We go deep inside the Chernobyl nuclear-power plant and the surrounding exclusion zone, recounting the history of the accident on April 26 1986, and speaking with plant workers who were on shift that day. A pre-eminent Chernobyl historian discusses the lessons learned and yet to be learned from the disaster. And we consider the science still being done at Chernobyl.In 2024 “The Weekend Intelligence” went to Ukraine to consider the aftermath of the Russian invasion and occupation of Chernobyl, and then of the Zaporizhia nuclear-power plant. What we found was an industry that had no expectation that could even happen, and nothing of a plan when it did.

We examine what our forecast model predicts so far—and consider what might change its confident prediction for one house of Congress and toss-up call for the other. Our correspondent sits down with Steve Reich, a pioneering classical composer who is nearing his 90th birthday. And the surprising reason why firstborns tend to have more-successful lives.Additional music courtesy of Steve Reich (Nonesuch Records), Erik Hall (Western Vinyl)Guests and host:Dan Rosenheck, data editorJon Fasman, senior culture correspondentAinslie Johnstone, data journalistJason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence”Topics covered: American elections, Congress, polling, gerrymanderingSteve Reich, contemporary classical musicbirth order, statisticsGet a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.

Email: bidemiologunde@gmail.comIn this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde examines the deaths and disappearances of American scientists and researchers tied to NASA, nuclear research, and classified defense programs since 2022. Are these tragic cases isolated incidents, or signs of something more coordinated? Could foreign intelligence services be targeting sensitive expertise, or do the answers lie closer to home within the defense-contractor world? And after President Trump's recent briefing, are real answers finally on the horizon?Support the show

Liz Tran is an executive coach, entrepreneur, and author dedicated to helping people unlock their highest potential. After building a successful career in venture capital—where her clients collectively raised over $1B and created $10B+ in enterprise value—Liz made the bold decision to leave it all behind in pursuit of more aligned work. Now the founder of Inner Genius and author of AQ: A New Kind of Intelligence for a World That's Always Changing, she teaches leaders how to thrive in uncertainty by mastering adaptability. On this episode we talk about: Liz's early lessons about money, leverage, and growing up with scarcity The transition from high-paying VC career to entrepreneurship—and the $300K mistake Why mindset, gratitude, and “energy flow” are critical to making money sustainably How Liz rebuilt her income doing work aligned with her strengths The concept of AQ (Adaptability Quotient) and why it matters more than IQ or EQ today Top 3 Takeaways Hard work alone isn't enough—alignment, leverage, and adaptability are what truly drive wealth. Your mindset around money (scarcity vs. abundance) directly impacts the opportunities you attract. In today's rapidly changing world, your ability to adapt (AQ) is more valuable than intelligence or experience alone. Notable Quotes "A dollar is not just a dollar—if you leverage it, you can make more." "I thought success meant killing myself working, but it was actually about flow." "When you believe you have nothing, you reinforce that reality—but when you believe you have everything, opportunities appear."

The Psychology of Indoctrination: Why Intelligence Won't Save You What if the reason you think you're too smart to be indoctrinated… is the very mechanism that makes you vulnerable? You look at them, the people in the hats, the rallies, the belief systems, and you judge. You tell yourself: I'd never fall for that. But here's the uncomfortable truth: Indoctrination doesn't target stupidity. It targets certainty. In this episode of The Polymathic Perspective, we dismantle the hidden psychology behind cults, ideologies, and group identity, not to judge those who fall in… but to expose why every human brain is wired to.

In his recent remarks about the Jeffrey Epstein files, Mike Johnson shifted from publicly demanding transparency to cautioning that the disclosure could “publicly reveal the identity … of undercover law-enforcement officers” and “chill” whistle-blowers. He argued that releasing the full files might weaken future investigations and endanger informants, effectively invoking national‐security style protections for evidence he suggested could have implications beyond the usual criminal records.By repeatedly emphasizing the danger of exposure — without detailing what those dangers are — Johnson appears to signal that Epstein's case may not merely be a private criminal network but intertwined with intelligence or covert operations. His insistence on protecting sources, methods, and “sensitive” information aligns more with the language used when classified intelligence assets are involved than when standard prosecution files are at issue. Combined with longstanding rumors that Epstein might have functioned as an intelligence asset, Johnson's position implicitly buttresses the theory: that some of the Epstein documents may sit in a realm where disclosure truly threatens national-security interests.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Today I am deeply honored to welcome back Iranian journalists Fatemeh Jamalpour and Nilo Tabrizy. Before, they talked about their book, For the Sun After Long Nights: the Story of Iran's Women-led Uprising, today they tell us of conditions in Iran, which since January has suffered the government's massacre of tens of thousands of protesters and the onslaught of the US/Israel war on Iran. Instead of concentrating on how the war is going and its effects on the global economy, as most media sources do, we focus entirely on the Iranian people, and talk about the effects of the bombing on daily life, the attacks on infrastructure, and the shutting down of the Internet. We look at the impact of these many forms of violence on civil society, and talk about the differentials of class, ethnicity, and gender. We end by having Fatemeh and Nilo talk about how covering Iran now is affecting their lives as journalists, and as Iranians.Fatemeh Jamalpour is a feminist journalist banned from working in Iran by the Ministry of Intelligence. Jamalpour has worked as a freelance reporter for outlets such as The Sunday Times, The Paris Review and the Los Angeles Times, and has also held positions at BBC World News in London and Shargh newspaper in Tehran. She has two master's degrees in journalism and communication from Northwestern University and Allameh Tabatabaei University in Tehran and was a 2024-25 Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan.Nilo Tabrizy is an investigative reporter at The Washington Post. She works for the Visual Forensics team, where she covers Iran using open-source methods. Previously, she was a video journalist at the New York Times, covering Iran, race and policing, abortion access, and more. She is an Emmy nominee and the 2022 winner of the Front Page Award for Online Investigative Reporting. Nilo received her MS in Journalism from Columbia University and her BA in Political Science and French from the University of British Columbia.

