CoinDesk's The Policy Protocol hosts Rebecca Rettig and Renato Mariotti open on a busy policy week from the UK's FCA opening its crypto firm authorization process to the SEC's new staff FAQ on crypto asset classification, and Robinhood's launch of AI agents that trade for retail customers. They then sit down with former House Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry, who argues the CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate because of election-year politics rather than substance and could still get done in the post-midterm lame duck, and weighs in on who should be accountable when an AI trading agent goes wrong and on the Supreme Court fight over sports prediction markets. Plus, Rebecca and Renato debrief on the SEC's shrinking commissioner ranks and name departing Commissioner Hester Peirce as their Person of the Week. - This episode is brought to you by Grayscale, the world's largest digital asset-focused investment platform.

Comment sections are dying. At least, when it comes to digital media. Platforms like Twitter have become the new place for discourse, and apps like TikTok are changing what the comment section is even for. Slate's comments, however, are special. On today's show, host Kate Lindsay is joined by staff writer Luke Winkie, who dove into the lore of Slate's decades-old commenter community, and even called up his biggest hater to find out what keeps him coming back.

Your poop and your child's poop are some of the clearest windows into what is happening inside the body. But most of us have been taught to plug our noses, flush quickly, and treat elimination as something disgusting or embarrassing.In this episode, Juniper changes the way you understand poop.You will learn what healthy poop looks like from infancy through adulthood, how breastfed and formula-fed baby poop differs, what withholding looks like in toddlers, and why pooping every day doesn't always mean you are eliminating completely.Juniper also breaks down hard pellets, cracked stools, smears, watery poop, undigested food, mucus, unusual colors, floating stools, strong smells, urgency, and incomplete elimination. She explains what these patterns communicate about digestion, absorption, motility, and the gut microbiome.You will also understand why laxatives and fiber don't answer the deeper question of why the body is struggling to eliminate on its own, why poop is one of the body's most important drainage pathways, and how the ōnlē Rebalance Method addresses the internal environment connected to digestion and elimination.When this episode ends, you will never look at poop the same way again.Look before you flush. Your body is communicating.Thanks for listening!

We break down what changes when AI agents become a bigger source of web visits than humans, and why measurement is the only sane response to generative search volatility. We also map the new playbook for go-to-market leaders who want durable advantage by building context, instrumentation, and systems that actually learn.•Agent analytics and deeper web measurement through server logs and segmentation•Turning GEO and AEO into a trackable marketing channel with baselines and experiments•Why the website shifts from destination to structured knowledge layer for AI agents•Context engineering through schema, FAQs, and connected site structure•Why “renting cognitive logic” from LLMs fails to create a moat•Decision tracing as a system for learning from GTM experiments over time•AI integration tax in fragmented stacks and how dynamic blindness breaks workflows•What a harness is and how constraints, monitoring, and stopping rules reduce risk•Leading the shift from point-solution operator to multi-agent orchestrator•Moving boards from token costs to value per token and closed-loop outcomesAI agents are quietly rewriting your analytics dashboard, and most teams are still looking at the old numbers. When bots and crawlers can drive more web visits than humans, “traffic” stops being a simple KPI and becomes a strategy problem: Who is visiting, what model sent them, where do they land, and do they convert? We sit down with Alexander Liss, Executive Advisor of AI Transformation at Brainworks and former VP of Data Science and AI at Huge, to talk about agent analytics, server logs, segmentation, and how to treat generative search optimization as a real, measurable marketing channel.We also go into the "website's" near-death and rebirth. The site is not disappearing, but early discovery is moving into AI Overviews and assistants, which means your content has to work as structured knowledge for machines and as high-trust depth for humans who arrive later. We cover context engineering, schema, FAQ patterns, and why social listening is back as models pull signals from places like YouTube, Wikipedia, and community forums, then change their minds a week later.From there, we get blunt about competitive advantage. If you are only renting cognitive logic from base models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google, you are not building a moat. We unpack decision tracing, the AI integration tax, dynamic blindness in multi-agent workflows, and what it means to build a harness with constraints, monitoring, and stopping conditions so AI systems stay useful and cost-effective. We close with a fast, fun Spark Tank segment on Japanese business systems plus the “three feet from gold” resilience story. Subscribe, share with a growth leader, and leave a review.

