Dr. Ruth shared her diary for the first time with the Leo Baeck Institute – and with all of you – for this episode of Exile. We are grateful for her generosity with her time and her story – and for the decades of sound advice.  Learn more at www.lbi.org/westheimer.

As we prepare our fifth season of Exile, we're looking back at our favorite episodes from seasons 1-4. Each re-release brings back a unique, fascinating, and often heart-wrenching story from the Leo Baeck Institute Archives. In Nazi-occupied Austria, a young man named Kurt Kleinmann comes up with a plan to escape: write to Americans - strangers - who share his last name and ask for help to get a visa. Just as he begins to lose hope, he gets a response from New Yorker Helen Kleinman. Little does he know, Helen will save his life…and capture his heart.  The Kurt and Helen Kleinmann Collection in the Leo Baeck Institute Archives includes Helen and Kurt's entire correspondence - hundreds of letters - from 1938 and 1939, plus telegrams and other material documenting Kurt's emigration.

As we prepare our fifth season of Exile, we're looking back at our favorite episodes from seasons 1-4. Each re-release brings back a unique, fascinating, and often heart-wrenching story from the Leo Baeck Institute Archives. At the height of his fame, a shirtless, barefooted Albert Einstein escapes the bustle of Berlin for a simpler life. The best thinkers of the time gather at his beloved summer house in Caputh to laze by the water, swap ideas, and gossip. There, he can escape the pressures of global fame, but his summer haven can't keep him safe from the growing Nazi movement bubbling in Germany.  The Albert Einstein Collections in the Archives of the Leo Baeck Institute in New York include hundreds of Einstein's personal photographs, many from Caputh, as well as the Guestbook from his summer home. After a few pages bearing the signatures of the friends and international luminaries who visited the Einsteins those short summers before 1933, most of the pages remain blank. You can see the Collections at www.lbi.org/caputh.  Exile is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute, New York | Berlin and Antica Productions.  It's narrated by Mandy Patinkin.  Executive Producers include Katrina Onstad, Stuart Coxe, and Bernie Blum.

Companies in Canada are being bought up by private equity at an incredible rate. The list includes Rexall, MEC, Value Village, WestJet and Sleep Country.But it also includes local businesses: vets, dentists, retirement homes and more. Critics say it's an unchecked shift in the economy that results in negative, often dangerous outcomes – where the profit motive can mean higher prices and lower quality of care.We're speaking to someone who has brokered such deals: Rachel Wasserman is a lawyer and former investment banker who left that world behind to become a researcher for the Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project. Her forthcoming paper is called The Private Equity Playbook: Understanding the Secretive Industry Hollowing Out the Canadian Economy. She joins us to talk about the cutthroat world of leveraged buyouts, the risks of corner-cutting, and what a private-equity future means for Canada's economy.Plus: producer Jay's cat, Leo, is doing his own investigating to find out why his vet stopped giving out so many treats.This is Lately.

When Erika Ayers Badan beat out 74 men to become the first CEO of Barstool Sports, the company was small, dominated by brash bros, and indivisible from the controversial reputation of its founder, Dave Portnoy. But she corralled Barstool and turned it into a media empire with a $500-million exit.So where do you go after helming a culture-quaking company? Ayers Badan became CEO of the cooking and lifestyle brand Food52 – new industry, new struggles. She was hired after layoffs, terrible Glassdoor reviews, and a predecessor who had lasted less than a year.In a live conversation at Elevate, Canada's tech and innovation festival, Ayers Badan speaks with Lately about how to manage the unmanageable, what she learned as a woman leading a fratty company that was sold twice in one year, and about her new book, Nobody Cares About Your Career: Why Failure Is Good, The Great Ones Play Hurt, and Other Hard Truths.Also, Vass shares her secret for successful public speaking with Katrina: sour keys.

