What happens to an inheritance when a beneficiary is accused of killing the person who left it to them? In this replay episode of Celebrity Estates, revisit Senior Editor David Lenok's conversation with Sean Weissbart, partner and co-chair of the Tax Benefits and Private Client Practice Group at Blank Rome, examining the estate planning issues surrounding Rob Reiner's estate. David and Sean explore how slayer statutes function, why probate courts can rely on civil standards rather than criminal convictions, and how intent and mental state may influence inheritance outcomes. Sean explains how being treated as predeceased can redirect assets, how an insanity defense may affect eligibility to inherit, and why simultaneous death rules and community property laws matter when spouses die close in time. Revisit this conversation with David Lenok and Sean Weissbart for a closer look at the estate planning lessons behind rare legal scenarios and why thoughtful planning matters when the unexpected occurs. Key takeaways: How slayer statutes prevent financial benefit after intentional and felonious killing Why civil standards of proof differ from criminal convictions in estate matters How predeceased treatment redirects inheritances to alternate beneficiaries The role of insanity defenses, trusts, and fiduciaries in inheritance outcomes Why simultaneous death provisions and planning details can reshape asset flow Resources: Listen to Celebrity Estates on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to Celebrity Estates on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to Celebrity Estates on Spotify Trust and Estates Magazine Connect With David Lenok: david.lenok@informa.com  Wealth Management LinkedIn: David Lenok LinkedIn: Informa LinkedIn: Wealth Management Connect With Sean Weissbart: LinkedIn: Sean Weissbart LinkedIn: Blank Rome Website: Blank Rome About Our Guest: As one of the most regarded millennial estate planners in the country, Sean plays an integral role in the lives of his clients, working together to create legacies that are tax-efficient and responsive to the unique needs of each family.

The so-called “Cockroach” protests that erupted in India this past July grew quickly, gathering around them a number of different activist groups and individuals from various walks of life. These protests were met with tremendous state repression and censorship. Today we speak with Raaz and Sarthak, two student activists and organizers from Delhi, about the broad background to the struggles for education and a decent life, and how the fight has grown to encompass broad sectors of Indian society. Despite the attempts of the State and mainstream media to disappear these protests from the global mediascape, we learn how and why the protests and organizing has continued unabated, and what some of the key goals are.  Along with Raaz and Sarthak, we are joined once more by Suchitra Vijayan, director of the Polis Project and seasoned activist and journalist, who was also there as the protests unfolded.Raaz is a writer-researcher and independent journalist, currently pursuing their LL.B. from Delhi University, India. They are curious about different experiments in anti-fascist resistance, with a special interest in stories of criminalisation, gender, and people's movements.

Netflix's new reality show based on the infamous Stanford prison experiment is being met with controversy. The original psychological experiment had to be abandoned prematurely because of the harm it was causing participants. So why is Netflix releasing a reality series based on a troubling psychological experiment? And what could it tell us about what makes people abuse authority? We speak with Jay Van Bavel, Professor of Psychology at New York University and the author of The Power of Us, plus Andy Dehnart, a TV critic, and founder of Reality Blurred.

