According to a poll carried out by Hiddush, an organization for Religious Freedom and Equality, some 60 percent of the Jewish population now support recognizing all types of marriages, including civil, Conservative and Reform ceremonies. Reporter Arieh O’Sullivan spoke with Dr. Yifat Solel, the deputy director and legal adviser of Hiddush, about their poll.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week - we're talking about the internet, Coco's proclivities toward the disembodied voice of Pedro Pascal and Nish's struggles to find any time to work on himself. Strap in - it's a juicy one.  Nish and Coco are joined by technology journalist Chris Stokel-Walker to make sense of the UK's new online safety laws - which restrict access to harmful and inappropriate content for young people - while simultaneously clamping down on free speech and digital privacy. The conversation is becoming a culture war topic - but are the political class actually having a sensible discussion about this seismic, world's-first legislation?  And - guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission could see trans people excluded from public life. And now it might become law - with no debate, no scrutiny and no vote. We'll be speaking to journalist Freddy McConnell about the risk to all of our rights and how we can fight back. And later - we're getting Jezzy with it - we dive into the mailbag to hear your thoughts on the party definitely not called “your party”.  CHECK OUT THIS DEAL FROM OUR SPONSOR https://www.shopify.co.uk/podsavetheuk  USEFUL LINKS  See us Live in London!  https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/comedy/pod-save-the-uk/ Write to your MP  https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/contact-an-mp-or-lord/contact-your-mp/ Trans Solidarity Alliance https://www.transsolidarityalliance.com/ehrc-code Freddy's latest article https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/31/transgender-rights-ehrc-guidance-single-sex-spaces  Guardian article about Lord Dannet https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/aug/05/lord-dannatt-urged-ministers-to-crack-down-on-palestine-action-at-request-of-us-firm  GUESTS Chris Stokel-Walker  Freddy McConnell AUDIO CREDITS  Sky News Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.

On September 3rd 2025, diabetes and sport will go under the global spotlight that is a House of Commons debate. In today's episode the man who made it happen tells us why - and what this could mean for the millions of people living with diabetes in the UK.Chris Bright is one of the community's crusaders. As part of his role as Community Partnerships and Events Lead at Breakthrough T1D in the UK, he has put diabetes in sport on the agenda at the highest possible level. The goal? To improve the inclusivity of physical activity for people with diabetes. The need is clear - the Equality Act that safeguards around 3.5 million people with diabetes in work and education does not currently extend to sport. In fact, recent research found that of 180 existing governing bodies in sport, only four have policies in place for people with diabetes.Diagnosed at the age of 8, Chris overcame stigma and the challenges of a very inflexible insulin regime as a young athlete to represent Wales at futsal. He later used those negative experiences as momentum to build The Diabetes Football Community, bringing young footballers with diabetes together while rewriting attitudes to type 1 diabetes and football.In this episode we dig into different pockets of Chris's work, including some new recommendations for travel, airports and airport security. We touch on his personal journey, and he reveals his strategy for successfully creating change in the face of inequality - perfect for anyone who feels as galvanised as I was listening to Chris's phenomenal story. CONNECT WITH CHRISFollow Chris on Instagram.Find Chris on X.Follow Chris on TikTok.The Diabetes Football Community website.Breakthrough T1D Community Events Calendar.JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 COMMUNITY Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.Visit the Type 1 on 1 website.Subscribe to the Type 1 on 1 newsletter.DISCLAIMER Nothing you hear on Type 1 on 1 should be taken as medical advice. Please consult your healthcare team before making any changes to your diabetes or health management.SPONSOR MESSAGE This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Dexcom.

We can have equality of economic development, but not both. No society can develop while retaining equality throughout its culture. Equality requires we ignore every possible cause of differentiation. The culture must postulate that there is nothing that justifies one person being different from another. Society must decide no ability, or capacity or desire justifies the person becoming different from everyone else. In a culture committed to equality, it is not just that equality becomes the First Order Principle of that society, everything that drives progress, is eliminated. Equality and progress are incompatible. Records are broken and new developments happen, because people are unequal.

