In this episode, Farhad Manjoo (author of Slate's r/Farhad column) joins Prudie (Jenée Desmond-Harris) to answer letters from readers about how a 72-year-old introvert can become more social, when it's okay to pop up unannounced at a romantic partner's house and expect to have dinner, and whether you're being unreasonable for not attending a family vacation because you didn't get the upgrade you requested.

I love that old song by Player: “Baby Come Back” — especially when the singer says: “I was wrong…” It is not that easy to say. But, we do. Because we must. In late July, the Sunday New York Times devoted an entire section to that topic – “I Was Wrong.” The editors of the New York Times invited a cadre of their op-ed writers – among them, as pictured above, Farhad Manjoo, Paul Krugman, Bret Stephens, and Gail Collins – to describe how they had been wrong about what they had once thought, and about what they had once written. It was dazzling — an evocation of one of the themes of the High Holy Day season. “I was wrong.” I asked several of my friends and colleagues — all of them, veteran thought leaders in the American Jewish community — to describe those moments in their careers when they were wrong, didn't get it, or didn't see something coming. My guests: Rabbi Dan Freelander, one of the senior leaders of the Reform movement – who has held many positions within the Reform Jewish world, and is retired from his position as president of the World Union for Progressive Judaism, and is a popular singer of Jewish music, with Kol B'Seder. Rabbi Laura Geller, one of the first woman rabbis in North America; former Hillel director, director of Los Angeles office of the American Jewish Congress, and rabbi emerita of Temple Emanuel in Beverly Hills. She, along with her late husband Richard Siegel, is the author of Getting Good at Getting Older. Rabbi Sherre Hirsch, a rabbi and author who currently serves as the Chief Innovation Officer for American Jewish University. Rabbi Karyn Kedar, rabbi emerita of Congregation B'nai Joshua Beth Elohim in Deerfield, Illinois, and author

This week, an antiwar protester interrupted a Moscow broadcast with a sign in Russian reading: “Stop the war. Don't believe the propaganda. They are lying to you here.” With the Russian government promoting propaganda on news channels and most recently passing a law to punish people spreading “false information” about the Ukraine invasion, it's been hard to distill what is actually going on in both Russia and Ukraine right now. The confusion has resulted in what Masha Gessen recently described as parallel realities transpiring in Russia and an outright denial of war in Ukraine.So how can you make sense of what is true in our world of information, especially when anyone can use propaganda not only to change your mind but also to overwhelm you?Jane Coaston talks to the Soviet-born British journalist Peter Pomerantsev to talk about propaganda and how those in power — and the everyday person — use it to undermine the fabric of society and our collective understanding. Pomerantsev is a senior fellow at Johns Hopkins University and the author of the 2019 book “This Is Not Propaganda.” He talks to Jane about Vladimir Putin's mythmaking and propaganda machine and how we as information consumers can make sense of what we know as truth.Mentioned in this episode:“Ukrainians Find That Relatives in Russia Don't Believe It's a War” by Valerie Hopkins in The New York Times“Putin No Longer Seems Like a Master of Disinformation” by Farhad Manjoo in The New York Times“This Is Not Propaganda” by Peter Pomerantsev“Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible” by Peter Pomerantsev“The Mass Ornament: Weimar Essays” by Siegfried Kracauer(A full transcript of the episode will be available midday on the Times website.)
New York Times columnist Farhad Manjoo was never a very good sleeper, and his job as a tech journalist certainly came with its stress. When he discovered a simple technique for relaxing, he says his life changed for the better. Reset learns how to relax so you can too.
As the days left in 2021 dwindle, you may feel that annual tug to judge this calendar year as cruelly as possible. After all, it was yet another year lived in a pandemic, on a warming planet, with teetering democracies and aspirational autocrats (tune in next week for that debate). But is it actually true? Did the world really get worse in 2021?For this Very NYT Opinion New Year's Eve* episode of “The Argument,” Jane Coaston called upon podcast listeners and Opinion voices like the columnists Michelle Goldberg, Farhad Manjoo and Jamelle Bouie, the editorial board member Michelle Cottle and the musician and contributing writer Tom Morello to make the case for whether the world will enter 2022 a little bit better, or a little bit worse for wear.*close enoughMentioned in this episode:Michelle Goldberg's column “The Problem of Political Despair”Michelle Cottle's editorials on Liz Cheney, Joe Manchin, progressive frustrations with Democrats and the future elections that could shake both partiesJamelle Bouie's newsletter on “Nightmare on Elm Street” — sign up for Jamelle's newsletter hereFarhad Manjoo's columns on the wind and solar energy boom, the California drought and the carbon footprint of travelTom Morello's newsletter on his 98-year-old mom's radical compassion — sign up for Tom's newsletter here“Devil Put the Coal in the Ground,” by Steve Earle“The Argument” episode on qualified immunity and Tony Timpa's case
It's clear people want to live near good jobs with affordable homes, low crime, and far from the devastation of climate change. Farhad Manjoo is an opinion columnist for The New York Times, and he joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why, after filtering tens of thousands of towns with populations over a thousand, he arrived at the conclusion that cities in North Texas are among the most desirable in the country. His recent article is headlined “Everyone's Moving to Texas. Here's Why.”