That creeping feeling that everything online is getting worse has a name: “enshittification,” a term for the slow degradation of our experience on digital platforms. The enshittification cycle is why you now have to wade through slop to find anything useful on Google, and why your charger is different from your BFF's. According to Cory Doctorow, the man who coined the memorable moniker, this digital decay isn't inevitable. It's a symptom of corporate under-regulation and monopoly – practices being challenged in courts around the world, like the US Department of Justice's antitrust suit against Google.Cory Doctorow is a British-Canadian journalist, blogger and author of Chokepoint Capitalism, as well as speculative fiction works like The Lost Cause and the new novella Spill. This is Lately.

Over the next two years, baby boomers will pass a reported 1 trillion dollars down to their heirs, who, in most cases, are their millennial children. This intergenerational transfer of wealth is expected to be the largest in Canadian history. The nature of homeownership in Canada has changed many times over in the last half century, and these changes have contributed to widening gulfs in wealth and prosperity. Baby boomers came into their adult years through an economic golden age, in which many were able to invest in homeownership well before prices became prohibitive. And as many now enter older age, they are sitting on homes worth many times more than what they paid for them. Katrina Onstad is a freelance reporter and producer for the Globe and Mail's tech business podcast, Lately. And she's just written a cover story for Maclean's about inheritance, and an incoming millennial windfall that she calls the ‘Jackpot generation.'

Tupperware just filed for bankruptcy, but the direct sales model it pioneered lives on.These days, the hustle might be candles, leggings or sex toys. You may be recruited to join via a Facebook friend, who calls it “social selling.” But really, it's multi–level marketing – a $300–billion industry where the vast majority of salespeople make little to no money.Our guest is Peabody and Emmy Award–winning investigative journalist Jane Marie, host of the podcast The Dream and author of Selling the Dream: The Billion-Dollar Industry Bankrupting Americans, an exposé of the dark side of MLMs.Marie talks to us about how the business model attracts good people in a bad economy.

Workplace productivity apps like Slack, Notion, and Trello are encroaching on our personal lives. According to a trending article in San Francisco Standard, new apps specifically for couples and families, like Lovewick and Coexist, are gaining traction in Silicon Valley.

Was all this inflation really necessary? Our guest, economist Isabella Weber says no. In fact, she's been saying no since the Omicron variant was a thing. In 2021, at age 33, Weber wrote an article for The Guardian that tied inflation to corporate greed – calling out “an explosion of profits” as a central force in driving up prices. She was vilified online, and the establishment turned her into “the most hated woman in economics.”But history has proved Isabella Weber right, and the world's caught up to her thinking. Weber travelled to Toronto recently to receive the Broadbent Institute's 2024 Ellen Meiksins Wood Prize. She joined us at The Globe to talk about the tumultuous ride of the past four years, the historical impact of price controls, and the bittersweet taste of vindication. Also, Vass and Katrina lament the rising cost of deodorant.This is an encore presentation of an episode from our first season.

If the economy's so good, why do we feel so bad? 84% of Canadians believe we're in a recession right now and yet Canada's GDP actually outperformed expectations last year, unemployment is low and wages are increasing. There's a disconnect between inflation rates and how we feel about inflation rates. Welcome to the vibecession.Our guest, Kyla Scanlon, is the author of In This Economy? How Money & Markets Really Work. Kyla coined the term “vibecession” to capture the mismatch between objective economic indicators and people's subjective feelings about the economy. We talk with her about the risks of believing the bad vibes, what TikTok has to do with our pessimistic mood, and why we're still spending when we feel so broke. Kyla also writes a newsletter, is one of the co-hosts of Wealthsimple's podcast TLDR and has her own podcast called Let's Appreciate. Also, Vass and Katrina discuss mental breakdown TV. This is Lately.

We're taking a little summer break and playing an encore of one of our most popular episodes. It's about the crash of the online dating industry and what it means for your love life.Even though users are fleeing dating apps – they're costly, they're creepy and they're exhausting – our tech-reliant mating rituals have forever changed us.

