Can Andrew and Presley trust each other? Who is on their side, and who is out to cancel the shows after their first seasons? Join us to unravel the mysteries of our latest episode Suspicion.All Our Links: https://www.linktr.ee/seasononepodSeason Spoiler Synopsis: Suspicion was an Apple TV+ original show which aired in 2022. The show focuses on five seemingly ordinary British citizens who are believed to have abducted the son of a media mogul in the US. This mogul, Katherine Newman (Uma Therman) is black-mailed by her son's adductors into “Telling the Truth.” The investigators, Vanessa Okay (Angle Coulby) from the British RSA and Scott Anderson (Noah Emmerich) decided to let the 5 suspected kidnappers go to see what mistakes they make along the way that could lead them back to the kidnapping victim. Through a twisted series of events, the 5 suspects get together and must find a way to prove their innocence as they are being framed for the crime. These suspects, Aadesh (Kunal Nayyar), Natalie (Georgina Campbell), Tara (Elizabeth Henstridge), Sean (Ellis Gabel), and Eddie (Tom Harries), work outside of the law to sneak their way through customs and into the US where they believe that talking to Katherine Newman's second in command will finally reveal who has been setting them up this whole time. While escaping from the authorities, the group finds themselves in a high rise overlooking Times Square, where it is revealed that Tara was actually part of orchestrating the kidnapping and that Leo (the kidnapping victim) was part of the plan all along and was trying to get her mother to admit her roll in discrediting a climate scientist who had predicted the direct effects of climate change more than 40 years prior that would've destroyed her empire. Tara and Aadesh manage to escape through riots happening in Times Square, Leo is returned to Katherine, who eventually tells the truth to the world, Katherine rewards Sean as he flees with 1 million dollars, Natalie is detained by the NYPD, and Eddie is shot in the head but lives.

Claims of “no collusion” on Russia is one thing — but is cheating in golf a whole other game? A new book entitled “Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump” by Rick Reilly chronicles all the ways President Donald Trump plays loose on the links, even allegedly cheating against Tiger Woods.

We often hear that good jobs require college. For many, however, the road to a college degree presents more challenges than opportunities. The costs of a four-year degree have soared, often leaving students with crippling debt, whether or not they are able to complete their degrees. At the same time, not as many jobs require a four-year degree as we once thought, meaning many students face the same low-wage job opportunities they faced before. We need another approach. This event highlights a book by Dr. Katherine Newman and Hella Winston, Reskilling America: Learning to Labor in the Twenty-First Century. In it they argue that by committing to a targeted investment in vocational training institutions, we can provide opportunities for individuals to develop skills, access middle skill jobs, avoid crippling debt, and meet technical skill needs in critical industries. Opening comments about the book are followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Newman and experts in policy, education and training, and business. This event features Katherine S. Newman, Michael G. Johnson (CEO of Johnson Talent Development), Andy Van Kleunen (Chief Executive Officer, National Skills Coalition), and Sandi Vito (Director, 1199SEIU/League Training and Upgrading Fund). This event is part of the Working in America series, an ongoing discussion series hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program that highlights an array of critical issues affecting low- and moderate-income workers in the United States and ideas for improving and expanding economic opportunities for working people. For more information, visit as.pn/workinginamerica. The Economic Opportunities Program advances strategies, policies, and ideas to help low- and moderate-income people thrive in a changing economy. We recognize that race, gender, and place intersect with and intensify the challenge of economic inequality and we address these dynamics by advancing an inclusive vision of economic justice. For over 25 years, EOP has focused on expanding individuals' opportunities to connect to quality work, start businesses, and build economic stability that provides the freedom to pursue opportunity.

Bill Moyers interviews John Grisham, best-selling author of The Firm, The Pelican Brief, and The Rainmaker, in a far-ranging conversation that gives viewers insight into the beliefs and background that influenced Grisham's work and provides an unexpected look at his views about the state of the nation. "I get angry when you look at our democratic system, and I wonder how democratic it really is," says Grisham, a former criminal defense attorney and former member of the Mississippi state legislature.