Eine Folge fast ohne KI, dafür mit Schrödingers Aufnahmesoftware, die uns 8:30 Uhr morgens gleichzeitig mitteilt, dass sie aufnimmt und nicht aufnimmt. Sie hat am Ende aufgenommen.Mein Aufmacher ist eine Wired-Story, die erstaunlich wenig Wellen geschlagen hat: Mandiant hatte ab März eine über Monate aufgebaute Persona im zwölfköpfigen Kernchat von TeamPCP sitzen, ausgerechnet unter dem Namen CanisterWorm. Die Persona war ursprünglich gar nicht auf TeamPCP angesetzt, sondern wurde als Vertrauter eines anderen Akteurs mit hineingezogen. Google las die Kampagne damit von Tag eins mit, kam an den Server mit den gestohlenen Credentials und ließ Tokens bei AWS und Microsoft sperren. Wir diskutieren, ab wann ein privatwirtschaftliches Unternehmen eigentlich Law Enforcement spielt, und wie unbekümmert wir in dieser Branche mit den Identitäten unserer Analysten umgehen.Max erzählt von seinem Wochenende, das mit einer Signal-Nachricht anfing: "Wer wurde hier auch gerade vom BKA angerufen?" Dahinter steckten zwei Pre-Auth-RCEs in Citrix NetScaler, beide 9.5, beide seit Wochen aktiv ausgenutzt, eine davon in jeder Standardinstallation. Die Empfehlung am Samstag lautete schlicht: Gerät vom Netz. Dazu die ehrliche Frage, was eigentlich passieren muss für eine glatte 10.Dann zwei Bug-Bounty-Geschichten, die gut zusammenpassen: Bei Intel steht das bezahlte Programm plötzlich auf "suspended", parallel ist eins ohne jede Auszahlung aufgetaucht. Offiziell beendet ist nichts, kommuniziert wurde bis heute gar nichts. Und ein 16-Jähriger hat mit seinem selbstgebauten Agenten Antares in Microsofts internem Analytics-System Titan Tokens gefälscht, sich als admin ausgegeben und kam an 17 Datenbanken mit geschätzt 17,3 Billionen Zeilen. Dafür gab es 5.000 Dollar. Ich versuche zu erklären, warum das tatsächlich in Line mit Microsofts Tabellen ist, und warum die Debatte darüber trotzdem an der falschen Stelle geführt wird.Zum Schluss ShinyHunters bei Oracle PeopleSoft: Wer die Schwachstelle nicht patchen konnte und stattdessen den Pfad per WAF gesperrt hat, bekam den Exploit einfach als /%50SEMHUB/ zurück. Ein einziges URL-kodiertes Zeichen. Wir geben beide offen zu, dass wir daran auch nicht gedacht hätten. Mandiants Rat dazu ist deutlich: nicht die eine Variante nachpflegen, sondern auf dem normalisierten Pfad filtern, sonst beginnt das Katz-und-Maus-Spiel bei der nächsten Kodierung von vorn.Wired: An Undercover Google Analyst Infiltrated a Notorious Supply-Chain Hacking Ganghttps://www.wired.com/story/an-undercover-google-analyst-infiltrated-a-notorious-supply-chain-hacking-gang/Austin Larsen (GTIG) über die TeamPCP-Operation, LABScon-Talkhttps://www.labscon.io/speakers/austin-larsen/Wie Google TeamPCP von innen aufbrach (Cyber Kendra)https://www.cyberkendra.com/2026/09/how-google-broke-teampcp-from-the-inside.htmlNetScaler CVE-2026-88771 / 88772: FAQ von watchTowrhttps://watchtowr.com/intelligence/citrix-netscaler-zero-day-vulnerabilities-faq/Citrix bestätigt beide Zero-Days (BleepingComputer)https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/citrix-admins-warned-to-shut-down-netscalers-over-2-exploited-zero-days/Intels Programm ohne Bountieshttps://www.thehackacademy.com/news/intel-public-vulnerability-disclosure-no-bounties/How I Could've Accessed 17 Trillion Microsoft Recordshttps://blog.faav.net/how-i-couldve-accessed-17-trillion-microsoft-recordsMicrosoft Titan: unsigniertes JWT, 17,3 Billionen Zeilen (Help Net Security)https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/09/28/microsoft-titan-jwt-signature-flaw/ShinyHunters umgeht WAF-Regeln bei Oracle PeopleSoft (Mandiant/GTIG)https://www.hendryadrian.com/shinyhunters-renewed-mass-exploitation-campaign-targeting-oracle-peoplesoft-google-cloud-blog/

If you were to be asked to write on a piece of paper just one brief statement about why Jesus came to earth, what would you write?  Many valid reasons could be given, but what if you had to list only one?  Today's message gives us some insight of what happened one day "When Jesus Came to Jericho."  This will shine a bright light on the real purpose of why he came. For more information on the Campground, insider tips and FAQ's, listen to our General Ocean Lakes Podcast, Campground Conversations. 

President Trump announced on Truth Social that he was banning CNN, Politico, and MSNow from the White House because he didn't like their coverage. Within days, a federal judge ordered the outlets be reinstated—but the White House dragged its feet. Hours later, reporters were still locked out and a state dinner with President Xi of China went ahead without them. Jameel Jaffer of the Knight First Amendment Institute joins Dahlia Lithwick to explain the First Amendment and due-process arguments at the heart of the case, why the administration's national security justification fell apart in court, and what it means when a president seems indifferent to judicial orders. Together, they trace the broader pattern of press intimidation, including this administration's recent bans on the Associated Press and on Pentagon reporters. And, they discuss something new: news organizations standing together in solidarity for the first time, and why Jaffer thinks we're already living in an authoritarian moment—whether we've noticed or not.Want more Amicus?

