Gordon Chang says Biden has tried to appease the Dictator Putin and all of Europe may pay the price for it. Sen. Tuberville says Biden is creating the same situation with Ukraine as he did Afghanistan and questions U.S. Military readiness. Biden has only showed weakness while Trump kept Putin at bay for four years. GUESTS: SEN. TOMMY TUBERVILLE & GORDON CHANG
Former President Barack Obama recently spoke with Aarti Shahani, host of WBEZ's Art of Power podcast, about masculinity in the post-Donald Trump era. Obama said society has made progress in recognizing the most toxic elements of bad behavior by men. But now he wants to flip the focus. “What are the positive values that we're trying to instill in our boys?” he said. “Showing compassion is not weakness. Listening is as important as talking.” We're bringing you this exclusive interview with the former president as a bonus to the Making Obama podcast series. Hear the former president explain his experience balancing ambition with family obligations and how he wants to expand the definition of what it means to be a man. And if you like what you hear, subscribe to WBEZ's Art of Power podcast for more conversations with people who have changed the world.

Just two and a half years after his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech, Barack Obama announced he was running for president.
Tomi Adeyemi is the 24-year-old author of 'Children of Blood and Bone,' a new young adult novel that — in terms of pop culture blockbusters — could be on par with 'The Hunger Games' or 'Harry Potter.' The book, the first in a West African-inspired fantasy series, hit shelves earlier this month — more than a year after the movie rights were picked up by Fox 2000. Adeyemi tells Nerdette that part of her motivation to write the book stemmed from racist reactions to 'The Hunger Games' movies. “There were people online being like, ‘Why’d they make Rue and Cinna black? Why’d they make all the good characters black? It wasn’t sad when Rue was speared to death because she was black,’” Adeyemi says. “Seeing that level of racism applied in a fictional world heightened it for me. Because yes, The Hunger Games isn’t real, but the fact that someone could feel that strongly and have that much hatred for something that isn’t even real? I’m like, if that’s what you feel for fake things, then what do you feel about me?”Adeyemi talks with Nerdette host Greta Johnsen and special guest-host Jenn White (of WBEZ's Making Obama and Making Oprah podcasts) about how she came to write a fantasy novel that simultaneously depicted the modern black experience.

For tiden bliver begrebet ‘teknologi-afhængighed’ debatteret voldsomt både i Danmark og internationalt. Det er især vores konstante smartphone-fifleri og vores evige ‘refresh’ af feeds i sociale medier, der bekymrer. Vi bruger for meget tid på ingenting, og det gode spørgsmål er selvfølgelig, hvilke vigtige eller væsentlige eller ‘bedre’ ting vi så går glip af? Det handler dog ikke “kun” om manglende ryggrad og svag disciplin. I de seneste par år er det blevet tydeligt, at de store techfirmaer går benhårdt efter præcis at designe deres gadget og apps og tjenester, så de er nærmest umulige at lægge fra sig. Men er teknologi-afhængighed et reelt problem, hvor rammer det hårdest, og hvad kan vi gøre ved det? Det spørgsmål har Jeppe, Adam og Anders stillet sig selv - og ikke mindst en lille håndfuld eksperter fra vidt forskellige områder (omend der nok specielt er fokus på de generationer, som netop nu er ved at vokse op). Der bliver dog også tips til sidst, som sædvanlig. Links Tristan Harris og projektet Time Well Spent - tidligere Facebook-ansat, som nu har kastet sig over at begrænse vores afhængighed af især sociale medier Mehlsen Media - Camilla Mehlsen forsker især i børn og unges brug af teknologi Dansk Behandling for Computerspil- og Onlineafhængighed Ørum skole på Djursland hvor de har mobilforbud både i timer og frikvarterer Jesper Balslev - har netop fået udgivet bogen “Kritik af den digitale fornuft i uddannelse” Tips Recomendo nyhedsbrev - meta-tip om et ugentligt nyhedsbrev med masser af gode ideer til alt fra billige sandaler til apps eller nye spisevaner… Making Obama-podcast Google Drive File Stream - bedre organisering af hvilke filer der ligger lokalt, og hvilke der ligger i skyen på Google Drive PRAKTISK SAMDATAHK podcasten sætter fokus på relevante it-faglige og it-politiske emner og nørdet igennem på helt specifikke temaer. Tovholder på podcasten er it-faglig konsulent Jeppe Engell som sammen med Adam Bindslev og Anders Høeg Nissen er de faste værter på podcasten, der udkommer hvert 14 dag. Formålet er at gøre lytterne klogere på hvad der sker i deres arbejdsliv her og nu og i fremtiden, og gå i dybden med problemstillinger fra It-professionelles hverdag. Tak fordi du lytter med – får du lyst til at komme med ris og ros, kan du sende en e-mail til jeppe.engell@hk.dk og hvis du har tekniske spørgsmål eller kommentarer kan de sendes til anders@podlab.dk
