Podcasts about New Yorker

Hello from the miserable gap between episodes of “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”!This week, Jay and Tammy are joined by the great Jia Tolentino, a writer at The New Yorker and the author of Trick Mirror.We start by talking about Jia’s recent piece on housing (= the rent is too damn high) on the worker-owned site “Hellgate”—and her dreams of organizing her building (not Tammy’s “white projects”) in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York. Then, we discuss two provocative essays Jia wrote on abortion after the Dobbs decision: first, on surveillance statism; and second, on the moral (especially Judeo-Christian) sacrifices inherent to pregnancy and human existence, not just to abortion. Plus: Jay and Tammy review Las Vegas's Sino-Korean noodles. As always, thanks to our wonderful producer Mai and all of our subscribers (Jia included!) for keeping the show alive. On Thursday, August 25th, we’ll have our next book club meeting with Lisa Hsiao Chen, the author of the novel Activities of Daily Living. Subscribe via Patreon or Substack to join.

Hannah Goldfield is the food critic at The New Yorker. “There are just only so many ways to say ‘crunchy.' There's ‘crunchy,' there's ‘crisp,' there's ‘crispy,' you can say something ‘crackles,' and that's kind of it. It's really, really hard. And a lot of things are crunchy. It's a really specific sensation that needs to be described. But I've had moments where I'm like, I can't say crunchy again in a sentence. What am I going to do?

On today's MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben and Brett are in Washington, D.C. to bring you the latest breaking updates! After a recap of Jordy's wedding, Ben and Brett discuss the historic passage of the Inflation Reduction Act passed by the Democrats, and the Republicans' sticking it one more time to diabetics by voting down a provision to cap insulin costs at $35. The brothers discuss the GOP's descent into full-blown authoritarianism, as the party welcomes Hungarian dictator Viktor Orban to their most recent CPAC event (are these like, every week now?). But having a dictator as the keynote speaker was only the beginning. CPAC featured a variety of other bizarre and fascist exhibits and speakers with the intent of destroying the rule of law and ending liberal democracy as we know it. The brothers also discuss the latest New Yorker article, which profiles Donald Trump's desire to model the military after the Nazis and the newly released photos of Trump's dumps. Ben and Brett wrap by covering the horrific abortion ban in Indiana and its implications. Thank you for listening and remember to subscribe to the MeidasTouch Podcast and give us a 5-star review!

It also sets the day's political agenda by breaking exclusive news with a team of scoop-driven reporters and demanding answers during interviews with the country's most important political newsmakers.

The FBI executes a search warrant at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida. Sources tell CNN agents focused on the former president's offices and personal quarters, searching for for classified documents that may have been taken there from the White House.The New Yorker reports General Mark Milley was set to excoriate Trump in an unreleased resignation letter in which he states, “It is my belief that you were doing great and irreparable harm to my country. I believe that you have made a concerted effort over time to politicize the United States military". Plus, Ahmaud Arbery's killers are given second life sentences for federal hate crimes, Indiana becomes the first state post-Roe to pass a law banning most abortions, and singer and actress Olivia Newton-John dies age 73.Hosted by Laura Coates.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Is a computer actually like the human brain? And is God's wisdom as mysterious as an AI's black box? We host Wired columnist Meghan O'Gieblyn with fascinating conversation through sentience, suffering, God's sovereignty—and of course, AI robotic dogs. Meghan O'Gieblyn is the author of God Human Animal Machine: Technology, Metaphor, and the Search for Meaning. Her previous essay collection Interior States, won the Believer Book Award for nonfiction. She writes essays and criticism for Harper's Magazine, The New Yorker, The Guardian, The New York Times, and Bookforum. Her writing has received three Pushcart Prizes, was nominated for a National Magazine Award, and has appeared in The Best American Essays and The Contemporary American Essay anthologies. And she writes a monthly advice column for our perennial favorite WIRED magazine. Big Questions How is it possible that humans can become attached to these artificial intelligence pets? What is the “hard problem of consciousness” in philosophy? How has the language of computers affected how we think about our own mind? Will artificial intelligence affect the way we think about God? Suffering? A note on faith Meghan openly talks on this episode that she no longer considers herself a Christian—despite growing up as an evangelical and a degree in Christian theology. She incorporates her personal story of belief and doubt into her recent book. While of course at Device & Virtue we produce our podcast from our own Christian worldview & faith, we felt like we had much to consider from her thoughts and were thankful she agreed to come on the show knowing we were a podcast of faith. Books & Links Chris mentions author Ted Chiang's science fiction story “The Lifecycle of Software Objects” about artificially intelligent pets Adam and Meghan discuss LaMDA—an AI chatbot by Google trained on conversation. In June 2022, news was made when a Google employee named Blake Lemoine claimed that the chatbot was sentient, a claim rejected by experts.

