    The real-life Marlo Stanfield sits down for his first podcast interview. In this exclusive episode, Marlo Bates — known across Baltimore as Marlo Stanfield — opens up about the story behind one of the most feared and iconic characters from HBO's The Wire. From growing up in West Baltimore, building a powerful street organization with his twin brother Tamir, and surviving decades in prison, Marlo shares the truth behind the legend in his own words. He talks about Baltimore in the 1970s and 1980s, the heroin trade, 24-hour shops, loyalty, violence, police pressure, murder charges, wrongful convictions, learning to read in prison, and how his life changed after serving nearly 37 years. This is a rare, unfiltered conversation with the man behind the myth — covering The Wire, David Simon, Ed Burns, Baltimore street history, prison, redemption, and Marlo's new documentary available on Amazon Prime and OG Network.

    C Constable reports from France on the high heat and smoke impact near Bordeaux. The discussion shifts to surging energy prices, with Brent crude rising 26% and European gas up 36%. Despite high energy costs, rising copper prices suggest potential industrial growth. (1)Simon Constable and Jim McTague continue with a quiz highlighting that typical data centers use 300,000 gallons of water daily, while larger ones can reach 5 million gallons. Currently, most centers are urban, but 67% of planned facilities are rural. In Lancaster County, a "tale of two data centers" emerges as one town embraces the revenue stream while another resists it due to misinformation and fear. (2)Cliff May argues for maximum pressure and coercive diplomacy to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He advocates for a naval blockade, specifically targeting oil exports from Kharg Island to strangle the regime's revenue. May emphasizes that the Iranian leadership's ideology makes them likely to use nuclear weapons, necessitating a strategy to cripple the regime's power. (3)John Hardie and Bill Roggio cover the significant leadership change in Ukraine as General Drapatyi replaces General Syrskyi as commander-in-chief. Drapatyi is seen as a representative of a new, western-style generation of officers who embrace technological innovation and listen to subordinates. The transition aims to "desovietize" the military and maintain the momentum of successful drone offensives against Russian infrastructure. (4)Anatol Lieven examines how the Ukraine and Iran conflicts are merging into one global struggle following a Ukrainiandrone strike on an Iranian vessel. This escalation threatens global energy supplies of refined oil products, as Russianrefineries struggle with capacity. While Ukraine targets the Russian middle class to undermine support for the war, Lieven warns of a widening proxy war involving China, North Korea, and Iran. (5)Anatol Lieven turns to Britain's new political era under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is described as the Labour Party's "last chance" to address a discredited government. Burnham faces immense financial pressure, particularly regarding the costs of healthcare for the elderly and dementia. To succeed, he may need to pivot from "Net Zero" policies to prioritize energy needs and seek a new mandate through an election. (6)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett of MIT explain hierarchical merging, a process where black holes merge repeatedly to create larger "monsters." By analyzing gravitational waves from 155 binary pairs, they discovered that 14% are second-generation black holes, born from previous mergers rather than stellar collapse. These second-generation black holes are characterized by rapid spin and mass asymmetry, providing clues to how supermassive black holes form in galaxies. (7)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett continue: to uncover the origins of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, scientists propose building larger gravitational wave detectors scaled up by a factor of ten. These advanced observatories would allow researchers to peer further back into cosmic history, potentially detecting black holes from the very early universe. Expanding the global network to four or five detectors would help pinpoint host galaxies and detect the