Wildfires, droughts, heat waves, floods. Climate demands our attention. The next global meeting on the crisis, Cop26, opens October 31st in Glasgow, Scotland. This week I speak with BILL McKIBBEN, author, co-founder of the global climate campaign 350.org, and a frequent contributor to the New Yorker, where he recently announced a shift of focus back to organizing – specifically of Boomers and the Silent Generation. Young people are engaged with climate but those over 60 are not yet delivering what the crisis demands of them, and he's co-founding an entity called Third Act dedicated to changing that.

Dave Schilling is a writer, a comic, a journalist, and will argue with you about whether he is actually the last two things. He writes for the New Yorker, and writes an amazing fashion column for the LA Times. He's also a James Bond expert and, between the two of us, knows who the NEXT ONE SHOULD BE! This ep was taped from a hotel room in Fort Worth, Texas and it made my day. THE CALLS: 1) A man asks, “How do you deal with a know-it-all?” 2) A second time caller (who formerly called in to ask if HE SHOULD ASK his friend to do a podcast with him) asks, “How do you get started with a podcast?” 3) MY PRODUCER RENE CALLED IN!!! Listen to hear what amazing problem he has. Enjoy! Thanks, Mightys. Call Matt and ask a question 323-763-0228 New episodes arrive every Thursday via The Laugh Button.

The United Kingdom officially withdrew from the European Union on January 31, 2020. On that day, the first cases of COVID-19 were officially confirmed in Britain. Like every other country, the U.K. has had trouble containing the pandemic—the economic devastation, the implementation of lockdowns, the distribution of vaccines. But it has had another challenge, as it tries to redefine its place in the international diplomatic order and in the global economy. All of this has come at a time of deep division in the country's politics: Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been accused of failing to address Brexit-related shortages of workers and supplies, and of mismanaging the government's response to the pandemic. And the Labour Party, under the leadership of Keir Starmer, has failed to mount a popular or effective opposition. Sam Knight, a New Yorker staff writer, joins Dorothy Wickenden to discuss how Brexit has affected conditions in the U.K., and the state of the Conservative and Labour Parties as the country faces a winter of food and fuel shortages.

He received his PhD from MIT and then moved to the Harvard Society of Fellows. Following eight years as a professor at Yale University, he was appointed as a full professor with an endowed chair while still in his thirties. During his career, he has held endowed professorships and distinguished research appointments at numerous institutions.

"Alle denken, Frauen sollten begeistert sein, wenn sie Krümel bekommen, aber ich will, dass sie den Kuchen, den Guss und die Kirsche obendrauf bekommen", sagte die ehemalige Weltklassetennisspielerin Billie Jean King einmal zur Debatte um Gleichberechtigung im Profisport. Ein Ziel, für das die US-Amerikanerin seit den Siebzigerjahren kämpft. Außer bei den Grand-Slam-Turnieren im Tennis ist das immer noch nicht erreicht. Und nun erschüttert ein Missbrauchsskandal die National Women's Soccer League. Zwei Trainer wurden entlassen, nachdem Spielerinnen sexuellen Missbrauch und emotionale Erpressung öffentlich gemacht hatten. Die Liga, die als progressiv gilt, in der aber nach wie vor überwiegend männliche Machtstrukturen dominieren, soll das über Jahre hinweg vertuscht haben. Über den Skandal diskutieren wir im US-Podcast. Und dann gibt es die großen Vier im US-Sport, die das große Geschäft machen: Football, Baseball, Basketball und Eishockey. Nach dem Jahr 2022 erhält allein die NFL, die Profiliga der Footballer, zehn Milliarden Dollar pro Jahr von den TV-Sendern für die Übertragungsrechte der Spiele. Wir sprechen außerdem über die Faszination des US-Sports, warum Collegesport so wichtig ist, erklären den Draft und wo es Gehaltsobergrenzen gibt, diskutieren die Magie von Spiel 7 im Basketball und warum Baseball live ein kulturelles Erlebnis ist, und spielen ein Spiel quer durch alle Sportarten mit Lieblingsathletinnen und -athleten und historischen Sportmomenten. Und im Get-out: Michael Lewis' "Moneyball" und die Buchverfilmung mit Brad Pitt, die Baseballgeschichten im "The New Yorker" von Roger Angell und der Film "A League of Their Own" mit Tom Hanks und Geena Davis. Der Podcast erscheint alle zwei Wochen donnerstags, die nächste Folge ausnahmsweise am 4. November. Sie erreichen uns per Mail an okamerica@zeit.de.

