I like to start the year with a few episodes on things I'm personally working on. Not resolutions, exactly. More like intentions. Or, even better, practices.One of those practices, strange as it sounds, is repeatedly asking the question: “What is this?” It's a question I got from a book of the same name, by Stephen and Martine Batchelor. In that book, they are describing an approach to Buddhist meditation built on the cultivation of doubt and wonder. You can see that as a spiritual practice, but it's also an intellectual and ethical one. It is, for me, a practice that has a lot of bearing on politics and journalism.Stephen Batchelor's latest book, “Buddha, Socrates, and Us: Ethical Living in Uncertain Times,” explores those dimensions of doubt more fully. And so I wanted to have him on the show to discuss the virtues of both certainty and uncertainty, the difficulty of living both ethically and openly. You can see this as a conversation about our inner lives or our outer lives, but of course they are one. And Batchelor, as you'll hear, is just lovely to listen to.Mentioned:Buddha, Socrates, and Us by Stephen BatchelorWhat Is This? by Martine Batchelor and Stephen BatchelorEthics of Care by Carol GilliganBook Recommendations:Children of a Modest Star by Jonathan S.

Original air date: July 30, 2025 You've probably heard that President Trump and the European Union have reached a ⁠big trade deal⁠. This is being widely portrayed as a “win” for Trump and a big humiliation for the EU. But it's not at all clear what we gain as a country from this deal. Surely the phrase “Trump won” has to mean more than, “Trump gets to claim a personal victory and the media is required to play along,” right? We talked to economist Paul Krugman, who has a ⁠great new piece⁠ on ⁠his Substack⁠ casting a lot of much-needed skepticism on the deal. Krugman explains in extensive detail what a sham it is: He argues that Europe's concessions are fake, that the deal won't spur a lot more manufacturing in the U.S., and that its burden will fall heavily on MAGA, making it a “scam on his voters.” Krugman also discusses why the media seems incapable of reporting clearly and accurately on the magnitude of Trump's incompetence and delusions.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's easy to tell our friends about why the person you're with isn't making the cut. Your partner has annoying habits, the sex isn't that great, it's not as good as it was when you first hooked up, or they stopped doing the things that grabbed your attention at the beginning.  Of all the reasons we can chat over a bottle (or two) of wine about explaining why our relationship isn't working out, rarely do we reflect on ourselves and how we showed up in that relationship. Stephan Speaks has been helping women (and men) have more fulfilling relationships with the kind of advice that cuts straight through the B.S. and gets right to the heart of the matter. The 100+ million views on his YouTube channel speaks for itself.  How do you avoid another bad relationship? How do you choose the best partner for you and invest your time wisely to find the right partner for you? Lisa is digging in and asking all the questions we think about and Stephan is delivering on the hard truths we don't want to hear, but we need to hear if we're serious about having a loving, long-term, healthy relationship. You deserve to thrive in your relationship and that means bringing all of you and the best of you to the table with your partner. Some the hard issues Original air date: 2-8-23 Stephan and Lisa are hitting on include: Why relationship tricks and hacks don't build meaningful relationships Great sex alone is never a valid reason to stay with anyone Exposing the lies and B.S. we've been told are the “norm” for relationships It's time to stop compromising and setting yourself up for heartache and start making better decisions to find and create the relationship of your dreams.

