shifts in your surroundings can create meaningful changes in your habits, confidence, and overall well-being. They also explore how your perspective and choices within different environments can influence how you show up in your work and life. If you're looking to elevate your energy, strengthen your relationships, and create conditions that support sustainable high performance, this conversation offers a powerful new lens. Key Takeaways: How your physical environment influences your mindset and behavior Why certain spaces spark connection—and others shut it down How navigating new environments can enhance learning and growth Ways to adjust your surroundings to support confidence and clarity The connection between space, perspective, and long-term success ABOUT LEIDY KLOTZ Leidy Klotz is a behavioral scientist and engineering professor at the University of Virginia who studies how and why humans design.

When Karyn Paringatai learned about a pattern among her family members, it changed the course of her life: A lot of people died young. As Karyn dug into her family history, she learned many Maori families, like her own, suffered from a rare form of stomach cancer called diffuse gastric cancer. Sarah Zhang recently wrote a story on this kind of cancer as a staff writer at The Atlantic. Today, she gets into all the details with Short Wave host Emily Kwong: the mutation that causes it and the life-changing decision people with the mutation have to make – risk dying or get surgery to remove their entire stomach?Interested in more science?

Generative AI is making it easier than ever to create influencers who don't actually exist. These synthetic personas can build audiences, promote products and even shape political conversations — often without people realizing they aren't real. So what happens when influence itself can be engineered at scale? We sit down with Charlie Warzel, a staff writer at The Atlantic, who explains how AI-generated influencers are fueling a “volume game” online, why authenticity may matter less than we think and how this trend could deepen misinformation and political division. Plus, what to look for if you're trying to spot who's real — and who's not — in your feed.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

Meghan's guest this week is British journalist and author Brendan O'Neill, chief political writer at Spiked and author of Vibe Shift: The Revolt Against Wokeness, Greenism and Technocracy. Brendan talks about what he sees as a growing "vibe shift" away from elite consensus and toward something like common sense—though not without its own distortions. He and Meghan discuss the UK's role in pushing back on gender ideology (aka "TERF Island"), the uneasy state of free speech on both sides of the Atlantic, and why ordinary people seemed to tolerate cultural excesses until they suddenly didn't. They also touch on the rise of unserious, meme-driven politics, the infantilization of public discourse (with Greta Thunberg as an emblematic if also profoundly dysfunctional figure), and the strange convergence of hectoring moralism on one side and gleeful nihilism on the other. Finally, Brendan reflects on his own journey from revolutionary communist to free speech absolutist, and why he thinks we may be inching slowly back toward a politics grounded less in identity and more in reality. Guest Bio; Brendan O'Neill is the chief political writer at Spiked and host of The Brendan O'Neill Show. He's also the author of several books, including Anti-Woke, A Duty to Offend, A Heretic's Manifesto, and most recently, Vibe Shift: The Revolt Against Wokeness, Greenism and Technocracy.

Larken is back! And he rejoins IL's Terry Foy to reflect on how things have changed since their season-opening show at Gillette Stadium and what's happened since.From there, they move to the Big Ten Quarterfinals; Michigan is doing its thing and  is Ohio State's season over? Conversely, Duke is keeping its hopes alive and Notre Dame is tightening its grip on the No. 1 seed. In the Ivy League, Yale claimed the 4-seed and Cornell is hosting again while Princeton continues to chug along. All that plus a Friday night whip-around of the Patriot League, Big East and Atlantic 10.

As journalists, a-listers, and some of the most vociferous critics of journalism from the Trump administration gather for the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Dahlia Lithwick tackles the president and his allies' tactics to chill the press and undermine the First Amendment. In conversation with Guardian columnist and former New York Times public editor, Margaret Sullivan she explores the Trump administration's use of meritless, high-dollar defamation suits, focusing on FBI Director Kash Patel's $250 million lawsuit lodged against The Atlantic this week. Sullivan links democratic decline to media decline, citing oligarch ownership, consolidation, weakened local news, reduced public media, and corporate leaders' capitulation via settlements and editorial interference.Margaret's newsletter, American Crisis can be found here: margaretsullivan.substack.com/Next, Dahlia and co-host Mark Joseph Stern examine New York Times' reporting on leaked Supreme Court memos showing the 2016 Clean Power Plan stay as a pivotal shadow docket moment that perfectly illustrates how activity on the shadow docket is driven by institutional grievance rather than legal urgency. They also dissect Trump's renewed attacks on the justices despite their frequent support for his agenda.Want more Amicus?

