Hour one of DJ & PK for June 15, 2026: Recapping the weekend in sports David Locke, Utah Jazz and SEG Media Chancellor Johnson, Big 12
Spoiler alert: this week we're analyzing the Twilight Zone episode “The Obsolete Man.” Romney Wordsworth enters a cold, dark courtroom What are the charges? One count of professing to the vocation of a librarian, and the more serious charge of being obsolete–no longer useful to the State. You see, if you can no longer be of service to the State, you can no longer be of service to anyone. But, despite the thundering of the Chancellor atop his pulpit of hate, Mr. Wordsworth will hold on to his integrity and keep his head high through his sentencing. He shall be liquidated at midnight, but how it happens is a bit of a mystery. However, it will be televised for the world to see. And when the Chancellor himself shows up to bid Mr. Wordsworth adieu, things get interesting. On this episode of KOI: A Twilight Zone Show, we're going to be discussing whether or not we are heading to a place where men shall be obsolete; we'll ask why it's so disturbing for the State that Wordsworth is a librarian; and I'll reveal my moment of awe, a look into why I avoid telling my students what to think. So, grab your keys, and let's open up this door to the fifth dimension. Want to support the KOI show, get extra content, and give money to two awesome charities at the same time?

Hour four of DJ & PK for June 12, 2026: Chancellor Johnson, Big 12 Host Chris Vannini, senior writer for the Athletic Feedback of the Day
Chancellor Johnson, Big 12 host, joins DJ & PK to break down Darryn Peterson and AJ Dybantsa. Chancellor also talks on Texas Tech and Brendan Sorsby's injunction.
Belfast is burning — and the government's answer is to crack down on you for talking about it. A second night of disorder gripped the city after knife-attack suspect Hadi Alodid, a Sudanese national, was granted asylum via a Tory fast-track scheme requiring nothing more than a ten-page questionnaire. No face-to-face interview. No proper vetting. Just a tick-box exercise — and five years' leave to remain.Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by former senior military intelligence officer Philip Ingram, who warns that foreign powers — Russia, China, Iran — are actively stoking division on British streets, and that the rioting in Belfast is exactly the kind of domestic chaos they want to see. Meanwhile, only one asylum seeker has been returned to Ireland since 2020, despite a formal agreement to do so, as people-smuggling gangs exploit the open Irish border with impunity.Then, in a bombshell moment live on air, news breaks that Defence Secretary John Healey has resigned — unable to secure the funding Britain desperately needs to defend itself. Sir Ian Duncan Smith calls it out bluntly: a Chancellor blocking the Defence Investment Plan, a Prime Minister too weak to overrule her, and a nation sleepwalking into the most dangerous geopolitical moment since the 1930s. Ships tied up in port. No Royal Navy presence in the Mediterranean. And a government more concerned with appeasing its own backbenchers than protecting the realm.The message is clear — our borders are open, our defences are crumbling, and the real crime, according to this government, is noticing.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM. Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Y&R spoilers expect further drama ensues as Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian) chooses to retire from his rockstar life and stay in Genoa City, causing a stir among his friends and family. Meanwhile, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) expresses her approval of Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) and Sienna Bacall's (Tamara Braun) relationship.

The upcoming days will see Victor's business decisions causing a ripple effect within the Newman family. As the week progresses, Victor's plan to have Matt spy on Cane gains momentum, causing further tension.