Good morning, RVA! It’s 57 °F, and our streak of amazing weather may end this afternoon. There’s a decentish chance for rain starting after lunch and continuing on through the evening. Same kind of deal on Saturday, too. Temperatures look great, though, so I think as long as you can dodge the rain, you’ve still got a good chance for some solid out-of-doors time this weekend.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,928 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 21 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 225 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 67, Henrico: 88, and Richmond: 70). Since this pandemic began, 1,241 people have died in the Richmond region. Hmmm, a new reported case count number just a hair shy of 2,000—don’t love that. Here’s this week’s stacked chart of new reported cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. And, aside from the absolutely useless deaths graph, I think you can clearly see we’re in a “will they or won’t they” phase. I get that basically maintaining the current level of disease spread as we head into Memorial Day, the end of the semester, and nicer weather all round seems like decent progress, but, dang, these numbers are still numbers that would have terrified us back in the fall. I know that this section of the email has become a boring and skippable place where I repeat myself about the importance of staying disease vigilant, but, like, that’s still what we should be doing! I mean, check out the UVA Model update from a couple of days ago. All scenarios, even the best case ones, have us cresting a new peak of disease around the first week of May. With only 34% of Virginia with at least one dose of the vaccine, we’re nowhere near a place where herd immunity will protect Us—like the larger, communal us.I haven’t seen it reflected in any of my vaccine chartsandgraphs yet, but the New York Times reports that due to that Baltimore factory screw up, Johnson & Johnson will “allocate 86 percent fewer doses across the United States next week than are currently being allocated.” These are big, mega drops in the amount of vaccine states were expecting. For example, California got 527,700 doses of J&J last week, this week it will only get 67,600. According to this CDC table, which I hadn’t seen until this morning, Virginia received 124,700 J&J doses this week and will only get 14,800 next week. Yikes. If you were hoping to get a one-and-done Johnson & Johnson shot over the next little while, you should probably temper that expectation.The Richmond Times-Dispatch’s Kenya Hunter reports that Micky Ogburn will step down as chairwoman of the Henrico County School Board. Ogburn shared a dumb conservative-outrage Facebook post about Dr. Seuss a couple weeks back, and, since then, a few folks had called for her to step down from her leadership position—including at least one fellow boardmember. Important clarification: Ogburn is not resigning resigning, just stepping down from her leadership position. She will still represent Henrico’s Three Chopt District on the School Board.Also in the RTD by Rex Springston, check out this interesting oral history of how the Northside’s Bryan Park has changed over the last couple of decades. I had no idea the park narrowly avoided a horrible, worst-case future as a golf course! Or that in the 90s the City used the middle of the park to dump trash and abandon vehicles. Fascinating. Two notes: First, Bryan Park is great, and I’m thankful for the hard work that went into saving it and helping it thrive as a public space; Second, there are definitely some dog whistles in this piece about why the park was “seedy” in the 90s. Beware.Sometimes I come across things that are incredibly boring but feel like I should know more about. Dominion Energy’s triennial review is just one of those things, and I appreciate the Virginia Mercury’s Sarah Vogelsong for explaining it in a bearable, nearly enjoyable way. Why does the triennial review matter? “At the most basic level, the triennial review matters because it determines whether the base rates Dominion’s customers have been paying over the past four years have been reasonable.” You don’t have a choice about who you buy your electricity from, so reviews like this (theoretically) prevent the monopoly from gouging you on rates (theoretically). More importantly, why is it called a triennial review when it covers four years? “Let’s get this one out of the way: Yes, Dominion’s 2021 triennial review covers the four years from 2017 to 2020. No, it does not make sense.” Love it.Remember: Today at 12:00 PM, the City will host its last virtual public meeting (for now) on the proposed resort casino. You can join in via Microsoft teams and hear a report-out of the community feedback up to this point. I think this is a repeat of yesterday’s meeting, video of which should be posted online at some point soon. Now, the “evaluation panel,” will take a look at the proposals and community feedback and make a recommendation on their preferred location/proposal to City Council. That should happen in the next couple of months. Who sits on the evaluation panel? A bunch of folks you may recognize: Councilmembers Addison and Robertson, CAO Lincoln Saunders, and then a bunch of high-ups from the City (including Maritza Pechin, the new head of the Office of Equitable Development). Stressful work for that crew over the next several weeks—good luck!It’s day nine of /r/rva’s obsession with Brookland Park Boulevard’s Little Pedestrian Sign that Could. Here’s a full list of the locations (kind of) where the City will install these signs.This morning’s longreadHow to make the bus betterThink of this piece like a Jarrett Walker primer and way to spend a bit of time this weekend revisiting some transit basics (or visiting them for the first time!).Every once in a while someone rediscovers that city buses are a good mode of transportation, either because they’ve gotten frustrated with a local government wasting money on mixed-traffic streetcars, or else — as in this recent Farhad Manjoo column — because they’ve gotten frustrated with endless Silicon Valley hype-cycles about new driving technology. And this is true. The bus is a very elegant solution to the basic geometrical issue with cars. Forty people who fit very comfortably on a bus would fill several lanes in solo cars. And if they’re standing, even more people can crowd onto a bus at peak hours, while the street literally cannot accommodate any extra cars.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.Picture of the DayMy springtime backyard is crushing it.

