More than eleven million children in the US live in doubled-up households, sharing space with extended family or friends. These households are even more common among low-income families, families of color, and single-parent families, functioning as a private safety net for many in a country with extremely limited public support for families. Despite their prevalence, we know little about how shared households form and how they shape family life. Doubled Up is an in-depth look at the experiences of families with children living in doubled-up households. Drawing on extensive interviews with sixty parents living in doubled-up households, Dr. Hope Harvey examines what circumstances and motivations lead families to form doubled-up households, how living in shared households affects daily routines, and how families fare after these arrangements dissolve.Dr. Harvey shows that although families rely on doubling up to get by in the face of rapidly rising housing costs, precarious labor markets, and unaffordable childcare, these private arrangements are rarely sufficient to overcome such structural barriers. And doubling up incurs its own costs for both host and guest families. For doubled-up families, negotiating household relationships and navigating shared space reshapes family life. Understanding the dynamics of doubled-up households extends scholarship on family life beyond the nuclear family and points the way toward better policies that will serve all families. Guest: Dr. Hope Harvey is an assistant professor at the Martin School of Public Policy and Administration at the University of Kentucky and a research affiliate at the Center for Poverty Research. She is the author of the award-winning book Doubled Up. Host: Dr. Christina Gessler is an academic writing coach and editor. She is the producer and host of the Academic Life podcast.

What was it like to live in a city experiencing occupation by a foreign army? What did it mean when a family had to quarter an officer in their home? More specifically, how did military occupation affect the women and men who lived in those cities, and alter the gender system? Lauren Duval's The Home Front: Revolutionary Households, Military Occupation, and the Making of American Independence (Omohundro Institute and the University of North Carolina Press, 2025) tackles the these questions by looking at the experiences of a wide range of Americans, Black and white, in the cities occupied by the British during the American Revolution. Why the household? Because this was the primary social and economic unit of the day, a site where people during the war encountered unprecedented threats to their sense of social order. By looking at households, we gain not only an intimate view of the experience of war, but also a sweeping interpretation of the effects of war on American understandings of gender and power. Some Americans saw military occupation as a threat, full stop. It challenged men's senses of power and authority over their families, and the ever-present threat of rape hovered over women and girls. But because occupation could loosen some of the patriarchal control in the household, it could also offer tempting new opportunities. Free and enslaved Black people could take advantage of the disruptions to make calculated moves to gain freedom—or more freedom than they currently enjoyed. Black and white women could hope for a different kind of freedom when they forged relationships with military men. In all, The Home Front reveals entire worlds of young women, British officers, anxious patriarchs, enslaved Black women, German soldiers, and wives struggling to survive while their husbands or sons languished in prison or served in the military. And when the book turns to the postwar era, it reveals a stunning assessment of how those experiences of military occupation altered Americans' views of household social order. As a result, Duval's book does something unusual: it threads the needle between military history and the history of gender, women, and sexuality. Join us for this conversation between Lauren Duval and Carolyn Eastman (The Strange Genius of Mr. O and President of the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic) and get a glimpse into the experience of living during wartime.

The Silent Struggles of Vulnerable Families: Supporting Households in Crisis: Nonyaniso Maphosa by Radio Islam

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two[a] others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house!' 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.' 10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11 'Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.' 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

Uisce Éireann is urging people to conserve water after demand in Dublin hit record levels during last month's hot weather, with the provider warning current usage rates are unsustainable. Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast was Uisce Éireann's Head of Water Operations, Margaret Attridge.

Financial markets have reacted positively to news that the United States and Iran have agreed a framework deal to end their conflict, with oil prices falling sharply and stock markets rising around the world.   The proposed agreement, due to be formally signed later this week, could see the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy supplies, potentially easing pressure on fuel and energy costs.   But what could this mean for Irish households, businesses and the wider economy?   To discuss the potential impact, Alan Morrissey was joined by Tommy Corbett of Carey Corbett Financial Solutions.

A Clare TD is expressing concern that regular households are being priced out of embracing renewable energy. Bodyke Fine Gael Deputy Joe Cooney has asked the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment if it's looked at the impact of high electricity prices on the uptake of the likes of heat humps, electric vehicles and home batteries. Ireland is aiming to reduce its carbon emissions by 51% by 2030 largely through the electrification of heat and transport. Speaking in the Dáil, Deputy Cooney says for many people, the cost of going green is simply too high.