Imagine you are in the circus, watching a tightrope walker who's been on the sauce.He sways, the crowd gasps, he sways again, more gasps, and yet somehow he doesn't fall. This goes on and on and eventually you get bored watching. That, it seems to me, is Britain.Public debt is now knocking on £3 trillion. (Remember you could have spent a million pounds every day since Jesus was born and still not have spent a trillion - that's how incomprehensible a sum a trillion is). Interest payments now run at over £110 billion a year - more than we spend on education. Debt-to-GDP hovers around 100%. Growth is wilted. Productivity is like blancmange. Taxes are everywhere and record-breaking. Waste and bloat and bureaucracy are rampant.But the political response to every problem is the same: spend more.Despite all of this, like our inebriated tight rope walker, sterling refuses to drop. The pound trades around $1.35. The gilt market continues to function. The bond vigilantes, whoever these mystical people are, appear to be away at lunch with Lord Lucan..Why?The answer begins with a simple but often overlooked fact that currencies are not valued absolutely, but relatively.You look at Britain's fiscal position and conclude the pound must fall, but against what?It's not like the US isn't running unthinkable deficits. Interest payments are exploding there too. The eurozone is if anything more trapped in low growth than we are. Japan's debt burden is legendary. Never mind the oil, Canada is a basket case. Australian regulation is doing its best to revive the traditions of the penal colony and China has its own economic and demographic headaches.All currencies are crapThen there are interest rates. Britain still offers relatively attractive yields. Ten-year gilts yield around 5%. That may be painful for the Chancellor, whatever her name is, but it is attractive to those looking for income. Japan, the US and most of Europe offer less. Higher interest rates support the pound. They attract computerised capital from around the world, which buys sterling to get the yield.London remains a financial centre, albeit it one in over-regulated decline. There is still some rule of law and some respect for property rights. The UK is not yet Zimbabwe, Turkey or Venezuela, even if it may feel that way. A country can be badly governed for a surprisingly long time before capital completely loses confidence.However, none of the underlying problems have actually been fixed, nor are they going to be fixed. We are still spending £48,000 per household through the state. You'll get greater productivity out of a plate of blancmange. Taxes are not coming down. We are locked in promise, spend, borrow, tax, repeat.Here's another possibility. The tightrope walker may never fall off. But with each step, the tightrope itself gets closer to the ground.The pound has lost over 40% of its purchasing power just since 2020. In 2007 a pound cost $2.10, so we are down a third against another unit which in itself is hopeless. Measured against the constant that is gold, the pound has fallen over 95% since the Gordon Brown sales of 1999.Here are those declines visualised.The framing is all wrong. The collapse is not sudden but ongoing. Maybe we don't get a dramatic crisis. No Black Wednesday, no run on the pound, no emergency press conference outside the Bank of England or wheelbarrows full of digital bank notes. Just more of this relentless decline. Every year a bit more debt, a bit more printing, a bit more inflation, another 7% loss of purchasing power, a bit more government spending, a bit more taxation, year after year, decade after decade. The tightrope gets lower and lower but nobody notices because we are all looking at the walker.Alf Ramsay was on £4,500 a year. Thomas Tuchel gets £5 million. That didn't happen over night. It was cumulative, incremental and compounded. The endgame remains debasementNot just in the UK but everywhere. In a democracy where politicians need votes they will ALWAYS choose inflation over austerity, spending over restraint and dilution over default. This is built in. The incentives are too powerful. They will sacrifice the currency to preserve the system.Nothing changes until the system itself changes.Perhaps the tightrope walker never falls. But the rope keeps inching lower and lower until one day it is running along the ground.The crowd applauds because there was no crash. Meanwhile the currency has lost another 98% of its value.That is where this is going, gradually but relentlessly. Not with a bang, but with a long, slow debasement.Sterling has been “collapsing” for decades, and it will “collapse' for many decades more, likewise dollars and euros and yen.The debasement of currency is not a new thing, though we have never seen it globally in the way it exists today. Gold has seen it happen many times before and it has survived every time. It will survive tsunamis, earthquakes and explosions. National currencies will not.Tell someone about this great postThanks for reading the Flying Frisby.Until next time,DominicIf you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe.

Daily Soap Opera Spoilers by Soap Dirt (GH, Y&R, B&B, and DOOL)
Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Young and the Restless spoilers promise major upheaval in Genoa City as Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) seizes control of Chancellor and appoints Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) as its head, much to the shock of the city's power players. Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is in for severe backlash for clandestinely handing over the reins of Chancellor to Lily, a move that was part of a deal struck with her in exchange for pretending she and her twins were kidnapped. Y&R spoilers indicate that the Newman family had been under the impression that Chancellor would return to their control once they reclaimed Newman Enterprises from Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford). The revelation that Victor had already transferred Chancellor to Lily leaves his family and others in Genoa City reeling. Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott), who thought she would run Chancellor once it returned to the family, is likely to be less upset than her daughter, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), who has been running Chancellor and is outraged by the news. Spoilers for Young and Restless reveal that Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), whose mother Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), sold Chancellor to Victor, is also in for a rude shock. Expected to make a comeback for five episodes during the July sweeps, Jill might get involved in the Chancellor saga again. Billy, who has always coveted Chancellor, might leverage his knowledge of Victor's deal with Lily to his advantage. More Y&R spoilers hint that Lily plans to bring her brother, Holden Novak (Nathan Owens), onboard at Chancellor, which could lead to accusations from Devon Winters (Bryton James) and Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic). With the news of Chancellor changing hands again and Cane at the helm, Genoa City is set for explosive drama.