formation of heavy elements. (8)Arthur Herman recounts the historic 1896 meeting where Henry Ford pitched his internal combustion engine to a skeptical Thomas Edison. Edison's encouragement served as the catalyst for Ford's revolution in American transportation. This industrial transformation was further enabled by John D. Rockefeller, whose ability to lower oil prices made gasoline an economically feasible fuel for mass production. The segment also highlights George Washington's vision for a professional Continental Army. (9)Arthur Herman explains the American founders were heavily influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment, particularly the ideas of David Hume and Adam Smith regarding the pursuit of happiness. This subjective right was prioritized over property to potentially allow for the future abolition of slavery. The founding spirit extended to the Northwest Ordinance, creating communities like Marietta, Ohio, that were dedicated to education, religion, and freedom. (10)Arthur Herman characterizes Abraham Lincoln as a founder for his vision of an America without slavery and his willingness to risk the Union to fulfill the Declaration of Independence. His administration's legacy includes the Homestead Act and the Transcontinental Railroad, which expanded the "empire of liberty." Additionally, the Civil War era facilitated the rise of Andrew Carnegie, who later revolutionized the global steel industry using the Bessemerprocess. (11)Arthur Herman reframes the Gilded Age not as an era of greed, but as a period of unprecedented opportunity and connectivity driven by the railroad. James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway fostered regional prosperity and negotiated fairly with Native American tribes. Meanwhile, Thomas Edison's relentless competitiveness and "restless mind" led to the electrification of the nation and the invention of the phonograph, inspiring future generations of founders like Elon Musk. (12)Arthur Herman contrasts Woodrow Wilson's attempt to centrally manage industry during World War I, which resulted in logistical chaos and failure, with FDR's embrace of the private sector for World War II, appointing GM's Bill Knudsento lead mobilization. By relying on the incentives of the marketplace, Knudsen successfully converted American manufacturing into a massive war machine, producing more war material than the world imagined in just 18 months. (13)Arthur Herman presents Martin Luther King Jr. as a founder who refounded the American experiment by taking risks to fulfill the promise of equality. The segment explores the eternal conflict between the bold "founder mindset" and the cautious "manager instinct" that emerged in the 1950s. While managers seek stability and predictability, founders drive innovation and national greatness, preventing the American dream from becoming stagnant and stale. (14)Arthur Herman credits Vannevar Bush's "The Endless Frontier" manifesto with persuading FDR to fund basic scientific research through universities, laying the groundwork for Silicon Valley. This federal support enabled discoveries in information theory and microchip development, transforming the American economy. The evolution from massive mainframes like the IBM 360 to modern microchips illustrates the imaginative leap of founders who see opportunities where others see only current technology. (15)Arthur Herman concludes that today's founders, including Elon Musk and Donald Trump, continue the tradition of taking massive risks to fulfill bold visions. Musk's goals for SpaceX and Mars are described as a step-by-step process of industrial manufacturing and innovation. Central to this enduring success is the Patent Act of 1790, a unique constitutional protection that ensures individuals own the products of their minds, fueling 250 years of American discovery. (16)Corrections applied per the log: John Hardie (transcribed as "Hardy," segment 4) and Labour Party (UK spelling, segment 6). I also dropped the phonetic "(Chopati)" after General Drapatyi in segment 4 — that's Mykhailo Drapatyi, so the first spelling stands. One to confirm for the log: Kalin Plunkett (segments 7–8) — I couldn't verify this MIT researcher's spelling; if it's from audio, it may need checking against the MIT LIGO group roster.