Weather forecasting drives billions of economic decisions — from grid operations to evacuation planning. Better forecasting could improve supply chain planning, disaster warnings, and renewable integration. The industry has decades of satellite observations and ground measurements, making it ripe for AI-driven advancements. And it's already happening. But how exactly does AI get used in weather forecasting, and how does it actually lead to improvements? In this episode, Shayle talks to Peter Battaglia, senior director of research at Google DeepMind's sustainability program, which launched a new AI-powered weather forecasting model in November 2025. They cover topics like: Why precipitation is so much harder to predict than temperature  How the weather industry works, with governments creating global models and private companies refining them for specific use cases What AI models can see that traditional supercomputer simulations can't Novel sources of data like cell phones, door bells, and social media Resources: Latitude Media: Where are we on using AI to predict the weather?   Latitude Media: Could AI-fueled weather forecasts boost renewable energy production?   Catalyst: Specialized AI brains for physical industry   Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Original air date: September 17, 2025 President Trump seems even more angry at the media than usual. His lawyers ⁠just filed a lawsuit⁠ against The New York Times that First Amendment lawyers are ⁠dismissing⁠ as a total joke. The suit, however, is also chock full of angry rants that appeared dictated by Trump himself. And he announced it with a ⁠Truth Social tirade⁠ that boiled with fury. Meanwhile, Trump himself snapped directly at reporters in strange ways, ⁠hitting one with a bizarre threat⁠ and engaging in a ⁠bizarre dominance display⁠ over the other. This comes as a ⁠new poll⁠ from the Economist reveals shockingly low support for Trump among independents, a key metric for gauging political strength—or weakness. We talked to Paul Waldman, who ⁠recently argued⁠ on his Substack, ⁠The Cross Section⁠, that Trump's powers of persuasion are failing him. We discuss how Trump both despises and relies on the media, the real reasons for his mounting anger, and how it's all revealing big cracks in his authoritarian project.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today is day 1 and we are beginning the section on Salvation. 1. What is the human condition? Though created good and made for fellowship with our Creator, humanity has been cut off from God by self-centered rebellion against him, leading to lawless living, guilt, shame, death, and the fear of judgment. This is the state of sin. (Genesis 3:1–13; Psalm 14:1–3; Matthew 15:10–20; Romans 1:18–23; 3:9–23) Our daily collect is the Ash Wednesday Collect on page 605 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Original show notes: President Donald Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act during peacetime is unprecedented, a part of his larger effort to portray undocumented immigrants as wicked and threatening as he seeks to deport them en masse. What is not unprecedented is the federal government weaponizing the law to shred constitutional protections and civil liberties. During the Second World War, the administration of Franklin Roosevelt arrested and incarcerated Italians, Germans, and Japanese aliens under the 1798 statute, but also interned roughly 100,000 U.S. citizens of Japanese ancestry — one of the most egregious violations of civil rights in U.S. history. In this episode, the eminent historian David M. Kennedy takes us back to those perilous years and their important parallels to the current crisis.

[Original air date: June 19, 2025]In this episode, Alex Immerman, partner at Andreessen Horowitz, joins CJ to discuss the CFO role and how it's changing in the era of AI. He explains what the components of a company's AI agenda the CFO should own, how and where it should be leveraged in an organization, and why, if you're preparing to go public, AI needs to be mentioned in your S-1. He breaks down how the financial landscape differs greatly between AI-native SaaS companies and traditional B2B SaaS companies in terms of retention curves and gross margins, and how this relates to the ever-important LTV to CAC metric. As someone who has worked with prominent CFOs and interviewed many for a16z's portfolio companies, Alex also describes the qualities of a great CFO, and shares his favorite interview question, before discussing CFOs, CEO, and board dynamics.—LINKS:Alex Immerman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/immermanAndreessen Horowitz: https://a16z.comCJ on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cj-gustafson-13140948/Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.com—RELATED EPISODES:a16z's Alex Immerman on the Evolving Role of the CFO in the Age of AIhttps://youtu.be/JIvHp-mlnzsSo You're Looking for a “Strategic” CFO?

