Keen On Democracy
The Vampire Economy: How Private Equity is Sucking the Blood out of the American Dream

Keen On Democracy

It all began in 2019 at DeadSpin where Megan Greenwell was editor-in-chief. She had her dream job at the sports publication she'd always loved, leading a profitable digital media company with a devoted readership. Then the curse of private equity arrived. Within three months, everything collapsed. As Greenwell argues in her new book, Bad Company, she was pushed out, her entire staff followed, and the site was eventually sold to a Maltese gambling operation. What should have been a routine business acquisition became a personal awakening. Greenwell realized she'd witnessed something much larger than corporate mismanagement—she'd seen how private equity is producing avampire economy sucking the blood out of the American Dream. five takeaways1. Private Equity Violates Free Market Principles Greenwell argues that PE actually corrupts capitalism rather than representing it—citing Milton Friedman's own exceptions for public services like healthcare and education, which are now PE's biggest targets.2. The Debt Transfer Loophole Creates Perverse Incentives In leveraged buyouts, PE firms load companies with 70-80% debt but transfer responsibility to the acquired company, allowing firms to profit even when businesses fail—as happened with Toys"R"Us.3. Workers Rarely Know PE Owns Their Employer Until It's Too Late Most employees discover private equity ownership only when everything falls apart, because the company name on their paycheck remains the same while control shifts to financial engineers.4. The Vampire Effect Goes Beyond Individual Companies PE isn't just killing businesses—it's hollowing out entire communities, from rural hospitals in Wyoming to local newspapers, destroying the infrastructure that sustains small American towns.5. Solutions Exist at State and Local Levels While federal regulation remains unlikely, progress is happening through state laws (like Massachusetts healthcare regulations), pension fund pressure campaigns, and nonprofit alternatives that prioritize sustainability over shareholder value.Megan Greenwell is an American journalist, editor, and writer with extensive experience across print and digital media. She was the first female editor-in-chief of Deadspin and editor of Wired.com Background & Education: Greenwell grew up in Berkeley, California. Her mother is an Episcopal priest who currently serves as the Dean of Christ Church Cathedral in Cincinnati. She attended Berkeley High School, where she was a reporter for the school newspaper and graduated from Columbia University (Barnard College) in 2006, where she was editor-in-chief of the Columbia Spectator Career Highlights:* Started as a staff writer at The Washington Post, covering education, philanthropy, and the war in Iraq, including a three-month stint at the paper's Baghdad bureau * Was part of The Washington Post team that won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news coverage of the Virginia Tech shooting WikipediaMegangreenwell* Worked as managing editor of GOOD Magazine, inaugural features editor at New York magazine's The Cut, and senior editor of ESPN The Magazine * Served as executive features editor for Esquire.com before becoming the fifth and first female editor-in-chief of Deadspin in 2018 * Later worked as editor of Wired.com and interim editor-in-chief of WIRED Current Work: She's now a freelance journalist based in Brooklyn and deputy director of the Princeton Summer Journalism Program PrincetonMegangreenwell.

Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, has been the focus of mythology, astronomy, astrology and esoteric arts in many cultures for millenia. In the southern hemisphere, it was connected with the arrival of winter and was used for navigation. In the Mediterranean region, it signaled the arrival of the hottest days of summer, and was connected to goddess Isis and the mysteries of death and rebirth. The Maltese temples were aligned to Sirius. But there are also strange stories coming from many tribes around the globe, about having received their knowledge from Sirius directly, through communion with the star beings. Some even claim to have descended from Sirius. In this episode, I will talk about the significance of Sirius in some of those communities, including my own. I will also discuss the Akashic Records perspective on souls that have a direct connection with Sirius (what some people call Sirrian starseeds)

Rose's story begins in the throes of World War 2, in one of the darkest moments in Maltese history, as the island was laid siege by the axis powers and be the most bombed territory in all of the war.Rose came from a big family, which reflected the human cost to the population, having their house destroyed and family members killed. Rose was born after the Siege of Malta was lifted, but life was difficult in the post-war period and many Maltese would seek to emigrate. Like tens of thousands of others, Rose's family would migrate to Australia in the 1950s. She grew up in Melbourne in a big family. Melbourne was not the multicultural melting pot it is today, and Rose recalls the family being targets of some unwelcoming insults, but her memories of growing were mostly positive ones.It was many years later that she moved with her then husband to Launceston, where she still resides today. Although she has lived in Australia along time now, and Tasmania is for her the best place in the world, she still cherishes parts of her Maltese heritage such as the language, the food and some of them unspoken values from her mother such as caring for others and making no one goes without. Today there are around 40,000 Maltese-born living in Australia, a big number for such a small islands nation, but which demonstrates the special historical connection between Malta and Australia.