In a recent article in the New York Times, Farhad Manjoo wrote about “Apathy” in terms of becoming “fixed upon this one man…stuck in eternal orbit around an expanding black hole, irresistibly sucked in.” He wondered about all the time and energy that we have spent on this one person and what we could have done instead. But in every dark cloud…Manjoo claimed that when Trump’s rants and mounds of misinformation took aim at our trusted institutions like the FBI, State Department, and the CDC, many of us began to wake up and note how fragile these institutions are. This awareness compelled us to stand up against Trump’s “wrecking ball.” I think the election of Joe Biden proves his point. Perhaps we have been waking up from a complacency of what we hold to be true. Mr. Manjoo noted that more Americans now favor expanding immigration instead of restricting it. Also, there is widening support for “Black Lives Matter.” More women and people of color are running for office for the first time.

(NTB) German soccer team loses 37-0 after social distancing on the field (NTB) Watch: Man spotted wearing live snake as a mask on city bus Stories of the Week Story 1: NBA Players Wear Special Lace Collars To Honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg Summary: NBA players are honoring the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg this week by wearing pretty lace collars just like Notorious RBG used to wear Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died September 18, 2020, at the age of 87, from complications of metastatic pancreatic cancer She became known as a leftist icon and dubbed The Notorious RBG by a law student (like the rapper The Notorious B.I.G.) Bill Clinton nominated her to SCOTUS 1993 (Bill was elected with 43% of popular vote in 1992) She became known as a liberal wing of the court and argued for gender equality and women’s “rights” Her death is right up on the election, leftist celebrities and media types like Reza Azlan are doubling down on threatening to burn everything down to the ground if the Republicans “ram” through a judge Romney said he would not block the vote and would vote based on the merits of the nominee, and that Trump as President can constitutionally nominate and the Senate can give advice and consent. This comes amid calls of hypocrisy since in 2016 the Republican led Senate blocked a vote on Merrick Garland nominated by Barack Obama. Trump has promised to nominate a woman. Because that’s important for some reason. Lefty types on Twitter seem to think this article was real. Really. Story 2 Trump Orders Schools To Replace Anti-American Curriculum With Daily Viewings Of 'Top Gun' Summary: In what many are calling the most popular Executive Order of all time, President Trump has ordered public schools to stop teaching anti-American history classes, replacing them all with daily viewings of Top Gun. Trump issued an executive order to stop federal agencies from using Critical Race Theory in their training materials and two weeks later says he will issue an Executive Order to fight critical race theory and 1619 project style curriculum in local schools across the nation Trump Launches 'Patriotic Education’ Commission, Calls 1619 Project 'Ideological Poison’ Trump’s executive order was met with fierce backlash from commentators, who recognized it as authoritarian; New York Times opinion columnist Farhad Manjoo tweeted, “Kim Jong Un wasn’t writing him love letters, it was an instructional manual.” Culturally, this is one of the more important things Trump has done Story 3 Survey Finds 95% Of Evangelicals Don't Believe In God, Bible, Jesus Summary: A new study has found that 95% of evangelicals don’t believe in God, the Bible, or Jesus. Ligonier released their annual ‘State Of Theology” polling data and it’s not looking good: What do Americans believe about God, salvation, ethics, and the Bible? Ligonier Ministries and LifeWay Research partnered to find out. 51% of US adults and 32% of evangelicals say “Jesus was a good teacher, but was not God” 63% US Adults/46% of evangelicals believe God accepts the worship of all religions 55%U.S. Adults/56% of evangelicals believe “Jesus is the first and greatest being created by God” 59% US adults/51% evangelicals agree with “The Holy Spirit is a force, but not a personal being.” 46% evangelicals agree with “Worshiping alone or with one’s family is a valid replacement for regularly attending church. 31% evangelicals agree with, “Churches must provide entertaining worship services if they want to be effective.” 24% evangelicals agree with, “Gender identity is a matter of choice.” 18% evangelicals agree with, “The Bible’s condemnation of homosexual behavior doesn’t apply today.” Topic of the Week: Billy Hallowell’s Playing with Fire: A Modern Investigation into Demons, Exorcism, and Ghosts The world — and the church — sometimes tends to avoid or ignore the topic of demons and spiritual warfare The issue of source credibility Documented cases Things Hollywoods gets wrong Christians- how to respond to demons Hate Mail We get a text message that we don't disagree with.

The smoke, the flames, the creepy orange and red skies. It's fire season out west and it's already one for the books. Sam talks a resident of Napa County, CA, who had to flee her home because of the fires. Then he's joined by New York Times opinion writer Farhad Manjoo, who is convinced this is the end of California as we know it. Finally, comedian and SNL writer Sam Jay talks about her new Netflix special 3 O'Clock in the Morning.
In his latest column for the New York Times, opinion writer Farhad Manjoo delves into his fears of a second term for President Donald Trump. But even if Trump loses, he asks, have the president and the Republican Party damaged American democracy beyond repair? Trump has repeatedly lied throughout his presidency, but, Manjoo writes, “It’s not the lies themselves that worry me most, but the fact that millions of people might accept them. Can America endure such mendacity? When you don’t have social trust, when you don’t have a shared view of reality, do you even have a country?” We’ll talk with Manjoo about his panic about America’s post-election future.

