Is television the final form of all media? Derek Thompson, the co-author of Abundance, podcaster, and Atlantic writer joins Mixed Signals to explain what he sees as the forces behind what Ben and Max keep observing: The way in which podcasts and other forms of journalism appear to be getting their largest audience in an endless, passive feed of videos first observed by analysts of 20th century television. Derek discusses all that as well as his own turn toward independent media, and his personal pivot to video.

On this week's Mixed Signals, Welch talks to Ben and Max about how the magazine plans to address men amid the prominence of the manosphere, the value in covering niche subcultures, and how the parties thrown by the magazine operate as content creation mechanisms.

We cover three major shifts in Canadian real estate: BC Land Ownership: The Cowichan Tribes won a land title ruling in BC Supreme Court, challenging ownership certainty since 95% of BC is unceded land. This creates risk for developers and lenders due to legal ambiguity. Ontario Rent Control: The government quickly abandoned plans to consult on "security of tenure" rules, showing the political power of tenants — over 50% of Toronto households rent. This reflects a shift toward renter-driven housing policy. Interest Rate Uncertainty: The Bank of Canada is signaling fewer rate cuts than expected, with markets pricing in a "pseudo-pause". This creates challenges for both homeowners and renters. The common theme: power is shifting in Canadian real estate — Indigenous nations reclaiming land, tenants reclaiming policy, and the Bank trying to reclaim inflation control.

On today's podcast:1) Netflix shares fell in premarket trading on Wednesday after the streaming-video company reported third-quarter results it said were hurt by a tax dispute with Brazil. The results came in the wake of reports that Netflix and Comcast are among the companies weighing bids for parts of Warner Bros Discovery. Warner's board will evaluate “a broad range” of options, including a planned split-up of the company by mid-2026, an outright sale or separate deals for its studios and streaming or cable-TV units, according to a statement Tuesday. Separately, shares of Texas Instruments fell after the chipmaker gave an outlook that is weaker than expected, indicating that some customers are slowing orders as they navigate mounting trade tensions.2) Anthropic PBC is in discussions with Alphabet Inc.’s Google about a deal that would provide the artificial intelligence company with additional computing power valued in the high tens of billions of dollars, according to people familiar with the matter. The plan, which has not been finalized, involves Google providing cloud computing services to Anthropic, according to the people, who asked not to be named because the information is private. The deal will allow Anthropic to use Google’s tensor processing units, or TPUs — the company’s chips that are custom designed to accelerate machine learning workloads, one of the people said. Google is a previous investor in, and cloud provider for, Anthropic.3) President Trump predicted an upcoming meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, would yield a “good deal” on trade — while also conceding that the highly anticipated talks may not happen. While Trump foresaw the sit-down as being “very successful,” he said the possibility remains that it could fail to materialize. The two leaders are scheduled to meet later this month at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump orders National Guard troops to Chicago and Portland, making good on his promise to generals to use American cities as "training grounds." Jon, Tommy, and Lovett discuss the court order—issued by a Trump-appointed judge—that blocked the deployment in Portland, the military-style immigration raids that rocked Chicago last week, and the signals that Stephen Miller and the rest of the Trump administration are sending about what's next for blue America. Then, the guys check in on the ongoing government shutdown, react to Trump's unexpected hint that he may be willing to negotiate with Democrats on healthcare subsidies, and discuss what it'll take for Prop 50—California's redistricting response act—to pass in November. Then, Ben Smith, Editor-in-Chief of Semafor and host of the Mixed Signals podcast, joins Tommy to talk about Bari Weiss taking over CBS News, the right's attack on free speech and Jimmy Kimmel, and the future of network media.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Markets were cheered this week by stronger-than-expected new home sales. We are less impressed. The data are notoriously volatile and often revised, offering at best a hazy snapshot of the housing market. More telling, perhaps, is the discord within the Federal Reserve. Regional presidents have struck markedly different notes from Jerome Powell's message last week, underscoring the policy uncertainty that continues to shadow the economic outlook.
Investors looking at housing and homebuilders are probably wondering what to make of the seemingly contradictory messages out of the housing market. In this episode, Tyler, Matt, and Jon drill down into the confounding numbers in the housing market and some recent homebuilder earnings reports. Also, they react to Starbucks restructuring and serve up some stocks on their radar. Tyler Crowe, Matt Frankel, and Jon Quast discuss: - Starbucks unveils a $1 billion restructuring plan - The good, the bad, and the outlook for homebuilder stocks. - Stocks on our radar.

A record-breaking rally in US equities came to a halt on Tuesday as interest-rate sensitive technology stocks extended an early decline after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell gave no signs he would support a cut at the central bank’s October meeting. Micron Technology, the largest US maker of computer memory chips, gave an upbeat forecast for the current quarter after the market closed, which could offer fresh support to tech stocks when traders return. For more, we spoke to Rob Haworth, Senior Investment Strategy Director, U.S. Bank Asset Management Group. In Asia, stocks retreated after a drop in big tech halted the S&P 500’s three-day rally, while mixed signals from Federal Reserve policymakers clouded the path for interest-rate cuts.

The next, they're distant, vague, unresponsive… and you're left wondering what the heck just happened.