Life's biggest wins come from quiet consistency. For Olympic gold medalist Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson, that meant showing up every day and finding joy in the daily grind.  In this episode, she reflects on her journey as an elite athlete, mother of four children, and advocate for equality in women's hockey. We discuss why finding enjoyment in the monotony on the road to excellence matters, how to parent athletes in a way that pushes them without pressure, and ways men can help fight for equality and representation in the game. Tune in to hear what's helped Jocelyne make an impact on and off the ice! Topics discussed: Jocelyne's unique relationship with her twin, Monique The importance of finding joy in the daily grind Jocelyne's role in the 2017 fight for equal pay What it really means to be a winner Balancing honest feedback and encouragement for kids How increased marketing has changed women's hockey How men can be allies in women's hockey Mentorship, coaching, and growth Listen to episode 238, Empowering the Next Generation with Kellan Brown, here: https://www.mitlinfinancial.com/insights/blog/empowering-the-next-generation-with-kellan-brown/ Resources: Mitlin Financial: https://www.mitlinfinancial.com/ The JOY and Productivity Journal by Lawrence Sprung: https://www.amazon.com/JOY-Productivity-Journal-brought-mindset/dp/B0CYQFYW54/ Download Your Free Copy of the Couple's JOYful Money Guide: https://mitlin.us/CouplesJOY Connect with Larry Sprung:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrencesprung/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/larry_sprung/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LawrenceDSprung/ X (Twitter): https://x.com/Lawrence_Sprung Connect with Rachel Solomon Fascitelli: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jocelyneusa17/ Twitter: https://x.com/lamoureuxtwins Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LamoureuxTwins/ Website: www.lamoureuxtwins.com About our Guest: Born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota as the youngest of six children, Jocelyne and her twin sister Monique excelled as young athletes and became North Dakota's first Olympic Gold Medalists. Despite growing up with no opportunity to play on girls hockey teams, they did not let that stop them from developing into some of the best players in the state.  They attended Shattuck St. Mary's School where they elevated the women's hockey program to national prominence and won three national titles during their high school careers.   The Lamoureux twins rewrote the record books at the University of North Dakota, setting nearly every individual record in program history while becoming some of the best players in NCAA history and multiple-time All-Americans during their collegiate careers. During their 15 years on the USA Women's National Team, Monique and Jocelyne rose to become two of the all-time greats in women's hockey, winning one Olympic gold medal, two Olympic silver medals, six world championships and one world championship runner-up, along with multiple individual awards and accolades. They are USA Hockey Hall of Fame inductees and 2nd and 3rd youngest North Dakota natives to be given the Teddy Roosevelt Award in the State of North Dakota.  Their most important victories have come off the ice in their fight for gender equity for women in hockey and sports. They were key leaders in negotiating Team USA's first-ever contract that provided more opportunities, compensation and benefits for women and girls who play hockey in America. They continue to give back to the state of North Dakota through the Monique and Jocelyne Lamoureux Foundation, which helps serve underprivileged youth. They have inspired a generation to dream big, but most importantly their legacy will be about making a difference in people's lives as they strive toward those dreams.  Disclosure: Guests on the Mitlin Money Mindset are not affiliated with CWM, LLC, and opinions expressed herein may not be representative of CWM, LLC.

Is Access to Private Investments About to Change Forever? A new bill, the Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act of 2025, is making waves in Congress. Its promise? To open the doors of private investments, such as real estate, private equity, and venture capital, to a broader range of Americans by eliminating traditional accreditation standards. But does equal access truly mean equal risk? In this episode, Jeannette Friedrich breaks down what this bill really means for everyday investors, the potential benefits, and the serious risks that are not being discussed enough. Key Takeaways: What the Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act proposesUnderstand how the bill aims to replace income and net worth requirements with a knowledge-based test to expand access to private investments. Three reasons why this bill is being celebratedFrom democratising access to higher-yield investments, encouraging portfolio diversification beyond stocks, to fostering financial education. Why “equal access” might not mean equal impactThe financial risks for a high-net-worth investor are not the same as for a first-time or lower-net-worth investor. Jeannette explains the nuances. The rise of bad actors and fraud risksMore retail participation may attract scammers and opportunists. Learn why investor caution and due diligence will become even more critical. False sense of equality: The overlooked flaw in the billJeannette shares why both new and existing accredited investors should be held to the same financial literacy standards and why the bill currently misses this point. A call for broader regulatory scrutinyWhy regulation should not stop at LPs (passive investors) but should also address standards for General Partners (GPs) to ensure industry-wide investor protection.