Dumbphones are a popular recommendation for people looking to reduce their screen time, but it's not as simple as it looks. When writer Stephanie Murray made the switch, while she found it did solve many of her problems, it created them for pretty much everyone else around her. On today's show, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Murray, who wrote about her experience for The New York Times, to discuss how the outside world is also too smartphone-dependent, and what people should know before taking the dumbphone plunge. This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay, with help from Kevin Bendis. Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

We provide takeaways following a number of New York City Climate Week events we attended this past week. We are going with an optimistic take directed at those of you that place a high priority on addressing carbon emissions: in my 34 year career, the outlook for new energy technologies has never been brighter. The vast bulk of new energy tech is de facto lower carbon in nature. The favorable outlook is being driven by economic and geopolitical security fundamentals that are consistent with energy's natural hierarchy of needs along with our Lucky 1 Billion Other 7 Billion person framing. This is and always has been the basis for all energy and economic development. Notable events we attended were hosted by the US-India Strategic Partnership, ClearPath and API, and the Center On Global Energy Policy—developing world, right of center, left of center were represented and all recognized energy's natural hierarchy of needs. Pretending carbon emissions is anyone's organizing principle, mercifully, was not the view at any of the events. Notably, decreased carbon intensity of economic growth was the clear result of the focus of everyone on Earth deserving to be energy rich. 0:00 Introduction 3:07 FAQ on Climate 10:28 On A Personal Note: I ❤️ New York