From Lab to Startup: How Technology Is Changing the Future of Healthcare With Chris Yoo of Xcellerant Ventures AZ TRT S07 EP16 (298) 9-20/2027 What  We Learned This Week A Startup Is More Than an Idea A great idea is only the starting point. Investors also look at the founder, team, execution, market, technology and ability to adapt. Idea → Team → Execution → Business New Jetstream Fund for the average Investor. Venture Capital Is About De-Risking Early-stage investing isn't about eliminating uncertainty. It's about progressively reducing it. Research creates information. Information creates validation. Validation reduces risk. Technology Is Compressing the Timeline of Healthcare Innovation Genomics, sequencing, AI and computing are allowing researchers to perform certain processes dramatically faster and cheaper than in the past. That creates opportunities to move discoveries from the laboratory toward actual medical applications. Arizona Has a Growing Technology-to-Enterprise Pipeline Arizona's technology ecosystem isn't just startups. It includes: Universities → Research → IP → Entrepreneurs → Capital → Companies → Commercialization The universities and research institutions are important pieces of that pipeline. The Next Healthcare Revolution May Come From Data The conversation around genomics, eye scans, AI and precision medicine points toward a broader change: The human body is becoming a source of increasingly usable data. The opportunity is to turn that data into better diagnosis, more personalized treatment and potentially earlier prevention.     AZ Tech Show Notes — Chris Yoo, Xcellerant Ventures September 2026 Guest: Chris Yoo, PhD Organization: Xcellerant Ventures Website: https://www.xcellerantventures.com/ Jetstream Fund: https://www.jvf.vc/ WHY VENTURE CAPITAL? Venture capital is where tomorrow's wealth is created. For decades, venture capital has been among the strongest-performing asset classes for long-term investors. Invest in Tomorrow's Transformation   Xcellerant Ventures is a venture capital company that invests in technologies that power the future of healthcare by providing solutions that improve quality, efficiency, access, and delivery of care at lowered costs.   We lead with a people first philosophy. When we put our knowledge, power, and experience into people, we empower entrepreneurs to change the world for the better.   Bio Dr. Chris Yoo is not only a successful entrepreneur; he's an innovative visionary within the healthcare and life science startup ecosystem. With over 25 years of experience, Chris is building companies and the very foundation upon which future breakthroughs are made. Chris accomplishes this through his unique blend of scientific expertise, entrepreneurial acumen, and a deep commitment to fostering collaborative ecosystems.   As a serial entrepreneur, Chris consistently bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and impactful solutions. From co-founding Systems Imagination, a pioneer in AI for drug discovery, to shaping the future of cancer treatment with Systems Oncology, his ventures consistently champion disruptive technologies. Beyond these ventures, Chris' track record speaks volumes. He successfully founded and exited ventures including MedTrust Online, the world's first online cancer doctor community, TransMed Partners, the first boutique consultancy for translational medicine, and LabBook, the pioneering electronic lab notebook. His ability to not only identify these innovations but also shepherd them towards successful application solidifies Chris' position as a leader at the forefront of the bioscience revolution.   Partners:   John Shufeldt, MD, JD, MBA, FACEP General Partner ·         BA, Sociology and Criminology: Drake University ·         MD: The Rosalind Franklin School of Medicine & Science ·         MBA, JD, & Six Sigma Black Belt: Arizona State University ·         Certificate in Entrepreneurism and Innovation: Harvard ·         Certificate in AI: Massachusetts Institute of Technology   Douglas (Doug) Sylvester, JD, LLM General Partner ·         BA, University of Toronto ·         JD, University of Buffalo School of Law ·         LLM, New York University School of Law   Michael Shufeldt, MBA General Partner ·         BS, International/Global Studies, University of Arizona ·         MBA, Arizona State University   Focus: Technology, healthcare, life sciences, biotech, startups and early-stage investing Episode Overview Chris Yoo brings a unique perspective to the Arizona technology ecosystem, combining a background in cell biology and healthcare with venture capital and startup investing. With a PhD in cell biology from Yale, Chris has spent much of his career thinking about fundamental questions in medicine: Why do people get diseases? How can we diagnose them? And how can we develop better treatments? Today, through Xcellerant Ventures and the Jetstream Fund, he works with founders developing technologies in healthcare, life sciences, biotech and other emerging technology sectors. A major theme throughout the conversation was de-risking — taking something that is unknown and making it less unknown through research, data, testing, execution and commercialization.   Segment 1 — What Makes a Startup Investable? Startup ≠ Just a Great Idea A startup begins with an idea, but venture investors aren't simply investing in ideas. They are evaluating: The founder The team The market The technology The ability to execute The company's strategy The company's ability to adapt Chris emphasized the importance of the founder/funder relationship. The founder may have the original vision, but the company will evolve considerably as it moves from an idea toward a real business. Founder vs. Idea Chris is less concerned about whether a company has: One founder, or A founding team What matters is whether the people involved have clearly defined roles and responsibilities and whether those roles fit their individual strengths. A startup eventually needs expertise in areas such as: Engineering Sales Marketing Operations Product development Finance Those needs change as the company grows. The Founder's Dilemma One of the challenges for founders is recognizing that the company changes as it grows. The person who is perfect for getting a company from zero to one may not necessarily be the person who should manage every function when the company becomes much larger. The company needs to evolve. Different Stages Require Different Capital Chris discussed the distinction between different stages of startup funding. For example: Pre-seed → Seed → Early Growth → Later Stage And there is an important distinction between: Pre-revenue and pre-seed. A company can be extremely early while still having different levels of valuation, technology development and market evidence. De-Risking One of the most important venture capital concepts from the conversation: De-risking means making unknowns less unknown. Investors don't expect every question to be answered at the beginning. Instead, they want to see progress: Unknown → Research → Data → Validation → Commercialization Each stage provides more information and reduces uncertainty. Segment 2 — From Cell Biology to Technology Chris's background starts in healthcare and life sciences. He earned his PhD in Cell Biology from Yale, studying fundamental questions around disease: Why do diseases happen? How can they be diagnosed? How can they be treated? That scientific background influences how he approaches startups today. Think Critically About Problems A recurring theme was the importance of thinking critically about the actual problem before jumping to the solution. Technology creates new possibilities, but the technology still has to solve a meaningful problem. Technology Has Accelerated Healthcare The growth of computing, data, genomics and sequencing has dramatically accelerated life-science research. Processes that once took: Months Millions of dollars $ Large teams can now sometimes be completed in: Days At dramatically lower costs With significantly more data Genomic sequencing is one example. The cost and speed of sequencing have changed dramatically over the past several decades. Technology + Life Sciences Chris sees enormous potential where technology intersects with biology. Examples include: Genomics Gene sequencing Artificial intelligence Cell therapies Data analysis Precision medicine Drug development The goal isn't technology for technology's sake. The goal is ultimately to translate technology into medicine. From General Treatment to Personalized Treatment One of the biggest possibilities is moving toward treatments that are increasingly tailored to the individual patient. Instead of simply asking: "What drug treats this disease?" the question becomes: "What treatment is most appropriate for this particular patient?" That shift could fundamentally change medicine. Segment 3 — Arizona's Technology & Life Sciences Ecosystem Xcellerant Ventures focuses heavily on Arizona companies, particularly in: Healthcare Life sciences Biotechnology Technology Military/defense applications Dual-use technologies The Xcellerant team brings multiple areas of expertise to the table. Chris has the scientific background, while partners bring expertise in areas such as medicine and intellectual property. More Than Just Money A venture investor can provide founders with more than capital. They can bring: Industry knowledge Scientific expertise Operating experience Networks Business models Strategic guidance Commercialization expertise The objective is to help founders move from technology to enterprise. Arizona's Ecosystem Chris emphasized that Arizona has a much larger technology and life-sciences ecosystem than many people realize. Universities and research institutions play an important role. Organizations and institutions mentioned during the conversation included: Arizona State University University of Arizona ASU's medical programs Grand Canyon University University technology commercialization programs UA Tech Launch GC Ventures The Flinn Foundation Universities serve as important sources of: Research → Innovation → Intellectual Property → Companies An Example: Eye Technology Chris discussed Mu Medical, a Minnesota company developing a highly precise eye-drop delivery device called the NanoDropper. The company is led by a medical doctor, Elisa Song, and has a small founding team. Website: https://www.mumedical.com/   The broader opportunity involves oculomics — using information from the eye to learn more about a person's overall health. The eye can potentially provide biological information that extends well beyond traditional eye diseases. Segment 4 — The Eye as a Window Into Health One of the most interesting concepts discussed was the growing ability to use eye scans and imaging data to identify patterns associated with broader health conditions. Think about the progression: Eye image → Data → Pattern recognition → AI → Diagnosis/Prediction → Treatment/Prevention The opportunity goes beyond traditional eye conditions such as glaucoma. Chris compared the growing understanding of eye health with what we've learned about: Dental health Sleep Heart health Overall wellness The larger idea is that different parts of the body can provide data about the health of the entire system. Genomics and Oculomics Genomics looks at information contained in our genes. Oculomics looks at information contained in the eye. Both represent a broader movement toward using biological data to better understand individual health. Jetstream Fund — Opening Early-Stage Investing Chris also discussed the Jetstream Fund, which is designed to give investors access to early-stage technology investing with smaller investment amounts. Traditional venture capital funds generally have: General Partners (GPs) who manage the fund and Limited Partners (LPs) who provide capital. The Jetstream approach allows investors to participate with smaller checks, potentially around $5,000–$25,000, rather than requiring the much larger commitments often associated with traditional venture capital. The concept is to bring more investors into the early-stage technology ecosystem. The broader investment thesis involves finding technology that has already demonstrated meaningful development and helping companies commercialize that technology.     Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech-Startup-VC-Cybersecurity-Energy-Science  Best of Tech: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=best+of+tech   'Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

