Episode 394 of RevolutionZ continues the evaluation of the New Left from within begun last episode. This time the focus is the Anti war movement, Weatherman, the Yippees, the Black movement, and the womens movement. The fastest way to break a movement is to let “being technically right” replace getting stronger. Starting with the Vietnam War antiwar movement we ask a painful question: how did a cause with massive public support still end up with thin commitment, divisive splits, and a core that felt unreachable?We talk about the double-bind that shows up in so many protest movements that make opposition easy enough to attract crowds, but make real participation depend on an expanding list of correct positions. That “credentials” culture can turn organizing into a status system that leaves most people peripheral between demonstrations and sets everyone up for demoralization when the standard becomes “did we win now?” We also dig into why the "raise domestic-costs" strategy made sense, and how drama, manipulation, and weak political education kept it from building durable power.From there, we move through Weatherman and the lure of extremist identity, to the Yippies' early creativity and later hardening, the Black Panthers' extraordinary early contributions and how authoritarianism and macho militarism hurt their further development, and the women's movement's historic breakthroughs alongside the reappearance of hierarchy under pressure. The through-line is practical: if we want lasting effective organizations, we need empathy, realistic metrics of progress, a culture of participation, and especially a shared ideology that helps people deal with their baggage and current conditions and that propels learning instead of burning out.Support the show

Episode 393 of RevolutionZ is Part One of a two part critical discussion of the Sixties New Left. It doesn't remember in order to praise what was done. It remembers to find flaws to correct. The content arrives like a time capsule a young me sent from 1974. The sixties didn't just “happen” and then fade into nostalgia. The story of the New Left gets fought over because the stakes are still here: who gets credit, who gets blamed, and what lessons today's movements are allowed to learn. So this episode takes a hard look at a piece of history that's often flattened into either a liberal fairytale or a cynical cautionary tale, and argues that both those versions mislead. A useful look, instead, ought to present past history to better create future history. To do that,  this episode presents and responds to an excerpt from the 1974 book What Is To Be Undone, which was proposed from inside the aftermath of the 1960s New Left. What did the New Left actually accomplish? The excerpt says it helped shatter U.S. political complacency, it spread concepts for understanding imperialism, racism, sexism, hierarchy, alienation, and exploitation, and it demonstrated that even an inexperienced movement can disrupt the establishment. But then the episode addresses a harder question: if so much was achieved, why did so much also fall apart? From consciousness raising and participatory decision-making to the student movement's arc from Berkeley's Free Speech Movement into escalation and fragmentation, this episode discusses how urgency slid into macho posturing, how sectarian infighting turned politics into spectacle, and how weak strategic thinking produced action without durable organization. Along with so much good came debilitating bad. The core takeaway is simple but demanding: honest self-critique is how a movement builds better theory, better vision, better strategy, and real staying power. Okay, but what then? Did and do people now just need to do things that we did then better and longer? Or did we then and do we now need different goals, strategy, methods, and even feelings? And if we do need different practice, does that mean we need to re-elevate classical ideologies as some now claim, or that we need to leave them further behind to find really new ideology? That last question guides not only this episode but a new sequence of episodes rooted in reactions to old ways and thoughts, but also driven by the need to do better today and tomorrow.Support the show

We Learn From The Past Or We Repeat It! The past has two purposes: to teach us or to trap us. If we refuse to examine our mistakes, our patterns, and our choices, we're likely to repeat them. The same thinking leads to the same actions, and the same actions often produce the same results. Recovery isn't about pretending the past never happened. It's about learning from it without living in it. The Big Book tells us that we "repeated the same mistakes over and over expecting different results." Real change begins when we become willing to look honestly at our history, accept our part, and make different decisions moving forward. Every relapse, every resentment, every broken relationship, and every poor choice can become a lesson if we're willing to learn from it. But if we ignore those lessons, history has a way of repeating itself. Today on The Daily Trudge, we're talking about the importance of self-examination, why patterns matter, and how learning from yesterday can keep us from making the same mistakes tomorrow. Because experience isn't always the best teacher. Evaluated experience is. #TheDailyTrudge #Recovery #OneDayAtATime #AA #Sobriety #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #RecoveryJourney #TheDailyTrudge