In this episode, Matt speaks with Brian Dijkema of Cardus, about the moral limits of modern liberalism. Dijkema argues that while classical liberalism emerged from a tradition concerned with virtue and the common good, today's liberalism often treats neutrality and technocratic governance as ends in themselves. They discuss the work of classical liberal theorists, Rawls' liberal vision, the legacy of Christian social thought, and how institutional renewal requires more than procedural fairness but rather a shared vision of the good.

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?Women's happiness has been in decline since the 1970's despite increased freedoms and opportunities, says Dr Giselle Goodwin. I've you've ever felt burnout out and the sense that you're somehow failing at being a woman and a mother you'll have a sense of it happening, but you may feel guilty, particularly given the opportunities we've been given compared with what our own mothers had. She says that when women were told we could have it all, it seems what we really heard was we must do it all. It's been dubbed The Female Paradox and in this episode Dr Goodwin shares her personal struggles balancing career and motherhood. She talks us through how societal expectations haven't really changed, even while women are expected to go out to work, resulting in what's been dubbed the "second shift" of domestic responsibilities. We also explore the Paula Principle, where women often take jobs below their skill level for flexibility to fit in with home life, contrasting it with the Peter Principle where men are promoted above their competence. In spite of the problems, Giselle emphasizes it's vital for women to be in high-level roles for societal representation and equity and the real work needs to be done in discussions about how we divide up the mental and physical labour of or lives.She advises young people to view their careers as a portfolio, adapting to life's seasons, and encourages midlife reassessment.Dr Giselle Goodwin: https://gisellegoodwin.com/BOOK: Can Women Really Have it All?: A Happiness Handbook for Working Mothers Research shows that working mothers experience up to 40% more stress and that women's happiness has been declining since the 1970s. How do we fix this? Backed by compelling research and packed with actionable suggestions, this groundbreaking book answers the burning questions of working mothers today:Why do so many mothers feel chronically guilty?What actions can women take to improve their own happiness?What changes do we need from society to improve women's lives?Does working outside the home make mothers happier?Is part-time work the answer, or does it bring its own problems?What advice should we give to our children?Support the showThank you so much for your support.

