It's been over three months since President Trump announced very big across-the-board tariffs on imports from nearly every territory on Earth–including uninhabited islands. It's a move he said would revitalize the U.S. economy.Since that splashy White House announcement, the tariff rates have been a wildly moving target. Ratcheted up - then back down - on China, specifically.Overlaid with global product-specific tariffs on categories like automobiles and copper. Partially paused after the stock market tanked.Through it all, the tariff rate has remained at or well-above 10 percent on nearly every good imported to the U.S. And if you've listened to NPR's reporting since April, you'll have heard many voices make one particular prediction over and over again – that American consumers will pay the price.If American consumers are going to pay for the tariffs, the question is: when ?

Ted is joined by Nishant Batsha, whose second novel, A Bomb Placed Close to the Heart, was published this month by ecco/HarperCollins. He is also the author of Mother Ocean Father Nation (ecco/HarperCollins), which, among other honors, was named one of the best books of 2022 by NPR.Nishant holds a Ph.D. in history from Columbia University, so it's no surprise that his fiction draws heavily on real-life people and events. He describes this latest book as a “socialist, anti-colonial coming-of-age love story set in 1917,” one that is loosely based on a real-life couple, M.N. Roy and Evelyn Trent, who together founded the Communist Party of Mexico before an acrimonious divorce led to Roy basically writing Trent out of the history of the movement they led together.With A Bomb Placed Close to the Heart now out in the world, Nishant is at work on his next book. He and Ted talk about the circuitous route he's taken to get there, including an entire novel set in the present day that he finished writing before realizing he didn't want to deviate from historical fiction.Nishant discusses being a historian who wanted to become a novelist (compared to the other way around) and what that means for the way he approaches his writing. He then shares details about his work in progress, which is told from the perspective of a Civil War veteran who has left society behind to join a Shaker colony in Maine. Find Nishant and his books at nishantbatsha.com.Working Drafts episodes and info for requesting transcripts as well as more details about Ted and his books are available on his website, thetedfox.com.

For this second installment of the Sea Camp series, we explore the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It's the largest of five gigantic garbage patches in the sea.

But researchers have uncovered a whole ecosystem of life in this largest collection of trash. Today, with the help of marine biologist Fiona Chong, we meet the tiny marine life that calls this place home.Also, exciting news!! WE HAVE A NEWSLETTER!

Are the stories you tell yourself holding you back? After all, there's always more than one way to tell the same story. You could be a victim of tragic circumstances or a hero who survived them. The way we interpret our past influences our identities, but it doesn't have to define who we are forever. This week, I'm joined by Lauren Sisler, a sports journalist, broadcaster, and author of Shatterproof. Lauren shares her remarkable story of navigating unimaginable loss, overcoming shame, and redefining her narrative to build resilience and mental strength — not just for herself but to inspire and support others. Some of the things we discuss are: How the stories we believe about ourselves can shape our mental health, for better or worse. The challenges Lauren faced after unexpectedly losing both parents in one night. Why Lauren kept the truth about her parents' deaths hidden for seven years and how she finally found the courage to share.

NPR’s Tamara Keith and Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter join William Brangham to discuss the latest political news, including the political fallout of the Trump administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, the White House effort to claw back funding for foreign aid and public media and the public opinion on immigration raids.

   The Royals pulled out a much needed win leading into the All Star Break Sunday.  Then, the front office locked in and grabbed a couple high school hitters in the first round of the MLB Draft Sunday night.  We have the details.    The All Star Game is in Atlanta...four years after MLB wimped out and moved it because Dems were applying pressure.  What a joke of a time we lived through and what a relief it's better.    An NFL wide receiver does a podcast with his athlete brother and their dad and the topic came up of how the man raised and trained three athletes. He credits "breeding" for it and its hilarious.  You want to hear this.    John Elway is cleared of any wrongdoing as he was driving a golf cart when his friend fell off the back and hit head and died.       President Trump went for the global photo op in New York at the FIFA Club World Cup final.  This week, he's expected to announce tough sanctions on Russia as that war continues.  Then, we revisit some July 13 headlines from a year ago when Trump was shot.      The Dem media have a new battle cry as PBS and NPR are about to get defunded.  And police officers in Arizona deliver a tasty treat to some surprised residents.

