In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, Timothy Shanahan, Ph.D., distinguished professor emeritus from the University of Illinois at Chicago, joins Susan Lambert to distinguish between reading comprehension, learning from a text, and the process of learning to read. He compares learning to read with athletic training, explaining that just as athletes need to vary their workout intensities to maximize their strength, students need to vary their text difficulty to maximize their comprehension, reading skills, and overall learning. Together, Timothy and Susan also discuss why reading comprehension is an ethical act and the power of simply rereading to increase comprehension.Show notes:Submit your questions on comprehension! Access free, high-quality resources at our brand-new companion professional learning page  Connect with Timothy Shanahan, Ph.D.Learn more about Timothy Shanahan, Ph.D.Read the blog post "Don't Confuse Reading Comprehension and Learning to Read (and to Reread)"Listen to Leveled reading, leveled lives, with Tim Shanahan, Ph.D.Listen to Mitchell Brookins, Ph.D. on Beyond My Years Listen to Season 2 of Amplify's Beyond My Years podcastJoin our community Facebook group.Connect with Susan LambertQuotes:"We're trying to teach kids to read, and a text that is immediately comprehensible leaves you very little to learn." —Timothy Shanahan, Ph.D."Reading comprehension is not just a psychological or cognitive action—it's an ethical action." —Timothy Shanahan, Ph.D."Comprehension is not automatic. It isn't just, 'Oh, if you decode, you're going to comprehend.'" —Timothy Shanahan, Ph.D."A good reader has to start out with a determination. 'My job here is to understand it, not just to read it.'" —Timothy Shanahan, Ph.D.Timestamps*:00:00 Introduction: Learning to read vs. reading to learn with Timothy Shanahan, Ph.D.06:00 Reading comprehension is not just a psychological or cognitive action, it's an ethical action.09:00 Authors know their readers and so they put in affordances aimed at the reader.15:00 Timothy's motivation for writing his blog post, "Don't Confuse Reading Comprehension and Learning to Read."17:00 A text that is immediately comprehensible, leaves you very little to learn.19:00 You can increase the learning for most people if you increase the difficulty.24:00 An argument for students to read more rigorous texts.28:00 A good reader has to start out with determination.35:00 The different between learning and understanding is an issue of remembering.39:00 Teachers need to teach kids to be strategic.42:00 Timothy Shanahan's new wrinkle in thinking about comprehension, understanding, and learning.44:00 In conclusion: Kids should be reading texts with varying levels of difficulty.*Timestamps are approximate, rounded to nearest minute

Alan Dershowitz has become a lightning rod for criticism because of his longstanding defense of Jeffrey Epstein, including his prominent role on Epstein's legal team during the controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement and his public efforts to defend Epstein well after the seriousness of the crimes became undeniable. Critics point out that Dershowitz didn't just serve as an attorney; he embraced Epstein personally, describing him as a “good person who does many good things,” even as evidence mounted about widespread sexual abuse of minors — a stance that looks indefensible in hindsight and deeply harmful to survivors. Dershowitz also reportedly spearheaded efforts to discredit young accusers, including hiring investigators and sending personal details from an accuser's social media to law enforcement in ways that many view as victim-blaming rather than legitimate defense.Beyond his legal work, Dershowitz's critics argue that his public posture has repeatedly protected powerful individuals instead of truth and accountability. He has claimed to “know the names” of people connected to Epstein's circle and suggested alleged suppression of information — statements that feed conspiracy theories rather than clarify facts, all while insisting on his own innocence and the rights of the accused over the voices of victims. This has compounded outrage because many see it as another layer of elite insulation, where a famed lawyer uses his platform to cast doubt on systemic abuse rather than confront it, and in doing so, perpetuates the same culture of power and privilege that enabled Epstein for decades.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Braden Dennis is the 30-year-old founder and CEO of Fiscal AI, who scaled an AI-powered financial research platform from a frustration-driven side project to a venture-backed company serving over 150,000 users with institutional-grade data analytics that democratizes investment research previously accessible only through expensive platforms like Bloomberg and FactSet.Episode Sponsor: Fiscal AI is a modern data terminal that gives investors instant access to twenty years of financials, earnings transcripts, and extensive segment and KPI data—use my link for a two-week free trial plus 15% off: https://fiscal.ai/talkingbillions/3:00 - Braden shares his middle-class Toronto upbringing and early realization that he was a "math kid," choosing engineering for maximum career optionality while observing that family members who invested aggressively, not those who simply earned the most, achieved the greatest financial success.6:00 - The crucial insight: capitalism isn't zero-sum, and asset ownership is the key to benefiting from the system. Braden emphasizes that the barrier to owning assets is lower than ever, yet many feel cheated by not participating.9:00 - The origin story of Fiscal AI: Built as a side project while working at a venture capital firm, Braden needed better tools for portfolio monitoring. After two years of development and hitting 1,000 users, he made the leap to full-time entrepreneurship despite pushback from friends and family.15:00 - The "aha moment": Seeing Nvidia's revenue growth in real-time data visualization changed everything. "I could just watch the revenue go up, and I was like, okay, this thing is clearly a buy," demonstrating the power of visual data interaction.30:00 - Why Fiscal AI exists: Traditional financial terminals cost $20,000-$30,000 annually and use outdated 1980s interfaces. Fiscal AI brings institutional-grade data to everyone at accessible price points with modern design.45:00 - The AI transformation57:00 - Powerful example: Booking.com vs. Airbnb revenue recovery post-COVID reveals how narratives differ from data reality - most would assume Airbnb recovered faster, but data shows otherwise.1:04:00 - On success: Braden battles his forward-focused personality, measuring success by building a sustainable business where shareholders and employees (all equity holders) achieve exceptional outcomes, not just the founder.1:07:00 - Major announcement: Fiscal AI now offers 10 years of historical data on their free plan, more than any competitor, removing barriers for investors at every level.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