These days the culture we consume – movies, books, songs – is determined by platforms aggregating everyone else's reviews and ratings.

And is there a way to beat the algorithm?Our guest, writer and critic Lauren Oyler, is the author of No Judgment, a recently published collection of essays. She's a contributing editor at Harper's, and her divisive, often viral essays on books and culture appear regularly in The New Yorker, The New York Times and the London Review of Books.

The Paris Olympics are nearly upon us, and one thing is clearer than the Seine: For some countries, sports are the ultimate distraction. Dubious human rights records? Look at our athletes!It's called sportswashing, an attempt by nations and companies to take the focus off their less-than-stellar practices.

Everyone loves an AI fail, like a few extra fingers on a generated image. But what happens when the flaws of this nascent technology are much more serious? For the LGBTQ+ community, the stakes are high: Machine-learning models and AI-based tech like facial recognition can promote outdated stereotypes and public discrimination. Our guest, Dr. Sabine Weber, is a computer scientist and an organizer with Queer in AI, a global group of LGBTQ+ researchers and scientists whose mission is to raise awareness of queer issues in artificial intelligence. Weber explains how we got here, how AI is only as good as the data it gobbles up, and the real-world consequences of misrepresentation.Also, Vass and Katrina discuss how AI tech bros are making the switch from DEI to MEI – and what that might mean for equity in Silicon Valley. Check out The Zizi Show, a deepfake drag cabaret act created by drag queens when the COVID lockdowns prevented them from performing live.

Who profits from our online lives? How is all our clicking and scrolling giving tech companies such unprecedented power and wealth? This isn't capitalism, argues Yanis Varoufakis: it's technofeudalism. Maverick economist Varoufakis argues that we're all serfs now, paying rents to the big tech "cloudalists” (cloud + capitalists). He talks about why we don't actually own the music and movies we buy online; what Don Draper knew about behaviour modification; and how a Star Trek future could save us, and democracy. Yanis Varoufakis is the former finance Minister of Greece whose latest book is called Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism.Also, Vass and Katrina talk about whether Civil War is worth a trek to the theatre.This is Lately.

Note: This is a rebroadcast. Do you ever get to feeling kind of down, dejected, and anxious come Sunday evening? People refer to this phenomenon as the “Sunday Night Blues,” and it's a common experience. You may have chalked it up to rueing the fact that your fun and restful weekend is over, and that you have yet another workweek ahead.But my guest would say that your Sunday night sadness may also be rooted in the feeling of regret — the regret that you didn't put your weekend to good use, that it wasn't restful and fun, and that it was instead busy, draining, and, once again, a big letdown. Her name is Katrina Onstad, and she's the author of The Weekend Effect. Today Katrina shares how the idea of the weekend, of having two back-to-back days off from work, came about, and how it's been challenged and subsequently eroded in the modern day. We then talk about how to take back your weekends, so that your invaluable Saturdays and Sundays feel more the way they did when you were a kid — filled with a sense of possibility.Resources Related to the PodcastSaint MondayHaymarket square affairAoM Podcast #602: The Case for Being UnproductiveAoM Podcast #450: How to Make Time for What Really MattersAoM Podcast #748: Time Management for MortalsAoM Podcast #743: How to Get Time, Priorities, and Energy Working in Your FavorAoM Article: How to Better Manage Your Life AdminAoM Article: The Rise of SpectatoritisAoM Article: The Lost Art of Cheap RecreationConnect With Katrina OnstadKatrina's Website

Known for her candid talk and blunt advice about sex, Dr. Ruth Westheimer is the world's most renowned psychosexual therapist. But beneath her joyful demeanor is a chaotic story about her youth—a girl named Karola Ruth Siegel left orphaned and stateless. How does she harness all of this uncertainty - and the sexual awakenings of adolescence - to make it in the world? Dr. Ruth shared her diary for the first time with the Leo Baeck Institute – and with all of you – for this episode of Exile. We are grateful for her generosity with her time and her story – and for the decades of sound advice.  Learn more at www.lbi.org/westheimer.