我上学那会儿，北航教学区的三号楼里有几个通宵自习室，这里常年堆着些准备考研的人的书和复习资料，但也并非只有他们在用，每当考期的时候，很多爱临时抱佛脚的人（比如我）也会来到这里，不一定要通宵，总归要晚一点回去。 我那时候用的手机是摩托罗拉E2，64MB存储，我还买了一个128M的SD卡作为存储拓展。即便是使用64比特率的音乐，手机里能存储的歌曲数目也十分有限。再加上流媒体兴起已经是2010年代之后的事情了，想发掘新的音乐，也不想现在的音乐app首页推荐那么方便——我不知道多少人还记得百度音乐、酷我音乐盒之类的时代眼泪。于是，FM电台对于我来说就至关重要。 当自己的曲库听厌烦了，又没有机会及时补充新货时，广播的重要性就凸显出来了。我虽然杂食，但是本科时期还是自诩在听歌这个问题上具备“国际视野”，是要关注最新的欧美流行音乐的。于是，Hit FM便几乎成了不二之选。 时过境迁，我当年在北航住的宿舍楼已经拆掉盖了新楼，3号教学楼重新内部装修另做他用，就连Hit FM也成了历史。 接下来的几期节目，就让小马和勺子与大家聊聊与“广播”有关的音乐作品。而本期节目中，小马和勺子将仔细讲讲自己记忆中具体的电台频率与节目。 *** 选歌嘉宾：乔小乔 乔小乔选送了与非门的《1061》：“挺喜欢这首歌，也是与非门的代表作之一了，但一直不知道歌名为什么是这四个数字。最近才知道这是 2002年长沙音乐频道FM106.1邀请与非门创作的台歌，词作者胡旭也是这个电台的DJ，他说106.1在收音机上是靠最右或者最上的，要做最不同最有品质的新的声音。”而我则惊讶于这居然不是一首张惠妹专辑里的作品。 *** 本期歌单 1.

In this Podcast Stefan Baumann describes how to create a body of work that is autobiographical and represents the life with living that we all are on a journey with on this planet. To understand how to create autobiographical work will be the foundation of how we move forward and how we separate ourselves from work created by AI and work that is truly created at a passion. In an age dominated by digital influence and AI, people seek authentic connection. Buyers and audiences want art that reflects real human circumstances and feelings, not just flawless images. They want to feel the presence of an artist who has lived through struggle, joy, doubt, and hope. My creative process embraces chance and randomness. Using my phone like a tool of Russian roulette, I access snapshots of a life worth living. These everyday digital fragments—photos, messages, moments—form an autobiographical record. By reinterpreting them, I create visual stories that reveal truths often overlooked. Each image I choose reflects a part of my life's story, rich with personal meaning. Together, they form a mosaic that speaks to universal human experiences. This emotional connection makes my work uniquely meaningful to collectors seeking depth beyond surface beauty. My art is a living archive of memories and emotions that go deeper than any AI can mimic. It conveys vulnerability, hope, nostalgia—the intangible feelings that give life to my pieces. I want collectors to connect with my work on an emotional level, recognizing themselves in the stories I tell. To do this, I use techniques that embrace imperfection and spontaneity, highlighting raw human emotion rather than polished digital perfection. Even when using digital tools, I prioritize authenticity. I balance technology with intentionality, resisting over-curation to keep the truth of each moment alive. Themes of community, memory, vulnerability, and time run through my art, reflecting what I consider a life worth living: one filled with connection, discovery, and self-reflection. These ideas appear through layered images and symbolic contrasts between presence and absence. Challenges in my life have shaped my artistic voice, adding depth and honesty to my work. These experiences inform how I see the world and the stories I choose to share. What sets my art apart from AI-generated work is its emotional depth and humanity. AI can create images, but it cannot replicate the lived experience and conscious reflection behind my pieces. I am committed to transforming the chaos and beauty of everyday life into art that speaks to our shared humanity. This is the essence of my journey as an artist. #MixedMediaNarratives #HumanVulnerability #MemoryCollage #SpontaneousImagery #LayeredEmotions #AuthenticDigitalArt #AntiAIAesthetics #SelfReflectiveStoriesSupport the showFor more information go to www.StefanBaumann.com https://www.stefanbaumann.com/Free Book For painting, coaching call me on my phone at 415-606-9074

