WABC Host Bill O'Reilly calls in to touch on the shifting media landscape and his puzzling relationship with Howard Stern. O'Reilly recalls knowing Stern from their Boston University days and even having him on The O'Reilly Factor, but Stern now denies knowing him, which O'Reilly finds strange. He critiques Stern's transformation from rebellious satirist to Hollywood insider and political activist, suggesting it alienated his core audience and may explain declining SiriusXM subscriptions. O'Reilly reflects on the disappearance of true media icons like Walter Cronkite, Rush Limbaugh, and Johnny Carson, saying no one of that stature is emerging today. He praises Sid for being one of the last daring voices in radio and predicts that Stern may soon retire, though he might stay if he accepts a pay cut when his current contract is up.

DermaSensor has developed the first FDA-cleared, AI-powered skin cancer detection device specifically designed for primary care physicians. After spending $27 million on R&D over eight years and conducting 15 clinical studies, the company received FDA clearance in January 2024. Using elastic scattering spectroscopy, the device analyzes cellular and subcellular structures in skin tissue—the same characteristics pathologists examine under microscopes—to provide objective skin cancer risk assessments in under 30 seconds. In this episode, CEO Cody Simmons shares the journey from Boston University research lab to commercial deployment across hundreds of medical practices. Topics Discussed: DermaSensor's eight-year development journey from 30-pound research devices to handheld commercial products The FDA clearance process requiring five pre-submission meetings and over 10,000 pages of documentation Strategic decision to target primary care physicians rather than dermatologists based on competitive intelligence Clinical validation showing device accuracy matches in-person dermatologist assessments Commercial launch strategy achieving coverage from major media outlets without a major PR firm Rapid adoption by hundreds of private practices within the first year post-clearance GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Learn from competitive failures before choosing your market: Cody observed companies spending "literally hundreds of millions of dollars" targeting dermatologists with similar devices, only to see them "commercially immediately fizzled out" within 2-4 years. Dermatologists, being experts, were confident in their existing processes and questioned why they needed additional tools. This competitive intelligence led DermaSensor to target primary care physicians who welcomed objective second opinions. B2B founders should study why similar solutions failed in adjacent markets and identify underserved segments where their value proposition resonates more strongly. Align your commercial strategy with regulatory requirements years in advance: Cody emphasized that you must "align your plan like your commercial plan with your study" and your FDA indication for use, determining "who's actually approved to use the device for what purpose." This planning must happen years before approval since clinical studies are designed around the intended commercial application. B2B founders in regulated industries should work backwards from their go-to-market strategy when designing regulatory pathways, ensuring clinical evidence supports their target market and use cases. FDA clearance itself can be your biggest PR moment: DermaSensor achieved coverage on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Forbes, Reuters, and Time Magazine's Best Inventions list primarily because "the FDA clearance itself was so big" for a first-in-class device addressing "the most common cancer." They worked with only an independent PR consultant, not a major firm. B2B founders should recognize that major regulatory milestones, especially for novel technologies, inherently generate media interest and plan their launch communications accordingly. Prioritize speed and simplicity when displacing manual processes: The device works in "less than 30 seconds" from pickup to result, addressing primary care physicians who previously had to rely on visual assessment with minimal dermatology training (only "two to four hours of training in medical school"). The combination of speed, objectivity, and ease of use made adoption attractive to non-specialists. B2B founders should design solutions that are dramatically faster and more accurate than existing manual processes, especially when targeting users who lack specialized expertise. Private practices adopt faster than health systems but both are essential: Cody noted that "private practices, because they make decisions so quickly" with "one or two doctors that run the practice" were able to rapidly adopt the technology. However, health systems provide validation and scale. The company focused on building "that whole ecosystem" where "health systems using a private practice, using it. Dermatologists are aware of it." B2B founders should sequence their go-to-market to capture quick wins from agile smaller customers while simultaneously pursuing enterprise accounts for long-term growth and market credibility.