    DNA Dialogues: Conversations in Genetic Counseling Research

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 30, 2026 73:52


    In this episode, we are exploring innovative research methodologies in genetics, including narrative and visual methods, conversation analysis and body mapping. Our guests highlight using these methods to drive inclusive and diverse research as well as providing a more nuanced understanding of the lived experiences of families.    Segment 1: Defining joy after a genetic diagnosis: A narrative inquiry   Guest Bio: UNC Greensboro Genetic Counseling Program graduate Jordan Miller earned a masters degree in genetic counseling in 2025 and currently works as a prenatal and cancer genetic counselor at Prisma Health in Columbia, South Carolina. In addition to clinical practice, Jordan serves as part of the faculty for the University of South Carolina Genetic Counseling program, where she is passionate about supporting and mentoring future genetic counselors.   Following a personal experience of finding joy after a devastating family diagnosis, Jordan developed a deep passion for exploring how joy, hope, and humanity can remain central to patient care. Her work and advocacy focus on fostering meaningful conversations about compassionate care and the ways healthcare professionals can help patients and families find moments of connection and resilience during difficult experiences.   In this segment we discuss: - The use of qualitative narrative inquiry and in-person observations, rather than standard surveys, to capture the visceral, underreported experience of joy following a family genetic diagnosis. - The "FERN" grounded framework (Focusing on the present, Embracing life, Redefining joy, and Normalizing the journey) and how its core themes emerged from family narratives. - How healthcare providers and communities can foster joy and humanize care by interacting with pediatric patients as individuals rather than focusing solely on their diagnosis. - Balancing grief and joy in healthcare conversations without pushing toxic positivity, highlighting how small daily moments of joy help families hold onto hope.   Segment 2: Expanding the methodological repertoire: Integrating multimodal approaches in genetic counseling research   Guest Bios: Ms Malebo Malope is a clinical genetic counsellor and currently employed at Stellenbosch University as a lecturer. She coordinates the teaching activities for the Clinical Genetics and Genetic Counselling Unit and leads short courses within the unit. Additionally, Malebo provides clinical genetic counselling at Tygerberg Hospital and participates in clinical training.  Ms Malope has a special interest in decision-making on termination of pregnancy for foetal abnormalities, accessible genetic counselling services and diversity and inclusion within the field of genetics and genomics.   Dr Megan Scott is a South African clinical genetic counsellor and health communication researcher based in Johannesburg. She holds a PhD in Health Communication and works in independent clinical practice, supporting individuals and families across a wide range of genetic indications, including prenatal, paediatric, oncology, ophthalmology and psychiatric genetics. She is actively involved in the South African medical genetics community, including student supervision and training and has previously served on the Genetic Counsellors South Africa (GCSA) committee. Dr Scott is also a Research Associate at the Health Communication Research Unit (HCRU) at the University of the Witwatersrand. Her research focuses on improving healthcare practice across interdisciplinary fields, qualitative research methods, risk and uncertainty discussions, family communication and patient-centred care. She has presented at local and international conferences, published in the fields of genetic counselling and health communication and regularly reviews for academic journals. She also serves as a supervisor, reviewer and examiner for postgraduate students in genetic counselling, public health, psychology and clinical medicine.   Dr Lorraine Cowley is a clinical academic with a background in oncology nursing and currently serves as Principal Genetic Counsellor at the Northern Genetics Service, Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. She is also an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Newcastle University. With over 25 years of experience in patient perspectives research, Lorraine has led, co-led, supervised and contributed to numerous national and international studies, with a particular focus on improving patient-centred approaches in genetic and rare disease services. She is currently funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institute for Health and Social Care Research (NIHR) through a Clinical Academic Research Partnership (CARP) Fellowship. Her current work involves collaboration across Latin America and the UK to evaluate the delivery and impact of whole exome sequencing for individuals with rare muscle disorders, aiming to improve equitable access to genomic diagnostics in rare disease care.   In this segment we discuss: - How visual methods like photographic elicitation and social mapping challenge traditional biological pedigrees, revealing diverse family dynamics, gendered support roles, and moral tensions around genetic testing. - The therapeutic and harm-reduction benefits of body mapping in complex pregnancy cases, allowing patients to express embodied emotional experiences beyond verbal language. - Applying conversation analysis to real-time clinical consultations to observe non-verbal cues and explore the complex tension between counselor neutrality and institutional expectations. - The potential of multimodal methodologies to capture culturally specific kinship structures globally and their application as reflective tools in genetic counseling supervision and training.   Would you like to nominate a JoGC article to be featured in the show?