Step into the deep time of the forest floor, where a single fallen leaf contains the history of the world, and invisible fungal networks hum with ancient conversations. Biologist and acclaimed author David George Haskell reveals a staggering truth: we are completely dependent on the botanical world, and our belief in strict human individuality is a biological illusion.Haskell has spent much of his life training himself to see the universal within the infinitesimally small. He's famously sat for a year in a single square meter of Tennessee's forest, a mandala experience that revealed the deep history of the world through a single fallen leaf. He's a two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for his books The Forest Unseen and Sounds Wild and Broken, and he received the John Burroughs Medal for The Songs of Trees.His work often focuses on what he calls the unwaged labor of the natural world, the complex biological communities that sustain our planet without a monetary ledger. And his latest book is How Flowers Made Our World. In it, he argues that we are essentially grass apes dependent on the ancient innovations of flowering plants for two-thirds of our daily calories.

This intelligence brief highlights a fundamental shift where structural execution and workflow design have surpassed strategy as the primary drivers of competitive advantage. While organizations report stable financial performance, leadership remains cautiously defensive due to persistent geopolitical instability and macroeconomic uncertainty. The report emphasizes that the successful integration of artificial intelligence depends on embedding these tools into governed, repeatable operations rather than treating them as standalone upgrades. Consequently, modern business success is defined by organizational capacity and the ability to rewire systems to handle increasing complexity. Ultimately, the data suggests that operational discipline and the redesign of decision-making frameworks are now more critical than mere growth intent.

Quotes from the episode: "The emotional side of letting go and the identity shift is something nobody really warns you about."   "Clarity is kindness, especially when the chips are down." "Intelligence gets beaten by emotional regulation and patience every day." (Tommy Mello)   This episode is a true "collab" between Building HVAC Science and HVAC School Podcasts, with Bill Spohn Sr. and Bill "Billy" Spohn Jr. (TruTech Tools) joining Bryan Orr and his dad Robert Orr (Kalos Services) to talk candidly about family business succession. They dig into the part nobody really warns you about: the emotional identity shift of letting go, moving from decision maker to advisor, and the weird tension of still being "the face" of the brand while your successor has to establish themselves.   From there, the conversation gets practical. The group compares how succession looks in a 24-person company versus a 400-person contractor, and why the fundamentals still rhyme: role clarity, accountability, and the right people in the right seats. Bill and Billy share how EOS helped "bake in" structure that made the handoff less chaotic, including accountability charts and more frequent performance conversations. Bryan and the Orrs add their lens on stewardship, culture, and doing right by people when the chips are down.   They wrap with advice for other family businesses: start earlier than you think, make a public commitment so you cannot quietly back out, seek outside counsel to keep your head from lying to you, and do not carry unresolved issues into family life. The final note lands on something bigger than succession itself: prepare for "what's next" so retirement does not become fading away, and keep relationships, forgiveness, and emotional regulation at the center if you want the business and the family to survive the transition   Bryan's LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryanorrkalos/ Robert's LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rborr/ Billy's LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/billy-spohn-jr-a06201a3/ Bill's LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/billspohn/ Books we referenced: Traction By Gino Wickman RocketFuel by Gino Wickman & Mark Winters Succeeding.

In this episode of FOMO Sapiens, Patrick sits down with Liz Tran, founder of Inner Genius and author of AQ: A New Kind of Intelligence for a World That's Always Changing, to explore a simple but urgent idea: in a world defined by constant disruption, IQ and EQ are no longer enough. What we need now is AQ, the Agility Quotient, which Liz defines as your capacity to handle change, disappointment, and uncertainty. Drawing on a decade of work with over 200 founders and executives, Liz breaks down the four AQ archetypes — the Astronaut, the Firefighter, the Neurosurgeon, and the Novelist — and explains what each one looks like at its best and worst. The conversation gets into how AI is leveling the IQ playing field, why the most impressive résumés can actually signal lower AQ, and how the real divide in today's world isn't political or economic — it's between the people who are undone by change and the people who know how to use it.