Imagine being so drawn to a pursuit as a kid, it consumes most of your waking hours, rapidly becomes your identity, and is the thing you believe you'll devote your life to, and then, in the blink of an eye, it's taken away. That's what happened to Maya Shankar, who fell in love with the violin as a small child, studied it with love and devotion, was being mentored by the legendary Itzhak Perlman, and was sure it would be her profession for life. Until, an injury took it all away in the blink of an eye. How that moment affected her, and how she'd eventually discover a new, equally fulfilling devotion years later - human behavior and cognitive science - is a big part of today's conversation, along with a deep dive into how we change our minds.Maya is currently the Senior Director of Behavioral Economics at Google and is the Creator, Host, and Executive Producer of “A Slight Change of Plans”, a podcast with Pushkin Industries. Maya previously served as a Senior Advisor in the Obama White House, where she founded and served as Chair of the White House's Behavioral Science Team — a team of scientists charged with improving public policy using research insights about human behavior. She has been profiled by the New Yorker and has been featured in the New York Times, Scientific American, Forbes, and on NPR's All Things Considered, Freakonomics, and Hidden Brain.

Uma série de ilustrações publicadas no Instagram da revista The New Yorker indicou que a forma que você deixa sua mesa de trabalho, diz mais sobre nós e nossos hábitos do que a gente imagina. Claro, o post era inocente, mas como toda brincadeira tem um fundo de verdade... No Braincast 428, Carlos Merigo, Ana Freitas, Luiz Hygino e Marko Mello mergulham em teorias científicas, crenças populares e perfis de loucos por organização nas redes sociais, para tentar entender como a forma que você se organiza para o trabalho afeta sua produtividade, criatividade, entrega - e até o nosso humor. _____ VOLVO O relatório "a ascensão do design consciente", em tradução livre, foi desenvolvido pela Volvo Cars em parceria com o The Future Laboratory. O relatório se baseia em dados e no pensamento de grandes líderes ao redor do mundo. E ajudou a Volvo a traçar o caminho para a eletrificação sustentável de todos os seus carros até 2030. As conclusões deste relatório refletem a visão da Volvo sobre o futuro dos materiais. Lembra do que eu disse aqui na semana passada?

Sam and Emma host New Yorker contributor Eyal Press to discuss his recent book Dirty Work: Essential Jobs and the Hidden Toll of Inequality in America, on the moral division of labor and the emotional burden of getting by for countless Americans. They start off with Everett Hughes' essay “Good People and Dirty Work” and how the unconscious mandate that faced the Germans under the Nazi regime was not only unique to that time or place, but that countless other places, the US most certainly included, have morally questionable state-sanctioned action taken beyond the public consciousness. Eyal explores how he took this concept into today's America, looking at positions such as corrections officers, slaughterhouse, and oil rig workers, as well as diving into the labor behind the US's drone program. After touching on the similarities and differences when it comes to policing, and the cultural support behind it, he, Emma, and Sam dive into the story of Harriet, a mental health worker in the Florida prison system, and the abuses of her patients that she had to see and hear under threat of retribution by the guards if she reported it, working up to the death of Darren Rainey in 2012. While nobody in power was punished, of course, Press looks towards Bill Curtis's analysis putting the fault, ultimately, on the Florida voters that elected Rick Scott and a government with a platform of expanding the prison population while cutting all funding for mental health. Next, they move to look inside both a poultry slaughterhouse and oil rigs, exploring how the distaste by society for labor that is absolutely necessary for it to function as it helps to obscure the horrifying conditions in which that labor takes place, exploring the meat processing industry's majority women of color and immigrant workforce and the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill which resulted in the deaths of 11 workers. Lastly, they go from the private to governmental sector as Eyal takes on the emotional turmoil of officers behind the US's Bipartisan drone program and pawning off of the gore and horror, disassociating it from the elite in power and the public eye. They wrap up the interview by discussing the central role American Capitalism and Imperialism play in this moral division of labor, and the ingrained nature of the exploitation of workers even onto the emotional level. Sam and Emma also touch on the incredible moment in labor organizing that we are currently in, before discussing the behind-the-scenes horrors facing school board members taking the brunt of the astroturf anti-mask movement. And in the Fun Half: Charlie Kirk gets just absolutely schooled by Ben Gleib on literally just knowing what a human is, a caller discusses VA Beach's inability to get its police under control to the point that it's affecting tourism, and Will from Cincinnati discusses the David Shor piece on popularism and the Democrats' multi decade-long commitment to not getting anything popular done. Laura Ingraham and Raymond Arroyo work to desexualize children's toys by making AIDS jokes, Chris from Mass takes on the cognitive dissonance in the hunting and conservationist communities, and Lauren Windsor asserts herself as one of the best intelligence agents that doesn't work for an oppressive regime, plus, your calls and IMs!