    Anika sat down with Katie Krimitsos to explore one of the most counterintuitive business pivots in podcasting history. The conversation revealed the realities of walking away from a successful coaching business to launch the Women's Meditation Network, the process of recognizing the difference between intuition and fear, and how she scaled one podcast into a massive 24-show network. Katie's journey offers a masterclass in alignment, strategic audience building, and honoring your creative evolution while prioritizing family.In This EpisodeThe origins of Biz Women Rock and the power of being a first-mover in the podcast spaceThe terrifying moment intuition told Katie to walk away from her first six-figure yearWhy the most powerful business strategy is distinguishing between your true "voice" and the "noise"The messy, 18-month transition of running two businesses while raising a toddler and a newbornHow to utilize paid ads, app features, and cross-promotions to guarantee podcast growthThe strategy behind building a 24-show network and why not every podcast has to be a massive moneymakerLicensing content, internal product building, and creating a robust, high-converting funnelWhy creative expression—not just profit—must remain the driving force of your workTimestamps00:00 Introduction: The counterintuitive pivot to a 170-million listen empire 01:14 Discovering the power of podcasting in 2013 and launching Biz Women Rock 05:36 The defining moment of intuition: Walking away from a six-figure business 10:30 Launching the Women's Meditation Network and recognizing the open market gap 14:41 How to separate the true voice of intuition from the noise of ego 22:05 Tactical podcast growth: Using paid ads on smaller podcast apps 26:28 The power of cross-promotions and episode swaps for audience sharing28:39 Expanding from one show to a 24-podcast network 38:08 Internal product building and licensing content to third-party apps 46:28 The mind-body-soul connection and finding new creative fulfillment 51:43 Favorite mantra: Why "It's all a game" is the best mindset for successKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: True Intuition Requires Stillness and Practice The voice of intuition is often drowned out by the "noise" of ego, fear, and external expectations. Katie emphasizes that distinguishing between the two requires daily practice in small things—like listening to what your body actually wants to eat—so you can trust the voice when it asks you to make massive business pivots.Insight 2: Strategic Investment is Necessary for Scale While organic growth is important, Katie actively invested in paid advertisements on smaller podcast apps to acquire listeners at a defined cost-per-subscriber. She also leveraged cross-promotions and episode swaps with complementary shows (like sleep podcasts) to consistently bring in highly targeted new listeners.Insight 3: The Network Model Allows for Niche Experimentation Building a 24-show network means that not every podcast has to carry the financial weight of the business. Massive shows (like Sleep Meditation for Women) generate the primary revenue, which affords Katie the freedom to launch highly-niched shows (like Meditation for Panic Attacks or Meditation for Kids) that serve smaller, specific audiences without financial stress.Insight 4: Your Product Can Be Monetized in Multiple Ways Katie recognized early on that her meditations (the MP3/MP4 files) were the actual products. Instead of relying solely on podcast advertising (CPM), she distributes and licenses her content to third-party apps (like Insight Timer and Aura), creating multiple, passive revenue streams from the exact same content.Insight 5: Creative Expression is the Ultimate Driver of Business A business can be highly profitable, but if the founder feels "gray" or "blah," it's often a sign of suppressed creativity. Katie highlights the importance of continually evolving the business—such as incorporating physical well-being into her mind-soul offerings—to ensure the work remains fulfilling and energetically aligned.Resources & Links MentionedWomen's Meditation NetworkMeditate to Magic CourseAbout Katie KrimitsosKatie Krimitsos is the founder and CEO of the Women's Meditation Network, a massive media empire that has garnered over 170 million listens.

    Welcome to The Daily. Partner with us in Project23. Grab your Hosea Scripture Journal. Our text today is Hosea 12:7-8 A merchant, in whose hands are false balances,     he loves to oppress. Ephraim has said, "Ah, but I am rich;     I have found wealth for myself; in all my labors they cannot find in me iniquity or sin."— Hosea 12:7-8 Prosperity can convince you that you are spiritually healthy simply because life is going well. That was Israel's problem. They had wealth. Growth. Stability. Business success. Expanding influence. And because things looked prosperous outwardly, they assumed nothing was wrong inwardly. Prosperity had blinded them. And prosperity can do the same thing to us. When life is comfortable, we stop examining ourselves. Success can numb spiritual conviction. Wealth can create the illusion of security. Comfort can slowly blind us to pride, compromise, selfishness, greed, spiritual drift, and dependence on ourselves instead of God. That is the threat running underneath the entire book of Hosea. Israel became prosperous and slowly lost sight of God. Blindness is the perfect metaphor for this condition because blind people often do not realize they are blind. That is what deception does. It convinces you everything is fine while your soul quietly drifts farther from God. We see this all the time today. People assume that a good income means God's approval, that career growth means spiritual maturity, that comfort means blessing, and that outward success means inward health. Meanwhile, marriages quietly weaken, prayer disappears, surrender fades, hearts grow hard, and souls slowly starve underneath polished lives. Prosperity is not the problem. Blind prosperity is the problem. When prosperity convinces you that you no longer desperately need God, your prosperity has already blinded you. And maybe that is why some of the most spiritually eye-opening moments in life happen during loss, weakness, failure, or desperation. Pain has a way of restoring vision. It reminds us how dependent we actually are. So has comfort slowly blinded you? Has success reduced your dependence on God? Don't let prosperity blind you. Let it humble you and deepen your dependence on God. DO THIS: Take inventory today of where comfort, success, or stability may have reduced your dependence on God. ASK THIS: Where has prosperity made me spiritually passive? What success or comfort am I trusting more than God? How can I intentionally deepen my dependence on Him again? PRAY THIS: Father, do not let comfort or success blind me spiritually. Keep my heart humble, dependent, and fully aware of how deeply I need you every day. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Give Me Jesus"

