The second half exposes the explosive fallout from RFK Jr.'s decision to remove the COVID vaccine from the CDC schedule for healthy children and pregnant women, sparking outrage in mainstream circles. Featuring viral clips and underreported congressional testimony, the episode raises urgent questions about transparency, freedom of speech, and the real consequences of rushed public health policy.

In this punchy episode of Mark and Pete, we tackle three explosive issues shaping the UK today. First, we dive into the shocking statistic that 1 in 10 Britons have no savings, revealing the fragile state of personal finance and what it means for national resilience. With household budgets tighter than ever, are we heading for a savings crisis? Next, we commemorate and critique the legacy of Margaret Thatcher as her 100th birthday is marked with celebratory events in Grantham. Love her or loathe her, the Iron Lady remains one of Britain's most divisive political figures. We explore how Thatcherism reshaped the UK—and whether the celebration is deserved or divisive. Finally, we cast our nets into the stormy waters of the UK-EU fishing rights dispute. With the Brexit fishing deal expiring soon, tensions rise over quotas, sovereignty, and national identity. Will British fishermen be left high and dry while Brussels demands more access? As always, Mark and Pete bring wit, wisdom, and a splash of theological insight to today's most pressing issues.

Camila Borja is a User Research expert with almost 15 years of experience, driving insights for companies like Zalando, SumUp, and Itaú. She leads strategic projects, trains teams in research methods, and has worked with global brands such as J&J, Sanofi, and Disney. With a degree in Public Relations and Public Opinion, Camila is a dedicated problem-solver who bridges research and business to deliver impactful results.In our conversation, we discuss:* What “research theater” really means and how it undermines the value of user insights across organizations.* The risks of continuous discovery becoming a buzzword-driven process with little depth or direction.* The internal conflict researchers face when stakeholders ask to bury insights that don't fit the roadmap.* Why junior researchers are especially vulnerable to being pulled into performative work and how to protect against it.* How senior researchers can shift into a more strategic role by partnering with stakeholders and driving conversations, not just insights.Some takeaways:* Research theater can distort data and erode trust. Camila explains that research theatre often arises when teams mimic the motions of good research without actually delivering depth or insight. Whether it's cherry-picked data, rushed usability tests, or stakeholder-directed outcomes, the result is the same: decisions based on illusion rather than reality. The impact is compounded because it corrupts the foundation, the data. that other decisions rely on.* Continuous discovery needs rigor, not just speed. While continuous discovery can be powerful, Camila argues that it often turns into a performance, such as 30-minute calls each week with no clear direction, biased questions, and very little impact. Without intention and structure, these rituals drain researcher time and produce low-value outcomes, threatening the credibility of the practice.* Junior researchers are often set up to perform, not investigate. Early-career researchers can easily be pulled into validation work or asked to execute a process without context. They may lack the confidence or experience to challenge requests. Study the foundational theory, ask why relentlessly, and avoid blindly accepting stakeholder requests that don't serve users.* To escape the theatrics, researchers must become business partners. Senior researchers should step beyond insight delivery and into the role of strategic advisors. That means building relationships, staying close to decisions, and understanding stakeholder motivations. Camila urges researchers to ask what's driving decisions and find the middle ground between user needs and business realities.* Avoiding theater always starts with asking “why?” Whether it's a stakeholder request for a marketplace feature or a directive to skip over certain findings, researchers must stay curious. Asking why isn't just for participants, it's also for ourselves and our teams. This curiosity is what transforms research from performance into progress.Where to find Camila:* Dicas da Camila Youtube* LinkedIn* MediumInterested in sponsoring the podcast?Interested in sponsoring or advertising on this podcast?

Does public opinion matter in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Do leaders pay attention to the changing views of their respective constituencies? Each situation presents unique challenges for analysts and scholars trying to answer these questions. And those challenges have grown exponentially more complicated in the wake of October 7, 2023, and the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.  How have Israeli and Palestinian attitudes evolved toward their leaders and the region, one another, the United States' role, and the war?  And how do Israelis and Palestinians on all sides of the divide imagine their  future, particularly whether there's a pathway out of the ongoing crisis and any prospects for ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?   Join Aaron David Miller as he engages in conversation with Dahlia Scheindlin, a political strategist and a public opinion researcher, and Khalil Shikaki, the director of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, two analysts and pollsters of Israeli and Palestinian politics and public opinion, on these and other issues on the next Carnegie Connects.

Most people think about abortion in the context of the country they live in. In the U.S., abortion fuels debate, elections, and legislation. In China, abortion is often treated as a settled issue. Why and how do abortion attitudes vary across the world?  In her new book, Fetal Positions: Understanding Cross-National Public Opinion about Abortion (Oxford UP, 2025), Dr. Amy Adamczyk examines the factors influencing cross-national abortion opinion, rates and individual abortion decisions. She investigates the relationship between attitudes and laws, and explores how personal and national characteristics shape views on abortion. Using large-scale public opinion surveys, interviews from two case study countries, and an analysis of newspaper articles from over 40 countries, she argues that cross-national differences in public opinion can largely be explained based on overall levels of religious belief, economic and educational development, type of government and government history, and gender inequality.