Joseph Roth and Stefan Zweig are two of the most celebrated Austrian writers of their time. Despite their contrasting lives and demeanors, they become fast friends and develop a brotherly bond. But when Hitler comes into power, tensions loom over their friendship. In the end, both men can't save each other from hopelessness in exile. After his death in Paris in 1939, a group of Joseph Roth's friends collected his meager belongings from his hotel room. His belongings eventually ended up with Roth's French translator. Among the papers were manuscripts, correspondence, and hundreds of photographs. These materials now form the basis of the Joseph Roth Collection in the LBI Archives.

In the early days of World War II, artist Hans Jacoby and his wife, Emma, are desperate to flee Germany. Most of the world has shut its doors to European Jews, yet there's one surprising exception: Shanghai. Along with thousands of other Jews, they arrive in Shanghai, believing they're safe. But even this far from home, they can't escape the horrors of the war.  Hans Jacoby brought his handwritten diaries from Shanghai to the US, where they found their way into the LBI Archives along with some of his artworks, photographs, and other mementos of his time in China. The Archives also include the personal papers, artworks, and newspapers published by dozens of other Jewish refugees in Shanghai that provide vivid insights into the struggles of this community.

As a highly trained German-Jewish physician with an interest in heredity and physical anthropology, William Nussbaum studied under some of the leading proponents of race science and eugenics at the University of Berlin. When the Nazis rise to power, rather than quit his inquiries, he launches a bold project to use the methods of race science to disprove Nazi racial theories. The Gestapo tolerates his research – briefly – but it is a eugenics-informed immigration policy in the United States that threatens to keep him from his youngest child. The William & Lotte Nussbaum Collection in the Archives of the Leo Baeck Institute in New York includes correspondence between William and Lotte, William's paintings and poetry, as well as records of the "Working Group for Jewish Genetic Research and Eugenics."

When controversial Berlin artist Lene Schneider-Kainer flees the safe confines of her posh marriage and life to retrace Marco Polo's legendary voyage—with her new lover, a celebrity novelist —the adventure she seeks isn't the one she gets. The scandalous choice turns her into a permanent exile, always seeking. The Art & Objects Collection of the Leo Baeck Institute in New York contains hundreds of stunning watercolors by Lene from her 1920s trip.

It's 1940. Western Europe is collapsing under Hitler's onslaught. Famous Jewish dramaturg Kurt Hirschfeld flees to Switzerland. He forms a theatre collective that uses the stage to bravely rage against Hitler's relentless war machine. But is it safe to be so daring, even after escaping Germany?

At the height of his fame, a shirtless, barefooted Albert Einstein escapes the bustle of Berlin for a simpler life. The best thinkers of the time gather at his beloved summer house in Caputh to laze by the water, swap ideas, and gossip. There, he can escape the pressures of global fame, but his summer haven can't keep him safe from the growing Nazi movement bubbling in Germany.  The Albert Einstein Collections in the Archives of the Leo Baeck Institute in New York include hundreds of Einstein's personal photographs, many from Caputh, as well as the Guestbook from his summer home. After a few pages bearing the signatures of the friends and international luminaries who visited the Einsteins those short summers before 1933, most of the pages remain blank.

That oh so dreaded Monday feeling. The case of the Monday's. Low energy. Stressed. Dejected. Tired. That "is it Friday yet?" feeling. We've all been there. But why? Why can't we just be present? Why can't we be in the moment? What's so special about Friday? What's so special about the weekend? We rush for the weekend to arrive and then we're back to being anxious and stressed come Sunday. A vicious cycle if I do say so myself. Stop living for the weekend. Live in the present. Be here. Be in the now.