Original air date: October 14, 2025 President Trump's allies are suddenly raging over the October 18th “No Kings” protests. MAGA Mike Johnson and ⁠MAGA-fied⁠ Representative Steve Scalise are ⁠angrily sliming expected attendees⁠ as ⁠America-haters⁠, antifa, Marxists, and terrorists. Other GOP figures have ⁠done the same⁠, with ⁠one hinting⁠ that the National Guard should crack down on them. This unanimity of messaging about terrorists means it's all almost certainly being coordinated by Stephen Miller. Yet it's backfiring: Democrats and rally organizers are ⁠using it to galvanize attendance⁠, which will likely succeed. Robert De Niro ⁠amplified⁠ the call to turn out, inspiring ⁠more anger⁠ on Fox News. Indeed, the GOP demonization of legitimate protests itself ratifies the “No Kings” message. We talked to Jill Lawrence, who ⁠writes well for The Bulwark⁠ on Trump's hatred of blue America. We discuss why large legitimate protests infuriate Trump-MAGA, why the correct response to their smears is to turn out in force, and why that's likely to happen.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today is day 365 and we are studying the section on Justification and Sanctification: Living in Forgiveness and Healing. 368. What marks a life of sanctification? God calls me to a life marked by gratitude and joy. In gratitude for God's grace in Jesus, I die daily to the desires of my fallen nature. In the joy of knowing that I will become like Jesus, I live each day in service to him. (Luke 9:23–26; Romans 5:1–5; 2 Corinthians 4:5–18; 1 Thessalonians 1:6–10; Titus 2:11–14) We will conclude today by praying The Collect for Transfiguration Sunday found on page 604 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019) and a Prayer for the Increase in the Love of God found on page 114 of To Be a Christian. If you would like to buy or download To Be a Christian, head to anglicanchurch.net/catechism. Produced by Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Madison, MS. Original music from Matthew Clark.

Original show notes: In late June 1973, former White House counsel John Dean delivered startling testimony before the congressional committee investigating Watergate: Richard Nixon had an enemies list. The point, as Dean had written in a 1971 memo, was to "use the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies." The exposure of Nixon's dirty tricks led to his downfall. In 2024, Donald Trump openly campaigned to exact revenge on his enemies. Rather than alienating Republican voters, Trump's call for retribution rallied them. In this episode, historian Ken Hughes compares and contrasts the differences between then and now. Recommended reading: Nixon's official acts against his enemies list led to a bipartisan impeachment effort by Ken Hughes for The Conversation Chasing Shadows: The Nixon Tapes, the Chennault Affair, and the Origins of Watergate by Ken Hughes (book)

Nikolaev. In 2025 we're celebrating the 25th anniversary of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker!

Step back into Neo-Gotham and experience the chilling return of Batman's greatest enemy in a brand-new way.

Tim Durham lives in a 30,000-square-foot Shangri La on the outskirts of Indianapolis, has a $6 million yacht and parties with Playboy models. He claims to have made his fortune as a king of the leveraged buyout, with his company Obsidian Enterprises buying stakes in struggling manufacturing companies, turning them around, and flipping them for big profits. Problem is, the profits that Durham claims to make as a fix-it-and-flip-it king are bogus and he's burning through investor money.

Original air date: September 5, 2025 At a Senate hearing on Thursday, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. got massacred by harsh questioning from Democrats and Republicans. They ⁠called out⁠ his anti-vax views and ⁠condemned⁠ his decapitation of our public health system. But Matt Gertz of Media Matters ⁠noticed something funny⁠: Fox News' coverage bent over backward to portray him as pro-vaccine, as someone working to make vaccines available to Americans, not trying to restrict them. We think that reveals just how shaky President Trump's political position has become amid RFK's reign of destruction. Fox accidentally demonstrated just how deeply split Republicans are over this ongoing anti-vax fiasco—and how desperate Trump's propagandists are to cover up the truth about it. In this segment, Gertz relates more of the evasions he saw on Fox, explains how Fox is struggling to navigate many conflicting currents inside MAGA, and predicts RFK's lunacy is hurtling us toward a much bigger reckoning.