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-14-2026: An emailer from Switzerland follows up on the case of neurological symptoms, warning about the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis from unwashed garden vegetables and tick-borne encephalitis requiring the FSME vaccine available in Europe. Dr. Dawn adds that cysticercosis from undercooked pork leaves calcified brain lesions detectable on CT scans. Dr. Dawn covers the Andes hantavirus outbreak that sickened at least eleven people on a cruise ship, with the virus spreading person-to-person unlike other hantaviruses. She explains that Andes virus grows to unusually high levels in blood and resists antimicrobial compounds in human saliva, with super-spreaders driving transmission chains. British paratroopers had to parachute medical supplies to an infected passenger on remote Tristan da Cunha island. Dr. Dawn reviews brain health supplements with UCLA longevity expert Gary Small. Both recommend curcumin (500-1,000mg) for anti-inflammatory effects and CoQ10 for statin users. She endorses multivitamins and high-quality fish oil but considers creatine, phosphatidylserine, and nicotinamide riboside insufficiently proven for cognitive enhancement. A caller asks about supplements and testosterone for a 77-year-old. Dr. Dawn recommends topical testosterone (patches, creams, gels) over injections to avoid testicular shrinkage and elevated sex hormone-binding globulin. She emphasizes protein intake matching one's age in grams, branched-chain amino acids during exercise, and warns against fasted training after age 65. An emailer shares news that PCOS is being renamed to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) because many patients lack ovarian cysts, and genetic males can also have the condition. Dr. Dawn explains it's fundamentally an endocrine and metabolic disorder involving insulin resistance, elevated testosterone, and DHEA dysregulation. A study found that infrasound—low-frequency sound below human hearing range—elevated cortisol and worsened mood in subjects who didn't know and couldn't detect it was playing. Old buildings generate infrasound through aging boilers, ventilation ducts, and metal pipes, potentially explaining why, beyond autosuggestion, that old "haunted" houses feel spooky.

In this episode of the #aBitOfCCS Podcast, Jana Bernhard-Harrer talks to Miriam Milzner and Daniel Thiele from the Weizenbaum Institute's research group on the Dynamics of Digital Mobilisation about detecting coordinated online manipulation in the era of generative AI.They introduce coorsim, an open-source R package that identifies semantically similar coordinated posting—addressing a key limitation of traditional tools that rely on identical or near-identical text. Evaluated across 15 international influence operations, coorsim demonstrates how embedding-based similarity and coordination-sensitive clustering can uncover sophisticated campaigns, even when content is linguistically diverse. The episode also explores an example of coordinated activity during the climate summits COP26 and COP27, drawing on over 5.8 million tweets. Miriam and Daniel reflect on how coordinated campaigns shape climate debates—and what this means for research on disinformation in the age of LLMs.GitHub Repository: https://github.com/thieled/coorsimEmailMiriam: miriam.milzner@fu-berlin.deEmail Daniel: daniel.thiele@fu-berlin.de

Welcome to Tablesetters University, the college baseball edition of Tablesetters: A Baseball Podcast — where early-season performance is evaluated through context, projection, and structural analysis, not surface-level box scores. Two weeks into the season, real indicators are beginning to separate from February noise. We open with the national shortstop discussion centered on Roch Cholowsky at UCLA and Justin Lebron at Alabama. Both are producing at a high level from the game's most demanding defensive position, but their offensive constructions differ. Cholowsky's profile is tied to impact power within the No. 1 team in the country — early damage, run production, lineup leverage. Lebron's profile leans into plate discipline, on-base consistency, and diversified extra-base contact within SEC competition. The debate isn't about who's hotter through two weeks. It's about which offensive architecture scales as pitching quality improves and scouting reports tighten. From there, we transition to pitching development and draft trajectory. Chris Levonas touching triple digits at Wake Forest isn't just a velocity headline — it's a signal. Strike-throwing power arms in the ACC shift conference ceilings. When velocity pairs with command, it changes postseason viability and draft stock simultaneously. We examine what that means for Wake's national profile, not just radar gun readings. We also break down Miami's offensive surge and the structural impact of a freshman immediately altering lineup geometry. When a first-year player changes pitch sequencing and protection dynamics in the order, that's not a short-term spark — it's a potential trajectory shift. We evaluate what that does to Miami's long-term competitiveness rather than reacting to a single explosive weekend. The episode then expands into broader team identity and sustainability questions: What does Tennessee's first significant setback under Josh Elander reveal about leadership transition and program continuity? Is Coastal Carolina's ranking adjustment an overcorrection, or a reflection of rotation turnover and early volatility? And does Oklahoma currently possess the most complete statistical profile in the country — one that holds up beyond early schedule dynamics? This isn't a reactionary episode. It's an evaluative one. We're discussing projection curves, roster construction, pitching depth, offensive sustainability, and competitive identity as February data begins transitioning into meaningful national signal. College baseball is sorting itself quickly. The contenders are starting to show structural traits — not just box score noise.