Our host, Amelie Andreas '24, speaks with Ethan Sandweiss '19 about his thesis on Afghanistan entitled "Highway to Hell: Afghanistan, America, and the Fragmented State." Since this episode concerned recent events, this interview focuses a little more on the content of the thesis, and a little less on the experience of writing the thesis, than our interviews usually do. It is also a little bit longer than than most episodes.

Daniel Alarcón On Spanish-Language Media Celebrated podcaster and writer Daniel Alarcón. Alarcón is the Executive Producer and host of NPR's Spanish language podcast Radio Ambulante. His podcast — which he started in 2012 — features a mix of investigative journalism and interviews, and covers a wide range of topics, from the refugee crisis in Venezuela to “killer bees” in Brazil. Alarcón is also a contributing writer at the New Yorker, a novelist, and he teaches at the Columbia Journalism School. His work dives deep into the social and cultural ties that connect Spanish-speaking populations across the United States and Central and South America. The Takeaway speaks to Alarcón about the importance of Spanish-language media and more. When it Comes to Identity Which Word Wins? Afro-Latinidad, Latino, Latinx and Hispanic are just a few of the terms used to identify people from a large portion of the world including Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. But which one of these is right? Michele Reid-Vazquez, an associate professor in the department of Africana Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, who also serves as the director of the Afro-Latin American and Afro-Latinx Studies Initiative, and Ed Morales a journalist and author of Latinx: The New Force in American Politics and Culture joined to discuss.  U.S. Officials Announce That 23 Species Should Be Declared Extinct Last week, U.S. wildlife officials recommended that 22 animals and one plant within the United States and Guam be marked extinct and gone forever. In total, the extinctions include eight freshwater mussels, 11 birds, two fish, a bat, and a plant. Within the next decade, the issue could get worse due to climate change, but especially due to people taking over or changing habitats and diminishing global biodiversity. For more on this extinction and biodiversity crisis, The Takeaway spoke with Catrin Einhorn, who covers wildlife and extinction for The New York Times. Preview of the Upcoming SCOTUS Term Ian Millhiser, a senior correspondent at Vox, discusses some of the cases the Supreme Court is hearing this term. Its conservative leaning court will consider the fate of abortion rights, gun control, and the power Congress has over government agencies like the EPA and the Department of Labor.

Today on our show, we're talking about how to frame a story. Not all publications are looking for the same thing. Actually, all pubs are different. On Writing Class Radio, we look for a change in the narrator or a discovery by the narrator. We want the narrator to reveal something big and vulnerable and important. We want something dramatic to happen. And then we want the narrator to make meaning of what happened. The story we bring you today doesn't exactly fit into what we call a story, but it is so compelling and beautifully written. AND it was published despite it not fitting into our usual box. On today's show we talk about writing stories meant for different publications and why we think this one was published elsewhere. You'll hear Sari Caine read her story, I Was the Real Life Queen's Gambit Beth. Sari Caine is a native New Yorker who has been living a nomadic lifestyle since the start of the pandemic. Her story was originally published in The Independent and is an excerpt from her memoir in progress called Check Mates.Writing Class Radio is a podcast where you'll hear true personal stories and learn a little about how to write your own stories. Writing Class Radio is equal parts heart and art. By heart we mean the truth in a story. By art we mean the craft of writing.
