Details about the shooting at the White House correspondents gala have started to surface as the alleged shooter is set to be charged. The suspect was able to get close to where Donald Trump and many other senior officials were gathered, before law enforcement stopped him. It happened less than two years since Trump was the target of an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and a subsequent attempt at a golf course in Florida. Lucy Hough speaks to the Guardian's Washington bureau chief David Smith, who was in attendance – watch on YouTube. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

As journalists, a-listers, and some of the most vociferous critics of journalism from the Trump administration gather for the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Dahlia Lithwick tackles the president and his allies' tactics to chill the press and undermine the First Amendment. In conversation with Guardian columnist and former New York Times public editor, Margaret Sullivan she explores the Trump administration's use of meritless, high-dollar defamation suits, focusing on FBI Director Kash Patel's $250 million lawsuit lodged against The Atlantic this week. Sullivan links democratic decline to media decline, citing oligarch ownership, consolidation, weakened local news, reduced public media, and corporate leaders' capitulation via settlements and editorial interference.Margaret's newsletter, American Crisis can be found here: margaretsullivan.substack.com/Next, Dahlia and co-host Mark Joseph Stern examine New York Times' reporting on leaked Supreme Court memos showing the 2016 Clean Power Plan stay as a pivotal shadow docket moment that perfectly illustrates how activity on the shadow docket is driven by institutional grievance rather than legal urgency. They also dissect Trump's renewed attacks on the justices despite their frequent support for his agenda.Want more Amicus?

Sarah Vaughan worked as a reporter and correspondent for The Guardian for years, before finally starting a novel on her 40th birthday. She published 'The Art of Baking Blind' and 'The Farm at the Edge of the World', aimed at book-clubs, which in her words, 'didn't really trouble the bestsellers list'. Then, out of contract, she wrote, 'Anatomy of a Scandal', and everything changed. It was a smash-hit and inspired a Netflix series which was viewed hundreds of millions of times. She's since published, 'Little Disasters', which was made into a Paramount+ show, and released, 'Reputation'.Her new novel is, 'Based on a True Story'. It tells the tale of Dame Eleanor Kingman, the nation's most loved storyteller, with an entire generation growing up on her stories.... but now, someone wants to reveal the truth about who she really is.We discuss whether streaming success has changed how she thinks through a plot, and whether knowing what might land on screen has altered what ideas she takes on.Also you can hear about starting late and finally getting success, why she's switched to write scenes, and her journeys through genre and writing out of contract.Get a copy of the book - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineRead the newsletter - writersroutine.substack.comThis week's episode of the podcast is sponsored by Philippa Hall's 'Quick Book Reviews Podcast'.Support the show - patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

Happy Earth Day! While we celebrate efforts to save the earth, the Trump administration appears to be doing everything in its power to destroy it. At the same time, the Iran war has driven gas prices through the roof, making sustainable energy sources more appealing than ever. Dharna Noor, climate reporter for The Guardian, joins the show to discuss how President Donald Trump's war of choice could push the US back toward renewables. And in headlines, Tucker Carlson apologizes for his role in bringing Trump to power, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth fights for…bodily autonomy, and Trump's choice to run the Federal Reserve has his confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee.Show Notes: Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The Foreign Office chief sacked over the Peter Mandelson security vetting scandal has finally given his side of the story in an explosive appearance before MPs. Olly Robbins told the foreign affairs select committee that he faced ‘constant pressure' to get Mandelson in post as US ambassador as soon as possible, and claimed Downing Street took a ‘dismissive' attitude to vetting. It came a day after Keir Starmer accused Robbins of ‘obstructing the truth' about the vetting process in a high-stakes appearance in parliament.