AI implementation in higher education is often framed as a technology question. California State University treated it as change management with technology as the catalyst, rolling out ChatGPT Edu to 22 universities in 18 months while running the largest AI survey ever conducted at a single university system. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Dr. Leslie Kennedy, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Technology Services at the California State University Office of the Chancellor, about how the system designed and executed its generative AI implementation and what the Ahead of the Curve survey of 94,060 respondents reveals about AI adoption, faculty engagement, and student behavior. Drawing on her work co-leading the academic side of CSU's GenAI initiative, Kennedy explains the governance structure that made the rollout possible, the campus-level training infrastructure that scaled adoption across 22 universities, and the survey findings that pushed back on common assumptions about cheating, faculty resistance, and AI access gaps. This conversation is especially relevant for presidents, provosts, boards, and CIOs evaluating how to move from AI policy discussions to systemwide implementation. Topics Covered: The sequencing model behind CSU's 18-month AI rollout Findings from the largest AI survey ever conducted at a single university system Why faculty are the only group reporting both positive and negative AI impact How CSU funded faculty-led innovation through the AI Educational Innovations Challenge The communication challenges of running AI implementation across 22 independent campuses What CSU plans next: hackathons, embedded credentials, and domain-specific tools Real-World Examples Discussed: The AI Educational Innovations Challenge received 417 faculty applications against an expected 50, with 63 funded at $3M ChatGPT Edu deployment across all 22 CSU campuses, now at 225,000 active accounts Student hackathons run with IBM Watson, AWS, NVIDIA, and Cal Poly partners across multiple disciplines Faculty-led podcasts (My Robot Teacher from Cal Maritime and Unfixed from Chico State) that built peer-to-peer training resources Three Key Takeaways for Leadership: Sequencing matters more than budget or technology. Faculty resolution first, governance second, enterprise tool third, training and funded experimentation in parallel. Faculty carry more complexity than staff or students in AI implementation, and need different support, training cadence, and communication than other groups. Communication is a continuous operating discipline, not a launch campaign. The technology changes faster than any single training cycle. This episode offers a practical view of what large-scale AI implementation actually looks like in higher education, and why the institutions getting it right are treating it as change management work supported by technology rather than a technology rollout in search of governance.

William Taylor - Were the Chancellor of the Exchequer to have a nation ‘ordered' according to Paul's teaching in 1 Thessalonians 4:1 – 12 all her problems would disappear! The Christian way is God's way, and God's way is the best way. But what produces such a radical change in conduct? The engine that drives gospel living is the gospel – and gospel proclamation, not political lobbying, is the only means to achieve God's purposes.

(8) Timothy Ryback recounts how on January 30, 1933, Hitler is finally summoned to become Chancellor. The appointment hinges on a frantic, last-minute negotiation in Hindenburg's foyer with media mogul Alfred Hugenberg, who reluctantly joins the coalition after being cornered by Göring and Papen. Hugenberg immediately regrets the decision, realizing he has made the "biggest mistake" of his life. The resulting government photograph captures a stunned cabinet and an angry-looking Hitler. The era of political "hustling" ends as Hitler consolidates power, eventually murdering former rivals, including Strasser and Schleicher, during the 1934 Night of the Long Knives.1936?
(6) Timothy Ryback explains that by early 1933, the Nazi Party faces financial ruin, owing an estimated 90 million marks, and continues to lose ground in state elections. To exploit this weakness, Chancellor Kurt von Schleicherattempts to split the NSDAP by negotiating secretly with Gregor Strasser. Schleicher hopes to peel away the party's moderate faction to form a working majority without Hitler. Strasser, believing he is saving the movement rather than betraying Hitler, considers a role as Vice Chancellor. Despite mounting debt and electoral setbacks, Hitler maintains a belligerent front, eventually declaring a minor vote in Lippe as a revival of party fortunes.1940
What are the biggest problems facing the economy - and how might we set about dealing with them - from inequality to inflation, domestic growth to geopolitics? On Radio 4's weekly discussion programme, setting the cultural agenda every Monday, Tom Sutcliffe leads a conversation exploring what the solutions might look like.Jeremy Hunt's new book Can We Be Rich Again?: The Surprising Potential of Britain's Economy makes the case for optimism. The former Chancellor of the Exchequer outlines current problems – low growth, high public debt and taxes, stagnant living standards and divided politics, but he argues Britain still has a lot going for it - the tech sector, financial services and respected institutions. He says if the British economy is to grow again, politicians need to get better at delivering their plans.Mariana Mazzucato believes we need to rethink the way we manage economics with government and business working together to promote human flourishing. For her, the problems are deepening inequality, the climate crisis and declining public trust. She is Professor in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value at University College, London where she is the Founding Director of the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose. Her new book The Common Good Economy: A New Compass sets out how the economy could be designed to serve people and the planet better.And, how has the way that we think and talk about the global economy and national problems changed in recent years? Patrick Foulis is contributing editor at the Financial Times, a visiting scholar at the Hoover Institution and author of a forthcoming book on globalisation. Producer: Ruth Watts