Melanie, Zack, and Chris unpack why the United States has failed to contain the novel coronavirus. Most blame poor leadership in the United States — from the White House to public health officials and down to key figures in the media during the earliest stages of the disease. A more focused effort, sooner, as was implemented in many other developed countries, might have worked. But some see a deeper problem — American exceptionalism, especially an unwillingness to learn from the others’ approaches. If the United States does not turn things around soon, and demonstrate its capacity for solving the pandemic, will U.S. allies and partners be as willing to follow its leadership on a range of other problems? What will be the lasting effects of COVID-19 on the global order, and America’s place in it? Grievances are aired for Tucker Carlson, the House Armed Service Committee, and the Russians — and the Americans who excuse or ignore their behavior. Zack praises the Washington professional football team for its impending name change, and Chris praises the House and Senate Armed Services Committees for planning to do the same for U.S. military bases. Melanie gives a shout out to the Australians for a serious defense strategy and offers warm and heartfelt congratulations to her niece Kaylee for getting accepted to a top medical school — and to her mom (Melanie’s sister) for helping to set up her three daughters for success.

Fires, blackouts, and soaring housing costs--has California officially reached a tipping point? Or are we simply recycling the same old tired doomsday tropes every time the state faces a collective challenge? On this episode of Gimme Shelter, Matt and Liam chat with New York Times columnist Farhad Manjoo about why the state's twin climate change and housing affordability problems make him pessimistic about the future. First, an Avocado of the Fortnight poses a $10,000 question: How much would it take for you to leave the Bay? (4:30) Then a discussion of where Southern California decided to put 1.3 million new units of state-mandated housing, and why the decision was so surprising to Liam (7:30). Finally, a conversation about whether we should rebuild in high fire risk areas, followed by an interview with NYT op-ed columnist and fan of the pod Farhad Manjoo (33:00).

Five billion dollars. That’s how much Facebook will have to fork over to the government under a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. It’s the biggest fine for violating user privacy by a wide margin – 200 times bigger than the previous record, according to the FTC chair. If I got hit with a 5 billion dollar speeding ticket, it would hurt. I’m not going to lie. But some are already saying the settlement doesn’t go far enough. So. After this settlement, can Facebook say it has paid its debt to society? Or did Zuckerberg and company just make out like bandits? And: What does this say about privacy regulators’ ability to effectively walk the beat in Silicon Valley?

There's kind of a lot going on this week: There's rumored to be a new 007. The Emmy nominations are out. There's a new dating trend called 'Caspering.' Farhad Manjoo thinks we should all use the singular 'they.' 1.7 million people want to raid Area 51. Anthony Fantano (or an animated version of Anthony Fantano, really) is in the new "Old Town Road" video. During the New York City blackout, Star Wars fans helped direct traffic... with their lightsabers. And: The Cats trailer is out, and it's maybe kind of, uh, horrifying? Oh, and Episode 4 of Years and Years aired on HBO. The show "combines the grand sweep of a near-future dystopia with the warm intimacy of a family drama." Its vision of our next decade or so is "terrifyingly plausible."Support the show: http://www.wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Trump's racism presents an existential challenge to Republicanism. Has he fully transformed the G.O.P. into the Party of Trump? The columnists argue about the limits of Trumpification and how it has stripped away the Republican mask of economic libertarianism in favor of grievance-based politics. Then, fellow Op-Ed columnist Farhad Manjoo joins his colleagues to debate the case for pressing the pronoun “they” into wider use. Is "they" the solution to society’s prison of gender expectations?

Apple this week pulled a Facebook app from the App Store. It’s called Facebook Research, and its purpose was to let Facebook watch everything that users did on the phone. Apple says the snooping app is too invasive, even if users had consented to letting Facebook watch their every move. Which raises the question: How much social media is too much? Are we giving these platforms too much data? Are we posting stuff too quickly without thinking about it? Is it time to step back? With me this week, Farhad Manjoo, a New York Times columnist who recently wrote a column about the response to the controversy around Covington Catholic students, and how that inspired him to change his Twitter behavior.