A leaked Pentagon email reportedly outlines options to punish allies over a perceived lack of support for the Iran war. The email also suggested reviewing the US position on the UK's claim to the Falklands islands in the south Atlantic, which are also claimed by Argentina. We get reaction from Spain. Also on the programme: representatives from dozens of countries are gathering in Colombia to discuss moving away from fossil fuels; and as the ceasefire in Lebanon is extended for another three weeks, we talk to one family who've just returned to their flat in Beirut.(Credit: Reuters)

David Brooks of The Atlantic and Jonathan Capehart of MS NOW join Geoff Bennett to discuss the week in politics, including the Justice Department dropping its probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell after admitting it lacked evidence, voters in Virginia approving a redistricting effort benefiting Democrats and President Trump saying he's in no rush to end the Iran war.

“Canada Is Killing Itself” says The Atlantic, in an explosive report on MAiD (Medical Assistance In Dying) practitioners in Canada – including Dr. Ellen Wiebe, who has reportedly “facilitated the deaths of more than 430 patients.” It's getting worse: according to a new report, the Quebec College of Physicians has even raised the idea of extending current MAiD practices to cover individuals suffering purely from mental illnesses like depress, and to infants under one year old. But what happens in Canada doesn't often stay with its borders: California is rapidly adopting draconian measures that mirror Canada's radical program. Since it was made legal in 2016, MAiD has been responsible for over 76,000 deaths in Canada, now accounting for over five percent of all deaths in the country.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.serioustrouble.showThis week Ken and Josh discuss several big defamation suits. The Atlantic has reported that Kash Patel is often drunk and derelict in his duties as FBI Director. But Patel says he's only guilty of working really hard, and he's suing the Atlantic. He's got a theory he says is a “slam dunk” — The Atlantic defamed him with actual malice because he denied the accusations against him but they printed him anyway. That theory didn't work for Trump against The Wall Street Journal and it didn't work for Patel against Frank Figliuzzi Jr., who accused him of being a nightclub rat on Morning Joe, but maybe it will work this time? (It won't).Also, his lawyer did something incompetent — shocker.And more formidably, former Capitol Police officer Shauni Kerkhoff is suing The Blaze and two of its “journalists” for accusing her of being the Capitol Hill pipe bomber, on the basis of a shoddy “gait analysis” alleging that her limp matched the way the bomber walked on surveillance video. Proving actual malice is hard — as a police officer, Kerkhoff is treated as a public figure in the coverage of her work — but the journalists' persistence with their accusations even after Brian Cole was arrested for the bombings strengthens her case. She also has very real defamation lawyers: Clare Locke, the firm that got the huge settlement out of Fox for Dominion Voting Systems.That defamation coverage is for all listeners this week. In the full premium episode, there's also:* Even more defamation coverage, with Laura Loomer losing at summary judgment in her lawsuit against Bill Maher, and Megan Thee Stallion failing to obtain a court order instructing Milagro Cooper to stop talking about her.* A preliminary injunction telling Apple and Facebook to restore anti-ICE resources they took off the internet at the government's behest.* The SPLC indictment.* A settlement for Carter Page.* A Sam Bankman-Fried update.* And a court ruling that says it's legal to be a huge dick in Alabama.Upgrade your subscription to receive all of our episodes at serioustrouble.show.