Dr Claire Keane, Associate Research Professor at the Economic and Social Research Institute, discusses its latest report which has found that recent energy price increases are placing a disproportionate burden on low-income households.

Recent energy price increases are placing a disproportionate burden on low-income households, with government supports only partly offsetting the impact. That's according to new research from the Economic and Social Research Institute. Joining Anton to discuss these findings was Dr Claire Keane, Associate Research Professor at the ESRI.

Pearse Doherty, Sinn Fein Finance Spokesperson, reacts to CRU findings that over 500,000 Irish households are now in arrears.

Rising gas prices pushed inflation to its highest level in three years last month. The AP's Marcela Sanchez reports.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on reaction to the latest inflation report.

Welcome back all! This month we are joined by Fr Conor McDonough OP, an exceptional Research Ireland funded PhD researcher in Classics, University of Galway. Conor elucidates the variety of religious life in the Middle Ages focussing on the new religious orders introduced as part of wider church reforms in the 11th and 12th centuries. This episode touches on a number of big themes such as the conflict between 'church and state', colonisation, language, ethnicity, patronage, and decline. What is the difference between a monk and a priest? Why were there two Cathedrals in Dublin? Why did the Cistercians in Ireland build a 'fortress against God'? Did the Irish prefer living in 'nests' rather than stone buildings? Conor answers all of these questions and much more. We learn all about the new international networks of the Cluniacs, Cistercians, Augustinians, Premonstratensians, the Rule of Benedict, drama at Mellifont, bishops as barons, the Anglo-Norman Conquest and the appeal of religious life.

Prior to the American Revolution, the urban centers of colonial North America had little direct experience of war. With the outbreak of violence, British forces occupied every major city, invading the most private of spaces: the home. By closely considering the dynamics of the household—how people moved within it, thought about it, and wielded power over it—The Home Front reveals the ways in which occupation fundamentally upended the structures of colonial society and created opportunities for unprecedented economic and social mobility. In occupied cities, British officers usurped male authority to quarter themselves with families, patriot wives governed households in their husbands' absence, daughters flirted with officers, domestic servants disappeared with soldiers, and enslaved kin absconded to British lines in pursuit of freedom. As Lauren Duval shows, the unique conditions of occupation produced an aggrieved American population bound by shared emotional distress and domestic disorder. In the wake of this deeply disorienting experience, elite Americans deliberately reconsecrated the private home as a national symbol that epitomized masculine authority. Building on a stunning wealth of primary sources, Duval vividly captures daily life during the Revolution through the eyes and ears of those who intimately experienced it, showing how men and women of all races, statuses, and states of freedom understood its implications for their lives, families, and the nascent American Republic. In this episode Dr. Lauren Duval (University of Oklahoma) and Leah Cargin (University of Oklahoma and Journal of Women's History) discuss The Home Front: Revolutionary Households, Military Occupation, and the Making of American Independence (Omohundro Institute and UNC Press, 2025). We begin the episode by discussing what the home meant to men and women in the revolutionary era. Next, we discuss revisionist histories and how violence has often been obscured from the revolutionary narrative. I commend Duval for her extensive archival research and she shares about the satisfying feeling of finding sources that speak to one another from across the Atlantic.

Get your tickets for the Plant Cunning Conference here: Plant Cunning Conference – In-Person in New York – July 24-26, 2026Today on the show, Isaac & AC welcome David Holmgren, co-originator of the Permaculture concept.In this episode, David describes life at Melliodora in Central Victoria with three semi-autonomous households sharing work and produce, and recounts how he came to the “plant path” through plant ID, foraging, and early research for Permaculture One. He tells the story of meeting Bill Mollison in 1974 and how the idea of agriculture functioning like a forest became a seed of permaculture, while reflecting on Mollison's charisma and difficulty. The conversation explores holistic thinking versus reductionism, DIY self-reliance, cycles of skill loss and renewal, COVID's impact on interest in permaculture and RetroSuburbia, “enlightened self-interest,” energy descent and relocalization, household-scale resilience including health capacity, and where to find Holmgren's essays and websites.02:11 Meet David Holmgren03:47 Finding the Plant Path06:04 Chance Meeting with Bill Mollison08:15 Permaculture Seed Idea12:12 Working with a Charismatic Genius15:31 Patterns vs Practice21:13 DIY Skills and Tasmania Culture24:27 Cycles of Self Reliance28:17 COVID and RetroSuburbia Spike30:07 Enlightened Self Interest Explained37:29 Humans as Keystone Species38:26 Hierarchy and Elite Corruption40:35 Predators and Power41:25 Fossil Fuel Hierarchy42:42 Globalists vs Sovereigntists44:11 Household Resilience Basics45:35 Health as Weak Link47:44 Bigger Households Work52:17 Household Beats Consensus55:23 Food Growing Mindset59:09 Jack of all trades, Master of One01:03:06 Why Intentional Communities Fail01:06:49 Brown Tech Uncertainty01:08:32 Tower of Babel Reality01:12:35 Long Descent Balance01:16:29 Essays and Resources01:19:30 Final Thanks and Wrap