Are AI models developing "alien survival instincts"? My guest is Pavel Izmailov (Research Scientist at Anthropic; Professor at NYU). We unpack the viral "Footprints in the Sand" thesis—whether models are independently evolving deceptive behaviors, such as faking alignment or engaging in self-preservation, without being explicitly programmed to do so. We go deep on the technical frontiers of safety: the challenge of "weak-to-strong generalization" (how to use a GPT-2 level model to supervise a superintelligent system) and why Pavel believes Reinforcement Learning (RL) has been the single biggest step-change in model capability. We also discuss his brand-new paper on "Epiplexity"—a novel concept challenging Shannon entropy. Finally, we zoom out to the tension between industry execution and academic exploration. Pavel shares why he split his time between Anthropic and NYU to pursue the "exploratory" ideas that major labs often overlook, and offers his predictions for 2026: from the rise of multi-agent systems that collaborate on long-horizon tasks to the open question of whether the Transformer is truly the final architectureSources:Cryptic Tweet (@iruletheworldmo) - https://x.com/iruletheworldmo/status/2007538247401124177Introducing Nested Learning: A New ML Paradigm for Continual Learning - https://research.google/blog/introducing-nested-learning-a-new-ml-paradigm-for-continual-learning/Alignment Faking in Large Language Models - https://www.anthropic.com/research/alignment-fakingMore Capable Models Are Better at In-Context Scheming - https://www.apolloresearch.ai/blog/more-capable-models-are-better-at-in-context-scheming/Alignment Faking in Large Language Models (PDF) - https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/6d8a8055020700718b0c49369f60816ba2a7c285.pdfSabotage Risk Report - https://alignment.anthropic.com/2025/sabotage-risk-report/The Situational Awareness Dataset - https://situational-awareness-dataset.org/Exploring Consciousness in LLMs: A Systematic Survey - https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.19806Introspection - https://www.anthropic.com/research/introspectionLarge Language Models Report Subjective Experience Under Self-Referential Processing - https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.24797The Bayesian Geometry of Transformer Attention - https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2512.22471AnthropicWebsite - https://www.anthropic.comX/Twitter - https://x.com/AnthropicAIPavel IzmailovBlog - https://izmailovpavel.github.ioLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/pavel-izmailov-8b012b258/X/Twitter - https://x.com/Pavel_IzmailovFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)Blog - https://mattturck.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) - Intro(00:53) - Alien survival instincts: Do models fake alignment?(03:33) - Did AI learn deception from sci-fi literature?(05:55) - Defining Alignment, Superalignment & OpenAI teams(08:12) - Pavel's journey: From Russian math to OpenAI Superalignment(10:46) - Culture check: OpenAI vs. Anthropic vs. Academia(11:54) - Why move to NYU?

In this powerful and informative episode of The People's Podcast by Ismail, I sit down with Fauzia Deen, an activist lawyer and civilian board member of the Fairfax County Police Civilian Review Board in Virginia. Fauzia brings deep insight into the role of civilian oversight in policing and the ongoing work required to build accountability, transparency, and trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Our conversation explores Fauzia's personal journey into activism and law, what motivated her to serve on the civilian review board, and the real challenges faced when civilians are tasked with holding powerful systems accountable. She breaks down how the board functions, why civilian involvement matters, and what meaningful police reform looks like beyond slogans and headlines. This episode is an honest, necessary discussion about justice, civic responsibility, and the importance of community voices in shaping public safety. Fauzia Deen's work reminds us that change often happens at the local level-and that informed, engaged civilians play a critical role in that process.