Attorney General Pam Bondi released a two-page memo stating that convicted sex offender Jefferey Epstein did not have an incriminating "client list." After Epstein's death in 2019, he became the subject of conspiracy theories, bolstered by conservative leaders including Trump himself. CNN's Donie O'Sullivan explains more. And, a U.S. citizen was killed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Friday. The family of Sayfollah Musallet say Israeli settlers beat Musallet to death. NPR's Daniel Estrin shares more. Then, employees are using artificial intelligence tools to streamline their work. That can save a lot of time, but many companies want people to use that time to do more work. Wall Street Journal columnist Callum Borchers explains more.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

The author Ann Patchett has talked about her decision to focus on her writing and to forgo entering the world of motherhood. But in her latest book, Tom Lake, the main character Lara made a different choice: She chose being a mother over pursuing acting and the fame that may have come with it. In today's episode, Patchett speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about the decision to make Lara a mother who is reveling in time spent with her daughters, sharing the tale of one seminal summer before they were born.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Speaking with the owners of a popular toy store that's about to close after two decades of operation in Waterbury Village. Plus, flash floods late last week destroyed homes and did severe damage in the Northeast Kingdom and Addison County, Sen. Welch introduces a bill he says would decentralize FEMA operations and streamline the disaster recovery agency, a New Hampshire man who took part in the January 6th riots at the US Capitol wants to reject president Trump's pardon, and a Vergennes state representative hopes to pass legislation calling for all campaign ads to disclose when Artificial Intelligence has been used.

The debate over so-called "public" broadcasting should be focused on its fundamental unfairness toward Republicans and undisguised loathing of conservatives. PBS and NPR and their Democrat allies want this fight to be over Elmo and emergency alerts. They can't deny how flagrantly they push a leftist agenda, so they have to change the subject.

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am proud to host Christian McBride, multi Grammy-winning jazz superstar bass player! We talk about performing at sea, and hear about Christian's inaugural charter cruise, Christian McBride's World at Sea, January 20-27, 2026. The cruise will be on Celebrity Summit from Ft. Lauderdale, stopping at Jamaica and Grand Cayman.Christian McBride is creating a new kind of experience for jazz fans while breaking new ground for artists as he takes on a "captain" and completely immersive role on his upcoming cruise, Christian McBride's World at Sea (produced by Signature Cruise Experiences whom we hosted on the podcast when they were called, Jazz Cruises, Ep 113). Music cruises have gained in popularity in recent years and give fans an incredible opportunity to personally engage with their favorite artists (running into them all week long on the ship...at the buffet, the pool, during shore excursions together, seeing concerts in smaller venues than they would on tour) but Christian is in a unique position where he's not simply one of the acts booked onto a festival at sea. Instead, he curated the cruise, building a completely personal environment and atmosphere to share with jazz fans by inviting his friends and peers like Samara Joy, Angelique Kidjo, Ledisi, Jose James, Cecile McLorin Salvant and 40 more musicians to join them. Plus, he's a prolific musician, in several bands at any given moment so it's no surprise that his time on the cruise will be no different than on land: He is bringing three of his bands onboard and will perform with each of them separately.Christian has performed on over 400 recordings, leads six different bands, has been the Creative Chair for Jazz at the Los Angeles Philharmonic, is the artistic director for the world-renowned Newport Jazz Festival, curates the James Moody Jazz Festival and he hosts the popular NPR show "Jazz Night in America." Christian McBride's World at Sea: https://mcbridesworldatsea.com/Do you have a dream car?Keep Travelling – Your African VacationInsightful interviews with Africa's tourism professionals - Great giveaways from 5* guestsListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises http://www.thejoyofvacation.com/US Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

But what do we know about what's driving this anger?NPR's Scott Detrow speaks with Katherine Keneally, from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, about her threat analysis research and recommendations for countering a rise in political violence.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