The episode opens with D‑Fly and Dixie recapping a packed weekend of college lacrosse, highlighting dramatic one‑goal games, strong crowds, and electric atmospheres across the country. They discuss their own on‑site experiences at marquee matchups like Hopkins–Maryland, touch on standout women's games, and bring in analyst Craig McMichael to break down national trends as the postseason begins. Together, they preview major conference‑shaping games in the Atlantic 10, Big East, Ivy League, ACC, and Big Ten—evaluating RPI implications, at‑large chances, stylistic matchups, and which teams are peaking or fading at the wrong time. Their analysis covers Richmond–High Point, Georgetown–Villanova, Harvard–Cornell, Duke–UNC, Syracuse–Notre Dame, and Maryland–Rutgers, with each host offering predictions and broader context for Selection Sunday.Cornell's leading scorer, junior attackman Willem Firth, joins the show to talk about his journey from Ottawa to Hill Academy to Cornell. He reflects on Cornell's first national championship in 48 years and shares how the team approached the 2026 season. He emphasized the team's focus on building a new identity rather than replicating last year's success, highlighting a balanced six-man offense and a strong defensive unit anchored by goalie Matthew Tully. Willem discussed his background in Ottawa, his time at the prestigious Hill Academy where he was coached by legends like Jeff Teat and Brody Merrill, and how that experience shaped him as a player. D-Fly & Willem drafted a Hill Academy alumni Sixes Team that could compete with any in the world. He also touched on the upcoming high-stakes Ivy League game against Harvard, which could earn Cornell the No. 1 seed and home-hosting rights. On the lighter side, he named the Celtics as his favorite team, called out two SSDM as his basketball teammate picks, and revealed that house music and 90's throwbacks dominate the Cornell locker room playlist. GAME PREVIEWSFRIDAYNo. 4 Richmond (11-1, 5-0 A10) at High Point (6-6, 5-0) | 5 p.m. | ESPN+ | Spiders -6.5/25.5No. 12 Georgetown (7-4, 4-0 Big East) at Villanova (6-6, 3-1) | 7 p.m. | ESPN+ | Hoyas -5.5/22.5SATURDAYNo. 10 Harvard (9-3, 3-2 Ivy) at No. 6 Cornell (9-3, 4-1) | noon | ESPN+ | Big Red -2.5/24.5No. 16 Duke (8-4, 0-3 ACC) at No. 3 North Carolina (11-2, 2-1) | noon | ESPNU | Heels -1.5/23.5No. 5 Syracuse (11-3, 2-1 ACC) at No. 1 Notre Dame (9-1, 2-1) | noon | ACCNX | Irish -1.5/21.5No. 20 Rutgers (8-6, 1-3 Big Ten) at No. 11 Maryland (6-5, 3-2) | 6 p.m. | B1G+ | Terps -4.5/18.5 GIVE & GOIn this week's Best of TV-themed Give & Go, the guys share their favorite all-time TV drama series and see where those shows compare on an official list of the greatest of all time.

FBI director Kash Patel has sued The Atlantic for $250 million. It comes after the magazine published an article alleging that Patel is frequently drunk on the job and that his security team has had difficulty waking him on multiple occasions. Still, The Atlantic isn't backing down, writing in a statement, “We stand by our reporting on Kash Patel, and we will vigorously defend The Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit.” But we've seen this move before, and it appears Kash is simply taking a page out of President Donald Trump's book. Trump himself has sued the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times for stories and polls he didn't like. To talk more about the litigious Trump administration, we spoke with Oliver Darcy. He's the founder of Status, a nightly newsletter focused on the media.And in headlines, Dr. Mehmet Oz says Trump's testosterone is top tier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recites Iran war talking points, and Republicans are losing at their own redistricting game.Show Notes: Check out Status – https://www.status.news/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

A large-scale and delicate system of ocean currents that has been active for millions of years and that's responsible for our warm climate is in danger of collapse due to climate change. This is according to a new study published in April in the journal Science Advances. If that collapse actually happens, scientists warn, the consequences could be dire. Shane Elipot, a physical oceanographer at the University of Miami and one of the authors of the study, joins The Excerpt to share his findings.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss Trump's need for a face-saving exit amid his economically disastrous standoff with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, how Kash Patel's defamation suit against The Atlantic could hurt him more than help him, and a controversial new Yale report on trust in higher education with guest and report committee co-chair Beverly Gage.For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss the personal and political dimensions of President Trump's new executive order aimed at increasing federal psychedelics research and therapeutic access for mental health treatments. In the latest Gabfest Reads, Emily Bazelon talks with journalist Mark Oppenheimer about his new book, Judy Blume: A Life. Oppenheimer, who spent years with Blume's papers at Yale and conducted extensive interviews with the author herself, traces how a restless housewife in New Jersey became one of the most beloved—and most banned—writers in American history.