Jonathan may be away, sitting on a lounge chair positioned on a sandy beach somewhere, but it doesn't mean Unholy listeners will be deprived of their weekly podcast fix. This summer break, we're taking you back to some of our favorite conversations with outstanding guests.  In this episode, Yonit and Jonathan revisit their discussion with one of America's most accomplished journalists, David Remnick. Recorded on the eve of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the editor of The New Yorker reflects on being a correspondent in Moscow during the last days of the Soviet Union and shares his thoughts on why nobody really knows what goes on in Putin's head. Plus, no podcast hosted by Jews can really be concluded without discussing Jewish identity - nor without a session on Leonard Cohen.

China's live fire drills in the Taiwan strait have provided an explosive finale to a dizzying week in global politics. Beijing is making good on its promise that Taipei would pay the price for hosting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier this week, a visit that came just after the White House announced the killing of the leader of Al-Qaeda in Kabul. Domestically, the US has undergone several political earthquakes, with the potential revival of President Biden's climate agenda and the landslide victory for abortion rights in the steadfastly Republican state of Kansas. The New Yorker's Susan Glasser joins the show to break down this tumultuous week.  Also on today's show: Ron Howard and Raymond Phathanavirangoon, the director and co-producer, respectively, of the new movie Thirteen Lives, which depicts the 2018 rescue of a Thai football team; historian Evan Thomas, author of Ike's Bluff: President Eisenhower's Secret Battle To Save The World.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Using Lisa Guerrero's 2009 article “Can the Subaltern Shop? The Commodification of Difference in the Bratz Dolls” as a framework, Carrie and Ellie discuss MGA Entertainment's introduction of the Bratz line in 2001 and the alternative vision of femininity and style it offered young girls in the new millennium. Guerrero explores four spaces of critical inquiry: the Bratz' paradoxical investment in racial identities, gender and sexuality politics, the influence of consumerism/commodity culture, and the "street cred" culture that provided white suburban girls a "tourist opportunity of the urban imaginary space." The sisters also contextualize the Bratz line within the y2k emphasis on multiculturalism and the specious understanding of America as a "post-racial society" in the late 20th century. Other topics include the McBling aesthetic, the "browning of America," and (as always) neoliberal postfeminism. Works cited include Danzy Senna's 1998 piece "Mulatto Millennium," Michele Elam's 2011 work The Souls of Mixed Folk: Race, Politics, and Aesthetics in the New Millennium, Molly Rosner's Playing with History: American Identities and Children's Consumer Culture (2021), Walter Johnson's 1996 article “The Strange Story of Alexina Morrison: Race, Sex, and Resistance in Antebellum Louisiana” as well as his 1999 book Soul by Soul: Life Inside the Antebellum Slave Market, and (just barely!) Jill Lepore's 2018 piece in the New Yorker, "Valley of the Dolls: Barbie, Bratz, and the end of originality." Passing narrative films Carrie mentioned were Showboat (1936, 1951), Pinky (1949), and Imitation of Life (1934, 1959).

Brad and Dan begin by discussing takeaways from Kansas, where voters soundly rejected a state amendment proposal to ban abortion. In one sense, it offers hope that pro-abortion movements and candidates can push back in the wake of the Dobbs decision and make headway in the fight for women's rights, reproductive rights, and healthcare in this country. On the other, it will provide fodder for the American Right to argue to conservative voters that the only way forward is a national ban on abortion. Brad then takes a deep dive into Viktor Orbán's appearance at CPAC and what it means that the American Right looks to him as a model for the illiberal democracy they want to create here. He draws on his own work and that of Sarah. Posner to show that the current conservative fascination with Orbán was fueled by the Religious Right and Christian nationalists. Andrew Marantz at the New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/07/04/does-hungary-offer-a-glimpse-of-our-authoritarian-future Sarah Posner at Vice: https://www.vice.com/en/article/a3b4kk/is-authoritarian-europe-becoming-the-new-hope-of-the-religious-right-v26n1 The episode finishes with a look at the Arizona primary results. Down the GOP ticket in AZ election deniers won their races, meaning that the state could be run by proponents of the Big Lie very soon. It is, in essence, a test run for the kind of illiberal democracy we see in Hungary.