Dan debuted a new "Yachty" sound effect. The first block of balcony cabins sold out, and Tony from Ahoy Cruises got a second block at $20 more, which he was angry about for the listeners' sake. Inside cabins are still at the original price, but another block could cost more. Deposits are fully refundable until a couple of months before sailing. The hosts mocked anyone who cancels. Falcons and Garth tonight. Tom was still wound up after the Falcons game, where a rough first quarter gave way to a strong performance. Moe DeWitt invited the crew, Ross included, to the Garth Brooks show at the Kia Center that night. They joked about how many people dropped out before Tom and Dan got invited, and guessed Buzz Stecker would skip it. Crystal had been playing Garth's greatest hits on Amazon Music (the audio quality got panned), and a host's daughter caught him in "Garth mode." Favorites included "Callin' Baton Rouge" and "Friends in Low Places." Billionaire musicians quiz. A report that Garth considered selling his catalog, valued around $2 billion, led into a guessing game about the six billionaire musicians. The crew landed Jay-Z, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna. Rihanna got an asterisk because most of her money comes from her cosmetics line. Ross also floated "A billion is a lot" as a T-shirt. Chris Gaines deep dive. Dan went down the Chris Gaines rabbit hole: Gaines was written as a fictional Australian rock star from Brisbane, with a made-up back catalog. The album was meant to set up a movie called The Lamb, a thriller about a fan trying to prove Gaines was murdered. The character was written as a sex addict, and Garth would have needed an Australian accent. The album sold about 2 million copies and became Garth's only Top 40 pop hit. The SNL episode where Garth hosted and introduced Gaines as the musical guest confused a host's dad. The hosts compared the idea to Borat and to found-footage horror. A host remembered seeing a found-footage film at the Enzian with its UCF filmmakers and believing it was real. Caller Cara: nanny stories. Cara was a nanny for a top makeup artist who worked with Garth, Faith Hill, Reba and others. She said Garth's team went along with the Gaines look because nobody told him no. She lived on the artist's property in her early 20s and fried okra and chicken at Faith Hill's Southern-style baby shower. The artist's husband played in Barbara Mandrell's band. The hosts brought up Tom's childhood nanny again. They also recalled the Gaines album ending up in bargain bins once record stores over-ordered. Garth, music rights, and yes-men. Garth fought used-CD stores in 1995, resisted iTunes, and launched his own download service, GhostTunes, later absorbed into Amazon Music. The hosts roasted his naming choices: GhostTunes, The Lamb, a fake Gaines album called "Fornicopia," and his production company Red Strokes. Tom created the "Castleberry Garth" bit about rich stars who won't take notes from employees. Claims from a 2013 lawsuit by an ex-business partner: Garth supposedly passed on Twister (the Helen Hunt role) and Saving Private Ryan to avoid sharing the spotlight. His Padres spring training stint was for charity (a donation to Boys & Girls Clubs), not a real tryout. Dan admitted arguing with Claude about it before conceding. Pre-internet news coverage made stunts like this confusing. Caller Charles: concert parking. BDM Charles was taking his wife to the Garth show for their 23rd anniversary and asked for parking tips. The hosts first gave joke advice: tip a random guy in a construction vest to valet your car. Then came real tips about the Kia Center lots and a gate most people don't know about. Dan's partner Andrea has a secret back-alley parking route. The crew planned crispy tavern-style pizza downtown and Uber rides home. Ross's Uber nightmare. After Wu-Tang Clan at the MidFlorida amphitheater in Tampa, Ross and his wife could see their Hard Rock hotel balcony but had I-4 in the way. Rideshare signs led them nowhere, and the app's pickup point was a slab of concrete in an empty fairgrounds field. The driver stayed in a different lot and stopped answering, while black SUVs kept offering rides. They ended up walking toward a distant Hampton Inn. Chat and hosts piled on about Uber's decline (rider-rating filtering, cancellations) and a Waymo that got stuck in traffic. Break: ska block. The Family Business Limited's "Still a Jamaican" (new album out today) and the Barstool Preachers' "Want to Know" (pick of the week), followed by the Trail of Terror read. Oviedo e-bike arrest. A News 6 clip covered an 11-year-old in Oviedo who got a written arrest for riding a Sur-Ron-style electric dirt bike near Sweetwater Park. He bought it with $900 from selling squirrel picnic tables. The charges were an unregistered vehicle, no insurance, no motorcycle endorsement, and no eye protection. His father called it an overreach, and the boy will miss school for court. Tom recalled his brother getting a written arrest for riding a dirt bike on the street. Officer interview: e-bike law. A BDM police officer (name unclear in the transcript) called in: The crackdown follows a wave of crashes and kids getting hurt, plus newer statutes that classify e-bikes. With working pedals it's a bicycle. With the pedals removed it's a motor vehicle. Fake pedals may get riders by some officers. Enforcement is at the officer's discretion: a civil infraction with a misdemeanor consequence. Registering a Sur-Ron takes blinkers, lights, and a plate. Dan's old scooter has only an antique tag. Stand-up scooters are speed-regulated, and OneWheels are unregulated. You can get a DUI on anything motorized. Adults can be charged for letting an unlicensed minor drive. Traffic court has a hearing officer, not prosecutors. Seminole County is stricter than Orange. Afterward the hosts wondered how their Miami friend Turkey Leg, who rides one, would react. Wu-Tang concert recap. Ross described the night: Bone Thugs-n-Harmony opened with medleys, including an Eazy-E tribute and a Biggie and Tupac tribute. RZA gave a spoken history of the group, then the set ran through 36 Chambers material and solo spots for Method Man, Ghostface, Raekwon, Cappadonna, and a Mobb Deep member. Method Man showed off his physique and hair, which set up the TRT joke. There was a memorial tribute to late rappers. The reveal: ODB's parts were performed by his son, Young Dirty Bastard. His mother tried to steer him away from music, and RZA didn't cast him in the American Saga series. The hosts traded ODB stories and tried, unsuccessfully, to play a TRL clip. Seacrest and aging. A host's parents cut cable and now use an antenna for NFL games, which means catching Ryan Seacrest on Wheel of Fortune. The crew discussed Seacrest's changed face, weight loss versus cosmetic work, and his frosted tips at his age. Vanna White came up too. Tom said he's getting gray streaks and would dye his hair, which got jokes about jet-black "magician hair." Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Nathan Fielder's secretive Holmes documentary screened at a festival with breathless reviews but no specifics. It's rated R for graphic nudity. The leading theory was that it includes a childbirth video. The crew expected a three-hour absurdist art piece and joked about betting on its reception on Kalshi. They noted a trailer scene where her husband takes the whisk from her while she's making eggs. Ross's theory: the story turns to Holmes cheating on him. That led to a tangent on Italian brainrot videos, Skibidi Toilet being over, "6-7," and how much Fortnite has changed. Break: pop punk block. Rivals' "Adrenaline Rush," the Modern PI read, and Cartel. "Mother of the Year" video. In a viral Giants broadcast clip, a mom juggles a baby, a carrier, and stacks of food and drinks back to her seat while her husband sits idle, and the announcers roast him. Tom defended the dad, saying partners who don't ask for help end up making the other person look bad. The others ribbed him for how he phrased it. Dan described Andrea handing off their daughter at Magic and Orlando City games so she could take a break. Ross offered a gentler defense, citing $25 concert beers and sending his wife to the beer tent. Dan shared Andrea's backhanded compliment that she's glad he drinks less, but "even this one scares me." Dripstick product. Ross got a targeted ad after Monday's cruise talk about tampons. The product is Awkward Essentials' Dripstick, a post-sex sponge applicator. The hosts read the instructions, then argued at length about hygiene and peeing after sex. Dan explained his cleanup routine, and Tom compared it to cleaning a paint sprayer or a beer line. The product's FAQ recommends peeing afterward anyway. The punchline was a "69 for $69" deal, which gave the episode its title, plus a joke return address on the "discreet packaging." Caller Toad King. Last call of the day: a crude one-liner about the post-sex topic, with nothing substantive. Tom's crazy fact: snakebites. The US averages about 5 snakebite deaths a year, and Tom asked the crew to guess India's number. The answer is about 58,000, mostly rural. The crew discussed the colonial snake-bounty story (often called an urban legend), India's "big four" venomous snakes, the Monsters of God documentary, and a story about someone stealing a nearly extinct tortoise breeding population. Plugs and wrap. Ross plugged The Orlando Talk Show and the Moe Comedy Jam. The cruise price increase got a reminder, and they announced Villain Roasters' new location with a possible Tom & Dan chicken-and-waffle item and a meetup. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Today (Friday): Garth Brooks at the Kia Center, with the crew attending as Moe DeWitt's guests. The Family Business Limited's new album is out.