From the moment Kash Patel was appointed as the director of the F.B.I., he has invited controversy and concern about what his leadership would look like and how it might affect the agency. The New York Times journalists Emily Bazelon and Rachel Poser spoke to dozens of current and former F.B.I. employees about how the agency has been transformed. Guest: Emily Bazelon, a staff writer at The New York Times Magazine. Rachel Poser, a story editor for The New York Times Magazine. Background reading:  Read their article about a year inside the F.B.I. under Mr. Patel.

- The DOJ indicts the Southern Poverty Law Center, accusing it of paying extremist groups it claimed to be fighting and turning the anti-Trump “hate” narrative into a fraud operation. - Charlottesville is recast as a staged political weapon, with new allegations that paid agitators helped create the spectacle later used to brand Trump and the right as racist.  - Kash Patel sues The Atlantic after its hit piece falls apart, then follows it with the SPLC indictment, turning a media attack into a counterpunch. - Democrats keep rooting for U.S. failure in Iran, with Seth Moulton declaring America has already lost even as the regime bleeds money and leverage. - The episode closes on two home-front warnings: Democrats seize more structural power in Virginia while Ilhan Omar's finances and even MAGA influencer culture get framed as scams hiding in plain sight.

Anthropic has sought the help of Christian theologians to make Claude, their A.I. model, more ethical, but they are also meeting with representatives from other religious and philosophical traditions. Should this make us more optimistic about tech companies controlling the future? The Atlantic has a story about the popularity of John Mark Comer even among non-religious young adults. Is his advocacy of contemplative Christian practices the answer to digital secularism our culture has been searching for? Kelsey Kramer McGinnis, co-author of "The Myth of Good Christian Parenting," talks with Skye about the explosive rise of evangelical parenting books in the late 20th century and the prosperity theology behind them. She says the same ideas are still popular today, but they are taking new forms.

In Kash Patel’s first presser since “The Atlantic” published its story alleging the FBI Director has “bouts of excessive drinking” and several unexplained absences, things got heated pretty quickly. Patel got into a fiery exchange with an NBC reporter over allegations he panicked, believing he was fired when he couldn’t access his government computer. It was an intense back and forth that eventually led to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche interrupting the exchange to tell the reporter he was “extraordinarily rude.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've heard a lot about the loneliness epidemic in this country, but it might be worth asking: Do we even like spending time with people anymore? Derek Thompson, staff writer at The Atlantic, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the phenomenon where we're on our phones but digitally surrounded by people, and how this isolation is rewiring us to be more anti-social – including in both our personal relationships and political lives.

In her recent profile of Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Department of Justice, The Atlantic's Quinta Jurecic writes, “Dhillon's leadership of the division is both the next step in the natural progression of a career spent needling liberals and a preview of what is to come if she continues to rise within the Justice Department.” But, Jurecic notes, Dhillon may be “at the top of her game, yet her position has never appeared more precarious.”For today's episode, Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sits down with Jurecic and Lawfare Senior Editor Anna Bower to talk through the life and times of the Justice Department's current head of the civil rights division. They discuss Dhillon's extensive social media presence, the hallmarks of her tenure at the Justice Department thus far, and why there may be limits to how high she can climb in the MAGA movement.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Iceland is an island of great beauty and even greater strategic importance. Its position in the Greenland Iceland UK Gap, the gateway between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, makes it crucial to Nato operations in the High North.But Iceland is one of the few nations in the world with no military of its own. A country of approximately 400,000 people, its security relies on the umbrella of protection it derives from being a founding member of NATO, a bilateral agreement with the United States signed in 1951 and a highly skilled coast guard and police force. In a climate of fracturing political alliances, is entrusting national defence so heavily on the guarantees of allies a sustainable strategy? Sandra Kanthal travelled to Reykjavik to find out.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