Today's episode is a truth-telling, taboo-breaking, and pleasure-restoring conversation that could quite literally change lives.I am joined by Dr. Laurie Mintz, psychologist, author, speaker, and Emeritus Professor at the University of Florida, whose life's work has been a powerful act of cultural unlearning and sexual awakening. Dr. Mintz is the author of the groundbreaking books Becoming Cliterate: Why Orgasm Equality Matters and How to Get It and A Tired Woman's Guide to Passionate Sex. Both are rooted in science, filled with heart, and have been proven through published research to increase sexual satisfaction, body confidence, and orgasm frequency in women, and to radically improve communication and connection between partners.For too long, the narratives around women's bodies and sexuality have been distorted by shame, silence, and a patriarchal script that left so many disconnected from their birthright: pleasure, autonomy, and full aliveness.In a world where we have been taught that sex is penetration, that female pleasure is elusive, and that clitoral stimulation is optional, Dr. Mintz is leading a revolution: a revolution for orgasm equality, for linguistic liberation, and for true intimacy based on knowledge, consent, and joy.Her viral TEDx talk, watched by over two million people, challenges us to close the pleasure gap and to stop treating women's orgasms as afterthoughts, or worse, illusions. And her message is as much about cultural healing as it is about personal empowerment.In this episode, we explore why sex education fails most women, how language shapes our sexual experiences, why so many women fake orgasm, and how we can all return to a more authentic, attuned, and pleasure-centered approach to sexuality.This is much more than a conversation about sex. It is a conversation about power, equality, and embodiment. It is about reclaiming what was ours all along.And to remember that when a woman's pleasure is honored, we do not just heal individuals, we begin to heal the world.Episode highlights:03:00 – Dr. Mintz shares her path from writing about low sexual desire in women to uncovering the widespread ignorance around the clitoris and female orgasm.05:45 – The “orgasm gap” is a cultural problem, not a biological one—and the myth that “sex equals penetration” is rooted in patriarchal definitions of sex.08:00 – Mainstream media portrays distorted, unrealistic depictions of female pleasure, leading women to believe they are broken when they aren't.10:00 – Why so many women fake orgasms and how performance-based sex robs both partners of real connection and joy.13:45 – New research shows that bisexual women orgasm dramatically more with female partners than male ones—revealing a deeper systemic issue.16:15 – How language, sex ed, and media erase clitoral stimulation, creating a false norm that harms everyone.22:00 – When women feel fully safe, seen, and met, they can access not just physical but also spiritual and energetic orgasms.24:30 – The false end-point of male orgasm in sex and why we must redefine climax as a shared, intentional experience.27:00 – The real cost of ignoring women's pleasure: emotional distance, relational breakdown, and lost intimacy.29:00 – Lesbian couples experience more orgasms because of communication, mutual respect, and attention to clitoral stimulation—practices that can be applied to all relationships.31:45 – Research-backed benefits of Becoming Cliterate: greater sexual satisfaction, more frequent orgasms, improved communication—and less sexual pain.34:00 – Dr. Mintz's six-step rhyme to close the orgasm gap: Educate, Meditate, Communicate, Lubricate, Vibrate, Alternate.36:30 – Addressing the myth of vibrator “desensitization” with science and compassion.39:00 – Why labiaplasty, unless medically necessary, is a...