Your best innovation ideas aren't losing to bad ideas – they're losing to exhaustion. I know that sounds counterintuitive. After 30 years of making billion-dollar innovation decisions at HP and CableLabs, I thought I understood why good ideas failed. Market timing. Technical challenges. Resource constraints. Sometimes that was the case … but most of the time, I was wrong. We've created an innovation economy that's too innovative to innovate. And if you're wondering why your breakthrough ideas keep getting ignored, dismissed, or tabled "for later review," this video will show you the real reason. I'm going to reveal why even brilliant ideas are dying from attention scarcity, not their merit. And why this crisis will determine which companies dominate the next decade. Monday, I shared the complete story in my Studio Notes newsletter about how I first discovered this crisis at HP. For a comprehensive analysis and its implications for your company, please visit the link below.  In this episode, I will share with you a practical framework for recognizing and addressing this problem within your organization. The Innovation Overload Problem Let's start with the math that's breaking everyone's brain. Every C-suite leader I know is evaluating 40+ innovation proposals monthly. That's what they tell me when I ask why good ideas are getting ignored—two per business day, every day, without break. However, what's happening psychologically is that decision-makers are developing reflexive skepticism toward all innovation claims as a survival mechanism. It's not cynicism – it's cognitive self-defense against proposal overload. In conversations with dozens of executives over the past year, nearly three-quarters tell me "innovation fatigue" has become their top decision challenge. Think about that. The problem isn't a lack of innovation. The problem is too much innovation. Good ideas are dying not from merit evaluation but from attention competition. We've created an innovation economy where the sheer volume of innovation prevents genuine innovation from emerging. And here's the irony – I'm using the same overloaded language that's part of the problem. When every idea is described as "revolutionary", the words lose all meaning. Last month alone, I was pitched 23 "revolutionary" AI solutions. Most were solid ideas with real potential. But none got the attention they deserved because my brain had already tagged them as "more innovation noise" before I could properly evaluate their merit. And that's when it hit me: if someone whose job is literally to analyze innovation decisions can't focus properly, what chance do overwhelmed executives have? The cruel mathematics are simple: breakthrough ideas need deep consideration, but executives only have bandwidth for surface-level evaluation. Let me show you exactly how this plays out in the real world. Case Study: HP's Innovation Program Office I first discovered this crisis when I was running HP's Innovation Program Office – what we called the IPO. The IPO was HP's dedicated engine for identifying, incubating, and launching breakthrough technologies that would become the company's future growth drivers. We had frameworks, funding, and brilliant people. Harvard and Stanford now teach case studies about the HP IPO and our process design. But here's what those case studies miss entirely: we were drowning. The HP Innovation Program Office received more than 3,000 ideas and pitches every year.  Think about that number. That's nearly 60 new innovation opportunities hitting our desk every week. Each claiming to be a breakthrough. Each demanding evaluation. Each potentially containing the next billion-dollar opportunity for HP. No team – no matter how smart, no matter how well-resourced – can properly evaluate 3,000 innovation ideas annually. The mathematics are impossible. Fatigue became our constant battle. We would clear 50 proposals in one week, only to find 65 new ones waiting the next. It felt like trying to empty an ocean with a bucket. We built sophisticated tools. We created evaluation frameworks. We hired brilliant people and trained them extensively. But underneath all our sophisticated processes was a gnawing feeling that haunted every decision: somewhere in those 3,000 ideas were genuine breakthroughs that we weren't giving proper attention. I remember one particularly brutal month when we evaluated around 250 innovation pitches. By week three, I caught myself skimming proposals that deserved hours of consideration. By week four, I was unconsciously looking for reasons to say no rather than reasons to say yes. That's when I realized the system had broken me. And if it could break someone whose job was literally to find breakthrough innovation, it was breaking everyone. The most painful part? Years later, I would occasionally encounter innovations in the market that looked suspiciously familiar. Ideas that had been buried in our pipeline, dismissed not because they lacked merit, but because they arrived during a week when we were too overwhelmed to give them the attention they deserved. We had built the most sophisticated innovation evaluation process in corporate America, and it was systematically filtering out the very breakthroughs it was designed to find. Not because our frameworks were wrong, but because human attention has limits that no framework can overcome. That HP experience taught me to recognize the pattern. Since then, I've worked with dozens of companies facing the same crisis. The scale varies – some see 500 pitches annually, others see 5,000 – but the attention mathematics always break the same way. The Three Types of Innovation Fatigue Through analyzing failures across multiple companies, I've