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Surprisingly, many older adults approaching retirement feel a sense of dread – even when they have sufficient financial security and are reasonably healthy. In a project sponsored by Harvard Business School, Teresa Amabile's research team spent a decade researching retirement to understand people's attitudes toward, decisions about, and experiences of retiring. She and her colleagues, Lotte Bailyn (MIT), Marcy Crary (Bentley University), Douglas T. Hall, and Kathy Kram (both of Boston University), interviewed 120 knowledge workers in successful companies, including some who were still working, some who had retired, and some who were about to enter the retirement transition. The 14 people approaching retirement in the near term became the “Stars” of this research because they agreed to be interviewed multiple times as they finished their careers, officially retired,In this episode, you'll discover: The “work” of retiring and how to approach the necessary tasks in a way that increases the likelihood of a smooth transition into a satisfying retirement life. The major identity challenges people face in retirement, and some creative ways you can meet those challenges. The upheavals to personal and professional relationships that can occur during this life transition and how you can maintain and build a mutually supportive relationship network post-retirement. About Teresa M. Amabile:  Teresa M. Amabile is the Edsel Bryant Ford Professor of Business Administration, Emerita, at Harvard Business School. Her most recent book, Retiring: Creating a Life That Works for You, presents insights from a decade of research on the psychological, social, and life restructuring challenges of retiring. Her colleagues Lotte Bailyn, Marcy Crary, Douglas T. Hall, and Kathy E. Kram collaborated on that work. Before turning her research interests into retirement transition, Teresa devoted over 40 years to researching creativity and innovation. Extending that work, she studied how everyday life inside organizations can influence people and their creativity by affecting inner work life - the confluence of motivation, emotions, and perceptions. The findings of that research appear in her coauthored book with Steven Kramer, The Progress Principle: Using Small Wins to Ignite Joy, Engagement, and Creativity at Work. Teresa's work has appeared in over 100 scholarly journal articles and a variety of other outlets, including Harvard Business Review. She has presented her work to audiences in a variety of settings, including Pixar, Genentech, TEDx Atlanta, Apple, Pfizer, and the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Just a few years ago, historian and activist Dr. Ibram X. Kendi seemed to be everywhere. At the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, Kendi became one of the leading voices on racism in America—and particularly what he described as antiracism. But over the last few years, as a backlash grew against the BLM movement, Kendi also came under attack. His ideas urging people to be actively antiracist were often the target of conservative critics fighting against DEI policies and the teaching of critical race theory. Kendi was also accused of mismanaging an antiracism center at Boston University, which laid off much of its staff before closing last month (BU cleared Kendi of financial mismanagement.)  On this week's More To The Story, Kendi responds to the criticism he faced at BU, argues that the Trump administration's policies are harming both white and Black Americans, and discusses Malcolm Lives!, his new book for young readers about Malcolm X.Producer: Josh Sanburn with help from Zulema Cobb and Julia Haney | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Digital producer: Nikki Frick | Deputy Executive Producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al Letson Donate today at Revealnews.org/more Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at Revealnews.org/weekly Follow us on Instagram and Bluesky Listen: Black in the Sunshine State (Reveal)Read: I'm Racist.