If you're gonna charge for tarps coming off, it better be all tarps

Somehow…Monday returned. Welcome back! This morning I am headed into Washington, DC to speak to a group of young professionals about communication and breaking through both the noise and polarization. These are tough times for getting your message across. Ears are closed. Eyes are covered. Impressions are set. How do we break through? I'll share a few brief thoughts. It'll be brief mainly because I want you to check out the video today, my interview about the new Superman movie on Fox Radio with Ben Domenech of The Transom. Part of it can be watched here for Free Subscribers to Geeky Stoics, and if you want more, it's posted here. I know Ben appreciates the views. To watch the whole thing here, like with other videos, you can upgrade to a Paid subscription to support the work we're doing here. The community is growing! On YouTube, we hit 15,000 subscribers yesterday and notched our one millionth view, thanks in part to this video about Friendship vs Eros (Erotic, Romantic love). Getting Your Message AcrossSo, as I was saying….how do we break through? It's all about moral foundations. Once you understand the moral framework your audience is operating under, you can make an effort to appeal to their code and move the needle. In his book, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion, Jonathan Haidt breaks down the moral universes of conservatives and liberals (a simple left-to-right framing) into six pillars. * Care/harm – concern for the suffering of others* Fairness/cheating – emphasis on justice, rights, and equality* Loyalty/betrayal – allegiance to one's group, family, or nation* Authority/subversion – respect for tradition and legitimate authority* Sanctity/degradation – valuing purity & avoiding the disgusting or profane* Liberty/oppression – a desire to resist domination and tyranny (added later in his framework)Geeky Stoics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Haidt's widely acclaimed social science research showed that liberals place an outsized value on 1 and 2, Care and Fairness. Their first principles involve displaying concern for others' suffering and caring about matters of fairness. Of course, these streams meet on matters of social justice and civil rights. Conservatives are more balanced in how they see the world. Each pillar gets pretty equal attention, with slightly more attention paid to Loyalty and Authority. They care about Fairness and the factor of equality, but in terms of proportionality to one's contributions. It's funny because conservatives think about this with the collective in mind, which is a framework usually used by liberals. Some outside thoughts on these values from familiar namesC.S. Lewis on his skepticism of Equality: “Do not misunderstand me. I am not in the least belittling the value of this egalitarian fiction, which is our only defence against one another's cruelty—the function of equality is purely protective. It is medicine, not food. By treating the human person as if they were all the same kind of thing, we avoid innumerable evils. But it is not on this that we were made to live. It is idle to say that men are of equal value. If value is taken in a worldly sense—if we mean that all men are equally useful or beautiful or good or entertaining—then it is nonsense. If it means that all are of equal value as immortal souls, then I think it conceals a dangerous error.”* In summary, Lewis believed that Equality was a social necessity, but nothing more than that. He held that hierarchies are in keeping with nature (Authority) and that people become vessels for ideas and values, and ideas and values are ranked. “Equality is medicine, not food”. It treats a kind of ailment, but it's not our reason for being. J.R.R. Tolkien on Freedom: “-the word has been so abused by propaganda that it has ceased to have any value for reason, and become a mere emotional dose for generating heat.”* A short quote and simple. Freedom is nice, but there are higher goods than freedom, such as Sanctity. You'll find liberals and conservatives switch places quickly on Freedom when it suits their competing moral pillars. Once you have this understanding of moral foundations, you can decide whether or not you want to attempt appealing to them for the purpose of making a connection. Last thing, and for this we'll return to Narnia's founder, C.S. Lewis, once more. You have to keep your heart open to the possibility that you're only being served the worst possible impression of your opponents. We know this. TV news and social media algorithms are designed not to spread truth, but to maintain the audience. If Fox News or MSNBC starts going too easy on the other side, people change the channel. They tuned in for a worldview, so subverting that is not in the business model. Know this. You can watch and enjoy the “news” but know it's a form of entertainment, first and foremost. Lewis wrote in Mere Christianity that with news, we become disappointed when our opponents are anything less than devils. Once we go down that road, we will start to see ourselves, the world, and God...as devils also. Turns out, believing the best in people is something that extends to how you treat yourself in the mirror. So be gracious. “Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one's first feeling, 'Thank God, even they aren't quite so bad as that,' or is it a feeling of disappointment, and even a determination to cling to the first story for the sheer pleasure of thinking your enemies are as bad as possible? If it is the second, then it is, I am afraid, the first step in a process which, if followed to the end, will make us into devils. You see, one is beginning to wish that black was a little blacker. If we give that wish its head, later on we shall wish to see grey as black, and then to see white itself as black. Finally, we shall insist on seeing everything -- God and our friends and ourselves included -- as bad, and not be able to stop doing it: we shall be fixed for ever in a universe of pure hatred.”-C.S. Lewis in ‘Mere Christianity'Have a great week, everyone, and thank you for reading Geeky Stoics. This is a public episode.

China has stressed equality, respect and reciprocity to promote sustainable relations with the United States.

John Maytham is joined by renowned human rights activist Mark Heywood to unpack a growing global movement that challenges not poverty alone, but the unchecked accumulation of extreme wealth. At the heart of the argument is this: in a world where over 800 million people live in extreme poverty, can we justify the rise of billionaires — and now, the inevitable trillionaire? Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.

In this episode of Unspoken Security, host AJ Nash speaks with Dr. Peter Garraghan, CEO and CTO of Mindgard. They discuss the real-world security risks of artificial intelligence. Peter starts with a simple point: AI is just software, and software is easy to break. He urges businesses using AI to step back and truly understand its vulnerabilities.Peter draws parallels between the current AI boom and past technology cycles like cloud computing. While AI feels revolutionary, the security risks are not new. Threats like data poisoning and prompt injection are modern versions of classic cybersecurity problems. The danger is that AI's human-like interface makes it easy to anthropomorphize, causing users to overlook fundamental security flaws.To manage these risks, Peter advises companies to treat AI like any other software. This means applying the same rigorous security controls, testing protocols, and incident response playbooks. Instead of creating a separate process for AI, organizations should find the gaps in their current security posture and update them. This practical approach helps businesses secure AI systems effectively.Send us a textSupport the show

