On this week's show, the hosts begin by diving head-first into The Fall Guy, director David Leitch's love letter to stunts and stunt people. It's a rom-com starring action set pieces, in which stuntman Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling) falls for his director and ex-flame, Jody (Emily Blunt). The film is very telling about the work that goes into making an action flick… but does The Fall Guy ever achieve liftoff? Then, they debate I Saw the TV Glow, Jane Schoenbrun's impressive second feature that chronicles the friendship between Owen and Maddy, and their fascination with the fictional show The Pink Opaque. I Saw the TV Glow obsesses over what's real and not real–and is said to be an allegory for being trans–in a way that's brave and admirable, but often depressing to watch. Finally, the panel is joined by Lydia Polgreen, Opinion columnist for The New York Times and co-host of the Matter of Opinion podcast, to discuss her reporting on the student protests unfolding in New York City. A few of the media mentioned: “Columbia, Free Speech and the Coddling of the American Right” and “The Student-Led Protests Aren't Perfect. That Doesn't Mean They're Not Right.” by Polgreen; “The Takeover,” an on-the-ground report by the staff of the Columbia Daily Spectator for New York Magazine; the Columbia Revolt documentary.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discusses the question that's been roiling TikTok: For women, would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear?  Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dana: “Kindness,” a poem by Naomi Shihab Nye, which she read on the On Being podcast. You can explore more of Shihab Nye's poetry here. Julia: (1) A congratulations to former Los Angeles Times film critic Justin Chang for his Pulitzer Prize. (2) The Work of Art: How Something Comes From Nothing by Adam Moss.  Stephen: Saxophonist Frank Morgan, specifically, his album Listen to the Dawn.

For our final show in 2023, enjoy these recent favorites: Andrew Seligsohn, president of Public Agenda, talks about his group's project to ensure participation in voting and restore trust in democracy ahead of the 2024 elections. Dave Isay, founder and president of StoryCorps, reflects on 20 years of stories produced by StoryCorps. Larry Buchanan, graphics editor and reporter at The New York Times, talks about the "extremely detailed map" he made of New York City neighborhoods, and what the map, neighborhood names and fuzzy (and sharp!) borders say about, as he writes, "gentrification, displacement, inequality, status." Jill Lepore, professor of American History at Harvard University, staff writer at The New Yorker, host of the podcasts The Last Archive and Elon Musk and the author of several books, including These Truths and her latest, The Deadline: Essays (Liveright, 2023), talks about her latest collection of essays, most of which focused on the relationship between America's past and its polarized present. Don't ask Lydia Polgreen, New York Times opinion columnist and co-host of the “Matter of Opinion” podcast, to go on a walk with you. In a column this autumn, she celebrated the "solitary amble" and laments the "social tyranny" of the walking date or meeting. Polgreen made her case, as listeners responded.   These interviews were lightly edited for time and clarity; the original web versions of the interviews are available through these links:  A Plan to Strengthen Democracy in 2024 (Nov. 9) Celebrating 20 Years of StoryCorps (Oct. 23) Where One Neighborhood Ends and Another Begins (Nov. 2) Jill Lepore on the Past and Present, the Personal and Political (Aug. 30) Take A Walk With Me? (Sep 21)

As many publishers zero in on consumer revenue strategies and hardened paywalls, HuffPost is taking a different tack. "Look, I spent 15 years working at The New York Times, which is a fantastic news organization, and I'm thrilled to see them thriving with a subscription model that restricts access to their product," HuffPost editor-in-chief Lydia Polgreen said on this week's episode of the Digiday Podcast. "But I think what we're ending up with is a highly unequal news ecosystem in which the wealthiest, most educated, most spoiled-for-choice news consumer are the best served. I would be very worried about a world in which advertiser-supported, free-to-consumer news just went away. I think that would be a tragic loss." Polgreen discussed the diminishing returns of news aggregation, alternative sources of revenue for HuffPost and why news publishers need to think beyond the Trump administration.

Authors: Aaron C. Miller, PhD; Linnea A. Polgreen, PhD; Elena M. Segre, MD; and Philip M. Polgreen, MD, MPH Podcast: Linnea A. Polgreen, PhD, and Aaron C. Miller, PhD, discuss a new study from the University of Iowa that shows levels of satisfaction derived from food differ among adults who were normal-weight, overweight, and obese and that individuals with obesity get more satisfaction from their food. This quantification of satisfaction from food may help explain why some people eat more than others. July 30, 2019 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jand.2019.05.018)

Lydia Polgreen is editor-in-chief of Huffington Post. Appointed in 2016, she oversees content and direction for the site, which has 170 million readers worldwide. Prior to her current role, she spent 15 years at the New York Times, where she covered conflict, democracy building and development in West Africa. In this in-depth interview, Lydia describes the “enormous responsibility” of upholding the legacy of the iconic brand, recalls how living through a coup in Kenya as a child inspired her to become a journalist, and argues that being a “queer black woman” gives her a stronger insight into diversity issues.