Maltese producer Rebecca Theuma's project That bb gets a makeover from Yetsuby Manda, one of half of salamanda's solo project on Wrong Island communications. There once was a creature called That BB, Who lived on the shores of Wrong Island, you see. “I Wish I Had Something To Say But I Don't,” Was the phrase that this creature would constantly flaunt. The Yetsuby came with remixes so strange, While Wrong Island Communication deranged All the messages sent by the creatures around, Resulting in quite an peculiar sound. “Oh fiddle-dee-fumble!” That BB would cry, As it danced ‘neath the purple-green spots in the sky. “My Communication is terribly wrong, I can't seem to finish this nonsensical song!” So they pranced and they prangled through dew-dabbled dawn, With Communication so curiously drawn. That BB and Yetsuby on Wrong Island stayed, In gloriously gibberish games that they played. We're premiering Yetsuby's remix of “I Wish I Had Something To Say But I Don't” from Maltese producer Rebecca Theuma's project That bb. The track comes from her upcoming EP “The Words Are Stuck In My Throat” on Wrong Island Communications, with Yetsuby (one half of Korean act Salamanda) maintaining the dreamlike original but transforming it into a skittering, drum-laden, handclap madness, wig out. One for the sunrise methinks, whether that's the end of a very long night or the start of a beautiful new day. “I wrote these songs while going through a prolonged writer's block. I had moved to another country and found myself feeling very alone and lost,” explains Theuma. “At this particular point in my life, sounds were better at explaining my inner landscape than words.” The EP will be released on the ACE Scottish-born, now Lisbon-based label Wrong Island, with artwork by Polish artist Jo Sekieta. @wrongisland

If you've ever wondered what the view from the International Space Station might look like in real-time, this is your episode. Or if you just want to know more about who's up there and what's going on at the ISS on a particular day, this is it. Liam Kennedy, the one and only Space TV Director, is with us. Liam has been working to bring content and video from the ISS down to earth for over a decade, and it's all come together just this year! Liam invented ISS Above, a Raspberry Pi-driven system that highlights key information about the space station in real-time. Join us for this special look at the view from on high! Headlines: NASA is cutting $420 million in contracts, as confirmed by NASA press secretary Bethany Stevens. Boeing Starliner's next crewed launch was delayed to late 2025 / early 2026 due to ongoing helium leaks and thruster issues. Northrop Grumman's Cygnus cargo mission (CRS-22) was canceled after the spacecraft was damaged during shipping; it will be rescheduled to CRS-23 in the fall. Historic FRAM 2 mission launching March 31 - first human spaceflight over Earth's poles, financed by Maltese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Chun Wang. The Blue Origin launch date with Katy Perry, the first all-female mission since Valentina Tereshkova's solo flight, is set for April 14. A partial solar eclipse will be visible over northern US and Canada on March 29. Main Topic - Interview with Liam Kennedy Liam Kennedy's space journey began at age 6, watching the Apollo 11 moon landing, leading to becoming president of Orange County Astronomers and developing ways for the public to experience the Overview Effect. ISS Above is a Raspberry Pi device created in 2013 that tracks the ISS and lights up when it passes overhead, and is now in 5,000 locations worldwide. Kennedy partnered with SEN, founded by Charles Black, to create high-quality 4K cameras for the ISS after NASA's HDEV camera system stopped transmitting in 2019. SEN provides free live streaming of Earth from space via YouTube and SEN.com, generating revenue through advertising and clip licensing. The Space TV camera system includes six cameras on the Columbus module of the ISS, showcasing docking ports, Earth views, and the horizon. Space TV offers dramatically higher quality than NASA's existing cameras and captured stunning 4K footage of Boeing Starliner's undocking and Crew Dragon flights. SEN plans to expand with more cameras and locations, including potential deployment on future commercial space stations and lunar missions. Kennedy discusses the "Overview Effect" - how seeing Earth from space creates a transformative perspective that inspires action on Earth. The ISS Above Experience will be featured at the Space Symposium to celebrate the 25th anniversary of continuous human presence on the ISS.