Israel targets Syria's Sweida in new strike "Israel has launched a new air strike in southern Syria's Sweida city. The attack late on Thursday targeted the outskirts of the city. The strike came a day after the Syrian Interior Ministry confirmed a new ceasefire agreement in the city, which includes full reintegration of the southern province under central government authority. Israel has been targeting the capital, Damascus, as well as Sweida and Daraa. Meanwhile, the United States has said it opposed its ally Israel's strikes in Syria but did not take up the matter with Tel Aviv. " Israel's bloodbath in Gaza continues "Israel has killed at least 94 Palestinians and wounded 367 others in besieged Gaza over the last 24 hours amid its ongoing genocide in the enclave. The death toll since Israel's resumption of the genocide on March 18 after a two-month truce has also climbed to 7,843, in addition to 27,933 others wounded. The majority of the victims are women and children. Meanwhile, Israel bombed the Catholic Holy Family Church in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood, the only Catholic church in Gaza, killing at least three people and wounding several others including the priest of the church. "Ukraine, US considering major drone deal" "President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are considering a deal that involves Washington buying battlefield-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kiev purchasing weapons from the US. Ukrainian drones have been able to strike targets as deep as 1,300 kilometers into Russian territory. Zelenskyy has said drones were the key tool that has allowed his country to fight with Russia's for more than three years." Slovenia bans Ben-Gvir, Smotrich over Gaza's 'unbearable situation' "Slovenia has become the first EU member state to formally declare two Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich as persona non grata, citing their role in what it called the ""unbearable situation"" in Gaza. Slovenia's move follows its June recognition of the State of Palestine. Meanwhile Belgium is mulling to impose sanctions against Israel if the humanitarian situation in Gaza does not improve." G20 finance chiefs meet under tariff cloud in South Africa "South Africa has urged G20 countries to provide global and cooperative leadership to tackle challenges, including rising trade barriers, as the bloc's finance chiefs met under the shadow of President Donald Trump's tariff threats. Host South Africa, under its presidency's motto ""Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability"", has aimed to promote a Pan-African agenda, with topics including the high cost of capital and funding for climate crisis action."

Send us a textIn this powerful and heart-opening episode of Rahma with Rose, I sit down with Humera Khan, a London-based community leader, educator, and faith-based activist who has spent decades merging social justice and spirituality into an embodied path. Humera opens up about her journey from cultural Islam as a young woman to recognizing activism, motherhood, and community-building as deeply spiritual practices, challenging traditional notions of spirituality as quiet withdrawal from society.She candidly reflects on how patriarchal and authoritarian interpretations of Islam have constrained the richness of lived faith, offering a critical yet compassionate critique of shame-based approaches that remain far too common in Muslim communities. With grace and wisdom, Humera shares the personal tools that have helped her stay grounded through adversity, confront gender injustice in religious spaces, and embrace her “enoughness” as a British Muslim woman.Humera Khan is a freelance Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion consultant and trustee of the London-based An-Nisa Society, a pioneering Muslim women's organisation she co-founded. For over four decades, she has worked at the intersection of community development, policy, and social justice, focusing on the needs of Muslim families. Humera has led and developed projects in Islamic counselling, supplementary education, youth engagement, and sexual health—most notably through her Cycle of Life book series. She has contributed to national conversations through governmental advisory roles and interfaith dialogue, and continues to write and speak on issues such as identity, gender, Islamophobia, and family welfare.Connect with Humera through An-Nisa Society: www.an-nisasociety.orgSupport the showFind out more about Rose's work here: https://lnk.bio/dr.rose.aslanWebsite: https://compassionflow.comSupport Rahma with Rose so I can keep producing more episodes here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2197727/supporters/new Music credits: Vocals: Zeynep Dilara Aslan; Ney/drum: Elif Önal; Tanbur: Katherine Hreib; Rebap: Hatice Gülbahar Hepsev