Many Americans are losing faith in elections. Proposed solutions from across the political spectrum to restore faith in the process — early voting, mail-in ballot restrictions and voter ID laws — seem to have the opposite effect.But lack of trust in elections is a symptom of a broader problem: America is living through an era of democratic dissatisfaction. That's what the New York University law professor Richard Pildes argues on this episode of “Interesting Times.” He and the guest host, Sarah Isgur, the editor of SCOTUSblog, discuss why Americans are so worried about the midterms and how to fix our electoral system and restore trust.00:00 Existential Election Anxiety02:38 Era of Democratic Dissatisfaction04:21 Were Recent Election Reforms a Mistake?06:09 Campaign Finance Reform09:22 SCOTUS and Trump's Mail-In Ballot Executive Order13:57 Why Did Trump Target Absentee Ballots?20:32 Should There Be a National Voter Database?23:58 Proof Of Citizenship Debate29:48 What Should SCOTUS Do?35:47 Partisan Manipulation in Elections42:24 Can the Midterms Be Stolen?44:51 Closing Thoughts(A full transcript of this episode is available on the Times website.)Thoughts?

Slushies! We're delighted to have our own Marion Wrenn back at the table, throwing thumbs yea or nay. And Karen Hildebrand had so much fun discussing summer reads in our last episode, she decided to join us for another show (we welcome her back with only minor hazing). Today we're discussing two poems by K. Hari. The first, “Rage Yoga After Roe”, gets us thinking about female spaces and friendships. We discuss what kind of poems can stand-alone and which ones are best in a manuscript when other poems can inform their narrative.   The second poem, “Proof of Relationship”, digs deep into multiple layers of memory in relation to what is and isn't evident in a photograph. What does it mean when a couple must perform their relationship in order to prove it in an official capacity? The theme of governmental intrusion into one's personal life in the form of immigration interviews resonates with the team. Our New Yorkers recognize certain landmarks mentioned in the poem, including the Vessel in Hudson Yards. And Jason gives it to us straight —New Yorkers ARE judging your fashion choices. We end with our terrible memories of the utter despair of Zoom dance parties. Thanks, as always, for listening.   At the table: Karen Hildebrand, Samantha Neugebauer, Jason Schneiderman, Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Lisa Zerkle, Derek Grebis (sound engineer)     Author Bio: K.