As Dr. Kristine Strickland, Chancellor of Fletcher Technical Community College, proposes in this week's episode, strategic plans are important…if they don't sit on a shelf to collect dust. Rather, as Dr. Strickland shares, strategic plans must be “alive” in daily work and conversations to keep everyone in an organization aligned with the goals and priorities outlined in the strategic plan. Scorecards are one effective way to keep strategic plans alive and a central focus of daily work. Dr. Janet Pilcher and Dr. Strickland discuss how scorecards have kept Fletcher Technical Community College moving toward collective goals. They explore how scorecards help internal and external stakeholders understand where the organization is going, how they are tracking toward goals, and how the work of each individual in the organization supports goal attainment. Listen to hear how scorecards have helped Fletcher take their strategic plan “off the shelf.” Recommended Resources: Drive Student Achievement with Scorecards, Get Aligned: Strategic Plans, Scorecards, and Measures that Matter Follow Host Dr. Janet Pilcher on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetpilcher/

Resolution's National Conference in 2026 kicked off with our keynote session looking at the impact of AI in the justice system, including the benefits of being able to deliver justice more efficiency and the risk of it perpetuating bias that exists in the system. We wanted to find a topic that would give our audience lots to were privileged to be joined by The Honourable Mr Justice McKendrick and Professor Rosemary Hunter King Counsel (Lead author of the Harm Panel 2020 report and co-author of the Everyday Business report 2025). Judge tells us that the Chancellor of the High Court, the Rt Hon Lord Justice Birss is the lead Judge for Artificial Intelligence, with an allocated senior for criminal, civil and family justice. Mr Justice McKendrick is the lead judge for AI in family justice. The Judge makes the point that AI is transforming society, and justice needs to keep up with that development. The judiciary already has access to its own confidential AI system, and guidance was issued to the judiciary in October 2025: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Artificial-Intelligence-AI-Guidance-for-Judicial-Office-Holders-2.pdfThat system can summarise bundles, summarising judgments for litigants with special educational needs, AI to translate or transcript audio, as AI hallucination checker. However, judicial decisions always remain the responsibility of the Judge. In the same way that the High Court judiciary already have access to a judicial assistant, but decisions are made by the Judge. Rosemary explains that there are deliberate biases in the system which we all think is a good thing, for example the child's welfare being the paramount consideration is a form of bias. The concern therefore only arises in respect of biases that give a party an unjustified disadvantage. Rosemary gives example of the research in the Harm report about the ‘pro-contact culture', which is a form of bias. Rosemary makes the point that over-reliance on AI could lead to jurisprudential ossification i.e. continuing to use the determination that is already available rather than responding to adapting views. The Judge referred to a speech by The President of the King's Bench division https://www.judiciary.uk/speech-by-the-president-of-the-kings-bench-division-the-mayflower-lecture-2025/The difference between prediction and reasoning. That lecture goes on to look at the fact that AI is predicting based on past outcomes, whereas Judges are reasoning. Therefore, the Judge argues there is always a difference between the judicial outcome of reasoning to the outcome and AI predicting the likely outcome based on previous data. We went on to consider a number of judicial lectures including: the Master of the Rolls speech on Artificial Intelligence where the Master of the Rolls opined that incivil justice routine judicial decision-making could be informed or directed by machines https://www.judiciary.uk/speech-by-the-master-of-the-rolls-artificial-intelligence-and-the-judiciary/Lord Briggs, Justice of the Supreme Court https://supremecourt.uk/uploads/speech_lord_briggs_20052026_de46afe657.pdfFinally, we concluded with a discussion about the debate in the House of Lords about the future of financial remedy law. https://hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2025-11-10/debates/1492EA41-F82F-4148-A8AB-C0F8CB5B78B7/FinancialProvisionOnDivorce We conclude with wondering whether AI is going to fuel litigation and driving litigants to issue, or whether it will help litigants to find consensual solutions and remove unrealistic expectations, as yet it is impossible to know.
This is a short, special mini-episode I'm sharing because my friends at Elmbridge University (formerly Bridges Academy) let me know that enrollment is now open for the next cohort of their truly unique graduate program in cognitive diversity in education, and application deadlines are coming up in June.

