The annual gathering of the world's leadership class at the World Economic Forum in Davos bills itself as high-minded forum for increased global cooperation in the now-struggling old international order. But, in practice, it's more of a concentrated mass of industry titans flexing with their various status badges, “bilaterals,” and AI slogans all while anxiously refreshing their phones for the latest updates on the Trump administration's next moves.Filming from his hotel room in the Alps, Oren, our intrepid correspondent in Davos, joins Drew to report what he heard and saw from these often panic-stricken elites. They discuss how the Davos crowd is really reacting to Trump's approach to alliances and American leadership, why episodes like Greenland trigger outsized panic among our allies, and where legitimate concerns about trust and cooperation get lost in elite groupthink.Further Reading:“A Sharp Break over a Piece of Ice,” Oren Cass, Commonplace.

EPISODE 154 | Forgotten Languages (FL): The Most Interesting Site on the Web? While researching a previous episode about internet rabbit holes, I came across one that was some big, so complicated, that the entry soon grew into its very own episode. It's called Forgotten Languages, and at first it seems like it's all about ancient languages. But these turn out to be ciphers which, when decoded, reveal a series of interlocking narratives involving transdimensional beings, UAPs, aliens, secretive cabals working at cross purposes, the odd revelation that all humans are gone by the year 3100, and more.  Like what we do?

Rania Khalek is joined by journalist and political economist Ben Norton, editor of the Geopolitical Economy Report, to break down why the Trump administration attacked Venezuela—and what comes next. Norton explains how Trump's bombing of Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro are not isolated acts, but part of a broader U.S. imperial offensive in Latin America. The goal: control strategic resources like oil, gas, rare earths, and critical minerals, reassert U.S. dominance in the region, and build a supply chain that cuts out China.

From a recent SAND Community Gathering (December 2025). This urgent conversation, facilitated by Ashira Darwish and rooted in Haidar Eid's new book Banging on the Walls of the Tank, moves through the fractured present of Gaza, bringing forth a chorus of resistance, mourning, refusal, and clarity. This is a dispatch from within the rubble, the classroom, the lull between airstrikes. Together. Eid and Darwish hold the line inside the unbearable: the grief of ongoing genocide and the insistence on liberation; the impossibility of hope and the necessity of imagining otherwise. Their conversation refuses erasure, insists on dignity, and carries the clarity of those living under siege with purpose and memory intact. This conversation carries the vibration of Gaza's resistance outward, inviting listeners not just to witness, but to respond.

Rania Khalek is joined by Zoe Alexandra of People's Dispatch and special guests for a live episode of Dispatches examining the Trump administration's unprecedented attack on Venezuela.

We break down the lies used to justify this aggression — and what comes next.

The book explores themes of survival, selfishness, the supernatural and the staggering human cost of mechanised slaughter, immersing readers in the moral chaos of war. Published by Simon & Schuster

Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska was a Polish scientist and the first woman to lead a dinosaur excavation expedition. On her explorations of the Gobi Desert, she discovered many famous animals, including Deinocheirus—a dinosaur that, for decades, was known only by its enormous, terrifying arms & claws. But when we finally found the rest of its body, it turned out to look more like Jar Jar Binks. This is the story of Zofia, and the dinosaur that surprised us all - as told originally aired on the History Dispatches podcast with Matt and McKinley Breen.History Dispatches Podcast: https://historydispatches.com/The Explorers Podcast: https://explorerspodcast.com/History Dispatches & Explorers Podcast are part of the Airwave Media Network: www.airwavemedia.comI Know Dino Website: https://iknowdino.comI Know Dino Book: https://books.disney.com/book/i-know-dino/Sources:https://archive.org/details/inpursuitofearly0000kiel/page/n5/mode/2uphttps://archive.org/details/huntingfordinosa00kielhttps://iknowdino.com/deinocheirus-episode-527/https://www.nature.com/articles/520158ahttps://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2014.16203https://www.nature.com/articles/nature13874https://www.nature.com/articles/nature13930See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

George Galloway returns for another packed edition of The Mother of All Talk Shows, as the world edges closer to midnight on multiple fronts. 

In this episode of the Western Front Association's Mentioned in Dispatches, researcher Gary Guess shares his work on the 12th (Service) Battalion of the Yorkshire Regiment, known as the Teesside Pioneers. Recruited largely from Middlesbrough and surrounding towns, the battalion served with distinction in France, combining infantry courage with engineering labour under fire. Guess, who has spent six years uncovering their history and has a personal family connection, reveals the story of this remarkable unit.

