For once, we can all agree with AOC: Woke 1 was crazy. But rather than laugh it off and set the stage for "true woke has never been tried," perhaps we could ask the youths to learn from their mistakes. To that end, we were pleased to chat with Evan Barker, a former fundraiser who worked within the Democratic Party's establishment and progressive insurgent wing. Having left the party in disgust in 2024, she penned the just-released New York Times bestseller, Nothing Left. James, Steve, and Charlie sat down with Evan to hear her story.Plus, the trio discuss JD Vance's take on how to sway the youngins from socialism; the Trump admin's new childhood vaccination policy; and the coming Reagan biopic about the 1986 Reykjavik Summit with Gorby.Opening Sound this week: AOC laughs off “Woke I” on ABC's This Week, and Karen Friedman Agnifilo, attorney for Luigi Mangione, talks about his“unfair” treatment.Closing Music: "Je Plante Mes Légumes," by Bamtone via MotionArrayBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ricochet-podcast--5817275/support.

Nate Gorby is back — and this time he's got two weeks of daily MacBook Neo use to report on. Coming from an M2 MacBook Air he'd already sold, Nate picked up the Neo on day one and has been using it the way most people actually use computers: browsing, email, watching YouTube, light social media, and a bit of writing. No benchmarks, no synthetic tests — just honest, real-world impressions.The guys dig into the details: battery life, the lack of MagSafe and Touch ID, the physical trackpad experience, speaker quality, the color-matched interface quirks, and whether 8GB of RAM is actually fine (spoiler: it is). They also cover WWDC 2026 dates, the 26.4 updates, and Apple's decision to discontinue the Mac Pro.In this episode:Nate's daily use case: browsing, YouTube, Threads, light writing, some photo editingThe physical trackpad vs. the haptic trackpad on his wife's M4 MacBook AirLiving without Touch ID and why Apple Watch makes it a non-issue (mostly)No backlit keyboard: why the Citrus color's white keys are a natural workaroundBattery life: good enough?Why 8GB of RAM is genuinely fineMagSafe as the one real missing pieceTarget now selling the MacBook Neo — and what that means for reaching new Mac buyersThe education discount trick (you didn't hear it from them)Speaker quality: surprisingly good for spoken wordWWDC 26 announced26.4 updates now available — keyboard improvements for iPhoneMac Pro discontinued; the Mac Studio is now the top of the lineLinks from the show:Nate's previous episode (Meta Ray-Ban glasses)Apple Announces WWDC 2026 DatesMore from Nate:Last Month Online https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/last-month-online/id1824514139Nate on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@ngorbyNate on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ngorbyQuestion or Comment?

Tom flies solo this week and welcomes first-time guest Nate Gorby for a conversation about Apple's ongoing Siri delays, the state of Apple Intelligence, and what it all means for everyday users.They discuss the latest report that Apple's context-aware Siri may be pushed back again, whether privacy is helping or hurting Apple's AI progress, and why even basic Siri tasks still frustrate longtime users.In the second half, Nate shares his real-world experience using Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses for the past year — what works surprisingly well, where privacy concerns come in, and whether Apple needs to move faster in the wearable AI space.More from Nate:Nate's podcast: Last Month Online https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/last-month-online/id1824514139Nate on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@ngorbyNate on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ngorbyQuestion or Comment?

Walter Reuther's name is forever linked to Detroit, Michigan, where he and his brother Victor built the United Automobile Workers -- the UAW -- into one of the largest and most progressive labor unions in American history. In Wheeling, West Virginia, where he was born on September 1, 1907, Reuther is a hometown boy who made good. Each year for the last eight years, the Wheeling Academy of Law and Science Foundation (WALS) has organized the Reuther-Pollack Labor History Symposium on Labor Day weekend. The annual event also celebrates the life and work of local stogie maker -- and union supporter -- Augustus Pollack. LHT producers Chris Garlock and Patrick Dixon drove out to Wheeling last Friday to cover the symposium, which included presentations by “Shift Happens” author J. Albert Mann, labor journalist Hamilton Nolan, West Virginia Mine Wars Museum co-founder Lou Martin and the Pittsburgh Labor Choir. We'll be sharing audio from those presentations in upcoming shows. West Virginia historian Hal Gorby led a walking tour on Saturday to statues of both Reuther and Pollack in a park along the Ohio River in downtown Wheeling. The noontime walk was interrupted by an intense but thankfully brief mountain thunderstorm, so you'll hear the rain and thunder in the background as we took shelter and the intrepid Dr. Gorby continued his local history talk beneath his oversized umbrella. On this week's Labor History in Two: the year was 1921. On that day the “Battle of Blair Mountain” raged in Logan County, West Virginia. Questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome, and to find out how you can be a part of Labor History Today, email us at LaborHistoryToday@gmail.com Labor History Today is produced by the Labor Heritage Foundation and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor. @FoundationWals @hamiltonnolan @JAlbertMann @WarsWV @UAW_Archivist @ReutherLibrary #LaborRadioPod #History #WorkingClass #ClassStruggle @GeorgetownKILWP #LaborHistory @UMDMLA @ILLaborHistory @AFLCIO @StrikeHistory #LaborHistory @wrkclasshistory
Today's guest makes me feel artificially intelligent. Welcome back Fredrik Sareoa of Datarock. And with his band's new release and their use of AI in different aspects of the album, I thought he'd be the perfect person to have on for a discussion about artificial intelligence in music. But that's not all we talk about. Fredrik gives new bands some wardrobe advice, how he's always worried about being sued, Superman's sex life, what he REALLY wants people to know about Datarock's music. Fredrik tries to describe a crayon, DOES describe what Gorby's are and how he connects them to Lil Pump. And somehow all of that becomes a tribute to the Beastie Boys. Datarock created their own version of AI called Call Me HAL that uses Trevor Noah's voice (see the above comment about getting sued). And he's confident that while's there's a lot that AI can and will be able to do, there's also a lot that it will NEVER be able to do. Fingers crossed, there, Fredrik. Follow Fredrk on Instagram @fredriksaroea or @datarock_official. Datarock is also on Facebook, and now on TikTok, thanks to management.

You saw the pictures! The walls are finally closing in; or maybe it's the floor that'll finally move in on Trump! Or maybe everyone should cool their jets, as our guest Bill Barr might recommend. The former Attorney General joins us again to discuss what we know (and don't know) about the latest legal troubles for the former president. Without getting ahead of the facts, Barr thinks through the search itself; partisanship in the Justice Department; and the kind of fighters the Republican Party needs. And John O'Sullivan joins the gang at the top to remember his and Peter's old foe, Mikhail Gorbachev. They dispel the lefty fantasy that Gorby was the real hero of the Cold War, but also give credit where it's due. Plus Peter recounts the time he got the man to scribble on a baseball.