In the early 1970s, a jigsaw puzzle of a cheerful, young, naked, fat woman known only as “Bridget in the Buff” arrived in stores all over America. It was just the first of countless Bridget-related merchandise that would be sold around the world for the next decade: calendars, playing cards, coloring books, cookbooks, and much more. Bridget was everywhere. But who was she?In this episode of Decoder Ring, the real Bridget reveals all. Her name is Dawn Brooks, and she takes us through the unusual path that led her to pose nude for scores of popular products. How does it feel to be a gag gift—and now, an unlikely icon?Besides Dawn, you'll hear from her friends Leslie Block Prip, Kathy McDermott, and John Emery; Herb Kavet, whose company created the “Bridget in the Buff” line of products; and Bridget admirers Laura Mazzuca Toops and Ginger Geralamo.Thank you to Brenda Oelbaum, and to Molly Brown and Olivia Dever from the Northeastern University Archives and Special Collections.This episode was written by Willa Paskin and produced by Evan Chung, our Supervising Producer.

In the 1970s, Dolly Parton parlayed her Nashville success into megawatt pop-culture icon status—yet many of her familiar hits of the era barely scratched the Top 40. Parton finally crossed over at the turn of the '80s by courting pop fans directly. Nearly five decades later, country music is ubiquitous on the pop charts, with Ella Langley's “Choosin' Texas” recently setting a record for most weeks at No. 1. On this installment of Hit Parade, Chris Molanphy examines the chart rules that limited Parton's pop-chart potential, the trail she blazed for Langley and other country women, and why the Nashville sound is much more than just an island in the (digital) stream.For more about country to pop crossover stardom listen to Hit Parade's episode on John Denver and Olivia Newton John and read Chris's Slate column about Ella Langley's chart dominance.Pssst!

Like clockwork, another article has created a moral panic about so-called “sickfluencers,” or people—usually women—who share online about their illnesses and disabilities. Critics argue that the rise of these diagnoses and creators is some kind of social contagion, with participants faking their symptoms for social media attention. But these fears are not just overblown—they're harmful. On today's show, host Kate Lindsay is joined by social psychologist Devon Price, author of Unmasking Autism and Laziness Does Not Exist, to discuss the realities of this trend, and why so much of the criticism is rooted in sexism. This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?

You've read the books. You've locked the phone in a drawer. You've set a hard cut-off at 8 PM. And none of it has lasted more than two weeks. That's exactly where Shaun found himself. By day he's a senior corporate strategy leader at Bupa, and by night he's the volunteer operations manager for a junior footy club responsible for 450 kids across eight teams. The systems he runs at work are tight. The systems he runs at home? Nowhere to be seen. In this Work Edit, I sit down with Shaun to figure out why the productivity habits that protect him in his corporate role have never made it home, and what it would actually take to change that. We get into AI knowledge agents, ghost mode, setting expectations as an act of generosity, and a specific gratitude practice I think is worth trying even if you find most of them a bit naff. If you've ever been brilliant at boundary-setting for everyone else and terrible at it for yourself, this one's for you. Shaun and I discuss: Why Shaun's corporate productivity systems work flawlessly at Bupa but have never crossed over into his volunteer role or home life The AI knowledge agent idea: how building a self-serve FAQ for 450 families could cut the stream of evening messages and remove Shaun as the constant bottleneck Staying in your lane: why context switching between work mode and parent mode leaves you doing neither well, and the simple question that helps you catch yourself doing it Ghost mode: the difference between locking your phone away and actually choosing to be fully present, and why that reframe matters Setting expectations as an act of generosity: how a simple autoresponder or comms window can relieve the guilt of not responding instantly, without making you seem rigid Three good things: a specific gratitude practice, grounded in research, that quiets a busy work brain at night, and why doing it with your kids makes it even more powerful More from How I Work If you related to Shaun's struggle with an always-on role that never quite lets you clock off, I think you'll love my conversation with Katie. She's 18 months into a consulting portfolio career, and saying no is a muscle she's still building. Requests were multiplying faster than she could field them, which is honestly just the same problem wearing a different outfit. Listen to Katie's episode here.