The $500 million lawsuit was filed by a woman who claimed she suffered severe and lifelong medical complications after being repeatedly raped by Epstein as a teenager. In her complaint, she alleged that Epstein knowingly infected her with HPV, which later developed into cancer requiring multiple surgeries and ongoing treatment. She argued that Epstein used his wealth, power, and manipulation to coerce her into silence while knowingly exposing her to a dangerous virus. The lawsuit framed the decades of medical trauma she endured as a direct consequence of Epstein's abuse, asserting that the estate should be held financially responsible for the staggering health and emotional costs she continued to face.The complaint also accused the Epstein estate of minimizing and concealing the extent of her injuries and the long-term consequences of Epstein's conduct, even as other survivor claims moved through the compensation fund. She argued that her damages far exceeded what the fund could offer, both because of the scale of her medical bills and the lasting impact on her quality of life. By seeking $500 million, she contended that the estate must finally acknowledge the full breadth of harm Epstein inflicted—harm that, in her case, would last for the rest of her life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this episode of Science of Reading: The Podcast, top literacy scholar Tim Shanahan, Ph.D., returns to discuss his new book, Leveled Reading, Leveled Lives: How Students' Reading Achievement Has Been Held Back and What We Can Do About It. During his conversation with Susan Lambert, he outlines what existing research says about leveled reading—and why it's not effective. He also shares how the misuse of theory can lead to ineffectual conclusions, makes a case for the efficacy of more explicit instruction, and provides a few simple tweaks teachers can make to classroom instruction that can make a big difference for their students. Show notes:Access free, high-quality resources at our brand new companion professional learning page. Resources:Book: Leveled Reading, Leveled Lives: How Students' Reading Achievement Has Been Held Back and What We Can Do About ItJoin our community Facebook group.Connect with Susan Lambert.Quotes: “This notion of trying to match kids to books and get everybody to their right level is, at the very least, wasteful.

For decades, schools have relied on leveled readers to teach kids how to read—but what if they've been setting students up to guess instead of actually read? In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between leveled readers and decodable books, and why one approach is backed by science while the other reinforces bad reading habits.We'll explore what makes decodable books so powerful, how they align with phonics instruction, and when to transition students to authentic texts. If your school still pushes leveled readers, I'll also share practical ways to advocate for change (with data to back you up!).In this episode, I'll dive into... Why leveled readers encourage guessing instead of decoding.How decodable books strengthen phonics and spelling skills.When (and how) to transition students from decodable books to authentic texts.Actionable steps to advocate for research-based reading instruction in your school.Show LinksNonfiction decodable books: PenguinsDecodable booksJoin Malia on InstagramBecome a Science of Reading Formula member!Rate, Review, and FollowIf you loved this episode, please take a minute to rate and review my show!

Diego García Luna is a former Mexican government official who served as the head of Mexico's Federal Investigation Agency (AFI) from 2001 to 2005 and as Secretary of Public Security from 2006 to 2012. He was arrested in Texas, USA, on December 9, 2020, on charges of drug trafficking and accepting bribes from the Sinaloa Cartel. García Luna has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and his case is ongoing in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.In this episode, we hear testimony from several witnesses who not only drop the dime on Garcia Luna, but they had some very interesting things to say about the former president of Mexico Felipe Calderon and the corruption that he was allegedly involved in.(commercial at 7:40)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Former Mexican president accused of supporting Sinaloa cartel | The Seattle Times

In this episode, Susan Lambert welcomes back Sue Pimentel to discuss the history and impact of the Common Core State Standards on English Language Arts and Literacy (ELA) education in the United States. Susan and Sue revisit what the standards were designed to focus on: knowledge building, college and career readiness, and fluency in both literary and informational texts. Their conversation covers the importance of text complexity, the lack of a research base to support leveled readers, and knowledge building as a matter of equity and content as a matter of access. While acknowledging the value of these standards, the discussion also highlights their limitations. Sue underscores the importance of always returning to the research to ensure students are truly learning, preparing them to navigate the world and ultimately, live happier lives.Show notes:Website: Knowledge Matters Review ToolListen: Season 4, Episode 5: Reading as liberation with Sue PimentelRead: “Standards Are Not Curriculum”Website: Knowledge Matters CampaignQuotes:“Vocabulary is how we describe concepts; it's how we know how to talk to one another.” —Sue Pimentel“What the standards say is, ‘Leveled texts are out and complex texts are in.' There's no research behind assigning a level to students reading and then sort of imprisoning them in that.” —Sue Pimentel“The more stuff you know, the better you're able to navigate the world….and I think the happier life is. And certainly the happier kids' lives are when they're actually learning stuff.” —Sue Pimentel