Send us a textThe words equity and equality often get used interchangeably, but this linguistic mix-up isn't just semantic – it fundamentally shapes how we approach fairness in our schools, workplaces, and communities. Equality, while well-intentioned, gives everyone identical resources regardless of their starting point. This approach sounds fair until we examine its practical implications: giving every student the exact same worksheet ignores their different learning styles, language needs, and home support systems.Equity, on the other hand, recognizes these different circumstances and allocates resources accordingly to achieve equal outcomes. It's about meeting people where they are – whether that means providing speech therapy for one student, internet access for another, or culturally relevant materials for a third. When we mistake equality for equity, we unintentionally perpetuate systems that leave marginalized groups behind. Standardized approaches that ignore historical barriers don't create true inclusion.Ready to put equity into practice? Start with a thorough resource audit to identify who has access and who's being left out. Use concrete data rather than assumptions to guide your support strategies. Most importantly, center the voices of those most impacted by your decisions – if they aren't part of creating solutions, you're likely missing critical insights. Diversify your curriculum or training materials to ensure representation across cultures and experiences. Remember that equity isn't a destination but an ongoing practice requiring continuous learning and adjustment.

Human nature and the possibility of utopiaThe idea of utopia - of a perfect society devoid of suffering and inequality - is planted firmly in the human imagination and psyche. From pre-biblical times to Thomas More and communism and beyond, widely disparate groups have attempted to plan or create a utopia. But is it achievable? And if not, why not?Join unconventional psychologist Paul Bloom as he makes the case for the impossibility of utopia given certain key features of human nature. We are not meant, he argues, for perfect harmony and equality. Paul Bloom is a researcher of perversion and suffering, so his perspective brings interesting insights on the question. But what do you think? Can we ever achieve utopia?

For decades, Democratic politicians have frustrated progressives by tinkering around the margins of policy while shying away from truly ambitious change. What happened to bold political vision on the left, and what shrunk the very horizons of possibility? In Thinking like an Economist, Elizabeth Popp Berman tells the story of how a distinctive way of thinking—an “economic style of reasoning”—became dominant in Washington between the 1960s and the 1980s and how it continues to dramatically narrow debates over public policy today. Introduced by liberal technocrats who hoped to improve government, this way of thinking was grounded in economics but also transformed law and policy. At its core was an economic understanding of efficiency, and its advocates often found themselves allied with Republicans and in conflict with liberal Democrats who argued for rights, equality, and limits on corporate power. By the Carter administration, economic reasoning had spread throughout government policy and laws affecting poverty, healthcare, antitrust, transportation, and the environment. Fearing waste and overspending, liberals reined in their ambitions for decades to come, even as Reagan and his Republican successors argued for economic efficiency only when it helped their own goals.A compelling account that illuminates what brought American politics to its current state, Thinking like an Economist also offers critical lessons for the future. With the political left resurgent today, Democrats seem poised to break with the past—but doing so will require abandoning the shibboleth of economic efficiency and successfully advocating new ways of thinking about policy. Elizabeth Popp Berman is Director and Richard H. Price Professor of Organizational Studies at the University of Michigan and the author of Creating the Market University: How Academic Science Became an Economic Engine (Princeton).

After surviving incarceration and forced incestuous marriage during the worst violence of the French Revolution of 1789, they dared sartorial revolt. Together, Joséphine and Térézia shed the underwear cages and massive, rigid garments that women had been obliged to wear for centuries. They slipped into light, mobile dresses, cropped their hair short, wrapped themselves in shawls, and championed the handbag. Juliette made the new style stand for individual liberty. The erotic audacity of these fashion revolutionaries conquered Europe, starting with Napoleon. Everywhere a fashion magazine could reach, women imitated the news coming from Paris.

In this special Independence Day episode of American Potential, guest David Gowdy—founder of the Virginia Institute for American History—joins host David From to explore the creation of America's most iconic document: the Declaration of Independence. Gowdy shares how Thomas Jefferson, just 33 years old, drew from classical thinkers and the Virginia Declaration of Rights to pen the revolutionary words “all men are created equal.” The conversation dives into the meaning of this phrase, the influence of Jefferson's ideas on Abraham Lincoln's fight against slavery, and the contradiction of Jefferson's personal slave ownership despite his public opposition to the institution. Gowdy also explains why understanding Jefferson's view of rights as granted by the Creator—not the government—is crucial to preserving freedom today. Listen in for a thought-provoking discussion on the timeless principles that sparked a revolution, inspired generations, and continue to challenge Americans to live up to their founding ideals.
