This week, we share our first impressions of the updated 2026 Tesla Model Y. A smoother ride, upgraded interior, and quieter cabin are just some of the improvements in this refreshed all-electric SUV—but it's not without quirks. We break down its performance on our test track, the challenges with Tesla's delivery process, and our concerns about the vehicle's controls and so-called “Full Self-Driving” system. We also answer your questions about roomy, comfortable gas or hybrid alternatives with modern safety features, and explain how Consumer Reports buys and tests vehicles—including whether we pay MSRP.     More info on the 2026 Tesla Model Y here: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla/model-y/2026/overview/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   Join CR at https://CR.org/joinviaYT to access our comprehensive ratings for items you use every day.

  The dangers of Electro-Magnetic Fields — or “EMFs” — are now widely recognized as a serious 21st century health threat by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Consumer Reports, The Cleveland Clinic and independent researchers from Harvard, Columbia and Yale.In 2015, more than 190 independent scientists from 39 countries even got together to warn the public that “EMFs are potentially harmful to all life.” All around the world, these countries are taking action to protect their citizens (especially children) against these abusive levels of EMF pollution.The French, German and Spanish governments have even issued recommendations to ban WiFi from schools because of the developmental problems it could potentially cause in children.This might be because German research dating back from 2004 had found that just 24 hours of EMF exposure can induce more DNA damage than 1,600 chest x-rays.If you live in a nation that isn't all that concerned about your safety, how can you protect yourself?Nicolas Pineault, author of The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs, joins Dr. Friedman to share easy and cheap solutions to reduce dangerous EMF exposure by 95 percent... none of which include living off the grid without electricity or shredding your phone to pieces.

AI is transforming business at breakneck speed and most entrepreneurs are struggling to keep up. From clunky chatbots to overwhelming tech stacks, many founders and CEOs are wasting time and money chasing trends instead of building real, scalable solutions. And today's guest is here to explain how the future of AI is already reshaping the way we do business—and how to stay ahead of the curve. Andrew Amann is a serial entrepreneur who has founded 14 companies and successfully exited three of them. He's the CEO and co-founder of NineTwoThree Studio, an award-winning AI agency serving major brands like Consumer Reports, SimpliSafe, and Experian. With a background as a nuclear submarine engineer, Andrew brings a unique systems-thinking approach to helping business owners cut through the noise and implement AI solutions that drive real results. In this conversation, we explore why most companies are missing the mark with chatbots, the evolving landscape of content creation, and how leaders can harness AI agents to streamline operations, personalize services, and build lasting value. From managing global development teams to staying ahead of emerging trends, Andrew shares what it truly takes to scale with purpose in today's rapidly changing digital world. In this podcast interview, you'll learn:  The four phases of AI—and why most businesses are stuck in the wrong one. How workflow automation is replacing chatbots and changing the future of work. Why the most valuable skills come from working for someone else first. How CEOs should think about integrating AI to avoid costly mistakes. Why every CEO needs to understand MCPs and how to integrate them in their business. What the rise of AI means for content authenticity, deepfakes, and future-proofing your brand.

If you enjoy eating nuts – good for you! Nuts are healthy. But you might be surprised to hear just how healthy they are - and you don't have to eat very many to get the benefits. This episode begins with a look at a fascinating study on nuts that has been going on for decades. https://www.herbazest.com/news/nut-consumption-may-prolong-life “It's right on the tip of my tongue!” We have all had that experience of not being able to recall a word but feel like it is just out of reach. It's different than simply not being able to recall something because you have forgotten it. This phenomenon is something people actually study and since it is something that has happened to you, I am sure you will find this fascinating. My guest is Anne Cleary, a professor of psychology at Colorado State University. Her research examines odd memory phenomena like déjà vu and these tip of the tongue experiences. She is author of a book called Tip of the Tongue States: Retrieval, Metacognition, and Experience (https://amzn.to/4eLbuST) Are you good at making conversation? Do you know how to assert yourself without being argumentative? Do you tend to talk too much when less would be better? Do you really listen to the other person or just wait for your chance to talk? Being good at conversation is a critical skill and one of the real experts at it is here to help. Jefferson Fisher is a lawyer and sought after speaker on the topic of verbal communication – and he is author of the bestselling book The Next Conversation: Argue Less, Talk More (https://amzn.to/3IpnddR).

The 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is refreshed with more power, updated tech, and sharper performance. In this episode, we share our first impressions of a 228i xDrive purchased for our test program. From its 241-hp turbocharged engine and new dual-clutch transmission to its front-wheel-drive platform shared with the X1, X2, and Mini Countryman, we break down how it performed on our track. Plus, we evaluate the redesigned touchscreen interface and assess whether BMW's tech updates actually improve the driving experience.. We also answer viewer questions: Can different fuel grades mix at a single gas pump with one nozzle, how can you better compare car ratings on our website, and is a “better-than-average ride” in a sedan equivalent to the same rating in an SUV?   More info on the 2025 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe here: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/bmw/2-series-gran-coupe/2025/overview/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT   Join CR at https://CR.org/joinviaYT to access our comprehensive ratings for items you use every day.

Jill and Tom opened the show with a brief acknowledgment of the podcast's apparent popularity in Sweden. Amusingly, the show is described on Poddtroppen—a Swedish podcast download site—as a “Komedie.” Moving on, the hosts discussed yet another—massive—Ford recall. Tom suggests a reason why Ford might be in the trouble its in. Still in the first segment, the hosts dig into Volvo's recently announced decision to layoff 15-percent of its U.S. workforce. Next, Jill reviews the 2025 Subaru WRX tS, with manual transmission. In the second segment Jill and Tom welcome Jennifer Stockburger of Consumer Reports to the show. Jennifer discussed the Consumer Reports recently published Best Cars for Teens lists, and what went into creating them. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Saab!” quiz—which includes a Swedish-themed bonus question. And, as the show wraps up, Jill pledged to try and get passed Apple CarPlay.