If you've ever wondered what the view from the International Space Station might look like in real-time, this is your episode. Or if you just want to know more about who's up there and what's going on at the ISS on a particular day, this is it. Liam Kennedy, the one and only Space TV Director, is with us. Liam has been working to bring content and video from the ISS down to earth for over a decade, and it's all come together just this year! Liam invented ISS Above, a Raspberry Pi-driven system that highlights key information about the space station in real-time. Join us for this special look at the view from on high! Headlines: NASA is cutting $420 million in contracts, as confirmed by NASA press secretary Bethany Stevens. Boeing Starliner's next crewed launch was delayed to late 2025 / early 2026 due to ongoing helium leaks and thruster issues. Northrop Grumman's Cygnus cargo mission (CRS-22) was canceled after the spacecraft was damaged during shipping; it will be rescheduled to CRS-23 in the fall. Historic FRAM 2 mission launching March 31 - first human spaceflight over Earth's poles, financed by Maltese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Chun Wang.

"Hagar Qim, on the south western edge of Malta, is one of the oldest built structures in the world. Over 5000 years old, this megalithic temple overlooks the dazzling blue Mediterranean. In 2008, canopies were constructed to protect these monuments from further elemental damage. Small birds, mainly sparrows, have now made their home among the high eaves of these shelters, their calls echoing through the temple. This spot is unusually far from the traffic and urban noise that dominates much of the island, and I was able to record the bird sounds as I walked up the stony cliff path towards the temple.  "To me, sparrows are one of the characteristic sounds of the Maltese islands, along with the sound of the sea and the ringing of church bells, none of which you are ever far from. My piece merges my own field recordings of these three quintessential Maltese sounds with something very personal. My grandfather was a teacher and writer from Mqabba, a tiny village near Hagar Qim. When he retired, he undertook a labour of love in translating John Milton's epic poem “Paradise Lost” into Maltese. I recorded my own father, born and bred in Malta, but now sadly in ill health, reciting some of his father's translation of this famous poem telling the story of the Garden of Eden and humanity's loss of paradise, along with his own reminiscences, including his own birth in 1941 in a building called Milton House. I am aware that time is running on, and this may have been my last opportunity to work with my father on such a piece.  "The final link in this chain from Malta's past to my present is my own whispered voice reading the equivalent passages from Milton's original work, which I studied as an English undergraduate many years ago, and a simple synthesiser melody referencing Bach's C major prelude/Ave Maria, a piece close to my heart which I sometimes play as a duet with my own young son. The ancient past of Malta, in the bird filled paradise of Hagar Qim, entwines with the Christian and colonial roots of the island today, Maltese and English, pagan and prayer. I dedicate this piece to my father Pio, and to my grandfather Francis Xavier."

Liana's work focuses on Islamic esotericism and the occult sciences, with a special interest in the exchange of esoteric and occult knowledge between the Islamic and Latin inhabited lands. Her book The Arabic Influences on Early Modern Occult Philosophy was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2015. She is currently preparing a long-awaited critical translation from Arabic into English of the grimoire known as the Picatrix. A few of her research projects include the tenth-century secret brotherhood known as The Brethren of Purity, and the pseudo-Aristotelian Hermetica. She also worked as a project curator at the British Museum, deepening her interest in the material and artistic manifestations of the occult and the esoteric.Liana is a founding member of the European Network for the Study of Islam and Esotericism (ENSIE). Editorial roles include being a board member for Aries: Journal for the Study of Western Esotericism and Brill's Islamic Translation Series, and an associate editor of the journal Early Science and Medicine.In this interview, Liana speaks at length about Islamic Esotericism. This is an area of esoteric history that I haven't yet touched upon, so I was happy that Liana agreed to share her extensive knowledge on this topic. Some highlights of our discussion include: why the views and discourse of Islam within the area of “Western” esotericism is problematic; academic debates and disagreements in this area, how Liana defines Islamic esotericism, including paradigms and social orientations; and why the relationship between the idea of an eternal truth and the Islamic law raises anxiety in how Islamic esotericism is interpreted. Liana also discusses her research that deals with the 17th century Maltese inquisition, in particular the trial of Sellem the Moor, a Muslim enslaved person who was accused of being a magician. This work is part of a larger volume called Magic in Malta, and Liana examines this trial on three interconnected levels, and is a down-to-earth, practical example of how magic was being used by people at this time. Be sure to check out the program notes for links to all of the articles discussed in this episode.