Norman Lewis, who died in 2003 at the age of 95, was one of the twentieth century's most adventurous travellers and one of its most brilliant and compelling writers. He was also prolific, producing fifteen novels, twenty highly praised travel books and hundreds of influential newspaper articles.So why isn't he better-known today? The Slightly Foxed team put this question to Julian Evans, a distinguished writer and traveller himself, author most recently of Undefeatable: Odessa in Love and War, and of Semi Invisible Man, the definitive biography of Norman Lewis.Julian took his title directly from his subject, who described himself as a ‘semi-invisible man', a watcher from the sidelines who hated personal publicity. It was a lesson Norman learned from a hard childhood in which, as a clever boy growing up in the North London suburbs, he was severely bullied at school. His spiritualist parents, shattered by the deaths of his two older brothers, sent him to stay for some time with his Welsh grandfather and three disturbingly eccentric aunts, an interlude he described in his autobiography Jackdaw Cake.A sharp dresser with a taste for fast cars, motor bikes and guns (though he hated violence) and a man of great charm, Norman survived during the 1930s Depression by running his own successful camera business. But travelling and writing were his passions, and after wartime service as an army Intelligence officer which produced his masterpiece Naples '44, he wove the experiences of his worldwide travels into many other magical books such as A Dragon Apparent, Golden Earth and Voices of the Old Sea. He had an unerring instinct for a story and took risks to give a voice to overlooked communities. His Sunday Times article on the genocide of indigenous tribes in Brazil prompted the founding of Survival International, and The Honoured Society exposed the inner workings of the Mafia in Sicily.Courage, humour, humanity, a distinctive voice and a genius for storytelling – Lewis has them all. ‘One goes on reading page after page as if eating cherries,' wrote one New York Times reviewer. An essential author, we all agreed, for anyone who relishes good writing.The Slightly Foxed Editors' book recommendations were two novels by Joseph O'Connor, My Father's House and The Ghosts of Rome, and Justin Webb's childhood memoir The Gift of a Radio. And for an introduction to Norman Lewis, A Quiet Evening, a selection of his best articles introduced by John Hatt.

   Sisterhood, CIA, and the Terror Transition  APRIL 13, 2026This collection of transcripts details the transformative role of women at the CIA, from the agency's origins during World War II to the pursuit of Osama bin Laden. Authors and analysts explore how pioneers like Mary Bancroft provided vital intelligence during the Cold War despite being relegated to clerical roles and facing systemic sexism. The narrative follows the career of Heidi August, who rose from a secretary to a station chief, illustrating the shift in focus from Soviet espionage to global counterterrorism. A central theme is the intellectual contributions of female analysts, such as Cindy Storer and Barbara Sude, who identified the threat of al-Qaeda long before the 9/11 attacks. Despite their pioneering work in targeting and intelligence analysis, these women often struggled to have their warnings heard by male leadership. Ultimately, the sources highlight a hidden history of sacrifice and expertise, showing how a dedicated "sisterhood" fundamentally shaped modern American intelligence operations.1. THE OSS ORIGINS AND MARY BANCROFT Guest Mundy: Guest Mundy describes the CIA's WWII roots through the OSS, where elite, college-educated women like Mary Bancroft were recruited for their intelligence and language skills,. Working as Allen Dulles's "right-hand woman" in neutral Switzerland, Bancroft provided crucial analysis and handled a high-level Nazi double agent plotting against Hitler,,. Despite her sophisticated operational role, she faced blatant sexism, once being ordered by Dulles to fetch food during a meeting. Mundy explains that these pioneer women were intentionally tested for their tolerance of being under-recognized while men claimed credit for their work. (2)1952 WARSAW

In today's episode, I sit down with Gurudev to talk about absolute intelligence and how it shapes the way we think, feel, and perform. We explore the idea that human intelligence is part of a larger universal consciousness, and how intuition plays a role in accessing it. Through conversations on meditation, breathwork, and mental hygiene, we break down practical ways to build resilience, increase focus, and stay present. I also connect these ideas to performance, intention, and the role of attention in creating a more aligned and fulfilled life, both personally and professionally.

Newt talks with Congressman Rick Crawford, (AR-1st) Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, about the importance of counterintelligence reform, the Iran war, and fully funding the Department of Homeland Security. Chairman Crawford explains that the United States needs counterintelligence reform to address threats from China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba, which are actively engaging in espionage and intelligence operations within the U.S. homeland. There is a need for better coordination and cooperation between federal agencies like the FBI and military counterintelligence assets to leverage their different capabilities for threat mitigation rather than just law enforcement. Iran poses a significant threat, with the capability to deliver radioactive materials or a "dirty bomb" via their ballistic missile program, in addition to their support for terrorism and proxies. Our European allies have been unwilling to adequately fund their own defense, relying heavily on U.S. protection. Lastly, they address the challenge to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security and discuss the risks a shutdown poses by leaving critical security gaps in areas like border security, cybersecurity, and disaster response.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