This episode dives deep into the distinction between SEO marketing research and strategy, emphasizing the foundational role of your website for long-term discoverability, authority, and monetization.

Jim Edwards discusses how to create an order bump with AI. Most marketers ask the wrong question at checkout: What else can I sell them?Ask this instead: What will help them get the result they just paid for faster, better, or easier?A great bump usually does one of four things:• Improves the result. Templates can help a course buyer implement faster. A workbook can help a workshop attendee leave with something finished.• Creates an easy button. A checklist, calculator, script, or swipe file reduces effort and uncertainty.• Adds a natural companion. Someone buys the printed book, then adds the audiobook. The connection makes sense instantly.• Prepares them for the next problem. Someone generates leads, then needs follow-up. Someone writes a book, then needs a launch plan.Information tells people what to do. An easy button helps them actually do it.The best order bumps solve the friction created by saying yes.Use the B.U.M.P. TestBefore you add anything to checkout, run it through this four-part test.B: Builds on What They Already BoughtThe connection should be obvious without a paragraph of explanation.Picnic table plus instant picnic kit. Book plus audiobook. Workshop plus workbook.If you need a conspiracy board and three pieces of red string to explain the relationship, choose a different bump.U: Unlocks Speed, Ease, or a Better ResultYour bump should remove work, delay, confusion, or risk.It does not need to transform the buyer's entire life. It needs to make the next part of the journey smoother.M: Makes Sense in Five SecondsCheckout is not the place for a new education campaign.The buyer should understand what it is, why it matters, and what it costs almost instantly.If your bump needs a video sales letter, a stack slide, and a FAQ, congratulations. You may have built another offer. It just does not belong in the checkbox.P: Protects the Value of the Main OfferThe original purchase must still feel complete.Use what I call the Penalty Test:If the buyer says no to the bump, will they still feel fully served by the main product?If the answer is no, fix the main offer.That test protects trust. And trust is worth more than the quick bump revenue you can squeeze out of a disappointed customer.Build Your Bump in 30 Minutes – See how Jim Edwards explains this simple but profitable concept at https://www.copyandcontent.ai

Stefan's mother said he was too smart for public school and took him out of 4th grade. But instead of studying, Stefan's homeschool curriculum was organized around keeping his mother company and pretending he wouldn't grow up and leave her. In this episode, Stefan Merrill Block talks about his five year homeschool experience, how it shaped him as a father and writer, and the ambivalence of loving a parent while recognizing the harm they caused. Stefan Merrill Block's memoir Homeschooled is out now.Podcast production by Zoe Azulay Death, Sex & Money is now produced by Slate!

Two hundred episodes ago, I started the Follow Your Gut podcast because I wanted to create what I desperately needed while healing my son… a place where someone who understood how hard it was behind closed doors, believed what I was seeing, and could hold hope for me when mine had been crushed by years of dismissal.For this 200th episode, I am not sharing 200 lessons, revisiting the most downloaded episodes, or giving you another list of healing tips. I am sharing what I now know with absolute certainty after healing my son, building ōnlē, and supporting tens of thousands of families.I know you are not imagining the patterns you see. Your body is not betraying you. Your child's body is communicating. Common does not mean normal. Healing is safe, your intuition is so important, and you are the most powerful leader of your own health and your family's health.I also explain why healing asks you to become someone new, how familiar survival patterns can create subconscious resistance, and why you have to stop hoping for the outcome and begin looking beyond the turn with the knowing that you and your child are already healing.If your hope has been crushed by being dismissed, gaslit, or passed from specialist to specialist, let me hold it for you today.I believe you. I believe IN you. And I know you can heal.Thanks for listening! I can't wait for you to experience the ōNLē transformation. ♡Subscribe to the Nourished NewsletterExplore the Gut Rebalance KitsVisit our FAQ'sFollow along on a InstagramTake the free Gut Health QuizEmail us at customercare@onleorganics.comSending love and wellness from my family yours,xx - Juniper BennettFounder of ōNLē ORGANICS

John Briggs is a CPA and entrepreneur, who's built beautiful things by taking breaks.John's formative years were split, first in California in a big city environment where he felt like safety was being invisible, becoming invisible. Then he moved to Missouri, to a city of 2000 and a graduating class in his high school of 70.There were lessons in both of those places, and a big one was about trusting himself.John also shares his moment of realizing that the hustle culture he had mindlessly subscribed to was materially damaging his relationship with his wife and children. His wife cut through a lot of noise when she said, one night when he arrived home at 2 AM from work, "I am a single parent."So, John began taking steps to bring his professional life more in line with his desires to show up best for his family, and ultimately himself. John shares that the "secret agenda" with this book is to help people show up for themselves better, and have a fulfilling life.I loved both this conversation and John's book, and I hope you do too.Connect With JohnWebsite, takebreaksworkbetter.comSubstack, https://therealjohnbriggs.substack.comUpcoming Events with KayIt would be amazing to see some friends and neighbors at my upcoming solo exhibition at the Unity Public Library in Unity, Maine!Click here to visit the library's website for more information on the exhibition (they'll share as we get closer to October.)