    Recorded on July 11, 2026, at Boundless Mind Temple in Brooklyn, NY Sarah Sensei begins with an invitation to become aware of one's body, asks those present, “What do you want or need that brought you here?”, and collects individuals' responses. Sarah's dharma talk considers the koan “Dizang Planting the Fields” (The Book of Serenity, Case 12), in which Xiushan asks, “What are you doing in the world?”, and Dizang responds, “What do you call the world?” Sarah reflects on the practices of awareness of, and acceptance of responsibility for, our interconnectedness with all that is our world at each moment, including harm that has occurred. She discusses, in particular, her experience as a trans-racially adoptive parent. This podcast includes the question and response portion of the talk, with express permission of the questioner. The asker describes grappling with remorse over experiences in his youth as a student at an Israeli yeshiva in the occupied territories. Sarah's response acknowledges the pain that arises from holding the complexity of being a human being who is part of this world, and how this pain belongs in our practice as a sangha, so that we might hold it together.

    Mobile mammography as healthcare infrastructure with Ryan Polselli, MD

    In this episode of Healthcare Beans, James speaks with Ryan Polselli, MD, founder and CEO of MammoLink, about why breast cancer screening remains underused despite decades of awareness, established clinical guidance, and broad insurance coverage. Ryan argues that the core problem is not simply awareness. Screening often conflicts with work, family responsibilities, appointment availability, financial uncertainty, and the natural tendency to postpone preventive care when no symptoms are present. He explains how MammoLink brings mammography and ultrasound directly to workplaces, schools, government sites, and rural communities through patient-centered mobile imaging units. The conversation also explores price transparency, payer quality incentives, direct-pay demand, rural health infrastructure, employer-sponsored screening, nationwide expansion, and the role of data and emerging technologies in the future of breast cancer detection. Episode Timeline 00:00 — Introduction to Ryan Polselli and MammoLinkRyan introduces his background as a board-certified radiologist and breast-imaging specialist and describes his focus on improving access to breast cancer screening. 01:02 — The breast cancer screening paradoxDespite widespread awareness and strong evidence supporting screening, many women still do not receive regular mammograms. Ryan explains why awareness alone has not produced sufficient action. 03:35 — Where the screening process breaks downThe discussion examines the balance between personal responsibility and system responsibility, including the burdens created by work, family obligations, and limited appointment availability. 04:56 — Designing preventive care around human behaviorRyan contrasts urgent medical care with preventive screening. When patients feel healthy, completing screening requires a proactive decision without the emotional urgency that drives emergency care. 06:06 — Making screening compatible with everyday lifeRyan argues that screening must be redesigned around how women actually live rather than requiring patients to navigate numerous scheduling and logistical barriers. 07:12 — Financial barriers and uncertaintyInsurance may cover a routine mammogram, but patients can still face uncertainty involving supplemental imaging, dense breast tissue, diagnostic follow-up, and unexpected bills. 09:23 — Delayed results and lost momentumLong waits for results can increase anxiety and weaken engagement. Ryan explains why faster feedback can restore patient control and encourage better screening habits. 10:39 — From patient experience to systems changeMammoLink began as an effort to improve the individual screening experience but evolved into a broader model connecting patient behavior, economics, employer interests, and payer incentives. 13:04 — How the mobile imaging model worksRyan describes mobile units containing mammography, ultrasound, changing areas, procedure rooms, and other features typically found in an outpatient imaging center. 13:55 — Bringing screening into workplaces and communitiesRecurring visits to schools, employers, municipalities, and government sites allow patients to receive screening where they already spend their time. 14:20 — Social reinforcement and screening adherenceCoworkers can encourage one another to participate, while returning to the same location each year can make regular screening easier to remember and complete. 16:09 — The economics of mobile mammographyMobile screening carries higher capital and operating costs than traditional outpatient imaging, but Ryan describes it as a high-cost, high-yield model capable of reaching populations that might otherwise remain unscreened. 17:00 — Legislative and payer tailwindsCoverage changes involving supplemental breast imaging, along with growing payer interest, may improve the economic viability of comprehensive mobile screening. 