Cities and Memory - remixing the sounds of the world

"The Hypogeum of Ħal Saflieni in Paola, Malta is a Neolithic subterranean structure dating from before 3000 BC. A necropolis and a place of sanctuary, it comprises several chambers carved out of the rock with primitive tools. The sophistication of its creators is evident from the intricate patterns painted in ochre on the ceilings and the entry of light from the surface, which is thought to have illuminated the façade of one of the main chambers at the winter solstice. "For the musician, of particular interest is a niche in the middle chamber, the Oracle Room, apparently created specifically to project sound throughout the Hypogeum. It has also been suggested that the structure resonates at the ‘holy frequency' of 111 Hz (actually nearer to 118 Hz, to this composer's ear), a feature shared with other Maltese temples and structures of the period. Whatever the truth of this assertion, the strong resonance in the source recording is one of the main features of Hypogeum, along with the evocation (through signal processing, predominantly granulation) of drumming and chanting, which may have figured in the rituals performed there. "Thanks to Stuart Fowkes for instigating this wonderful project, and to Dave Webb for his fantastic recording of the Hypogeum, made in August 2008. His original file (with some dynamic processing) is the only source material used in Hypogeum and is embedded more or less in full within the piece, starting at around 1:23."

In “What Makes Gumbo...Gumbo?” Gravy producer Katie Carter King takes us all the way to Northern California to understand what folklorist John Lauden meant when he said, “Gumbo is not a word, it's a syntax, a way of putting something together.”   Cooks and culinarians have long argued about gumbo. Is it Creole or Cajun in its roots and history? Is it a soup, a stew, or some mysterious third thing? But perhaps nothing gets Southerners more heated than conversations about how you make gumbo—from the ingredients to the recipe technique, the dish has long provoked spirited debates. But in the southeast corner of San Francisco, one man has become known as Mr. Gumbo, and he's not looking to pick a fight, but rather start a conversation.   Mr. Gumbo—also known as chef Dontaye Ball—grew up making gumbo with his grandmother. But after she passed away and he took helm of the family's gumbo tradition, Dontaye began to realize the limitations of a single pot of gumbo. The seafood-centric recipe he'd long made accidentally excluded many of his loved ones: vegans, vegetarians, folks with shellfish allergies. So, he decided to cook up something new, something a bit unorthodox. He created a gumbo bar, complete with all the delicious possibilities his friends and family could dream up, including both different soup bases and different accouterments. A recurring event sprung to life, quickly morphing from holiday party to block party to pop-up business.   Growing up, community was always at the forefront of Dontaye's mind. His grandmother centered serving the community in her cooking. Dontaye was raised in the Bayview, a sunny, geographically isolated neighborhood that has been the last corner of the city to gentrify. Once home to Maltese farmers and Chinese shrimpers, the area became home to thousands of Black workers who migrated following the eruption of World War II. A tight-knit community formed, one that took care of its own. While Dontaye had never planned on opening a full restaurant, when a space became open on a prominent corner in his own neighborhood, he saw how much possibility gumbo could offer—and knew he couldn't say no.   In this episode, Katie Carter King learns about Dontaye's path to becoming a restaurateur and community leader. Additionally, geographer and UC Santa Cruz professor Lindsey Dillon helps situate the Gumbo Social story in the larger landscape of Bayview and San Francisco's Black residents and culture.