Tune in to hear Caroline read from the afterword of Era by Era, capturing the final emotionally charged night of the Eras Tour in Vancouver and what comes next for Taylor Swift.What You'll Learn in This Episode: What an unauthorized biography actually means legally, and how a skilled music journalist like Caroline Sullivan conducts deep research without ever meeting the subject, using published sources, industry contacts, and her own expert voice to tell a compelling story about a Taylor Swift biography.How Taylor Swift's music activism led her to spend nearly five years fighting to buy back her first six albums from Scooter Braun, ultimately reclaiming her album rights and setting a powerful precedent for artists across the music industry.How Caroline approached the tone of Era by Era differently from other Taylor Swift books by weaving in dry British humor and personal music journalism perspective, turning dense research into a reading experience worthy of a Sunday Times bestseller.Subscribe to Reenita's Storytelling Den on Substack for free at https://substack.com/@reenitahora and to her YouTube channel to watch the video version of this episode! https://www.youtube.com/@reenymalCheck out her website to stay up-to-date on events, book releases and more! https://reenita.com/TIMESTAMPS:  00:00 Reenita opens with a bold question about unauthorized biography writing and what permissions are actually required.02:00 Caroline Sullivan discusses her six books, including pop star profiles of Madonna, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Dua Lipa, and Taylor Swift04:10 Deep dive into music journalism research methods and why published sources form the backbone of a music biography06:36 The origin story of Taylor Era by Era, how the publisher approached her after her Dua Lipa book, and how it sold 50,000 copies12:20 Discussion of Taylor Swift's music activism, her long battle to reclaim her album rights, and her influence on the broader music industry19:00 Caroline reads from the afterword of Taylor Era by Era, covering the final night of the Eras Tour in Vancouver and Taylor's appearance at the Grammy AwardsKEY TAKEAWAYS: Writing a Taylor Swift biography without the subject's cooperation is entirely legal and achievable through thorough research, industry sources, and a strong authorial voice. Caroline Sullivan proves that an unauthorized biography can outsell the competition when personality and craft drive the narrative.Taylor Swift's relentless pursuit of her album rights against Scooter Braun is one of the most significant acts of music activism in modern industry history, and one that Caroline documents with admiration throughout Taylor Era by Era, showing how Taylor uses her platform to benefit all artists.The Eras Tour was far more than a concert series. With 149 dates, a terrorist threat in Vienna, and fans paying just to listen from behind the stage, it became a cultural phenomenon that Caroline argues marks a turning point in pop star history and in Taylor's personal legacy.ABOUT THE GUEST: I'm a UK-based music journalist who writes for The Guardian and more, and have written seven books, most recently Taylor: Era by Era - an unofficial biography of Taylor Swift.Caroline Sullivan - FacebookCaroline Sullivan - Instagram X: @TheCSullivanTaylor Era by Era: The Unauthorized BiographyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, John Kim sits down with relationship expert and author Amy Chan to talk about dating patterns, childhood wounds, grief, commitment, and what it really takes to build healthy love. Amy shares how the sudden loss of a close friend changed the way she thinks about relationships and why creating core memories with the people you love matters more than convenience. John opens up about how losing his home reshaped his idea of freedom, home, and what truly matters. Together, they explore how childhood neglect, validation-seeking, and old survival strategies continue to shape adult dating patterns. They also break down Amy's framework for dating smarter, including how to spot where your dating life gets stuck, why apps should not be your only strategy, and how your energy affects connection. They talk about dopamine, fantasy, and why the first three months of dating can be misleading. Later, they unpack commitment, unrealistic expectations, relationship trade-offs, triggers, repair, and emotional safety. Amy explains her “Sh*t Bucket” concept and why healthy love is not about finding a perfect partner, but choosing someone whose imperfections you can actually live with. They close with a hopeful reminder: love is hard, but it is still worth building.

Since the late 1970's musician, author, historian, music journalist John Robb has seen just about everything. After writing nine books ranging from Goth Rock to Brit Pop (a term that he coined himself), after writing for such respected music publications as The Melody Maker, Sounds, The Guardian, The Independents (and many others), after running the website Louder Than War, after appearing in nearly every British music documentary over the last several decades, and after releasing more than two dozen records with his bands The Membranes and Goldblade—John Robb has finally written about his own amazing life story. His latest book “Punk Rock Ruined My Life: And Other Stories” (out May 19th) takes a look at the ups and downs of a wild career! John and I talk about everything from David Bowie to the Sex Pistols, to being the first British journalist to interview Nirvana, to bands we both love, to running a fanzine, to the late Steve Albini, and a whole lot more. It's always great to welcome him back to the podcast! Listen on Apple Podcast, YouTube, Spotify, and on the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee.