In this episode, we are joined by Shelly Antoniewicz, Chief Economist at the Investment Company Institute (ICI), for a data-rich exploration of the modern fund industry. Shelly walks us through the staggering scale of global regulated funds, how ETFs and mutual funds shape capital allocation, and why the rise of indexing may not be as disruptive as critics fear. We discuss the growth of ETFs versus mutual funds, increasing concentration among large fund sponsors, and how financial advisors are reshaping portfolios around low-cost investment products. Shelly also explains why fund fees keep falling, how 401(k) plans have democratized investing for middle-class households, and why investor choice remains central to healthy capital markets. Along the way, we unpack active ETFs, intraday liquidity, interval funds, private credit exposure, and the evolving role of retail investors in financial markets.   Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:00) Introducing Shelly Antoniewicz and the role of the Investment Company Institute.  (0:01:14) The Investment Company Fact Book and why it has become a foundational resource for fund industry data.  (0:03:31) Regulated funds globally now account for roughly $88 trillion in assets.  (0:04:47) The U.S. market contains nearly 17,000 investment companies across mutual funds, ETFs, and related structures.  (0:05:40) U.S. equity funds alone hold roughly $27 trillion in assets.  (0:06:52) More than half of mutual fund and ETF assets are now in index strategies.  (0:07:40) Why index funds still represent only a minority share of the overall U.S. stock market.  (0:09:48) What academic research says about indexing's impact on price discovery and market efficiency.  (0:13:10) There are nearly 770 fund sponsors in the U.S., though industry concentration continues to rise.  (0:13:42) ETF sponsors experienced enormous inflows in 2025, with 90% receiving net new cash.  (0:15:23) Why the largest fund complexes now control a much larger share of industry assets.  (0:16:06) Compliance costs and regulation as drivers of industry consolidation.  (0:17:31) Falling expense ratios as evidence that the industry remains highly competitive.  (0:19:28) How investor flows often reflect rebalancing behavior rather than performance chasing.  (0:22:32) Why ETF investors highly value intraday liquidity, even if most do not actively trade.  (0:23:27) Research on ETF trading behavior among younger investors and retail participants.  (0:27:11) The massive shift from actively managed U.S. equity mutual funds toward indexed products.  (0:27:51) How financial advisors increasingly use model portfolios built around ETFs.  (0:31:20) Why active ETFs exploded in popularity after the ETF rule streamlined launches.  (0:32:31) The growing distinction between ETF wrappers and investment strategies themselves.  (0:33:05) Leveraged and niche ETF products, investor choice, and financial education.  (0:35:48) More than half of U.S. households now own regulated investment funds.  (0:36:41) How 401(k) plans dramatically increased middle-class participation in capital markets.  (0:39:16) Households remain the dominant owners of mutual fund assets.  (0:40:28) The demographic profile of the typical mutual fund-owning household.  (0:41:16) ETF-owning households tend to skew younger, wealthier, and more risk tolerant.  (0:42:03) Mutual fund assets continue to grow despite persistent outflows toward ETFs.  (0:43:39) How investor risk tolerance changes with age and market conditions.  (0:46:22) Economies of scale and the continued decline in fund fees.  (0:47:51) Interval funds, BDCs, and the rise of regulated private credit products.  (0:49:36) Redemption caps and liquidity management inside interval funds.  (0:52:51) Shelly reflects on the enduring popularity of the Investment Company Fact Book.  (0:55:05) Shelly's definition of success: raising children who tell you they love you.   Links From Today's Episode: Meet with PWL Capital: https://calendly.com/d/3vm-t2j-h3p Rational Reminder on iTunes — https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rational-reminder-podcast/id1426530582.