Congress is in the middle of a rare moment where members are actually being forced out, and it is happening on both sides at once. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales are already gone, both stepping down before they could be expelled, and now the pressure is shifting to others who are caught up in their own scandals. It is not subtle. This is a full blown house cleaning, and it is moving faster than Congress usually moves on anything involving its own members.The fallout from Swalwell is still spreading, especially for Ruben Gallego, who had been one of his most vocal defenders just days before everything collapsed. Now he is stuck trying to explain what he knew and how close he really was to someone whose behavior is suddenly under a microscope. His answer, calling Swalwell “flirty,” lands awkwardly and undercuts the whole “normal guy” image that made him politically effective in the first place. It sounds like a line that was workshopped instead of something real, and that is exactly the kind of thing that voters tend to pick apart.At the same time, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is staring down what looks like an inevitable expulsion vote over allegations that she funneled millions in COVID relief money into her campaign. The details are serious enough that even Democrats do not seem eager to defend her, and the lack of public support from party leadership says a lot. There might have been a time when members circled the wagons, but this feels different. The appetite to protect colleagues at all costs is not what it used to be.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.All of this points to a broader shift in how Congress is handling its own scandals. When four different members, tied to both financial and personal misconduct, are all facing consequences at the same time, it suggests that the internal pressure has reached a point where inaction is no longer politically safe. Members are not being pushed out because Congress suddenly became more ethical. They are being pushed out because keeping them has become more dangerous.Meanwhile, the administration is dealing with its own turbulence as Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer exits under the cloud of an inspector general investigation. The official explanation is that she is leaving for the private sector, but the timing and the surrounding allegations make it clear that this was not a clean departure. Reports of inappropriate relationships, questionable travel, and internal complaints created enough heat that the White House appears to have decided it was easier to move on than fight it out publicly.The pattern shows up again with FBI Director Kash Patel, who is now suing The Atlantic for defamation over a story that paints him as erratic and prone to heavy drinking. The lawsuit is massive in dollar amount, but legally it faces long odds, especially given the standard required for public figures. More than anything, it reads like an attempt to push back on a narrative that is already taking hold, one that questions both his professionalism and his control over the agency.Taken together, all of this feels like a moment where institutions are trying to clean themselves up in real time, but only because the pressure to do so has become unavoidable. Congress is ejecting members, the administration is cycling out officials, and public fights over reputation are playing out in the open. It is not orderly, and it is not coordinated, but it is very clearly a system reacting to its own instability.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:43 - Virginia Redistricting00:05:34 - Congress Cleans House00:16:23 - Update00:17:00 - Lori Chavez-DeRemer00:22:09 - Reconciliation00:25:36 - Kash Patel00:32:20 - Tom Merritt on Politics, Tech, and AI01:27:13 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

President Donald Trump and Co. have historically claimed to be all about free speech. But maybe Trump only cares about free speech when he likes what's being said. Earlier this month, The Intercept reported that the Department of Justice is taking Reddit to court to force the massive social media platform to unmask one of its users. Why? Because Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been desperately trying to identify the user who said stuff ICE doesn't like.To learn more about what's going on with Reddit and the Justice Department, we spoke with Ryan Devereaux. He's an investigative journalist for the Intercept.And in headlines, FBI Director Kash Patel says he's going to sue The Atlantic for a 'defamatory article', companies that paid Trump's emergency tariffs can start claiming refunds, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright brings more bad news about gas prices.Show Notes: Check out Ryan's piece – https://tinyurl.com/5akbsrww Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Nicolle Wallace covers the breaking news that the Justice Department has subpoenaed several witnesses to testify before a federal grand jury in Washington as part of its investigation into Former CIA Director Brennan. Later, Nicolle covers the stunning reporting from The Atlantic which accuses FBI Director Kash Patel of excessive drinking and erratic behavior. The reporting suggests that Patel would get so intoxicated that he would be unreachable behind locked doors, and to get him out, there was a request put in for “breaching equipment” used by SWAT teams when they need to rescue someone quickly.