Though today’s energy transition is often framed as new, it follows patterns we’ve seen before. Cutler Cleveland of Boston University’s Institute for Global Sustainability explores the historical context of today’s shift. --- Today’s shift to carbon-free power is commonly called “the energy transition,” yet the label can suggest that this is the first, or only, transformation of its kind. Throughout history, societies have moved from one dominant energy source to another, with each transformation bringing profound economic, social, and environmental change. On the podcast, we explore how today’s energy transition compares to those of the past, while noting that—despite decades of investment and policy support—we’re still in the early stages of moving toward a net-zero carbon system. Why is this transition taking so long? Why does it feel more politically and socially charged than previous ones? And are our current anxieties about energy jobs, community impacts, and planetary livability really new? Cutler Cleveland, associate director of Boston University’s Institute for Global Sustainability, brings a historical lens to energy systems and explores what makes this moment in energy history both familiar and unprecedented. Cutler Cleveland is a professor in the Department of Earth & Environment at Boston University, and associate director of the university’s Institute for Global Sustainability.

Today Razib talks to David  Gress, a Danish historian. The son of an American literary scholar and a Danish writer, he grew up in Denmark, read Classics at Cambridge, and then earned a Ph.D. in medieval history from Bryn Mawr College in the US in 1981. During a fellowship form 1982-1992 at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, he published on Cold‑War strategy, German political culture, and Nordic security. He has been a visiting fellow and lecturer at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, fellow at the Danish Institute of International Affairs, an assistant professor of Classics at Aarhus University, and professor of the history of civilization at Boston University. He co‑directed the Center for the Study of America and the West at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia and remains a senior fellow of the Danish free‑market think tank CEPOS while writing a regular column for Jyllands‑Posten. His breakthrough book, From Plato to NATO: The Idea of the West and Its Opponents (1998), argues that Western success sprang from a hard‑edged fusion of Roman order, Germanic liberty, Christian morality, and Smithian economics, rather than being a single disgraceful arc from Greco‑Roman‐paganism to secular Enlightenment that bypassed the Middle Ages. Razib asks Gress how he would have written Plato to NATO today, more than 25 years later, and he says he would have emphasized Christianity's role in creating a unified Western culture out of Greco-Roman and Germanic diversity more. Gress also reiterates that he does not deny the Greek foundation of Western Civilization, but rather, his work was a corrective to a very thin and excessively motivated and partisan narrative that stripped out vast periods of European history. They also discuss Gress' own own peculiar identity, the son of an American, born to a Danish mother, raised in Denmark who converted to Catholicism as an adult, and how that all fits into a broader European identity. They also discuss the impact of mass immigration on the national identities of Europe in the last generation, and Gress' opinions as to the European future. Razib also asks Gress about the role that evolutionary ideas may have in shaping human history, and how his own views may have changed since From Plato to NATO. They also discuss when it is plausible to say that the West was a coherent idea, and whether the Protestant Reformation was the beginning of the end for the unitary civilization that was Latin Christendom.

President Trump is once again threatening tariffs against friendly countries and foes alike! While many are concerned about the President's latest round of tariff rates that have reached their highest level since 1910, inflation has remained fairly stable this year. While inflation is up, it's not as high as many economists expected when Trump first started rolling out tariffs. Gregory Stoller, professor at Boston University's Questrom School of Business joined us to discuss Trump's tariffs and the current state of the U.S. economy.

This is episode 230, From Knysna's Burning Forests to Tolstoy's War and Peace: The World in 1869. Globally, the end of the sixth decade of the 19th Century was full of fire and brimbstone, and some technology, social change, significant moments. The construction of the the Port Nolloth-O'okiep railway line is one notable tech development, but on the down side, the Southern Cape experienced a devastating fire that began in early February in the Meiringspoort area of the Swartberg Mountains, destroying numerous homesteads and ancient yellowoods. More about this in a few minutes. IN the United States, Elizabeth Cady Stanton testified before the U.S. Congress, thus becoming the first woman to do so, and later in 1869, Stanton and Susan B. Anthony formed the National Woman Suffrage Association. Sainsbury's opened in Drury Lane in London in May, Boston University was founded in the same month. A month later, John Hyatt patented celluloid in Albany New York, a product created by mixing nitrocellulose and camphor — thus creating the basis for the coming film revolution. Like all good ideas, Hyatt had actually bought the original patent from Englishman Alexander Parkes who couldn't figure out how to make money from his invention. It's amazing how many inventions were co-opted by entrepreneurs after the inventor struggled to make a buck out of a good idea. Take the common computer mouse, invented by Stanford Research Unit student Douglas Engelbart in the early 1960s. In the late 1970s, almost two decades after the mouse's invention, Apple's Steve Jobs saw a mouse being demonstrated along with what was called graphical user interface, GUI, at Xerox labs in Palo Alto California. November the 17 however, was probably one of the most significant dates in the calendar when it came to the Cape, because that was the date that the Suez Canal was completed. For the first time in history, ships could now sail through the canal, linking the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, shortening the voyages between Europe and the far east by months. In Cape Town, there was fear and loathing about the Canal. And so, to South Africa, let's retrace our steps to February 1869. It began, as such stories often do, with a wisp of smoke on the horizon. According to the local newspapers, the fire that would become known ominously as the Great Fire of 1869 was first spotted on the 8th February. The conditions were perfect for a catastrophe. Southern Cape berg winds, searing, north-westerly to north-easterly gusts, swept down from the heights. Born of a low-pressure system sliding from west to east, they could reach gale-force strength, tearing through valleys like invisible predators. By the time the flames were first seen near Knysna, the air shimmered with heat, the humidity was almost non-existent, and the vegetation which was parched after years of relentless drought, stood waiting, tinder-dry.But in February 1869, the fire dominated every horizon. From its first sparks, it began a horrifying march: sweeping west towards Swellendam, east to Uitenhage, and threading through the Langkloof valley north of the Outeniqua Mountains. Then, inexorably, it spilled down towards the coast, devouring all in its path, Great Brak River, Victoria Bay, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay.

