Two conversations that cut to the heart of what workers and retirees are navigating right now — one about what happens when an employer decides union members are expendable, and one about finding the right healthcare coverage when the landscape keeps shifting. The University of Maryland, College Park, laid off more than 80 workers earlier this summer. More than 80% were union members. The university's nearly billion-dollar endowment went untouched. So did the president's $1 million-plus annual salary and the multi-million-dollar coaching contracts for coaches with losing records. And almost immediately after the layoffs were announced, the university lifted its hiring freeze. AFSCME Local 1072 President Todd Holden, union steward Sarah Eppley and laid-off member Sarah Grun describe what happened, why the local filed 40 grievances covering workers laid off while on FMLA, pursuing grievances or active in union organizing and how to sign the AFSCME toolkit letter to the University System of Maryland at afscmemd.org. Then, BCBS NLO Executive Director Merrilee Logue and BCBS Association Medicare market analyst Duncan Lawson discuss a Medicare Advantage landscape that has become more complicated for union retirees to navigate. For the second consecutive year, more than 2 million Medicare Advantage consumers had their plans terminated and even more saw their benefits reduced. Logue and Lawson explain which plans and regions have been most affected, why Medicare Advantage remains the most popular retiree coverage option despite the changes and what union members approaching 65 need to know to find coverage that fits — including how to work with a broker, check union fund coverage and take advantage of special enrollment periods. Visit afscmemd.org for more on the AFSCME Local 1072 fight and bcbs.com/MedicareAdvantage for Medicare Advantage resources.

À Londres, un établissement secondaire a ouvert une classe sans professeurs, tous les contenus pédagogiques sont délivrés par des IA via des logiciels dédiés. Au Royaume-Uni, on teste l'enseignement 100% IA. Face au bouleversement de l'irruption des IA génératives dans la vie des élèves, certains acteurs de l'éducation prennent les devants. À Londres, un établissement privé a ouvert une classe où les cours sont entièrement assurés par une intelligence artificielle. Les élèves y préparent les équivalents du brevet et du bac, sans profs mais avec des coachs éducatifs. Reportage au David Game College, Marie Billon. La langue polonaise est la championne de l'intelligence artificielle À première vue, l'anglais et le chinois peuvent sembler prépondérants dans le domaine… Mais en termes d'efficacité, les choses sont beaucoup nuancées. La langue la mieux comprise par l'IA est une langue complètement indéchiffrable par les non-initiés, le polonais. C'est la conclusion inattendue d'une étude réalisée par des chercheurs du College Park de Microsoft à l'université du Maryland, et de l'université du Massachusetts. À Varsovie, les explications d'Adrien Sarlat. Le vin symbole de résistance en Ukraine En Ukraine, la guerre se poursuit depuis plus de 4 ans et a dévasté l'économie, mais au sud du pays, des viticulteurs continuent de produire... De nouveaux domaines ont même vu le jour, car dans un élan patriotique les Ukrainiens veulent boire… local. Cerise Sudry Ledu nous emmène sur le vignoble de Beykush, près de Mykolaïv, où le travail continue alors que les vignes ne sont qu'à une dizaine de kilomètres des positions russes.

The often extremely quotable Hannah Arendt once wrote that “the French Revolution, which ended in disaster, has made world history, while the American Revolution, so triumphantly successful, has remained an event of little more than local importance.”My guest Richard Bell emphatically disagrees. In The American Revolution and the Fate of the World (Penguin, 2025), Bell argues that the Revolution was global from the very beginning. It drew participants from multiple continents, reshaped patterns of migration and trade, altered imperial policy from Canada to India, and inspired movements for liberty around the world. What Americans often remember as a national story was, in reality, a global convulsion.Richard Bell is Professor of History at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and Their Astonishing Odyssey Home, was the focus of a conversation on this podcast that was published on December 30th, 2019.

In Race, Class, and Affirmative Action: College Admissions in a New Era (Harvard Education Press, 2026), Julie J. Park offers deft analysis of the changes to college admissions and campus life since the US Supreme Court ruled to restrict race-conscious policies in two 2023 cases: Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard and SFFA v. the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Park offers clear explanations of the rulings, their historical context, and their implications for higher education policy. She highlights how the Supreme Court still allows campuses to consider the role of race in students' experiences and that numerous tools to advance diversity in admissions remain. In this lively, timely work, Park points out the swift and stark post-ruling shifts in campus demographics and grapples with questions of how to push toward a more equitable admissions system. She investigates alternative initiatives, such as test-optional and test-free admissions, percent plans, and others, weighing their merits and drawbacks. She also examines inequality affecting college applications themselves and offers ideas for reform. Integrating up-to-the minute research on admissions, standardized testing, enrollment management, and the campus racial climate, Park recommends actions that can advance equity-oriented access to higher education despite the current restrictions on race-conscious admissions. Park ends with a call to campus leaders, policymakers, and practitioners to reimagine selective college admissions and attendance and offers a glimpse of what the future could hold. Julie J. Park is a professor in the College of Education at the University of Maryland, College Park. An expert on race and diversity in higher education, she served as a consulting expert in the landmark case Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard on the side of Harvard.