Leather is often marketed as a natural, durable, and sustainable material. But what if the story behind your leather jacket or handbag is much more complicated?In this episode of The Lexy Show, Lexy sits down with Matthew Hayek, Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies at New York University, whose research examines the environmental impacts of food systems, animal agriculture, and the materials we use every day.Matthew explains how his work studying cattle emissions led him to investigate leather's role in the fashion industry and why leather has largely escaped the same climate conversations surrounding beef. He breaks down what the “leather is just a byproduct” argument gets wrong, how researchers calculate the environmental footprint of animal-based materials, and why leather's impact can vary dramatically depending on where and how it is produced.The conversation also explores what consumers can realistically do without feeling overwhelmed, including why repairing what you already own, buying fewer items, and asking brands for more transparency may matter more than chasing perfection. Matthew shares why transparency alone is not enough and why the fashion industry needs bigger changes in how materials are sourced and produced.If you've ever wondered about the true environmental impact of leather, sustainable materials, or how your closet connects to climate change, this episode will change the way you think about what you wear.Subscribe to The Lexy Show and follow along for more conversations about fashion, sustainability, and the choices behind the clothes we buy.Social Media:Matthew HayekInstagram: @enviromattLinkedIn: Matthew Hayek (NYU)The Lexy ShowInstagram/TikTok/YouTube: @LexySilversteinIf you enjoyed this conversation, be sure to subscribe to The Lexy Show, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who's ready to make more mindful choices for themselves and the planet.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Caribbean people know all too well that the story of migration doesn't end at the border. Dr. Tyesha Maddox, Associate Professor at Fordham University, joins us for a conversation about the history of Caribbean mutual aid societies and benevolent associations that help communities upon their arrival in the US. We dig into what mutual aid actually means in Caribbean migration history: not charity, not a top-down savior model, but an egalitarian system where members build solutions together. Dr. Maddox connects Caribbean American mutual aid societies in New York to earlier Caribbean friendly societies after emancipation and to West African traditions of collective care. We talk burial and funeral funds as a dignified corrective to slavery's violence, support during illness and injury that looks like early workers' comp, and even maternity benefits that were well ahead of their time. We also get into susu and padna style rotating savings, and why trust is the real currency behind these networks.Then we zoom out to the social and political power of these groups. They throw parties, organize trips, teach culture to children through auxiliaries, and help people become Caribbean in the diaspora, sometimes for the first time. We also place these organizations inside the New York landscape of Harlem, Garveyism, and Black political organizing, where Caribbean immigrants help shape the world many of us now take for granted. If you care about Caribbean diaspora community, Black history, New York history, or mutual aid today, this conversation offers a blueprint worth revisiting.

This week, we remember the life of writer, poet, farmer, and environmentalist Wendell Berry, by listening back to a 2010 conversation with fellow writer and activist Michael Pollan. Berry was of America's most influential voices on agriculture and the environment, and he wrote with a calm and compelling vision about our relationship with the land, our work, and our communities. Among his best-known books: The Unsettling of America, What Are People For?, and The Peace of Wild Things.After studying at the University of Kentucky and Stanford, and teaching at New York University, Berry returned to his native Henry County, Kentucky in the 1960s. There, he and his wife, Tanya, began farming. Berry spent the rest of his life in Kentucky,  farming and writing poems, novels, and essays about tending the land, about community, and the costs of an increasingly industrialized society. Berry was also an activist, protesting the Vietnam War, mountaintop-removal coal mining, and nuclear power, and he inspired generations of environmentalists, farmers, food activists, and writers. Berry died on August 31, 2026, at his home in Port Royal, Kentucky. He was 92.

Kenji Yoshino, Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law at New York University School of Law and a member of Meta's Oversight Board, joins Kevin Frazier, director of the AI Innovation and Law Program at the University of Texas School of Law, and guest co-host Kate Klonick to discuss what frontier AI companies can learn from the Oversight Board. Yoshino recently co-authored a Tech Policy Press piece with fellow Board member Ronaldo Lemos arguing that meaningful AI oversight should feature independent and representative overseers, external standards, and transparent, reasoned decisions.The trio tests that proposal against some of the hardest questions raised by the Oversight Board's own experience. Can a selective, precedent-setting institution provide meaningful oversight at AI scale? What gives a privately created board legitimacy to constrain decisions with global consequences? What powers would an AI oversight body actually need? And when does private oversight complement democratic regulation—and when might it merely give corporate power a new source of legitimacy?Here's the Tech Policy Press piece. Hosted on Acast.

Socialism sounds good in theory — but what does it look like in practice? From centralized economic policies to government control over markets and private enterprise, our guest today explores the real-world consequences of nations that have experimented with socialism — and the promises compared to the results.