Beyoncé's seventh studio and her first in over six years, Renaissance, is finally upon us! For the fourth and final episode of our series on Queen B, DJ Louie is joined by The New Yorker's Doreen St. Félix to discuss the new record. Louie and Doreen share gut-check reactions, break down Renaissance's themes of bacchanalia and sexual freak-dom and how they register through Beyoncé's signature meticulousness, its lush, dynamic sonic palette which runs the gamut from house to disco to afrobeat, this weekend's controversy with Kelis and whether an artist of B's stature's can celebrate other artists and sub-cultures- like ballroom- without subsuming them, and why this may be a superlative pandemic record, a manifestation of Beyoncé's delayed adolescence and of a superstar's fantasy of what life is like for people who, unlike her, can actually go to a club.

As the Fed tries to combat inflation by raising interest rates and cooling down the economy, it risks moving us into a recession and causing a big spike in unemployment.  Now, there is a fight brewing about how big the jump could be or if it will be more of a soft landing like the Fed wants.  As it stands now, there has been a small drop in job openings, but there are still roughly two jobs open for each unemployed worker.  Courtenay Brown, economics reporter at Axios, joins us for the inflation vs. jobs fight.   Next, when it comes to student debt, the fastest-growing demographic of borrowers are those aged sixty-two and older.  Of the forty-five million Americans who have student debt, one in five are over fifty and we have seen their student loan balances increase over 500%.  One example of how bad it can get… a woman took out a $29,000 federal loan in 1983, she is now 91 and owes more than $329,000.  Eleni Schirmer, organizer with the Debt Collective and contributor to The New Yorker, joins us for how more Americans are aging into their debt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One pivotal afternoon, Erika Krouse met an attorney in a bookstore when they both reached for the same Paul Auster novel. Much to his surprise, he soon found himself confiding in her. She told him not to worry–strangers divulged secrets to her all the time–whereupon he offered her a job as a private investigator. And so, with no prior experience, Erika wound up investigating sexual assaults by members of a Division I college football team for what because the first Title IX sexual assault case in the country. She did so notwithstanding her own history as a victim of sexual assault by a family member–a history her mother refuses to acknowledge. Now, Erika has written a memoir, Tell Me Everything: The Story of a Private Investigation, about the case and her related life experience. In this episode of Book Dreams, Erika speaks with Julie and Eve about the techniques she used to get people to talk when they were often deeply reluctant to do so; what it was like to meet with football players who had been told, in essence, that she was the enemy; and why she sometimes thinks the subtitle of the memoir should be How I Became an Asshole. Erika relays, too, the many complicated ways that her family trauma intertwined with her pursuit of justice in the Title IX case. Erika Krouse's short story collection, Come Up and See Me Sometime, won the Patterson Fiction Award, was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, and is translated into six languages. Her short fiction has been published in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and many other publications. Her stories have been shortlisted for Best American Short Stories, Best American NonRequired Reading, and the Pushcart Prize. She's also the author of the novel Contenders. Tell Me Everything is her first nonfiction book. It was a Book of the Month Club Pick, a New York Times Editors' Choice, and a People Magazine People Pick.