Farhad Manjoo, a technology columnist for the New York Times, talks with Recode's Kara Swisher in front of a live audience at the University of California, Berkeley's journalism school. Manjoo explains why he refers to five of the world's largest tech companies as the "Frightful Five": Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and Alphabet (which owns Google and YouTube). He diagnoses long-running issues at several of those companies, but argues that solving the problems they've created or at least enabled would necessitate giving them even more power.

Uber has been been having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year. Co-founder Travis Kalanick was forced to resign as CEO after pressure from investors over recent scandals. But does the exit of Kalanick -- who had been on leave from the company and will remain on the board -- signal a new direction for Uber? This week Pete is joined by a panel of Uber experts, including Farhad Manjoo from The New York Times,JP Mangalindan from Yahoo Finance, and Kerry Flynn from Mashable's business team to answer that very question. Also up for discussion: What kind of person should lead the company next? What about the internal petition to reinstate him? Will Kalanick's downfall change Silicon Valley startup culture at all? And, if you're an Uber user, what should your takeaway be from all this? Follow MashTalk on Twitter.
You know that feeling, maybe in college - you’re suuuper chilled out, maybe chemically-assisted, and you’re like, how do we know we’re even in the same reality, man? That’s what the world has been feeling like, except, not so chill. Were reports that the President leaked classified intelligence fake news? Or was it real, but totally NBD? Was Comey pressured to drop the investigation into Flynn, or not? Was Spicer in the bushes, or among them? Is everything terrible and going to hell, or is America finally great again? Basically, how do we even know what reality IS any more? This week, we investigate reality itself, with our friend Brooke Gladstone, host of WNYC’s On the Media and author of a new book, The Trouble With Reality: A Rumination on Moral Panic in Our Time. The trouble with reality, Brooke says, is that it’s different for everyone. Facts and experience—those don’t bring us all to the same conclusion. So here we are, in an America with two sets of people with realities so far apart they’re like universes whose round edges barely touch. Manoush and Brooke were not zapping their brains during this interview, but they do get pretty far out. Huxley and Orwell, Le Guin and Philip K. Dick and Thomas Paine. Sit back, relax as you will, and come along for the ride. Oh, and that article Manoush mentioned in the interview, by Farhad Manjoo? It's here.