While many believe striving for perfection is a fool's errand, in this week's episode both of our storytellers chase it anyway.Part 1: Weiji Ma grapples with the pressure of living up to his child prodigy reputation as he grows older. Part 2: Chia Lin's meticulously structured life is upended by a chance encounter with a swarm of bees outside her lab. Weiji Ma received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, but ended up strongly disliking working in Physics. He did postdocs in computational neuroscience at Caltech and the University of Rochester, but then realized he cared much more about measuring human behavior. He became faculty in 2008 (in Houston, TX) and moved to New York University in 2013, where he is now professor of neuroscience and psychology. His research has covered many areas, including visual decision-making, multisensory perception, visual working memory, metacognition, multi-step planning, problem-solving, mindsets, and procrastination. Nevertheless, it hasn't helped him make better decisions or reduce his own procrastination.Dr. Chia Lin is a Research Scientist at the Rothenbuhler Honey Bee Research Lab in Columbus, Ohio. Originally from Taiwan, she moved to the United States in 2003 to study pollination ecology. Her beekeeping journey began in 2013 when she joined the Department of Entomology at The Ohio State University as a postdoctoral researcher. Her current research focuses on developing farm management strategies to enhance pollinator health and improve crop productivity. During the summer months, she manages over 100 honey bee colonies to support various research projects across Ohio. In addition to her scientific work, Chia is a kindergarten teacher at the Columbus Chinese Academy. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys crocheting, building with Legos, and spending time with her family and two cats.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For today's undergraduates, the impact of artificial intelligence on the jobs market means massive job uncertainty. So how should young people prepare themselves for the unknown unknowns of a career in the age of AI? "The uncertainty will be overwhelming for a fraction of them, but I think for a fraction of them they will look back in 10 years and say this was a period of such great opportunity," says Arun Sundararajan, a professor of entrepreneurship, technology operations and statistics at New York University's Stern School of Business. This episode was co-produced with China's CGTN and co-hosted by Xin Guan, CGTN anchor and chief business news editor.

Thomas Kennon is a professor at New York University, longtime strategist, and author with his latest book The Bigger Leap: An Ethics of NextCapitalism. He has spent decades studying audiences, strategy, and what makes people actually do what they do.But the deeper his work went, the bigger the question became.What if the problem in business isn't that we lack insight, but that we keep using better insight to optimize for the same old outcomes?In this conversation, Thom and Chris explore the ethics behind how businesses understand and influence people. They move through the difference between growth and thriving, fairness and kindness, community and extraction, and trust and fear. They talk about whether love belongs in business, why sophisticated research still requires human interpretation, and what happens as AI becomes increasingly capable of finding patterns in human behavior.The question running underneath it all is simple, even if the answer isn't.If we understand people better than ever, what responsibility comes with that understanding?And when the models get smarter, what still belongs to us?The special humans making this possibleChris Marine, Host Thomas Kennon, Guest  Pip Kolmar, ProducerCaili Elwell (Just a Girl Productions), Producer Cover Art Illustrated by NaretivSong, “Under The Night Sky” by Kevin MatleyThe Responsibly Different™ Podcast was inspired by the original producer/host Benn Marine of The Rising Kind.And to David Gogel, Kelly Gadsby, Aidan Clark, Shea Hendricks, and the entire team at Campfire, along with the clients who trust us with their work, thank you.

The First Amendment is only 45 words long. But more than 200 years and thousands of court decisions later, we're still arguing over a basic question: what do those words mean — and what did they mean to the early Americans who adopted them?

What does a cereal box actually tell you? A lot more than you'd think. On this episode, Gregg Goldfarb is joined by Lisa Sutherland, who spent years running nutrition strategy inside Kellogg, and Marion Nestle, one of the country's most well-known food policy critics, to unpack their new book, Sugarcoated. The two co-authors met almost two decades ago when Nestle got rare access to Kellogg's archive: every piece of cereal packaging the company had ever created, dating back to 1919. What they found sitting in that library became the foundation for a book that traces American food policy, marketing tactics, and health claims through the lens of the cereal aisle. The conversation digs into how sugar content in cereal has changed since Sutherland's time at Kellogg, why the toys that consumer advocates once got pulled from cereal boxes are quietly making a comeback, and how the FDA and watchdog groups have spent decades battling cereal makers over health claims that cross the line. Nestle and Sutherland don't paint food companies as villains — they're businesses answering to shareholders every quarter — but they make clear that understanding that incentive is the key to understanding everything on the shelf. Gregg also gets both authors' take on whether today's political moment, with food additives and health claims under new scrutiny, is a real opportunity for change or just more noise.   Join Gregg Goldfarb, Marion Nestle and Lisa Sutherland on Climate Change Environment Science & the Law as they explore: Why cereal boxes are a surprisingly rich record of American food policy history  How sugar content in cereal has actually changed since the 1990s — and how much  What life was like inside Kellogg's nutrition division, from label claims to ad strategy  Why the toys that were pulled from cereal boxes years ago are showing up again  How the FDA and consumer advocacy groups have repeatedly challenged cereal health claims  Why "healthier" products don't always win shelf space, even when companies want them to  What it actually takes to write a book with a co-author — and find a literary agent  Which cereals actually hold up as healthier choices, according to a nutrition PhD   TIME STAMPS  0:00 – The Open 0:17 – The Cereal Box as Sophisticated Advertising 1:40 – Why Sugarcoated, Why Now 2:39 – A Century of Cereal Boxes Reveal Food Policy History 5:53 – "They Want to Get Kids Hooked" — Toys Are Back 7:03 – Profit, Market Share, and the Cheerios Takeover 9:18 – Is This False Advertising? 11:57 – "That's the Issue" — The Real Incentive Behind Big Cereal 13:59 – The Michelle Obama White House Story 15:43 – What Readers Will Get From the Book 21:47 – The Healthiest Cereals, According to a Nutrition PhD 22:45 – Release Date & Sign-Off   Lisa Sutherland, PhD, is a public health–trained nutrition scientist and the former Vice President of Nutrition at Kellogg Company.