In this episode I speak with Katrina Onstad, author of The Weekend Effect. Her   book addresses the life changing benefits of taking time off and challenging the cult of overwork and makes the case for reclaiming our weekends to increase creativity, productivity, and success in our lives.Katrina and I open our conversation by discussing the historical origins of the weekend and how the concept of having 2 days off in a row is a fairly new construct.Next, we'll discover the roll organized labor unions played in establishing the weekend in the fight for better living standards of its members.Later we unpack how the emergence of technology has begun to blur the lines between on and off shift. And why trying to curate the perfect weekend can leave you feeling drained. And we'll end our conversation by giving you the information you need to take back your weekends so that you come away rested, relaxed, and ready to tackle the week ahead.The Show NotesThe Weekend Effecthttps://katrinaonstad.com/Grit Nation  Webpagehttps://www.gritnationpodcast.comJoin the Grit Nation MVP Teamhttps://mailchi.mp/c28da31260b8/grit-nation-podcast-sign-up-pageFollow Grit Nation on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/gritnationpodcast/Grit Nation YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy-gSacdByjCCec1KeWDJgwLeave a Review on Podchaserhttps://www.podchaser.com/GritNationQEgDPb2Udr0IIX7aCgRcEmail comments or suggestions to:joe@gritnationpodcast.comGrit NW is a proud member of the Labor Radio / Podcast Networkhttps://www.laborradionetwork.org/  NW Carpenters Union United Brotherhood of Carpenters, Regional Council in the Pacific NW 6 states + 29k members strong!!Union Home Plus Union Home Plus helps union members save money when they buy, sell, or finance their home.

 Hi, Joe Cadwell here, the writer producer and host of Grit Nation. Next week's episode drops on the 10th taking but I wanted to get out a trailer for some highlights of upcoming season four.But before I do though, I want to take a moment to reflect on the show.If asked what I like most about hosting a podcast, I would have to say getting to talk with some really interesting folks is at the top.For example, last season alone I had the pleasure of speaking with industry leaders, authors, and innovators like - Brian Bogert, Ken Rusk, Jamie McCallum, Joann Greeley, Patrick Town and the three Mark's - Torres, McDermott and Martinez. Their insight, wisdom, and perspective really delivered. I hope you agree.Season 4 promises to be a strong one as well.For example, my interview with New York Times contributor and  author of Dirty Work - Essential Jobs and the Hidden Toll of Inequality in America, Eyal Press is going to be a great one.Eyal and I discuss occupations that often takes place in the shadows of society.From workers on the “kill floors” of industrial slaughterhouses to drone pilots who carry out targeted assassinations, his book Dirty Work, digs deep into the nature of morally questionable work and the mental strain it places on those who perform it.In another season 4 release, I talk with award-winning journalist, Katrina Onstad, about her book, The Weekend Effect – which addresses;The life-changing benefits of taking time off and challenging the cult of overwork.  Katrina and I will discuss organized labor's role in establishing the 2-day weekend and why it is so important to protect these sacred 48 hours.This is just a sampling of what's to come. Please be sure to like, subscribe, or follow the show so you won't miss an episode. And oh yeah, share it to with someone you think may get something out of it.You may have noticed the show went through a bit rebranding recently. What originally started as a regional show highlighting carpenters in the Pacific NW has grown in size and scope and is now listened to nationally and internationally.So regardless if you're a carpenter, iron worker, plumber, electrician, laborer or work in a specialized craft, our futures as the builders of infrastructure and generational wealth is something to be proud of.As always, the mission of this podcast is to shine a positive light on those who choose to do the tough, dirty, overlooked and often underappreciated work that keeps the gears of society turning.As 2022 begins, but my promise to you is to continue provide quality, informative, and thought-provoking content that is beneficial to your life and career. So that's it. I hope you have a start to the new year. And until next time remember to:Be safe, be kind and stay union strong.