The episode elucidates the current dynamics within the furniture industry, highlighting a juxtaposition of challenges and opportunities amidst a climate of economic uncertainty. Most prominently, we discern that the manufacturing sector is grappling with a significant contraction, as evidenced by the recent report from the Institute for Supply Management, which indicates a manufacturing PMI of 48.7%. This contraction is particularly concerning for our industry, with furniture and related products cited among the sectors experiencing decline. However, amidst this backdrop, we observe a resurgence in new furniture orders, which have risen to 51.4%, suggesting that consumer demand remains robust, albeit tempered by production constraints. Furthermore, we examine the broader employment landscape, noting a slowdown in job growth, yet we remain optimistic in recognizing the commendable performance of major retailers such as Macy's, which has demonstrated resilience and adaptability in a challenging market. Thus, while the manufacturing sector confronts formidable obstacles, the overall landscape reveals a nuanced interplay of resilience and opportunity for those within the furniture industry.Takeaways: The manufacturing sector in the United States has experienced a contraction for six consecutive months, indicating significant challenges ahead. Despite the contraction in manufacturing output, new orders for furniture have shown a positive growth trend, suggesting sustained consumer demand. The employment landscape within the furniture manufacturing sector remains bleak, with a notable decrease in job numbers reflecting broader economic uncertainties. Major retailers like Macy's have reported stronger than anticipated sales growth, indicating potential opportunities for furniture manufacturers amidst market challenges. The gap between increasing furniture orders and declining shipments highlights ongoing production and supply chain difficulties that require strategic management. Overall, the furniture industry is navigating a complex environment characterized by both challenges and resilient growth opportunities, necessitating adaptive strategies.

While there was a notable rebound in the composite PMI in July, there were contrasting outcomes across the different series, and bankruptcies are at five-year highs.

This week on The Black Men Think Podcast, we kick things off with a timely question: Where do expectations around money in relationships come from—culture, upbringing, or social media? That one question leads us deep into a conversation on how social media has shifted into "interest media," how dating expectations are shaped by what we see online, and the double standards that still exist when it comes to money and gender roles. We also discuss dating with intention, who should pay on the first date, and where to go if you're trying to make a meaningful impression. In our #AskABlackMan segment, we get transparent about real-life money mistakes in marriage and how they've shaped us today.

Today, Jess, Bishop, and Amy break down the latest twist in U.S.-Ukraine policy after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paused a critical weapons shipment — reportedly without the White House's knowledge. The abrupt delay blindsided Ukraine, Congress, the State Department, and European allies. Days later, President Trump reversed the decision following a tense call with Putin and an escalation of Russian drone attacks on Kyiv.What does this erratic decision-making mean for Ukraine's defense as Russia's summer offensive approaches? Does President Trump's growing frustration with Putin reflect a real shift in his stance?

The thing about social media when it was created was that it was public. Ideas shared were debated for all to see. Today much of that is happening behind closed doors—in group chats. Ben Smith, editor-in-chief of the media outlet Semafor and co-host of the podcast Mixed Signals, speaks with Endless Thread about the elite group chats on Signal and WhatsApp that are shaping American politics. ***** Credits: This episode was produced by Dean Russell. Mix and sound design by Emily Jankowski. The co-hosts are Ben Brock Johnson and Amory Sivertson.
The Prime Minister is in Albania today to focus on immigration: the government has announced that the UK is in talks to set up 'return hubs' with other countries to send failed asylum seekers abroad. Unfortunately for the government though, also going abroad are Britain's millionaires. In the cover article for this week's Spectator, our economics editor Michael Simmons writes that London lost 11,300 dollar millionaires last year alone. These figures run in stark contrast to today's news that GDP increased by 0.7% in the first quarter of 2025. This continues a trend of mixed signals for Britain's economy. Also on the podcast Spectator editor Michael Gove discusses his interview with justice secretary Shabana Mahmood, who announced today that some reoffenders will be recalled to parliament for a reduced, fixed amount of time to relieve the pressure on prisons. Both Michaels join Lucy Dunn to discuss further, and for the full interview with Shabana Mahmood click through to Spectator TV. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.
Donald Trump forces through a Gaza ceasefire upon returning to the White House. Then he almost immediately allows Israel to break the deal and resume the violence while posting AI videos of him and Netanyahu catching rays at a Gaza Resort city. They boldly claim they're about to wipe the Houthis from the face of the Earth, then a few weeks (and a few lost multi-billion dollar airplanes) later he's publicly praising their bravery and negotiating a new deal, while simultaneously reengaging with Hamas, which enrages Israel officials. Does any of this make sense? Is there a strategy at play here, or is this just the chaos that follows from a guy who is simply listening to the advice of the last person he spoke to? Ken Klippenstein unfortunately returns to the show to discuss.Also: updates on the trade war, aging Democrats, the FBI getting defunded, the American Pope and much more. This is a public episode.

Does absence really make the heart grow fonder . . . especially when the person you're into seems to forget you exist when you're not in the same room? When you're together, life couldn't be better. You have off-the-charts chemistry, they're totally focused on you, and your connection feels genuine. The catch? When you're apart, you feel invisible as communication slows to a crawl and often drops off completely. As a result of these mixed signals, you're essentially living in two completely different realities, and you'd do anything to get some clarity. You might even ask yourself: “Should I try to invest in this relationship even more to show how serious I am? Or would it be better to mirror their behavior and go cold?” In today's Rewind episode, I walk you through what you must absolutely NOT DO in this hot and cold scenario . . . plus I give you two very specific text messages that can (finally!) get you out of this frustrating situation. --- ►► Transform Your Relationship With Life Learn More About the Matthew Hussey Retreat at . . . → http://www.MHRetreat.com ►► Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com ►► Ask Matthew AI Your Biggest Dating Question for Free Now at. . . → http://www.AskMH.com