Between 1215 and 1211 BCE, Egypt was divided. A rebellion in the south, launched by Amen-messe "Born of Amun" disrupted the succession of Sety II, son of Merneptah. Records from this shadowy period hint at violence and corruption in Waset/Luxor, as the usurper took control and established a new regime. The impact of this conflict would have long-lasting ramifications for the 19th Dynasty... Music: Luke Chaos. Logo: An unnamed statue head from Karnak, probably depicting Sety II or Amenmesse (Metropolitan Museum of Art, public domain). Was Amenmesse the Viceroy Messuy? Below are scenes from Amada in Nubia, where Messuy carved scenes of himself before royal cartouches. Prof. Aidan Dodson suggests that the Viceroy has cobra/uraei on his forehead, though other scholars suggest this is mere weathering. What do you think?

Social identity, or how the portion of our identity we derive from participating in our social groups can expand our mind or limit our ability to embrace complexity and nuance. Why should this matter to someone who has never joined a cult? Because every one of us moves through families, workplaces, political communities, faiths, fandoms, and online networks. We are constantly being influenced, day in and day out, by every single person we meet.Social identity belongs at the center of a conversation about freedom of mind, connecting the intimate pressure to fit in with the public systems that reward some voices while punishing others.That tension guided my conversation with Jay Van Bavel, author of The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation and Promote Social Harmony. He is a professor of social psychology and director of the Center for Conflict and Cooperation at New York University. The Power of Us explores how we experience the world and what shapes our perception day to day. It asks why disagreeing with others has become so difficult, and what has driven such a rise in hostility. But understanding is a key to navigating the polarization America and other countries are experiencing.

Terrorism in American Memory argues that the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and all that followed in its wake were the primary force shaping United States politics and culture in the post-9/11 era. Marita Sturken maintains that during the past two decades, when the country was subjected to terrorist attacks and promulgated ongoing wars of aggression, we have veered into increasingly polarized factions and been extraordinarily preoccupied with memorialization and the politics of memory. The post-9/11 era began with a hunger for memorialization and it ended with massive protests over police brutality that demanded the destruction of historical monuments honoring racist historical figures. Terrorism in American Memory: Memorials, Museums, and Architecture in the Post-9/11 Era (NYU Press, 2022) sheds light on the struggles over who is memorialized, who is forgotten, and what that politics of memory reveals about the United States as an imaginary and a nation.

In 1984, Paul Simon was at a professional and personal crossroads. His new marriage was failing and his career was in danger of stalling. He was forty-two, navigating a digital age, searching for inspiration in a scene driven by music videos, synthesizers, and drum machines.Driving around that summer, a bootleg cassette of “township jive”—the street music of South Africa—kept him company. Lent to him by a friend, it reminded Simon of the sound and the joy of the early days of rock and roll. He began to invent his own lyrics to the groove, and became drawn to the idea of recording with the musicians on that tape. But South Africa was in the thrall of a racist apartheid system, and with economic and cultural boycotts in place, such an undertaking was risky. He grew determined to find the right conditions to allow for a collaboration.Simon took a fateful trip to Johannesburg in 1985. It would turn out to be the first step on a musical journey that would lead him to New York, Los Angeles, Louisiana, and London, and eventually to the release of Graceland, a critical and commercial triumph, winning multiple Grammys, selling 16 million records, and spawning a five-year, worldwide tour.Days of Miracle and Wonder: Paul Simon and the Trials and Triumphs of Graceland (Atria Books, 2026) is the first book to tell the full story of Graceland, offering windows into Simon's creative process, the technical innovations that brought his songs to life, the people and places that made the album possible, the forces that helped the album achieve mainstream reach, and the controversies that the music raised—and which remain today. It sheds light on a period when America opened its doors to the sounds and styles of Africa and other faraway lands.This is an informed, heartfelt celebration of Simon's magnum opus, a recording forged in a tense cultural moment, but suffused with hope, change, and a sense of global connection.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's fight over Muslim wudu stations at Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth airports opens into a much larger question: who gets protected by religious liberty in America?Washington Post religion reporter Michelle Boorstein joins Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram to explain why facilities that existed for years suddenly became a political target, how legal experts view Abbott's First Amendment argument, and how the dispute fits into a broader pattern of anti-Muslim rhetoric in Texas. The conversation moves from Employment Division v. Smith and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to Kennedy v. Bremerton, the decline of the Lemon test, Ten Commandments laws, school vouchers, Christian nationalism, and the changing meaning of church-state separation.Boorstein also explains why religious liberty becomes complicated in a pluralistic country and why some of the next major constitutional fights may center on the Establishment Clause.Texas Gov.