This week, we read and discuss Thomas Pierce's short story "Chairman Spaceman," published in the New Yorker. The story is about a man, Dom Whipple, and his last day on earth before he leaves, with no plan to return, to go live on a distant planet. Then, inspired by the way this story deals with the decision to go to space, we discuss our favorite books about space including "The Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness, "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card, and a whole lot of complicated feelings about "The Martian" by Andy Weir. Then, as always, we end the show with recommendations: Peter recommends 'The Alt-Majority: How Social Networks Empowered Mass Protests Against Trump,' a New York Times story by Farhad Manjoo. "It's just a fantastic read! A good, long, empowering read." MJ recommends listening to the hip hop group Migos and reading The Ringers profile of them, "Migos and the Never-Ending 15 Minutes of Fame." "This profile is absurd, it's phenomenal, it's smart, it's well written, there are times that I was laughing and I learned so much." Aliza recommends the movie 'Hidden Figures.' "It's beautiful and it's wonderful and it's perfect and everyone should go see it. You will learn things and you will cry and it's amazing."We hope you'll join us next week as we read and discuss John Darnielle's new book "Universal Harvester" with Darnielle himself! And if you're looking for a book to sink your teeth into, we recommend "History Is All You Left Me" by Adam Silvera, which is this our official MashReads book club book for February.And if you're looking for more book news, don't forget to follow MashReads on Facebook and Twitter.
Our News Roundup this week covers three topics. First, T-Mobile's announcement of Digits, a service which will allow customers to use their single number on multiple devices, or multiple numbers on a single device. Second, we discuss two news items relating to Apple and AI: the announcement that its researchers will now be able to publish their research, and second the slides from its talk this week at an AI conference. Third, Amazon's announcement of Amazon Go, a sort of grocery store of the future. Our Question of the Week is "How is streaming changing the music industry?" Jan talks about the size and composition of the music industry and its revenues, and the rise of streaming. We discuss the differences between ad-supported and paid streaming, and what's happening with each. And we talk about where the industry will go from here. Our third segment is a conversation about Farhad Manjoo's article this week in the New York Times about the increasingly tough landscape for hardware vendors, and whether we agree with his conclusions. We wrap up with our Weekly Pick, which this week is a holiday gift guide recommended by Aaron. As usual, you’ll find some links to related content as well as other ways to listen to the podcast on the website at podcast.beyonddevic.es.