Football season is now upon us.  This is a source of joy to many fans, and maybe not so much for those who care nothing for the sport.  There are many exciting aspects to a football game, but one of the least thrilling parts of any game is the huddle - - where the players get together and decide what they will do next.  Have you ever thought what it would be like if the players just stayed there and never left the huddle?  Well, that's what the sermon is about today: "When It's Time to Leave the Huddle." For more information on the Campground, insider tips and FAQ's, listen to our General Ocean Lakes Podcast, Campground Conversations. 

David Plotz talks with journalist Annie Lowrey about her new book The Time Tax: How the Government Wastes Our Time—and How to Fix It, an investigation into the hours Americans lose to broken bureaucracy, from 12-hour tax filings to multiyear waits for housing vouchers and building permits. Lowrey traces the waste to what she calls the “ordeal mechanism,” the deliberate friction built into some programs to weed out the “undeserving,” alongside outdated technology like the COBOL code still running state unemployment systems. She and Plotz discuss why the burden falls hardest on poor people and immigrants, why Social Security remains one of the few programs that treats recipients with dignity, and why DOGE did nothing to fix any of it.

You've seen the headlines about the lists, the claims, the THREE times this same executive order about voting by mail has gone to the Supreme Court. But is Trump's interference with mail-in voting settled—at least with respect to the midterms? Our go-to election law expert, Richard Hasen of UCLA School of Law, joins Dahlia to unpack what just happened and how this postal chaos alters voters' sense of election security. We're calling this discussion “information” and not “catastrophizing.” Hasen has this advice for listeners: get out there and vote in-person. Next, Sam Sankar of the environmental-law organization Earthjustice explains why SCOTUS' longstanding skepticism towards the environment does not make him as pessimistic as one might expect. He also takes us behind the scenes in two environmental cases that will kick off the Supreme Court term in a few weeks, including an appeal over whether the Air Force may continue to blow stuff up over an historic beach in Guam.Want more Amicus?

A former Anthropic employee claimed AI would lead to the end of humanity, and soon. In the weeks since, the “whistleblower” has done a full press tour, with even Anthropic and OpenAI themselves seeming to cosign this claim. As a result, hysteria has ensued—and that's exactly what these AI companies want. On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Better Offline host and #1 AI Hater Ed Zitron to debunk the doomsdayers, and explain why, exactly, these companies are so interested in the end of the world.

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss whether this week's Supreme Court intervention rejecting Trump's mail-in ballot restrictions will prevent midterm chaos, explore the fast-evolving dynamics of public and political anxieties about AI, and dissect remarkable new reporting from ProPublica exposing the Putin-adjacent Russian oligarch who paid for much of Donald Trump Jr.'s private island wedding.Here are this week's chatters: Emily: New podcast Examined: The Backfire Effect, by Josie Duffy Rice; Supremacy: How Rule by the Court Replaced Government by the People by Nikolas Bowie and Daphna Renan John: Wild Card with Rachel Martin (NPR): John Dickerson says doubt only helps to solidify his faith; Derek DelGaudio's In & Of Itself (Trailer on YouTube) (Streaming on Hulu); Linda Holmes for NPR: 'In & Of Itself' Is A Study Of Identity And Magic; AMORALMAN: A True Story and Other Lies by Derek DelGaudio David: Colin from Accounts on Paramount Plus; Daniel Wu for The Washington Post: Pollution spikes after Trump halted global air-monitoring efforts, report says Listener chatter from Julian Ozen in Brooklyn, NY: Ordinary Abundance For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss what California Gov. Gavin Newsom told Jake Tapper about running for president in 2028. They discuss the signaling work of the fly-fishing tableau, what Newsom is really saying about Harris, and whether there's an appetite in the Democratic party for either of them to run. In the latest Gabfest Reads, David Plotz talks with John Lanchester about his new novel, Look What You Made Me Do, a darkly funny psychological thriller about two couples in modern-day London whose lives collide in a story of infidelity, obsession, and revenge. The book explores the performance of niceness, class, intergenerational frictions and how technology makes vengeance not just possible but almost exceedingly easy in the modern age.