Lydia Polgreen, the editor in chief of HuffPost — the website formerly known as The Huffington Post — talks with Recode's Kara Swisher and Peter Kafka at the 2018 Code Media conference in Huntington Beach, Calif.

HuffPost editor-in-chief Lydia Polgreen recently wrapped up a listening bus tour that made stops in various cities across inland America. On this week's Digiday Podcast, she said that in her many interviews, Donald Trump's name didn't come up. Polgreen talked about how the tour will evolve HuffPost's editorial focus, the results of HuffPost's rebranding and more.

"I think facts and truth are essential to journalism but you need to reckon with emotion. You have to deal with how people feel, otherwise you miss the story." The new editor-in-chief of the renamed HuffPost says she's positioning the site in the spirit of the best of tabloid journalism."The great tabloids were always driven by a sense of outrage, you know a sense of righteous indignation...and had this sensibility of, you know, like, there are people out there that are trying to screw you—and we’re going expose them for it," Lydia Polgreen tells Ben Smith. "The tabloid is fundamentally an emotional form of journalism."Polgreen says she's steering directly into the populist moment, and aiming to write not about, but for, people who feel "screwed" by the existing power structure. She also breaks the news in the interview of a major hire: Jim Rich, who turned the New York Daily News into a confrontational national voice on the 2016 election with a series of front pages mocking, usually, Donald Trump.Polgreen also speaks of her career at the New York Times, about how foreign correspondents were often the first to grasp the power of new media, and of her singular life story — she was raised in Ghana by a Baha'i missionary — and her complicated reaction to being celebrated as the first black lesbian to lead a major publication.Read the full transcript of this conversation.

The Huffington Post's new editor in chief, Lydia Polgreen, talks with Recode's Peter Kafka about turning the liberal news site founded by Arianna Huffington 11 years ago into a destination for a larger audience — including some of Donald Trump's supporters. Polgreen, who spent 15 years at The New York Times before joining HuffPost late last year, said she wants to help liberals, conservatives and everyone in between see how much they have in common. She also talks about why she left the NYT, the gaps between "have and have-not" media consumers, and how she reacted when HuffPost was barred from a White House press briefing.

This interview is one that couldn't have come together as it did any other way. Dave and his family had just moved to California from Minnesota and were likely still unpacking when he came down to talk choppers and life with me. Dave is such an unassuming person. He is calm, easy to talk with, and has had some great experiences in life. These things made this interview a complete pleasure and I think you'll agree that Dave is one of those people that plays his cards close to chest but when he does show his hand, you walk away a better person.Visit Dave at:Web: The Wretched HiveIG: @djp210Music: Wo Fat - The ConjuringHost/Producer: Mike TubbsExecutive Producer: Heather TubbsAll Music is the sole property of the respective owner.