In our post-truth era, how does an 85-year-old publication maintain trust while testing tomorrow's technology today?Phil Radford, President and CEO of Consumer Reports, brings a unique perspective to consumer advocacy, combining decades of environmental activism with rigorous product testing. From his early days fighting waste incinerators in Chicago to leading Greenpeace and increasing their revenue by 233%, Phil has consistently worked to create market conditions that favor sustainable products. At Consumer Reports, he's pioneering new testing methodologies for electric vehicles, battery safety, and charging infrastructure to help consumers make informed decisions about green technology.Under Phil's leadership, Consumer Reports is evolving beyond traditional product reviews to become a catalyst for sustainable innovation. The organization's independence—funded entirely by 5 million subscribers without advertising revenue—allows them to maintain objectivity while pushing manufacturers to create better, more durable products. Phil emphasizes that successful green technology adoption happens when products excel on the fundamentals consumers care about most: saving money, ensuring safety, lasting longer, and providing genuine utility rather than relying solely on environmental virtue.Phil Radford serves as President and CEO of Consumer Reports, bringing over two decades of environmental advocacy and organizational leadership to the role. Previously, he led Greenpeace USA as CEO, where he increased organizational revenue by 233% while working with nearly 100 major corporations to improve their environmental practices, including convincing tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Apple to commit to 100% clean energy. Phil's career began as a high school environmental justice activist in Chicago, fighting toxic waste incinerators in underserved communities. He founded Power Shift in 2001, pioneering clean energy financing solutions that helped scale solar adoption when global manufacturing was just 200 megawatts annually. Phil studied political science and business, combining his passion for environmental protection with strategic business acumen to drive systemic change in both policy and market adoption of sustainable technologies. In This Episode: (00:00) Introduction of guest Phil Radford(03:47) Phil's career journey from high school environmental activism(06:23) Shift to solar energy advocacy and Power Shift organization(10:28) Consumer Reports' age of adoption story and testing innovations(13:44) Building trust in a post-truth era through objective testing(17:13) Consumer priorities beyond environmental concerns and future outlookShare with someone who would enjoy this topic, like and subscribe to hear all of our future episodes, send us your comments and guest suggestions!About the show: The Age of Adoption podcast explores the monumental transition from a period of climate tech research and innovation – an Age of Innovation – to today's world in which companies across the economy are furiously adopting climate solutions - the Age of Adoption.

CR is testing the 2025 Buick Enclave Sport Touring, the new luxury 3-row SUV from GM positioned just below Cadillac. Built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, the new Enclave aims to combine upscale comfort with family-friendly practicality. But does it deliver real value in a crowded segment? And how does it stack up against competitors like the Toyota Highlander, Grand Highlander, and the Honda Pilot? We also answer viewer questions about niche tire sizes on some Toyota and Lexus vehicles (like the Prius and Crown Signia), and is it worth keeping a 2009 Toyota Highlander with over 250k miles, or is it time to find a replacement?   Join CR at https://CR.org/joinviaYT to access our comprehensive ratings for items you use every day.

Thousands of local grocery workers could be back on the picket lines by the end of the month, and a new investigation from Consumer Reports into alleged “price tag errors” at King Soopers is changing the narrative around another possible strike. So host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are talking about the shifting politics of your grocery bill and other big stories of the week — from Mayor Johnston changing his mind on raises for his top deputies to some really shady deals going down inside the McDonald's at Colfax and Pennsylvania. And of course, we hear from you! This time, a listener has a new theory for why YIMBYs tend to be nerdy white guys.  We talked about our coverage of the King Soopers strike back in February, featuring interviews with UFCW Local 7's Kim Cordova and King Soopers president Joe Kelley. Paul talked about the New York Times' coverage of digital price tags.  What's your favorite grocery store and why? We want to hear about Denver's best grocery stories, from the specialty markets to the places with the best deals.

Top officials of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau erupted in cheers this month.How odd. The cheers were for a federal court that had just ruled in favor of letting big banks gouge us with exorbitant feeds when we're late making a credit card payment. Bizarrely, agency officials joined jubilant bank executives in declaring, “This is a win for consumers.”Huh? The court's blatantly plutocratic ruling lets financial giants slap us credit card customers with punitive fees of $32 or more for every late payment. The court is legalizing their consumer robbery, allowing credit card lenders to pluck an extra $10 billion a year in excess fees from our pockets. Adding to their shame, the profiteering bankers will mainly squeeze this windfall from low-paid working families who're living paycheck to paycheck, having to rely on credit to make ends meet.So why in hell are the government's consumer protectors cheering this? Because these officials are no longer “ours,” but corporate operatives been installed by Trump's brigade of billionaires. The supreme goal of their autocratic government is to further empower the rich over the rest of us.Indeed, displacing consumer protectors with agents who'll protect corporations from consumers was an explicit goal of Project 2025. That extremist manifesto was co-authored by Russell Vought, a fanatical right-wing politico from the Christian Nationalist cult. What's he doing now? Trump has put Vought in charge of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.Thus, a national agency meant to help average consumers have a bit more of a fighting chance against financial greed has been perverted by Trump into just another tool helping moneyed elites rip off working families. How great does that make America?Do something!Consumer Reports and the Consumer Federation of America are both working to save the CFPB; additionally, a lawsuit has been filed by Gupta Wessler, a high-stakes litigation firm in D.C., on behalf of the National Treasury Employees Union, National Consumer Law Center, NAACP, Virginia Poverty Law Center, Pastor Eva Steege, and the CFPB Employee Association.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.