In this compelling episode of Endo Voices, Dr. Marcus Johnson engages in a rich and inspiring conversation with two influential leaders in endodontic education, Dr. Andre Mickel, Chair at Case Western Reserve University, and Dr. Sami Chogle, Chair at Boston University. With deep humility, Dr. Mickel reflects on his path to endodontics—shaped by a global upbringing and the quiet mentorship of Dr. Jefferson Jones—culminating in his leadership role and recognition as a Distinguished Alumni of Case Western. Dr. Chogle shares his own nontraditional journey, guided by unexpected mentors who saw promise where he once saw uncertainty, underscoring the transformative power of belief and support. Together, they speak with reverence about the role of mentorship in cultivating excellence, emphasizing that true leadership lies in empowering others to grow through their own strengths.

A massive international study just proved what we've suspected for decades, glyphosate causes cancer even at doses the European Union considers "safe."In today's episode, I'm breaking down the results of the Global Glyphosate Study, led by major institutions including the Ramazzini Institute in Italy, Boston University, and universities across the globe. Over 1,000 rats were tested, with control groups receiving zero glyphosate and three other groups receiving amounts equivalent to what the EU deems safe for human consumption. The results are devastating: all groups exposed to glyphosate developed tumors and cancers, with leukemia being the most prevalent, especially in rats exposed during the prenatal stage.This isn't some fringe research. This is an international coalition of credible universities providing evidence that glyphosate infiltrates our entire food system and causes cancer. Meanwhile, Bayer and Monsanto continue trying to get immunity laws passed across the United States, claiming farmers can't grow food without glyphosate. But here's the truth: regenerative and organic farming doesn't require synthetic pesticides, it's just that we've destroyed our soil with decades of chemical agriculture.The solution isn't just individual action (though I'll share practical steps you can take), it's systemic change. We need to call our representatives and demand two things: no liability shields for pesticide companies, and government grants to help farmers transition to regenerative agriculture. This is about more than just our personal health - it's about saving our entire food system.In today's episode, we're chatting about: • The shocking results of testing 1,000+ rats with "safe" levels of glyphosate • Why pesticide companies are fighting for legal immunity across the US • How glyphosate exposure during pregnancy increases childhood leukemia risk • Practical steps to reduce glyphosate exposure in your home and diet • Why we need systemic change, not just individual action, to solve this crisisFree: Top 25 Toxins to AvoidGet on the Toxin Free in 3 Waiting List

Jamil Zaki earned his degree in Cognitive Neuroscience from Boston University, obtained a Ph.D. in Psychology from Columbia, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Harvard Center for Brain Science. He is currently a professor of Psychology and director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab, where he has become an international authority on empathy, which he describes not as an innate trait but as one that can be trained through practices ranging from meditation to compassionate attention to others. His research and science communication work, which he leads through the platform The People's Science, have been recognized by organizations such as the Society for Neuroscience, APA, APS, and Autism Speaks.   In addition to publishing over 100 scientific articles and being a regular contributor to outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Scientific American, Zaki is also the author of books such as The War for Kindness (2019) and Hope for Cynics (2024), in which he defends values like empathy, understanding, and emotional communication almost as acts of resistance: “We all need to think about our capacity to connect with others — especially those who are different from us — as an act of resistance, a way to fight back against the popular discourse that is dividing us and destroying our culture.” Zaki reminds us that in a world as polarized as ours, cultivating hope means choosing to trust — and that this decision, both human and radical, can transform our relationships, societies, and cultures.  

This episode is a first for Decoder Ring: a live show, recorded at the WBUR Festival in Boston, Massachusetts. Given the setting, we decided to take on a Boston-based cultural mystery: namely, the “Boston movie.” Beginning in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Hollywood has churned out a whole cycle of films drenched in Beantown's particularities, crimes, crops, class conflicts, and accents, from The Departed to The Town. Why does a city smaller than El Paso or Jacksonville loom so large in the cinematic imagination? Why does Boston have a movie subgenre all its own? What makes a Boston movie a Boston movie? With the help of three guests—film critic Ty Burr; Lisa Simmons, founder of the Roxbury International Film Festival; and Boston University linguist Danny Erker—we look closely at the history and heyday of the Boston movie: how The Friends of Eddie Coyle set the template, Good Will Hunting shoved the door wide open, and Mystic River ushered in an imperial phase. We discuss the importance of race and class to the Boston movie and the city itself, the role of homegrown movie stars like Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg, and, of course, the best and worst of Boston accents on film. This episode of Decoder Ring was produced by Willa Paskin and Max Freedman. Our team also includes Katie Shepherd and supervising producer Evan Chung. Merritt Jacob is Slate's Technical Director.  If you have any cultural mysteries you want us to decode, please email us at DecoderRing@slate.com, or leave a message on our hotline at 347-460-7281.