After years of declining dividend rates during the low-interest-rate era, every major mutual life insurance company in our latest analysis is trending upward. This is the first update to our flagship whole life dividend analysis since 2020, and the shift is hard to miss. We walk through 10 years of dividend interest rate data for Guardian, MassMutual, Northwestern Mutual, New York Life, Penn Mutual, and Lafayette Life. You'll hear why you can't directly compare one company's rate to another's, and why the intra-company trend is what actually matters. We talk through what's driving the recovery, including the higher interest rate environment that's letting insurers reinvest at meaningfully better yields. You'll also hear which carriers are recovering fastest, which are lagging, and where the warning signs would appear if a company's next announcement fell outside its normal range. A few things we cover along the way: why standard deviation tells a different story than average change, why Penn Mutual's famous flat streak ended the way it did, and why Lafayette Life's recent acceleration puts them in a category of their own. Just remember, dividend performance is one data point among several. Product design, policy structure, and how the contract is used matter just as much, and often more, for cash value outcomes. ______________________________________ If you want to talk through how any of this applies to a specific situation, you can schedule a call or if you prefer to write us first, just click right here.  

AI is already rewriting the rules of education—but are we ready for what comes next? From classrooms to workplaces, artificial intelligence is reshaping how we learn, teach, and work, often faster than institutions can adapt. Recent data from Keiser University reveals that more than 85–87% of educators believe AI and related technologies will permanently transform education. The real question isn't whether change is coming—but who benefits, who is left behind, and whose values are being coded into the future. This week, I'm joined by Dr. James Maisiri, researcher, educator, and public intellectual, whose work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, sociology, and ethics. Dr. Maisiri's research explores how emerging technologies are transforming labor, education, and social structures across Africa, with a strong focus on inclusive and responsible digital transformation. Dr. Maisiri has contributed to key academic and policy conversations through publications in the Journal of BRICS Studies, collaborative research with UNESCO, and opinion pieces in Mail & Guardian and The Star. He is widely recognized as a leading voice on AI ethics, digital inequality, and the societal implications of technological change. In this conversation, we explore: Dr. Maisiri's thoughtful and engaging perspective has resonated with audiences around the world, and in this episode, he shares critical insights on how we can shape a more ethical, inclusive, and human-centered technological future.    LinkedIn: @@JamesMaisiri Email: jamesmaisiri1@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

He has authored numerous books related to North Korea and is a regular commentator on the country's elite social and political structures. I Was a North Korean Diplomat: Inside the Secret World of Pyongyang's Foreign Service (Independently Published, 2026) is Levi's tenth book, a collaborative work based on extensive dialogues with Han Jin-myung (a pseudonym),  a former member of the North Korean elite who served in a specialized military drone unit and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, before defecting in 2015. The book provides a rare, ground-level look at the life of the North Korean upper class, tracing Han's journey from a privileged childhood in Pyongyang to the high-pressure world of international diplomacy and illicit regime fundraising in Southeast Asia. Through Han's testimony, the book explores the psychological realities of loyalty, the "golden cage" of the North Korean elite, and the climate of fear following the 2013 execution of Jang Song-thaek, offering readers a unique perspective on the inner workings of the North Korean state.

Keir Starmer says it is ‘staggering' and ‘unforgivable' that he was not told Peter Mandelson had failed security vetting before taking up the role of US ambassador. The comments follow a Guardian investigation that exclusively revealed Mandelson had initially been denied clearance after a background check by security officials, but that the decision was overruled by the Foreign Office.

From the Oscar-winning romantic comedy writer, director, and producer James L. Brooks, meet Ella McCay, a film The Guardian called, “...a mess—a clunky collection of incoherent characters and confounding plot that seem to defy basic story logic at every turn.” Perhaps the film is not as good as it gets?

Today, the Prime Minister has denied knowing that Lord Mandelson failed security vetting for the role of US ambassador until earlier this week. Sir Keir Starmer has faced calls to resign over allegations he misled Parliament and MPs when he claimed "full due process" was followed during the appointment.It came after the Guardian newspaper reported, external that Lord Mandelson was initially denied security clearance in late January 2025 but this was overruled by the Foreign Office to ensure the peer could take up the post.You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.