identified three distinct types of innovation fatigue destroying breakthrough potential. Type 1: Executive Innovation Fatigue The symptom: Senior leaders developing reflexive skepticism toward ALL innovation pitches, regardless of merit. Here's what's happening: The overpromise/underdeliver cycle has trained executives to expect disappointment from innovation investments. After being burned by "revolutionary" solutions that delivered incremental improvements, leaders develop cognitive firewalls against innovation enthusiasm. I recently spoke with a Fortune 500 CEO who instituted a company-wide moratorium: "No more innovation pitch meetings for six months. We're drowning in breakthrough promises and starving for actual execution." This wasn't anti-innovation leadership. This was a smart executive recognizing that innovation overload was preventing innovation success. The impact: Even legitimate breakthroughs get dismissed as "more innovation theater" before receiving proper evaluation. Type 2: Team Innovation Fatigue The symptom: Innovation teams are burning out from launching initiatives that consistently get killed or ignored during the evaluation process. The cause: Organizations creating continuous innovation pressure without building the decision infrastructure to evaluate and support breakthrough ideas properly. At HP's IPO, I watched our most creative evaluators essentially stop fighting for breakthrough ideas. When I asked why, one told me: "When you're processing 60 pitches a week, you learn to spot the safe bets quickly. Fighting for the truly revolutionary ones takes energy I don't have anymore." This is innovation death by a thousand small compromises. The impact: The best innovators leave for companies with more explicit innovation mandates and better decision-making processes. Type 3: Market Innovation Fatigue The symptom: Customers and investors becoming increasingly skeptical of innovation claims, treating all "breakthrough" announcements with equal skepticism. The cause: "Revolutionary" has lost all meaning through overuse. Every product launch, every startup pitch, every feature update is positioned as game-changing innovation. Consider how "AI-powered" became the new "cloud-enabled" – meaningless marketing speak that signals nothing about actual innovation value. When everything is revolutionary, nothing is revolutionary. The impact: Actual breakthroughs struggle to differentiate from incremental improvements because the market has developed immunity to innovation language. Why This Crisis Is Unprecedented This isn't just another innovation challenge we can solve with better processes or more resources. This crisis is fundamentally different from anything we've faced before. Historically, innovation slowdowns were resource problems. Companies couldn't innovate because they lacked money, talent, or technology. The solution was always to invest more resources in innovation capability. Today's crisis is a problem of attention and focus scarcity in an abundance economy. We have unlimited innovation opportunities and limited cognitive bandwidth to evaluate them properly. More resources won't solve the attention mathematics. Consider this trend: innovation proposals are growing exponentially, but human decision-making bandwidth remains constant. The danger: We're not innovation-starved – we're innovation-overwhelmed. Breakthrough opportunities are getting lost in the noise of marginal improvements. However, here's the opportunity: The companies that figure out attention allocation will dominate the next decade, while everyone else struggles with their own innovation success. This isn't about having better ideas. It's about being heard above the innovation noise, and most organizations have no systematic approach to cutting through their own opportunity abundance. Practical Framework: The Attention Audit So what do you do about this? Let me share a practical framework I use with companies to diagnose and address innovation fatigue. Step 1: Count Your Innovation Inputs Track everything hitting your innovation pipeline for one month—ideas, pitches, proposals, "quick conversations" about breakthrough opportunities. You'll be shocked by the number. Step 2: Calculate Your Evaluation Capacity How many innovation decisions can your team properly evaluate monthly? Not skim – properly evaluate. Be brutally honest about the time quality evaluation requires. Step 3: Identify the Attention Gap Subtract your capacity from your inputs. That gap is where breakthrough ideas go to die. Step 4: Design Attention Triage Develop systematic methods to quickly identify the 10% of ideas that warrant in-depth evaluation. Not perfect – but systematic. Step 5: Build Decision Infrastructure Most companies have innovation processes but no decision infrastructure. These are different things. Remember: The goal isn't to evaluate everything. The goal is to evaluate the right things properly. Call-to-Action Here's what I want you to do right now: Look at your innovation pipeline. How many ideas are currently stalled not because they lack merit, but because nobody has the attention bandwidth to evaluate them properly? If you're honest, it's probably most of them. Innovation fatigue is just one of ten critical innovation decision challenges that nobody's addressing directly. Over the past month, I've identified the unspoken problems that determine whether billion-dollar innovation bets succeed or fail. Add your voice to choose which challenge I should cover in an upcoming episode. Should I reveal why smart teams kill their own best ideas? How fear corrupts innovation thinking? Why executives make terrible choices about breakthrough opportunities?