Britain's public finances are under pressure. Public debt is high, borrowing remains high, and the government is spending far more on debt interest than in the past. Taxes are heading towards historic highs, while public services remain under strain and demand on the state continues to rise. In this episode, we set out the fiscal backdrop that will shape British politics over the coming years. Whoever is Prime Minister or Chancellor will face many of the same constraints: expensive borrowing, difficult spending choices and the need to get debt on a more sustainable path. Helen Miller is joined by IFS colleague Max Warner and Chris Giles, economics commentator at the Financial Times, to explain the state of the public finances, why borrowing costs matter, what the government's fiscal rules do, how realistic current spending plans are, and whether there is any room for a future government to do things differently.Become a member: https://ifs.org.uk/individual-membershipFind out more: https://ifs.org.uk/podcasts-explainers-and-calculators/podcasts Hosted on Acast.

An experimental cosmologist with 35 years of CMB research breaks down the curvature tension — and why the viral claim that "everything we know about cosmology is wrong" doesn't survive contact with the actual data. Subscribe if you want science with evidence, not speculation. Dr. Brian Keating is Chancellor's Distinguished Professor of Physics at UC San Diego and one of the leading experimental cosmologists working on the cosmic microwave background. He has spent three decades on experiments including BICEP, BICEP2, the Simons Array, and the Simons Observatory — the same data ecosystem at the center of this debate. We cover: why a statistical preference in one dataset is not the same as a discovery, what Planck actually measured and what its curvature signal does and doesn't mean, why combining CMB data with baryon acoustic oscillations changes the picture, the difference between geometry and topology that most explainers skip, and why science communicators who sensationalize real tensions do more damage than they realize. A clickable title and a photogenic host are not the same thing as a careful inference from the data. Key Takeaways: 00:00 A flat universe means the angles of any triangle in space sum to exactly 180° 02:10 Zero curvature is a unique number — it demands explanation, which is part of why inflation matters 04:45 Geometry describes how space behaves at scale; topology is a separate question most explainers conflate 07:30 Planck's curvature preference appears in some analyses — it is real, but it is also model-sensitive 10:00 A statistical preference within one dataset is not a confirmed result 12:20 Parameter degeneracy means changing one cosmological knob shifts others — results are not isolated 14:40 When Planck data is combined with baryon acoustic oscillation data, the case for curvature weakens 17:00 The honest summary: the curvature tension is worth watching, but nowhere near decisive 18:30 Sensationalizing legitimate tensions trains the public to think science only matters when it's exploding ———
On this episode I talk to a man who's dedicated his life to serving and protecting the community. From the challenges of law enforcement to the real conversations people don't always get to hear, we're sitting down with Officer Chancellor Van Houten from the Beaumont Police Department to talk about the job, the sacrifices, the mindset, and the human side behind the badge.