Two members of Congress stepped down over allegations of sexual misconduct from former staffers on Tuesday —Texas Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales and California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell. (Swalwell is also accused of sexual assault, and other women have come forward. He has denied the allegations.) Over and over, we see powerful people in politics — typically men — use their power to take advantage of others in dangerous and abusive ways. So, why does this keep happening? And what about Congress might be making it more difficult for survivors to come forward? To find out, we spoke to Moira Donegan. She's a columnist covering gender and politics at The Guardian.And in headlines, a new report says the global economic outlook is not looking great, American conservatives take a blow on the international stage, and President Trump responds to a Federal Emergency Management Agency official who claims that he teleported to a Waffle House.Show Notes: Check out Moira's work – theguardian.com/profile/moira-donegan Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The Guardian reported "Trump reportedly says he'll issue mass pardons at end of his presidential term." This signals that Trump will be running his executive branch as a criminal enterprise , a lawless organization, a corrupt cabal of crooks. And then, at the end of his presidential term, he will pardon those who commit crimes in service to him.Find Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The video game industry is in a state of chaos. Layoffs, buyouts, studio closures, mergers—the entire industry seems plagued. Except for Nintendo. The Japanese video game giant is over one hundred years old, and since they dominated the home console market in the 80s, they've been generally unwavering in their success, and all without succumbing to the pitfalls of other game companies. But they're also tremendously secretive, operating with very little behind-the-scenes publicity and deploying their massively innovative games with relatively little lead-up. This week, Adam talks games with Keza MacDonald, a video game editor at The Guardian. Her new book, Super Nintendo: The Game-Changing Company That Unlocked the Power of Play, takes a look behind Nintendo's curtain of secrecy to show how this company has been able to innovate and surprise for so long.

Bestselling, Booker Prize-winning author, Anne Enright, spoke to me about eagles and moles, the interior engineering of a novel, her love of Irish poetry, and her latest THE WREN, THE WREN. Anne Enright won the Man Booker Prize and the Irish Fiction Award for her novel The Gathering. She has also been awarded the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Irish Book Awards, and was the first Laureate for Irish Fiction (2015-2018). Her latest novel The Wren, the Wren, was named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by TIME, The Millions, Literary Hub, and others, and is described as the story of “... three generations of … women who must contend with inheritances―of poetic wonder and of abandonment by a man who is lauded in public and carelessly selfish at home.” The New York Times called it, "... a powerful, thoughtful book by one of the great living writers on the subject of family," and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jennifer Egan said of the book, “The Wren, the Wren is an electrifying romp through language itself―its dizzying possibilities and satisfactions―led by one the most gifted writers working in English today." Anne Enright has also published two books of short stories, her essays on literary themes have appeared in the London Review of Books and The New York Review of Books, and she writes for the books pages of The Irish Times and The Guardian.

The blockade is designed to put pressure on Iran, whose economy is dependent on oil and gas exports. It comes after peace talks between Washington and Tehran at the weekend ended without a deal.

We answer questions like human behaviour, creating change, defining success on your own terms and so much more.  If you're suffering from decision-making fatigue, information filtering, or feeling a little isolated, frustrated or confused this is your episode. We're turning midlife muscle strength into personal power! My Guest: Cori Lefkowith is the founder of Redefining Strength and the author of The STRONG System, a practical framework designed to help women build sustainable strength, nutrition, and lifestyle habits that support real life. With over a decade of coaching experience, Cori helps women, especially in midlife, break free from burnout, diet culture, and all-or-nothing health thinking by shifting the focus from intensity and willpower to consistency and systems. Her programs and educational content have been featured in outlets including Women's Health, SELF, Nike, Prevention, MSN, Well+Good, MindBodyGreen, LIVESTRONG, and The Guardian. Questions We Answer in This Episode: Why are women still afraid of getting bulky from lifting weights? Can strength training be about more than just weight loss? Why are we stuck in a survival mindset instead of thriving? How do women handle pressure to be everything to everyone? How do you know what fitness advice is actually right for you? Why is asking ‘why' so important in changing habits? Why is muscle so critical for independence and longevity in midlife? If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule has come to an end after the opposition Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, won the Hungarian election by a landslide. Orbán quickly conceded after what he described as a ‘painful but unambiguous' election result. All eyes are now on Magyar to see how Hungary's relationship with the EU and Nato could change after years of strained relations.