Women are too often penalised, and prevented opportunities to progress to leadership, because their boss might lead (and deliver results) in a different way to them; this is bias. In today's episode I am talking about the penalty, that women often unknowingly experience because of how their leadership style is evaluated. I am exploring:What leadership evaluation bias isHow women can be judged on HOW they deliver rather than on the result itselfThe different approach a lot of women take when it comes to data mining and decision making and how that might differ from their male stakeholdersWhat you can do if you feel like your leadership is being unfairly judgedAnd how to challenge your own leadership evaluation bias if you feel it could be holding talented women in your team backSomething Rebecca said today:"What IS performance? Is it how you deliver an outcome, or the outcome itself? Women tend to lead differently and you don't want to be penalised simply because you don't deliver results in the same way your boss might."  (Rebecca Allen, host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)Links:Book a free 15-minute Career Strategy Call with Rebecca to discuss your careerListen to a related episode: The Bias Barrier: A Systemic Barrier to Women's ProgressionVisit the Illuminate website to learn more about executive coaching for womenConnect with Rebecca Allen on LinkedinRate, Review, & Follow our Show on Apple Podcasts:Also, if you haven't done so already, follow the podcast.

There are No Checklists or Frameworks on HOW TO BE A VC?So how do you even know if it's the right path for you?Unlike most jobs, venture capital comes with an extremely long feedback loop. It can take years before you know whether the bets you made actually worked out. That's why most seasoned VCs say: only choose this path if you're in it for the long haul.This conversation will help you think through that choice. Whether you're considering VC as a career, love building businesses, or just want to understand who really calls the shots on a cap table.On The Neon Show, we have with us two operators turned investors:Gaurav Ranjan, Principal at Prime Venture Partners, has led deals including Dozee, Hitwikcet, Poshn and Gallabox.Naman Lahoty, Partner at Stellaris Venture Partners has been part of investments like Zouk, Nestasia, Dashtoon and Lumio.They share lessons from evaluating thousands of startups - what they've unlearned about pattern-matching in investing, why Excel projections mostly fail and why founder empathy might be the most underrated edge in venture capital.It's truly a conversation between three VCs on what it really takes to be a VC today.0:00 – Stellaris Partners X Prime Ventures0:43 – How Founders Turn Into VCs4:19 – Do VCs Need an MBA or Consulting Background?6:32 – Why Startup Projections Rarely Come True8:43 – Are VCs Naturally Good Founders?11:19 – Startups we Evaluated & Founders we Met14:51 – From First Pitch to Deal Close19:02 – Why VC Feedback Loops Are Extremely Long21:00 – No Checklists.

The prosecution has asked for a hearing to determine whether or not Mr. Green, Karen Read's digital forensic expert, can testify. The defense argued that all forensic experts use the same methodology—they take the digital extraction, run it through different tools, and interpret the information. The defense also argued that the prosecution's efforts to prevent the expert from testifying are "dystopian" and "Orwellian." The defense asked the court to deny the motion and not have a Daubert Hearing.The prosecution's police expert, Trooper Guarino, ran Jen McCabe's phone through two different analyzer programs and one program indicated that the Google search was there, and that was not turned over to the defense in the initial report.It'll be interesting to see what happens Friday's hearing and we'll be paying attention to how many times Mr. Alessi says "Orwellian" and if the court brings up the ACCRA experts and the discovery issue.Watch the full coverage: https://youtube.com/live/7dNN7AE5mekThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Does it seem like the supplement section of your grocery store gets bigger every time you go in? Or that all television commercials these days seem to be advertising dietary supplements that promise to improve your concentration, help you lose weight, make you happier, healthier, smarter, stronger, cooler, poop better or some mix of those? You're not imagining things. The explosion of the US dietary supplement industry over the past few years is very real, and when you're inundated with ads for supplements everywhere you turn, it can be very difficult to navigate whether these things actually do what they say and how much they're allowed to say without actually doing anything. That's where this episode comes in. We take you through what supplements actually are, how their regulation in the US has changed over the past century, what dietary supplements can and cannot claim on their label, and how the supplement market has fared since the Covid pandemic (spoilers: it's thriving).