She investigates alternative initiatives, such as test-optional and test-free admissions, percent plans, and others, weighing their merits and drawbacks. She also examines inequality affecting college applications themselves and offers ideas for reform. Integrating up-to-the minute research on admissions, standardized testing, enrollment management, and the campus racial climate, Park recommends actions that can advance equity-oriented access to higher education despite the current restrictions on race-conscious admissions. Park ends with a call to campus leaders, policymakers, and practitioners to reimagine selective college admissions and attendance and offers a glimpse of what the future could hold. Julie J. Park is a professor in the College of Education at the University of Maryland, College Park. An expert on race and diversity in higher education, she served as a consulting expert in the landmark case Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard on the side of Harvard.

In Race, Class, and Affirmative Action: College Admissions in a New Era (Harvard Education Press, 2026), Julie J. Park offers deft analysis of the changes to college admissions and campus life since the US Supreme Court ruled to restrict race-conscious policies in two 2023 cases: Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard and SFFA v. the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Park offers clear explanations of the rulings, their historical context, and their implications for higher education policy.

Politics affects your pockets.In this powerful and polarizing episode of Inside the Vault, Ash Cash sits down with former Dalton, Illinois Mayor and current South Fulton Commissioner candidate Tiffany Henyard for an unfiltered conversation about power, voter suppression, party loyalty, smear campaigns, and what it really means to lead under pressure.Tiffany opens up about:• Why she left the Democratic Party• The caucus election controversy she says cost her re-election• Why she's running as a Republican in a majority-Black district• Whether Black voters should rethink voting as a “bloc”• Redistricting, voter ID, and political division• Why she believes politics has become “PoliTricks”• The economic issues impacting South Fulton right now• Property taxes, public safety, education, and economic development• What she would do differently if elected CommissionerThis is not a surface-level conversation.This episode challenges assumptions about party alignment, identity politics, and whether emotional voting is hurting our communities.Agree or disagree — you need to hear it.

Persuasion seems conspicuously absent from our politics.  Not shouting, denouncing, or trying to convince the "other side" that they're wrong, evil, or both.  But the good faithed attempt to reach the hearts, minds, and emotions of others and persuade them to our point of view.  Why?  Why is persuasion so hard?  And is it even possible to persuade in an era of political polarization?   Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis welcomes fellow "Josh"—Josh Bandoch—on the show to discuss his latest book, How to Get What You Want: Mastering the Art and Science of Persuasion, and to explore how persuasion can engage with how the human brain is actually wired.   About Josh Bandoch Bio from Illinois Policy   Josh Bandoch is the Head of Policy at the Illinois Policy Institute.   His research focuses on empowering people to rise out of poverty, increasing social mobility, improving housing affordability, and removing barriers to opportunity (e.g. burdensome regulations). His work has appeared in popular outlets like National Review, Real Clear Policy, RealClearMarkets, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Crain's Chicago Business, The Washington Examiner, The Washington Times, and Discourse, as well as peer-reviewed journals like Political Studies. He regularly appears in the media to discuss these and other policy issues, and speaks regularly at local and national events.   He is the author of The Politics of Place: Montesquieu, Particularism, and the Pursuit of Liberty (University of Rochester Press, 2017), which has received numerous positive reviews.