The Truth About Supplements, Longevity & What You're Really Putting in Your Body | Carl Pradelli The supplement industry is filled with massive promises. More energy. Better sleep. Sharper thinking. Less inflammation. Slower aging. A longer life. But how much of it is actually backed by science—and how much is simply great marketing? In this episode of Everything Is Personal, Len May sits down with Carl Pradelli, Co-Founder and CEO of NatureCity, for a candid conversation about the business and science of nutritional supplements, longevity, healthy aging, consumer trust, and what people should really understand before deciding what to put into their bodies. Carl and his wife Beth co-founded NatureCity in 2002 with a simple idea: create supplements they would actually feel comfortable taking themselves and giving to their families. More than two decades later, Carl has built an extensive network of scientists, ingredient suppliers and manufacturers while overseeing product development and digging deeply into the research behind nutritional ingredients. And that experience has taught him something important: The biggest number on the label doesn't necessarily mean the best product. The newest ingredient isn't automatically the most effective. And “longevity” on a bottle doesn't mean it's going to help you live longer. Carl and Len go inside an industry that consumers often find confusing and overwhelming. They discuss how supplement companies choose ingredients, why formulation and sourcing matter, what separates meaningful human research from marketing claims, and why dosage alone can be misleading. Carl explains how factors such as ingredient quality, standardization, absorption and delivery can matter just as much—or more—than the milligram number printed on a bottle. The conversation also tackles one of the hottest topics in health today: longevity. Everyone seems to be looking for the next molecule, compound or biohack that could extend lifespan. Carl takes a more grounded view. Healthy aging isn't about finding one miracle supplement. It involves multiple interconnected systems—including cardiovascular health, brain health, metabolic function, oxidative stress, inflammation, immune function, nutrition, movement and lifestyle. That leads to a bigger question: Are we spending too much money chasing the newest longevity trend while ignoring the fundamentals that have decades of evidence behind them? Carl and Len also explore the responsibility that comes with selling products people use to improve their health. NatureCity has built its current positioning around ingredients supported by scientific research, transparency around formulations, and a company philosophy Carl describes simply: “If we won't take it, we don't make it.” But the conversation doesn't stop at products. This is also the story of entrepreneurship. Carl talks about building NatureCity from the ground up, working alongside his wife, navigating more than two decades of change in the wellness industry, and learning how to balance scientific evidence, business realities, consumer expectations and personal responsibility. Len and Carl get into the uncomfortable questions too. How do consumers know whom to trust? When does wellness marketing cross the line? How much evidence should exist before a company makes a health claim? Does expensive necessarily mean better? Are trendy longevity supplements actually worth the money? And when the science changes, should companies be willing to change their position too? Carl's own experience offers an interesting perspective because he has watched the supplement industry evolve from something relatively niche into a massive part of mainstream health and wellness culture. Today, consumers have access to thousands of products and an endless stream of health advice from podcasts, influencers, physicians, biohackers and social media. More information should make choosing easier. Instead, it often makes it harder. This episode is ultimately about becoming a more educated consumer—and understanding that your health is too personal to outsource entirely to a label, an advertisement or the latest trend. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Bigger doses do not automatically mean better supplements. • Ingredient quality, sourcing, standardization and absorption can matter as much as dosage. • Published human research is an important part of evaluating nutritional ingredients. • Longevity is unlikely to come from one miracle molecule or supplement. • Healthy aging depends on multiple interconnected biological and lifestyle factors. • Expensive or trendy longevity products are not automatically superior to established nutrients. • Consumers should understand what is actually inside a supplement—not just what appears on the front of the bottle. • Marketing claims and scientific evidence are not the same thing. • Transparency is essential when companies are asking people to trust them with their health. • Entrepreneurs in wellness have a responsibility to evolve as the science evolves. • Supplements can support health, but they are only one part of a much larger picture. • Building a successful health company requires balancing science, business, ethics and consumer trust. • The more personalized health becomes, the more important informed decision-making becomes. ABOUT CARL PRADELLI Carl Pradelli is the Co-Founder and CEO of NatureCity, a nutritional supplement company he founded with his wife Beth in 2002. Carl leads NatureCity's product development and has spent more than two decades building relationships with scientists, ingredient suppliers and manufacturers. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from New York University and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He also hosts The NatureCity Podcast, where he breaks down research surrounding supplements, nutrition and healthy aging and challenges some of the assumptions consumers make about dosage, ingredients and longevity products. If you take supplements, care about longevity, spend money on wellness—or simply want to become harder to fool by health marketing—this conversation is worth hearing. Because when it comes to your health, everything is personal.

Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist and professor at New York University. In this conversation, he focuses particularly on the impact of smartphones and social media on children and teenagers. Haidt examines the decline in sustained attention, problematic use of digital platforms, anxiety, depression, and the shift of much of social life into digital environments. In 2024, he published The Anxious Generation, a book that has helped fuel an international movement to change norms around childhood and technology. He also introduces The Amazing Generation, aimed at children aged 8 to 13.

The idea of civility goes back to classical Rome and the ways in which citizens engaged one another within the republic. The term itself is often used in a number of different ways, reflecting expected behavior, particularly in public spaces, and as a mechanism to manage human interaction. But civility and the use of this idea often shape hierarchical relationships within society and within politics and may define who is to be included within the polis and who may be excluded. Thus, the conversations that led to the new book, Civility Unbound: Contesting a Democratic Value, interrogated the idea of civility in many of its facets and did not necessarily settle on a simple definition or means of implementing civility within contemporary society. Michael DiNiscia, Director of Research and Strategic Initiatives at New York University's Brademas Center, and Ellyn Toscano, Director of the Hawthorndon Foundation, edited this valuable exploration of the idea of civility within democracy. In so doing, they brought together academics, politicians and former politicians, activists, artists, and individuals from the foundation world to discuss this controversial idea of civility, unpacking the term, the way it is used, and how society may consider civility within the realm of politics and public life. I had the pleasure of discussing Civility Unbound with Michael DiNiscia and Hussein Rashid, one of the contributing authors. Our conversation covered the content of the book, tracing the sections that include philosophy and political theory, democratic institutions and politics, social justice and protest, media engagement, and lessons from arts and culture. The chapters are fascinating and accessible. As a reader, you feel as though you are part of the ongoing conversation with the various authors, since the chapters are in dialogue with each other and with the reader, without coming to a consensus on the role and capacity of civility within democratic society but with many paths to consider. The impetus for this book, and for focusing on the idea of civility, grew out of the events of January 6, 2021, and an overarching question about whether the United States could return to a state of civility in our politics, after we had witnessed the violent insurrection that attempted to stymie the constitutional process of tallying Electoral College votes. Civility Unbound: Contesting a Democratic Value brings many voices together to, in a way, respond to this violence, this incivility that had been demonstrated by a group of American citizens. The various contributing authors to Civility Unbound take up the theory and practice of civility, trying to determine what it actually means and the rules around civility and political engagement. Across the chapters we find that there is a paradox around civility, around who is asked to “remain civil” and who gets to define what civility means. Civility may well reside within power relationships and dynamics, with rules applied to some groups or individuals and not to others. Invoking civility may well surface inequalities and the unequal places and footing of those engaging in politics and society. This is particularly important to consider in context of American democracy, and the unequal distribution of power and state violence inherent in the American state. Civility Unbound: Contesting a Democratic Value prompts the reader to consider how democratic engagement works and how we are to participate in attempts at self-rule.

Kenji Yoshino, Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law at New York University School of Law and a member of Meta's Oversight Board, joins Kevin Frazier, director of the AI Innovation and Law Program at the University of Texas School of Law and Senior Editor at Lawfare, and guest co-host Lawfare Senior Editor Kate Klonick, to discuss what frontier AI companies can learn from the Oversight Board. Yoshino recently co-authored a Tech Policy Press piece with fellow Board member Ronaldo Lemos arguing that meaningful AI oversight should feature independent and representative overseers, external standards, and transparent, reasoned decisions.The trio tests that proposal against some of the hardest questions raised by the Oversight Board's own experience. Can a selective, precedent-setting institution provide meaningful oversight at AI scale? What gives a privately created board legitimacy to constrain decisions with global consequences? What powers would an AI oversight body actually need? And when does private oversight complement democratic regulation—and when might it merely give corporate power a new source of legitimacy?Find Scaling Laws on the Lawfare website, and subscribe to never miss an episode.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

When I first laid eyes on a book with the title, SELF-HELP FROM THE MIDDLE AGES: What the Seven Deadly Sins Can Teach Us About Living, I interested myself. Even more when I found out the author is an expert in medieval times. Peter Jones is a writer and academic specializing in the history of the human heart. Over his career he has taught at New York University, the University of Toronto, University College London, Complutense University of Madrid, and School of Advanced Studies in Tyumen, Siberia, where he helped put History at the centre of the liberal arts curriculum. But this book is about something that started in the 1300s when I've now learned that the ultimate level of high education was theology with a focus to “create self-aware citizens” and the most prized roles had job descriptions that involved analyzing the triggers of temptation and desire, giving lectures on fear and doubt, and healing the anxieties of people in crisis. Sounds like what we need, now. Thus why I did this show. I thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from this conversation with Pete and learned how I can have a better relationship with these 7 Deadly Sins, which the originator described as, “generic thoughts,” or in essence, human impulses, which include: 1) Pride - vanity, 2) Envy, 3) Anger, 4) Sloth, 5) Avarice - Greed, 6) Gluttony, 7) Lust. Which you are about to find out are seen as aspects of being a human, and the point is not whether we engage with them. We do. It's what our relationship is with each. Or rather, how our relationship is with each. Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial.