18:27 — Access is also about timeRyan emphasizes that patients can be disadvantaged by limited time and flexibility even when they are not financially disadvantaged. 19:54 — Incentives within traditional imaging pathwaysThe conversation considers how fee-for-service payment can encourage separate visits, while a mobile model has stronger operational reasons to complete as much of the episode as possible in one encounter. 21:02 — HEDIS measures and payer motivationRyan explains how quality measures and Medicare Advantage star ratings can create significant incentives for health plans to improve breast cancer screening rates. 22:27 — MammoLink's no-surprise-billing approachRyan describes the company's decision not to send patients an unexpected bill after the visit, even when that means accepting some lost revenue. 25:05 — Technology supporting payment verificationMammoLink is using automated insurance-verification technology to improve up-front accuracy while preserving its principle of no back-end patient billing. 25:30 — Can transparency increase competition?The discussion turns to whether better consumer awareness of price differences between hospitals, outpatient centers, and alternative providers can eventually place downward pressure on costs. 26:46 — Direct pay, privacy, and convenienceRyan discusses the growing number of patients who choose cash payment because they value privacy, simplicity, or freedom from insurance-related friction. 27:51 — Supporting patients after an abnormal findingMammoLink manages diagnostic evaluation up to the point of biopsy and is developing stronger relationships with breast surgeons and health systems to improve downstream handoffs. 29:55 — The rural breast-imaging access gapRyan describes rural communities where mammography may not be available locally and where patients can postpone evaluating a concerning symptom for long periods. 30:40 — Public-sector and community partnershipsMammoLink works with the Florida Department of Health, migrant health organizations, and other partners to bring screening into underserved areas. 31:52 — Rural transformation funding as infrastructure capitalRyan and James discuss whether public funding could cover the initial cost of mobile units while allowing the operating model to become sustainable without permanent subsidy. 33:13 — Expanding beyond FloridaRyan outlines a potential national growth strategy involving grants, outside investment, and targeted entry into cities or states with favorable conditions. 33:55 — Bootstrapping five mobile unitsRyan discusses building the company without outside venture funding and reflects on the effort required to create its existing mobile fleet. 34:22 — The future of patient-centered mobile screeningRyan distinguishes genuinely patient-centered mobile care from simply relocating a traditional service and argues that future expansion will depend on proving outcomes and financial value. 35:30 — Demonstrating employer return on investmentThe conversation explores using clinical, operational, employee, and geospatial data to help employers measure cancers detected, time saved, employee satisfaction, and potential avoided costs. 37:05 — Employers as a preventive-care access channelRyan predicts that employers could play a larger role in providing screening as they seek to strengthen benefits, workforce health, retention, and trust. 37:38 — AI and emerging breast-cancer detection toolsRyan discusses research involving AI, biological markers, RNA-based technologies, and other emerging tools that may complement mammography and genetic screening. 38:39 — No mission without marginThe episode closes with a reflection on why healthcare innovation must be economically sustainable to achieve lasting scale and impact.

    The Joy of Why
    How Fast Is the Universe Really Expanding?

    The Joy of Why

    One of the biggest mysteries in cosmology seems to keep getting bigger. Astronomers have known since the 1930s that the universe is expanding, but in the 1990s, the discovery that this expansion is accelerating rather than slowing down came as a huge shock to the field. Something had to be driving that acceleration, and dark energy was proposed as the cause. What began as a seismic shock in cosmology eventually led to a Nobel prize. But this story has a sequel, and it comes with another major plot twist. The two main methods for estimating the universe’s present-day expansion rate are producing significantly different answers. As a result, how fast the universe is really expanding has become a matter of considerable debate — with no small amount of angst — and the discrepancy has become known as the Hubble tension. Perhaps most surprising of all is that one of the loudest voices raising concern is Adam Riess, the astrophysicist whose Nobel Prize-winning work helped ignite the acceleration debate in the first place. Riess joined co-host Steven Strogatz on The Joy of Why to explain how we got to this point, what the Hubble tension might be telling us, and what may happen next.