For Hillary Clinton, that private email server was an Achilles heel. For Donald Trump, late night tweet-storms and the echo chamber of the so-called alt-right were rocket fuel. For American voters, the power of technology was inescapable. We've seen the good, bad and ugly of tech this election cycle. And we all have big feelings about it. So Manoush hosted a good old-fashioned call-in, for listeners to share their thoughts and fears about our digital lives under a Trump administration. Joining Manoush was Farhad Manjoo, New York Times technology columnist, and Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. They looked back at how social media shaped the Presidential race, and forward at privacy in the Trump era. We wish we could tell you it's uplifting. But we don't like to lie. The call-in show was part of the United States of Anxiety, a series from WNYC Studios. If you're having big feelings about what the new administration means for the arts, women, the economy or just in general, they've got you covered.

Senior Writer, Publishers Weekly Interview starts at 19:24 and ends at 33:23 I absolutely think it's madness to continue to push for regulatory input into the eBook market. Look what it did for you last time. Let's just let the lawyers go away now. We've all articulated what we think the problem is in the market. Publishers came together to put the agency model in place, and they perfectly articulated the reason why they believe the agency model should be in place. I think that there's got to be business solutions at this point.

Can wearable technology solve a problem technology created? Apple just had the best quarter yet — not just for Apple, but for any company ever. Sales of the iPhone 6 topped all expectations. A huge chunk of the world is walking around with a smartphone at the ready. And, as the company knows, a lot of those people are somewhat ambivalent about being that connected all the time. As David Pierce at Wired magazine writes: "It came down to this: Your phone is ruining your life. Like the rest of us, [Senior Vice President of Design Jonathan] Ive, [Vice President of Technology Kevin] Lynch, [Creative Director Alan] Dye, and everyone at Apple are subject to the tyranny of the buzz—the constant checking, the long list of nagging notifications." The world's biggest smartphone makers were fed up with their own smartphones. Kind of seems like they need a little Bored and Brilliant, right? 'We're so connected, kind of ever-presently, with technology now,” Lynch says. 'People are carrying their phones with them and looking at the screen so much.” They've glared down their noses at those who bury themselves in their phones at the dinner table and then absentmindedly thrust hands into their own pockets at every ding or buzz." So the story goes, they designed a device to help make that dinging and buzzing less intrusive: A watch that, counter-intuitive as it may seem, is meant to help wearers check their phones less frequently. This Watch. On our show this week, we talk with the New York Times' Farhad Manjoo — a self-described addict — about his first few weeks with the Apple Watch, and whether more technology can solve dilemmas created by the devices we already have. "In a weird way, having an 'everything's OK!' alarm on your wrist... it's comforting," Manjoo says. For the most part, he's sold. But will wearable tech solve the underlying issues of technology and distraction? Perhaps not. Listen to this week's New Tech City for more. (New Tech City) Our listeners are also skeptical. Seventy-seven percent of you told us you do not believe that the Apple Watch could make technology less intrusive in our daily lives. Words that came up frequently in your responses included "notifications," "interruptions," "convenience," "addiction," "escape," "Tweets," and "wrist."