Pregnant werewolves and surprise quadruplets are just two of the tropes you might find while watching what might be the next evolution of TV: vertical microdramas. Told in 90 second clips, these stories are soap operas for the smartphone era, and are keeping the industry afloat during an otherwise turbulent time for Hollywood. On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Yahoo senior culture reporter Kelsey Weekman to hear why dedicated fans are tuning into such ridiculous stories, and how AI is already threatening to bring this rare good thing to an end.

Anna Blake started an OnlyFans account, not as a pleasure project, but to achieve some financial stability. When she found out she hated the work and made little money, her relationship to sex – and to money – had to change. This week on the show, she talks to Anna Sale about being homeschooled as a kid, having few job prospects as a young adult with a G.E.D., and the class conversation that she feels is missing from the discourse about sex work.

Capitulation under Trump 2.0 has been devastating to the rule of law. To review a couple of lowlights: One of the nation's leading lawyers, Brad Karp, cut a deal with Donald Trump in the first days of the bully-in-chief's second administration that turned out to constitute five flabby bullet points on an unsigned piece of paper. Chief Justice John Roberts is pretending the president is a generic Republican. Dahlia Lithwick talks to Jacob Weisberg about his new book, Profiles in Cowardice, which examines the flawed individuals leading institutions that were meant to hold the line in Trump's second term but instead gave up almost instantly. They unpack the law firm Paul, Weiss' capitulation in an "agreement" with Trump that protects nobody, Chief Justice John Roberts' fatal bet that the Supreme Court can preserve its prestige while the Justice Department defies federal judges, and Senate enthusiast Mitch McConnell's self-defeating legacy of remaking a judiciary that empowered a president to sideline the Senate entirely. Dahlia and Jacob also examine the first signs of a countervailing force, from Harvard's refusal to make a deal to the question of what Joint Chiefs chairman Dan Caine will do if tested around the midterms.Jacob Weisberg's book is Profiles in Cowardice: A Study of Collaboration in the Trump Era, published by Penguin Press.Want more Amicus?

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss why Republicans are holding an unusual midterm convention and what it says about the state of the race at the homestretch, talk about the new book Profiles in Cowardice: A Study of Collaboration in the Trump Era with author Jacob Weisberg, and reflect on memories and historical consequences on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attack. Here are this week's chatters: Emily: Hansi Lo Wang for NPR: Trump officials propose sweeping changes to the census that would reshape voting maps; Data Are Made, Not Found: A Story of Politics, Power, and the Civil Servants Who Saved the US Census by danah boyd; Charity and Sylvia by Tillie Walden John: Associated Press: US Attorney confirms no meth was found in van of Texas man shot by immigration officers; Kristen Wong for Sports Illustrated: At His Highest Moment, Frances Tiafoe Rose Even Higher.

For this week's Slate Plus bonus episode, Emily, John, and David discuss this week's big AI story, a researcher's resignation from Anthropic and his dire warnings about AI's imminent dangers to humanity, with guest Nathan Calvin, general counsel at Encode. They discuss the exponential pace of AI development, what the big companies are or are not doing to protect humans from apocalypse, and the simultaneous governmental and industry cooperation that could help manage risks. In the latest Gabfest Reads, David Plotz talks with John Lanchester about his new novel, Look What You Made Me Do, a darkly funny psychological thriller about two couples in modern-day London whose lives collide in a story of infidelity, obsession, and revenge.

Podcasts are everywhere. They're more popular and influential than they've ever been. But at the same time, what makes a podcast a “podcast” has never been more confusing.Until recently, the definition of “podcast” was clear: audio distributed over the internet. A podcast was something you listened to, not something you watched. But now, almost all of the most popular podcasts have video, too. And most of these podcasts share a video-friendly format: two or three people chatting behind big bulky microphones.You may have noticed that our podcast, Decoder Ring, does not have video, so these developments have given our team, like many other podcast-makers, no shortage of anxiety. In this week's episode, we're embracing our inner chatcast: host Willa Paskin and supervising producer Evan Chung trace the history and evolution of podcasting through their own histories with the medium, and wrestle with their complicated feelings about the state of the format in 2026.This episode was produced by Max Freedman. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director. Our intern is Phoebe Mulder. Video production by Micah Phillips. Special thanks to Amanda Dobbins, Leon Neyfakh, Nick Quah, Ben Richmond, Amber Robinson, Susan Matthews, Mary Harris, and Mia Lobel.If you have any cultural mysteries you want us to decode, email us at DecoderRing@slate.com or leave a message on our hotline at (347) 460-7281.Sources for This Episode“How YouTube Ate Podcasts and TV,” Galaxy Brain, Dec. 12, 2025.Kang, Jay Caspian. “CNN's ‘Podcast Look' and the Slow Death of Cable News,” The New Yorker, March 24, 2026.Quah, Nicholas. “Will Video Kill the Audio Star in 2025?” New York Magazine, Dec. 31, 2024.Testa, Jessica. “It Was Just a Podcast.