On this, our 322nd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the Cartesian crisis, whether going to the moon is valuable, and college in the age of AI. Before the ads, we discuss the nature of knowledge, and whether paying attention all the time, to all the things, can backfire and make a personal less capable of comprehension. Later: why go to the moon? An op-ed writer at The Guardian says there's no point—there's nothing to see, no one to talk to. We discuss the value of science—not just in terms of what we become capable of doing, but also for the human values of awe and wonder, openness and curiosity. As humans, we must encourage discovery, innovation, and exploration; we cannot cave to the fearful, provincial, and bland. Finally: professors and students are in an arms race over AI. A better move would be to seek two wildly different educational modes: one in which no outside sources of knowledge are available at all (e.g. a remote site with no cell service), and classroom-based work that encourages engagement and learning from and with the AI.*****Our sponsors:Branch Basics: Get 15% off Branch Basics with the code DARKHORSE at https://branchbasics.com/darkhorse #branchbasicspodPuori: Amazingly clean and safe supplements and protein powders, lab tested and guaranteed.

In the summer of 2006, a teenage girl began posting video diaries to a then-new site called YouTube under the handle lonelygirl15. Within weeks she was a phenomenon—even though no one knew the truth of who she really was. The frenzied quest to change that, to solve the mystery of lonelygirl15, would ultimately land her on the front page of newspapers and the covers of magazines. Twenty years on, lonelygirl15 is both an artifact of an earlier online era and an origin point for the internet as we know it: a place full of video diaries, parasocial relationships, influencers, hyper-engaged fandoms, and the knowledge that you can't always believe your eyes.In this episode, you'll hear from some of the people who investigated lonelygirl15 way back in 2006: culture critic Virginia Heffernan, who writes the Substack Magic + Loss and co-hosts the podcast Omnishambles; entertainment journalist Richard Rushfield of The Ankler; Emmy Award-winning producer Jenni Powell; and one-time cybersleuth Chris Patterson. We also speak with the people involved in making lonelygirl15: Miles Beckett, Mesh Flinders, Jessica Rose Phillipps, and Amanda Goodfried. This episode was written by Willa Paskin and Evan Chung, Decoder Ring's Supervising Producer. Decoder Ring is also produced by Willa Paskin, Katie Shepherd, and Max Freedman. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director.Thank you to Greg Goodfried, Matt Foremski, and Tom Foremski. Special thanks to Ryan Broderick and Grant Irving of the podcast Panic World, who introduced Willa to the lonelygirl15 story on a recent episode of their show and suggested it might make a good topic for Decoder Ring.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 EpisodeCresci, Elena. “Lonelygirl15: how one mysterious vlogger changed the internet,” The Guardian, June 16, 2006.Davis, Joshua. “The Secret World of Lonelygirl,” WIRED, Dec. 2006.Falconer, Ellen. “An oral history of lonelygirl15,” RNZ, June 16, 2016.Flemming, Brian. “Arguments for a real LG15 fall short,” Brian Flemming's Weblog, Aug. 25, 2006.Foremski, Matt and Tom Foremski. “SVW Exclusive: The identity of LonelyGirl15,” Silicon Valley Watcher, Sep. 11, 2006.Foremski, Tom. “How the secret identity of LonelyGirl15 was found,” Silicon Valley Watcher, Sep. 12, 2006.Foremski, Tom. “The Hunt for LonelyGirl15: Life in a blogger household…,” Silicon Valley Watcher, Sep. 12, 2006.Glaister, Dan. “Cult blog a fake, admit 'lonelygirl' creators,” The Guardian, Sep. 9, 2006.Heffernan, Virginia and Tom Zeller Jr. “The Lonelygirl That Really Wasn't,” New York Times, Sep. 13, 2006.Heffernan, Virginia. “A Pause for Some Words From Bree,” New York Times, Aug. 23, 2006.Heffernan, Virginia. “Sweet, Weird, Fraud or Other,” New York Times, Aug. 24, 2006.“LGPedia,” LG15, 2016.“lonelygirl15 and when lies could be fun,” Panic World, Feb. 4, 2026.“Lonely Girl And All Her Friends,” On the Media, Sep. 1, 2006.Nudd, Tim. “Lonelygirl15 still a mystery, for now,” ADWEEK, Sep. 1, 2006.Rushfield, Richard and Claire Hoffman. “Lonelygirl15 Video Blog Is Brainchild of 3 Filmmakers,” Los Angeles Times, Sep. 13, 2006.Rushfield, Richard and Claire Hoffman. “Mystery Fuels Huge Popularity of Web's Lonelygirl15,” Los Angeles Times, Sep. 8, 2006.Wendt, Milo A. “LonelyGirl15: It's Not So Lonely In The Bay Area,” milowent, Aug. 30, 2006.