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind as we hit the road (not in a car) to promote our new book, Life After Cars, in some of the greatest cities of North America including San Francisco, Washington, DC, Seattle, Vancouver, BC, Nanaimo, BC, Portland, OR, San Diego, and Los Angeles (as well as our home base of NYC, of course). Getting to visit all these cities in person, often walking and riding the streets accompanied by local advocates and elected officials, was a real joy and a privilege. We saw a lot! And maybe not surprisingly for a couple of podcasters, we had some thoughts about all of it—from excellent bike lanes and public spaces to transit service that left a lot to be desired and the horror that is Interstate 5.  Our tour continues!

This final installment of the Orogenesis Dispatches series, which features host Josh Weinberg interviewing ultra endurance cyclist Kurt Refsnider, who has just completed the first full ride of the Orogenesis route – a massive backcountry mountain bike trail traversing the western U.S. from Canada to Mexico. The episode reflects on the full journey, covering logistics, experiences, highs and lows, and what's next.After riding for 72 of the past 82 days, Refsnider had just completed his ride and was enjoying some downtime before heading out again, this time to tackle Mexico's Baja Divide Trail. He detailed how, during his time following the Orogenesis route, he rode 3,130 miles (~5,000 km) and climbed nearly 413,000 ft (~126,000 m) of elevation across three states and a mix of singletrack (40%), pavement (10%), and a remainder or dirt tracks and Jeep roads.Looking back on the past three months, Refsnider talks of how the adventure was both a personal and collective effort. He experienced Orogenesis firsthand and tested what a purpose-built, bike-specific, transcontinental singletrack route feels like, while also demonstrating that the route “goes,” hopefully inspiring others to attempt it and validate the years of planning by the Orogenesis team. He also offers key highlights from the experience, lessons learned, and a deep dive into the gear he selected for the journey.

Nov. 18, 2025 - In an excerpt from an upcoming episode of Dispatches from Planet Albany, former Democratic Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski talks about the lobbying efforts of business groups at the Capitol.

In this episode of the Western Front Association's Mentioned in Dispatches, Dr Richard Batten, Honorary Research Fellow in History at the University of Exeter, discusses his new book For King and Country: The Role of Patriotism in Mobilisation in the First World War, published by Pen & Sword in 2025. Focusing on Devon but addressing wider national and European themes, the book explores how local elites encouraged men to enlist, enforced wartime discipline and sought to define patriotism, while also showing how ordinary people – especially women and working-class communities – responded to or challenged these ideals.

Guest: Richard Warnica, Senior Opinion Writer In this episode, we explore Richard's recent visit to Texas as a vivid microcosm of Trump's current America. He reports on cratering trust in vaccines, increasingly aggressive ICE arrests that are cleaving families apart, and the dismantling of public media meant to help citizens understand their world. His conversations with advocates, lawyers, and local leaders highlight a landscape shaped by disease, cruelty, and deliberate ignorance — all unfolding alongside climate-driven disasters like the recent deadly flood at Camp Mystic girls summer camp, where grief still lingers in the air. PLUS: Hear Texas House Representative Nicole Collier speak about how Republican action inspired her to sleep two nights on the Capitol floor, in protest. Produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Paulo Marques and Sean Pattendon

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !Un seul nom : Lovecraft. Difficile d'être un geek en France dans les années 1980 et 1990 sans lire les nouvelles de cet auteur, si possible en pleine nuit, à la lumière d'une lampe de chevet afin d'être emporté par ses folles visions. Et encore aujourd'hui, presque 90 ans après sa mort, c'est galère de ne pas voir que Lovecraft exerce une énorme… oui, une ÉNORME influence sur la culture pop', de Stephen King en passant par Batman ! Oui, parce que l'asile d'Arkham de Gotham City porte le nom d'une ville fictionnelle inventée par Lovecraft… Et ce n'est qu'un exemple, sur des centaines de références cachées, dans des dizaines et des dizaines de romans, BD, films, et jeux vidéos ! Bonne écoute !

Human-caused climate change is fueling extreme floods, wildfires, rising seas, and record-breaking heat all around the world. At the same time, some of the most senior U.S. government officials and other powerful actors are actively defunding climate programs, dismantling research institutions, erasing decades of environmental data, and launching direct attacks on climate professionals. This week's episode is about what it's like to be a climate scientist, researcher, or environmental professional trying to do meaningful work in a country with a government that increasingly doesn't want it. Many have faced harassment, threats, or dismissal — or live in fear that their funding will be frozen or cut. How does it feel to do climate work not just in an era of climate denial, but of deliberate climate erasure?  Episode Guests: Rachel Rothschild,  Assistant Professor, University of Michigan Law School Brent Efron, Senior Manager for Permitting Innovation, Environmental Policy Innovation Center J.