THE THESIS: What gives the media nightmares? The same things that give us hope. How can CNN “regain the trust of conservatives?” Make your anchors leave New York and live in red states. Hire producers who have never lived in any major city. Invite people like me to sit and watch CNN with you for a day. In fact, CNN, I will help you for free.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  CNN's key problem is their culture is godless. Even The Lord, Jesus spoke of needing to be connected God.  John 5:19-20 19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. THE NEWS & COMMENT: Meeting with shiny shoes in D.C. is not gong to get conservatives back to CNN. But, that's what CNN's new boss is doing in his effort to get us back. CNN Chief's Republican Apology Tour; GOP officials say they're skeptical of Chris Licht's pledge to tamp down on-air partisanship While CNN continues to ignore the other shoe that ALWAYS drops when people make insane charges against President Trump, the network will continue to be a joke to conservatives. EXCLUSIVE: Cassidy Hutchinson kept working for Donald Trump for nine weeks after he left the White House, government records show There is no greater sign of the ideological and intellectual divide between the Mockingbird Media class and conservative Americans than that which terrifies the Mockingbirds--namely, limiting federal government power in any way **except for abortion, of course. Republicans' next big play is to 'scare the hell out of Washington' by rewriting the Constitution. And they're willing to play the long game to win. “If they were successful, a constitutional convention led by conservatives could trigger sweeping changes to the Constitution.  Their goals include gutting federal environmental standards, nixing nationwide education requirements, and creating an incredibly high threshold for Washington, DC, or a territory to earn statehood. Some would like to make it difficult, if not impossible, for someone — National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, for example — to work for decades within the federal government.” If Chris Licht will agree to my terms, and come to Idaho with me, I will show him how loving and responsible the men here are, especially at my gun range. He can ask himself if they seem do dangerous that only groups like the IRS should have semi-automatic rifles.  Epoch Times: “Why is Biden trying to weaponize the IRS?” Rep Jeff Duncam said. The IRS has stockpiled 5 million rounds of ammunition and spent $725,000 on bullets this year, said Rep MattGaetz, who introduced a bill to block future ammo purchases by the agency. “But the IRS isn't the only governmental agency building up massive caches of guns and bullets. OpenTheBooks.com, a nonprofit government watchdog group, released a report called ‘The militarization of the U.S. Executive Agencies' in December 2020, detailing how agencies that people wouldn't normally associate with law enforcement were stockpiling weapons and ammunition.” “The Environmental Protection Agency owns 600 guns. At the same time, special agents at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are equipped with machine guns and AR15s. Even the Smithsonian Institution employed 620-armed “special agents,” up from zero officers in 2008, according to the report.” The core problem of CNN, aside from their godless culture, is that anytime a reporter needs to do a story about America--that is, outside the single zip code in which 99% of news media is made--they have to leave home. Look at CNN in Wyoming seeking Liz Cheney fans. [AUDIO] - CNN Tried To Find People In Wyoming Who Like Liz Cheney. It Didn't Go Well Meanwhile, will CNN devote weeks to accusing Liz Cheny of wanting the Capital sacked, as their hosts to with Trump? Inside Liz Cheney's Coordinated Effort To Prevent Troop Deployment Before Jan. 6 “Cheney herself seems to have orchestrated opposition to use of the military to quell election-related unrest, allegedly organizing a Washington Post op-ed on Jan. 3, 2021, signed by every living former defense secretary. ‘All 10 living former defense secretaries: Involving the military in election disputes would cross into dangerous territory,”' the headline read. It went on to threaten any military official who thought any use of the military might be a good idea. ‘Civilian and military officials who direct or carry out such measures would be accountable, including potentially facing criminal penalties, for the grave consequences of their actions on our republic,' the op-ed warned. The op-ed was allegedly organized by Cheney, whose father was secretary of defense under President George H.W. Bush before serving as President George W. Bush's vice president. Eric Edelman, a national security adviser to Dick Cheney, told the New Yorker the Wyoming lawmaker ‘was the one who generated' the piece for the Post.” Perhaps the best cure for CNN, after taking me up on my promise, is to get to know young men like this. Here, with no prompter or notes, this man gets to a core truth about the trip to Taiwan Nancy made you buy for her.   [AUDIO] - "Standing up to China" amounts to getting a tour of a Nvidia chip factory of which she invested in using insider info on the CHIPS act. Her trip costs us 90Mil up front and so much more down the line. - Flexutaro MalcomotoSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some of the best, most diverse, and talented audio creators alive make their living creating audio fiction. Shows like Welcome to Nightvale, Limetown, and Alice isn’t Dead, just to name a few, weave complex story arcs, colorful characters, and of course, great production value for listeners. We’re all lucky these shows exist. Northwoods Baseball Sleep Radio is firmly in the realm of audio fiction. But unlike most audio fiction, there are no supernatural elements, heroes, villains, or any traditional story arc. In this podcast series, each episode is presented as a full-length minor league baseball broadcast. The teams, the players, the sponsors, all of it is made up. The catch? There is none. It’s just nine innings of fictional baseball. Created by a podcaster known only as Mr. King, Sleep Baseball is a work of fiction that feels very much like it’s a real broadcast. And if that seems boring, it’s the point. This “boring” show is resonating with listeners. Fans of the show support it through Patreon and merch sales. It’s even been written up in The New Yorker. In this episode, Stuart and “Mr. King” chat about the inspiration for making the show, the process of producing fake baseball broadcasts, and how listener support makes a project of this size financially viable.

In 2002, journalist Ken Auletta tried to expose Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse of women in a New Yorker profile he was writing about the powerful film mogul, but his sources were unwilling to go on the record. It would take another 15 years for the full story to come to light through Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey's reporting for the New York Times and Ronan Farrow's for the New Yorker. For his new book, “Hollywood Ending: Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence,” Auletta revisits the story that got away and offers up a fascinating portrayal of Weinstein's life and career. And for this bonus episode, he talks with Katie about what exactly motivated Weinstein to commit such horrific acts, the culture of complicity that enabled him, and the current state of the #MeToo movement that his toppling set in motion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