Enseguida: Ingeniería de la Hierba más Verde, Pruebas de emergencia de bacterias, y creando un mercado de predicción de influenza.                                                                              Ingeniería de la Hierba más Verde Los científicos han usado el mapa del genoma de la planta para encontrar al fitocromo, un componente receptor de luz que controla cuando una planta florece, se pone más verde, comienza  a crecer e incluso muere. Este conocimiento podría algún  día revolucionar la agricultura, dándonos la habilidad de poder manipular el ciclo de vida de las cosechas.   Primeramente, los investigadores encontraron una bacteria que contiene una sola versión de estos fitocromos receptores de Luz. Estudiando la proteína de la Bacteria, ellos descubrieron como esta captaba la duración y la intensidad de la Luz, y aprendieron que los fitocromos incluso le dan a las plantas la visión del color.                                             Richard Vierstra de la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison dice que el próximo paso es aprender a manipular los fitocromos en las plantas.  Algún día ellos podrían ser capaces de engañar a algunas plantas y hacerlas que produzcan más frutas y vegetales, o hacer plantas de casa que nunca se pongan marchitas. Además podría ser posible crear un césped que nunca necesite ser cortado. Vierstra dice que los fitocromos controlan la rapidez del crecimiento de la planta. Podría ser posible que algún día se hagan céspedes que permanezcan pequeños y de un verde fuerte, incluso bajo condiciones de sombra.                  Pero todavía no tire el cortador de césped, Vierstra dice que las pruebas no comenzaran todavía hasta dentro de un par de años. Pruebas de emergencia de bacterias Cuando los pacientes buscan cuidados de  emergencia para una infección seria, esto puede tomarles hasta tres días a los laboratorios de un Hospital para identificar la causa microbiana. Charlotte Gaydos, de la Universidad de Medicina de Johns Hopkins dice que una nueva prueba podría hacer la misma función en menos de cuatro horas.   De acuerdo con Gaydos, este ensayo es para diagnósticos rápidos para un paciente que está destinado a un cuarto de emergencia.                                    La prueba usa Tecnología Genética, para buscar una pieza de ADN común a todas las bacterias. Si esta está presente, los doctores pueden descartar otros patógenos microbianos o virales. Entonces pruebas específicas pueden ser realizadas para checar si existen bacterias comunes que causen infecciones mortales como la Meningitis. Gaydos dice que los investigadores han desarrollado pruebas para agentes asociados con Bioterrorismo como Anthrax y la plaga.                                            Identificar rápidamente bacterias específicas mejorará el tratamiento, reducirá el tiempo de búsqueda de los pacientes enfermos y disminuirá las tasas de mortalidad. Y a partir de que los doctores sepan que es lo que están tratando más pronto de lo que ellos lo hagan, ahora se limitará el uso innecesario de antibióticos y ayudará a reducir la resistencia a  los mismos. Estos beneficios no solamente mejorarán el cuidado de la Salud, sino que también reduciran los costos concernientes al cuidado de la salud. El greening de cítricos Hay una enfermedad emergente que ha sido identificada en las poblaciones de perros en veinte estados. La influenza canina, que se descubrió primero en los perros de carrera Greyhound, se cree que es una mutación en el mismo subtipo viral al que los caballos son susceptibles.En las etapas iniciales, la enfermedad se caracteriza por una tos persistente, similar a la que se da en la enfermedad común de los perros, llamada tos Kennel.   Pero al contrario de la influenza, la tos Kennel es una infección bacteriana para la que existe una vacuna.  Cynda Crawford, asistente científico en la Facultad de Veterinaria de la Universidad de Florida, dice que rara vez es mortal y que muchos perros se recuperan de ella sin problemas, sin ninguna complicación del virus de la influenza.Sin embargo, se puede desarrollar una infección bacteriana secundaria: un estudio demuestra que aproximadamente cinco por ciento de los perros afectados por este virus mueren-usualmente porque la infección se convierte en neumonía.La influenza canina es altamente contagiosa y los perros que están en ambientes comunitarios, como en albergues, son especialmente vulnerables.  Crawford dice que un perro con influenza debe tener mucho descanso, debe ser aislado de otros perros, y su condición debe ser vigilada por un veterinario.creando un mercado de predicción de influenza Tradicionalmente los profesionales de la salud realizan pronósticos de la gripe, para determinar como será la próxima temporada y las características específicas de ella y que cantidad de dosis deberían ser manufacturadas. Pero ahora, una estrategia inusual usada por un equipo de científicos, está usando mercados futuros como un modelo de predicción de cuando y donde es más probable que se produzca la gripe.                                                                       Los investigadores de la Universidad de Iowa, han preguntado a doctores, enfermeras y especialistas en enfermedades infecciosas que afectan a Iowa,  para que funcionen como especuladores de mercado. En vez de predecir el precio de los productos, ellos invierten en predecir basado en como ellos creen que la gripe será.  Cada participante se le da 100 dólares para comenzar. El médico Philip Polgreen dice que como el mercado real del futuro, el dinero puede ser ganado o perdido en dependencia de cuantas otras personas predigan cuando y donde la gripe va  a ocurrir.                                  Polgreen dice que diferente a las encuestas, cada vez que alguien participa, el precio cambia, por ello usted acaba teniendo un estimado en tiempo real o probabilidad de toda la probabilidad de que ese evento ocurra.    De acuerdo a Polgreen, la primera temporada del mercado de gripe fue todo un éxito. Los participantes predijeron la actividad de la gripe entre dos y cuatro semanas antes de que esta ocurriera. Su equipo está ahora expandiendo el mercado a Carolina del Norte, y espera eventualmente llevarlo al resto de la nación.