Human-caused climate change is fueling extreme floods, wildfires, rising seas, and record-breaking heat all around the world. At the same time, some of the most senior U.S. government officials and other powerful actors are actively defunding climate programs, dismantling research institutions, erasing decades of environmental data, and launching direct attacks on climate professionals. This week's episode is about what it's like to be a climate scientist, researcher, or environmental professional trying to do meaningful work in a country with a government that increasingly doesn't want it. Many have faced harassment, threats, or dismissal — or live in fear that their funding will be frozen or cut. How does it feel to do climate work not just in an era of climate denial, but of deliberate climate erasure?  Episode Guests: Rachel Rothschild,  Assistant Professor, University of Michigan Law School Brent Efron, Senior Manager for Permitting Innovation, Environmental Policy Innovation Center J.

And a Biglaw firm seeks help while an in-house attorney blows up her career. ----- Catching up with the slice of the conservative legal movement who have stared into the moral abyss of the Trump administration and recoiled in horror. The Society for the Rule of Law held its annual summit and while many attendees voiced clear-eyed opposition, some continued to grapple with the cognitive dissonance in recognizing that Trump might be the natural and logical consequence of their own long championed conservative projects. One attendee who has no illusions over the gravity of the threat though was Judge Michael Luttig who railed against the Supreme Court in the legal equivalent of a rousing halftime locker room speech. Also, Cadwalader seems increasingly at an existential crossroads and looking for a merger partner. And a lawyer loses her job over ballpark rant -- and what's more, her team lost.

This is a rerelease of our 2023 Halloween special about the 12 Ft Skeleton Halloween craze, as well as the strange history of our relationship to skeletons, both real and fake, stretching back hundreds of years. On 10/14 you can hear me on You're Wrong About talking all about Midnight Ghost Shows! I also wanted to advertise a new series I am doing over on Patreon and Apple+ called Dispatches from the Field, where I talk at you about whatever I want for however long they want in an unedited, uncensored stream of consciousness. In our new episode, Chelsey's Lifelong Haunting, I tell you as many of my own ghost experiences as I can remember in under an hour. Next week we will bring you our episode with Sarah Marshall on Spontaneous Human Combustion and then this year's American Hyscaria Halloween special, but you'll have to wait until then to find out what kind of ghouls we will be invoking. ⁠⁠Become a Patron⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support our show and get early ad-free episodes and bonus content Or subscribe to American Hysteria on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get some of our new merch at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠americanhysteria.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, all profits go to The Sameer Project, a Palestinian-led mutual aid group who are on the ground in Gaza delivering food and supplies to displaced families.

In the latest installment of our special edition podcast, Orogenesis Dispatches, Josh Weinberg talks with adventure cyclist Kurt Refsnyder, who is riding the entire trail from the US border with Canada all the way to Mexico.Kurt checks in from Bridgeport, California, about 2,000 miles (3,200 km) into the 5,000-mile (8,000 km) route. From there, with it being nearly halfway through the route, he reflects on challenges that have included substantial sections of deadfall in Oregon, smoke and fires in Idaho, and unexpectedly hard sections like a soft rail bed in Northern California. He also reveals a feeling of relief being in California, where the trails are more established for bikes, and deadfall will hopefully be less of a concern.The bulk of the conversation addresses reader/listener-submitted questions that span a multitude of topics, including using an electronic drive train over a mechanical one, riding without a chamois pad, how he chooses camping spots, the daily joys of waking up on the trail, and what lies ahead.

I respect the hell outta y'all for listening to this show. It takes a lot of damn guts to sit down and figure out your bluetooth while you're driving your car. There's some real chutzpah involved in throwing in some HeadBudz and halfway paying attention to 2 jagoffs talking shit while you're washing a dish. I mean it. Hell, I could never do it. But I do want to ask you this. Do you have what it takes? I mean do you really think you got it in ya? Can you reach way down deep, and come up with the motherfuckin ATTITUDE necessary to join the airport revolution!? Yeah, I thought not. Stick to podcasts. And regular roasting pans.

Jason Segel starred in Freaks and Geeks, How I Met Your Mother, Knocked Up. But he's also an accomplished writer and creator. He wrote the classic romcom Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and revived The Muppets for a new generation.When Jesse talked to Segel in 2020, Jason had just created the weird and wonderful TV drama Dispatches from Elsewhere - a show he says put him "out of his comfort zone." He'll talk about that, and what makes the Dracula song in Forgetting Sarah Marshall... unforgettable. You can catch him on the Apple TV+ show Shrinking, where he stars opposite Harrison Ford.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