Wines We're Drinking: Jessica: Concho Orange Wine (Georgia the country) — light, stone fruit, hints of tart apricot Analia: Argentine mate — a traditional herbal tea drunk throughout the day in Argentina What does it actually take to make a bold move? Whether you're thinking about leaving the country, pivoting your career, or just trying to figure out what the heck comes next, Dr. Analia Gomez-Vidal is the person you want in your corner. As a Latina podcast, we love telling first-gen professional stories, and Analia's is one for the books. Born in Buenos Aires to a working-class family of Spanish immigrants, Analia grew up with education as her ticket forward — and she ran with it. We're talking a BA in economics, a journalism minor, two master's degrees, a PhD in government and politics from the University of Maryland, certifications in professional coaching, and six languages. Six. And she almost got kicked out of college for failing Calculus 3 three times. That's the kind of real we love here. Today she's the founder and CEO of AGV Services LLC and the host of the Lucky To Be Here podcast, where she helps people — especially international students, immigrants, and early-to-mid-career professionals — stop tweaking their resumes and start actually understanding their story. In a world where everything we knew is crumbling (her words, and honestly, same), Analia's work is about finding your anchor from the inside out. This is a Latiné wine, Chicana stories kind of episode that hits different right now. Come for the chisme, stay for the career therapy. In This Episode We Cover: [00:00] Intro and welcome to Dr. Analia Gomez-Vidal [00:35] What AGV Services is all about — bold moves built from within [03:04] What's in our glasses: Concho Orange Wine from Georgia (the country!) and Argentine mate [09:34] Growing up in Buenos Aires — a working-class immigrant community from Galicia, Spain [12:00] The eldest daughter experience: conformity, rebellion, and finding pockets of freedom [13:00] Writing, poetry, and using education as a path to freedom [18:36] The famous "bye mom, pick me up later" story from age 3 (and its airport reprise) [23:18] Learning six languages starting at age 12 — Spanish, English, German, French, Portuguese, and Mandarin [27:04] The bilingual experience in the U.S. and the harm in "othering" people for their accents [30:05] From economics degree to journalism minor — the chip on her shoulder about math [33:15] Participating in Accounting Olympics and Economics Olympics (yes, really) [36:00] Nearly getting kicked out of college — passing Calculus 3 on the third try with everything on the line [39:54] Getting approached to write as a freelance journalist for a Buenos Aires newspaper before graduation [42:00] The multi-year process of applying to PhD programs in the U.S. as an international student [49:00] That first night in College Park — sitting in her apartment and crying, wondering if she made the right move [53:00] What brought her to create AGV Services LLC and the Lucky To Be Here podcast [56:40] Why the resume is becoming a safety blanket — and what to focus on instead in the AI era [01:00:15] What AGV Lab is: a membership community for career clarity ($99/quarter) [01:04:00] How the current political, economic, and AI climate is showing up in her clients' lives [01:10:30] Who she works with: mostly millennials, ages 22-40, at pivotal career crossroads [01:12:30] Why your job can't fulfill everything — and how to build a full life beyond your title [01:19:13] Analia's closing message: a permission slip to wonder what else is possible Connect with Dr. Analia Gomez-Vidal: Website: agvservicesllc.com Instagram & Threads: @AGVServicesLLC Podcast: Lucky To Be Here Patreon: patreon.com/luckytobhere Connect with Wine & Chisme: Website: thewineandchismepodcast.com Instagram: @thewineandchisme TikTok: @thewineandchisme YouTube: Wine & Chisme Podcast Newsletter: Spill the Chisme via Flodesk We not only work the land, we own the brands.

From the moment I began working with the New Books Network, my vision was bigger than author interviews. I envisioned my platform one where people could connect what they were hearing about the past to their own lives in the present and, in that way, perhaps see themselves as an important part of a continually-evolving community. Through this work, I have been fortunate to connect, not only authors, but also with readers and thinkers who, like me, are committed to the preservation and expansion of our collective archive. Raymond Williams is one such person. Raymond has a PhD in Government and Politics from the University of Maryland, College Park. He was an executive board member of Black Readers Con, and is currently an administrator of the Black Men Read Book Club sponsored by Resist Booksellers. I was thrilled to have Raymond on the podcast to talk about the creation of literary community around reading challenges, including those centering Zora Neale Hurston, James Baldwin, and, for 2026, what Raymond calls, “The 12 Lives Challenge.” Listen in as we discuss the work he is doing to cultivate an intellectually curious community of real-life readers in the virtual world.

For decades, most discussions of Israel and Palestine were framed around the eventual creation of a two-state solution. That effort has been dead for years. What has emerged in its place is what the political scientists Marc Lynch and Shibley Telhami call the “one-state reality.” Their book on this — edited with Michael Barnett and Nathan Brown — came out before Oct. 7, 2023. Since Oct. 7, that reality has become further entrenched: There's been a record pace of settlement construction in the West Bank. Israel now occupies more than half the territory of Gaza. And Israel's push into Lebanon has displaced more than a million people. So what does it mean to reckon with Israel's one-state reality — to see the facts on the ground rather than the frames of the past? Shibley Telhami is the Anwar Sadat professor for peace and development at the University of Maryland, College Park. Marc Lynch is the director of the Project on Middle East Political Science at George Washington University. Lynch is the author, most recently, of “America's Middle East: The Ruination of a Region.” Mentioned: “Israel's One-State Reality” by Michael Barnett, Nathan Brown, Marc Lynch, and Shibley Telhami The One State Reality by Michael Barnett, Nathan J.