DO RACHEL REEVES AND KEIR STARMER DESERVE TO BE HECKLED? #RachelReeves #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics #JonGaunt #CommonSense #LaborHypocrisy #GeneralElectionNow #BritishValues Rachel Reeves got a reality check today! A "white van man" heckled the Chancellor at a petrol station, and now the political class is in a total meltdown. The pearl-clutching commentators are out in force, whining about "civility" and "manners" in UK politics. Rachel even had the patronising cheek to say that the man heckling her "wasn't a very British thing to do!" Really, Rach? Since when did you become the arbiter of what is or isn't British? I'd say standing up to a hypocrite and speaking your mind is about as British as it gets! I'll tell you what manners are, Rach! Manners are NOT lying on your CV. Manners are NOT lying in your manifesto. And manners are certainly NOT ripping off pensioners' fuel allowances while you sit smugly in Whitehall! If these hypocrites want to talk about manners, let's start with the basic decency of telling the truth to the British public. They want us to stay quiet while they dismantle the country? I don't think so. It's time to test this "stinking smug hypocrisy" with a General Election! HAVE YOUR SAY: Is heckling a legitimate form of protest when politicians stop listening? Or have we lost our way? I'll be reading your comments and reactions throughout the show—get stuck in!
The Starmer government has made another blunder after it emerged that sanctions are being relaxed on Russian oil processed through third countries. As a political row unfolded, Sam and Anne discuss the fallout. Plus, Westminster is buzzing with rumours of a possible Labour coronation before the summer. If events moved quickly, what might an Andy Burnham cabinet look like? Sam and Anne discuss the possible contenders for Chancellor and whether Labour could end up with a new Foreign Secretary. And as speculation grows over what Burnham's agenda as Prime Minister might be, two of Labour's most difficult dividing lines are back in focus: single-sex spaces and assisted dying.
Would a voluntary agreement between supermarket bosses and the Chancellor to cap the prices of food basics help those struggling on low incomes? Is the biggest threat to the UK now higher inflation or higher unemployment? And could Andy Burnham, as Prime Minister, take control of water and energy without destroying the public finances? Steph and Robert discuss Rachel Reeves' plans to protect living standards from Trump's Iran war shock, and try to work out what Andy Burnham means when he says his “Manchesterism” is the end of neoliberalism.

Online college has been around for years, but too many students still struggle to finish, transfer, or earn a degree without taking on debt. In this episode of Start the Week With Wisdom, Bridget Burns and Sarah Kuster sit down live at the ASU GSV Summit with Tade Oyen, Chancellor of Campus, to talk about a new model for community college, online learning, student success, and higher education innovation.Tade explains how Campus is inspired by the CUNY ASAP model, which helped improve graduation rates by giving students wraparound support, full-time enrollment, success coaching, and fewer financial barriers. Instead of relying on self-paced online courses, Campus uses live online classes, faculty from top universities, coaching, tutoring, laptops, and transfer pathways to help students move toward a bachelor's degree with little to no debt. This conversation is for higher education leaders, edtech founders, student success teams, community college advocates, and anyone asking how AI, online college, and flexible credentials are reshaping the future of higher education.You'll learn → Why live online learning can create more motivation and accountability for 17-to-27-year-old students→ How Campus supports working learners and students who may not have followed a traditional college path→ Why CUNY ASAP remains one of the strongest models for community college completion→ How AI is changing the way colleges think about degrees, credentials, transfer, and career readiness.Learn more about the UIA by visiting:WebsiteLinkedInTwitterYouTubeFacebookThis week's episode is sponsored by Mainstay, a student retention and engagement tool where you can increase student and staff engagement with the only platform consistently proven to boost engagement, retention, and wellbeing.

Is the "Iron Triangle" of higher education—cost, quality, and access—officially under siege? In this episode of An Educated Guest, Todd Zipper sits down with Nick Dirks, President of the New York Academy of Sciences and former Chancellor of UC Berkeley, to discuss the existential challenges facing modern universities and the scientific community.The conversation explores the "Experience Paradox" within the ivory tower. Nick reflects on his transition from a researcher in rural India to managing a $650 million faculty budget at Columbia, noting the systemic failure of the "mini-PhD" model that often prioritizes institutional prestige over student outcomes. They dive into why 50% of graduates are currently underemployed and how diversifying pathways—including the "California model" of community college transfers—could be the key to restoring the American degree's ROI.They also tackle the massive disruption of AI in Science. While AI is accelerating breakthroughs in drug discovery and data processing, Nick warns of a looming crisis in peer review and scientific integrity. From the creation of the International Science Reserve to the political pressures of leading a public flagship university, this episode offers a rare, high-level view of the forces reshaping how we learn and how we discover.
Edward Chancellor joins Kai Wu on the latest episode of the Intangible Economy to discuss what financial history and capital cycle theory can teach investors about today's AI boom.
