The drama around the algal bloom in the Reflecting Pool may seem like a shallow issue. But it's part of a much broader pattern as President Trump tries to “beautify” Washington, D.C., and cement his legacy. Host Adam Harris talks to the Atlantic staff writer David Graham about Trump's attempts to remake the city physically, culturally, and politically.

In his classic book How Soccer Explains the World, the Atlantic staff writer Franklin Foer theorized that the sport was a mirror of the world, particularly in its shift from tribalism to interdependence. More than two decades after the book came out, the world is different in many ways, but he says the title still holds true.  Foer joins to discuss the World Cup. Who he's excited to watch. How the global game has changed over the years. And how this year's World Cup offers global audiences a gentler form of nationalism—one that we may not be used to lately, and may indeed learn from. - - -   Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

The Supreme Court will soon decide whether the Trump administration's executive order limiting who can be born an American is constitutional, and whether “all persons born or naturalized in the United States”—save for those who are here under unique circumstances, such as children of foreign dignitaries—are citizens of the union. This week on Radio Atlantic, Adam Harris is joined by Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer to explore birthright citizenship and what it means to be an American.  Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

The most influential poster in the history of art was an ad for a play. It was designed by a broke, unknown illustrator who only got the job because he was the one stuck working over the holidays. His name was Alphonse Mucha, and that single commission — a rush job nobody else wanted — turned him into the father of Art Nouveau. He didn't sit in a studio and find his direction. A customer handed it to him. Want to join Patrick for a live webinar? He hosts one every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Register here: asf.today/webinar That's the heart of this episode: a commission isn't a compromise. It's an idea-generation machine. A client drags you somewhere you'd never have chosen on your own — and every so often, that detour becomes your entire career. It happened to Mucha. It happened to a portrait painter named George Stubbs who took a few horse commissions and ended up the greatest equine painter who ever lived. It happened to a studio photographer named Dorothea Lange the day a government assignment sent her into the migrant camps. But before we get to the good news, we have to clear out the lies. The longer you spend in this business, the more you realize the "sacred truths" of the art world are mostly nonsense — and most of them are really just hobbyist rules wearing a business suit. (If you've heard me draw the hobbyist-vs-business line before, this is where it earns its keep — same line that runs under The Long Game.) In this episode: The Christmas shift that invented Art Nouveau — how Mucha got the job nobody wanted and never looked back Six "sacred truths" of the art business that are complete nonsense — and the one thing wrong with every single one of them "You need a niche before you can start" — why you don't pick your niche; the work reveals it "Good art sells itself" — the $128 of thrift-store junk that resold for $3,612 on stories alone, a $3.5M violin that earned $32 in a subway, and the painter who went from unsold to $2.5 million without changing a brushstroke "Never discount your work" — why that rule is real, why it isn't yours, and what the galleries who preach it actually do behind closed doors The line in the sand: hobby or business? Drucker said a business has exactly one purpose — to create a customer — and in that equation, you don't get the last word. The market does. "Nobody bought it, so I'm a failure" — the lie that makes good artists quit, and why Picasso died holding roughly 45,000 of his own unsold works Why constraints beat the blank canvas — Stravinsky, and the bet that produced Green Eggs and Ham in 50 words The honest catch: when a commission becomes a cage instead of a doorway, and how to tell the difference This week's homework: take the one commission you'd normally turn down — the weird request, the subject you'd never choose, the client who wants something slightly off from your usual. Say yes to it. Then watch where it drags you. Reply or DM me what you learned — I read every single one. Resources mentioned: Art Storefronts — the storefront engine for working artists The Mucha Foundation — the Gismonda poster and the birth of Art Nouveau Significant Objects — the experiment that turned $128 of junk into $3,612 with nothing but stories Pearls Before Breakfast — the Washington Post's Pulitzer-winning Joshua Bell subway story Freakonomics: The Hidden Side of the Art Market — how art is really priced (and why prices "only go up") Related episodes: The Gallery Test — Should Artists List Prices on Their Website? The Long Game — Why Your Website Will Still Be Working in 2055 POD and Samples — What Wyland and Gray Malin Actually Do 20 Ways to Grow Your Email List as an Artist — hobbyist or business, the honest cut So here's the takeaway. If you're a hobbyist, make whatever you want, forever, and be happy — there's no shame in it. But if you want a business, stop waiting for the market to reward your purity, because it never will. Go meet it. Say yes to the commission, the weird job, the thing you'd never have chosen — because that yes creates a customer, which is the only thing that makes you a business, and it just might drag you, like it dragged Mucha off that holiday shift, straight into the work you were put here to make.

Here's my 2008 conversation with ROBERT COLES, child psychiatrist, Harvard Professor, and author of 75 books, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning six volume Children of Crisis. He died June 4 at the age of 97. He spent a lifetime listening to people - often those ignored by others - and told their stories. Coles was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 1981, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998, and the National Humanities Medal in 2001. 

Throughout her career, Nancy Pelosi has known how to get things done: whipping up votes, negotiating bills, and, in what is probably her crowning achievement, pushing through the Affordable Care Act as speaker of the House. At the end of her current term, she plans to retire, after nearly 40 years in Congress. Hanna Rosin recently sat down with Pelosi at the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival, in Seattle, to talk about the midterms, if Democrats could take back Congress, and what exactly she was thinking when she ripped up a speech at the State of the Union.  Also, a special announcement about Radio Atlantic. - - - Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

RTB's sister podcast, Novel Dialogue, spoke recently with Aaron Gwyn. He is the author of four novels: The World Beneath, Wynne's War, and, most recently, two wonderfully linked historical novels, All God's Children, which won the Oklahoma Book award, and The Cannibal Owl. In his conversation with Sean McCann of Wesleyan (A Pinnacle of Feeling: American Literature and Presidential Government and Gumshoe America: Hard-Boiled Crime Fiction and the Rise and Fall of New Deal Liberalism), we learn that Robert Lemmons is a real historical figure and so is Levi English. One way to grasp Gwyn's achievement is to consider the contrast between his durably realist work and Cormac McCarthy's 1985 Blood Meridian. Much as Aaron and Sean admire that novel, McCarthy's characters strike them as monstrous and incredible. How about Charles Portis's True Grit, asks John? Aaron loves it for its ventriloquizing power, and its truth-loving willingness to weave in unsettling back stories like Rooster Cogburn's ties to Quantrill's Rangers, an eerily modern pro-Confederate terrorist paramilitary. In NOvel Dialogue's "signature question," we learn why Aaron's favorite teacher was Robert Hill, Pink-Floyd-loving drummer and perennial inspiration (audio here). Mentioned in this episode: Richard Slotkin's notion of “the man who knows Indians” comes from Gunfighter Nation Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) Herman Melville, Moby Dick William Faulkner, Absalom, Absalom! Toni Morrison, Beloved Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow John Williams, Stoner (but also Butcher's Crossing –-which John loves— and Augustus, which did indeed split the National Book Award (not the Pulitzer) in 1973 with John Barth's Chimera.

The sports journalist Pablo Torre recently won the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for audio reporting for an investigation on his podcast, “Pablo Torre Finds Out.” Torre talks with David Remnick about the challenge of investigative reporting in professional sports—where leagues, owners, players, and sometimes even fans don't welcome hard questions. “As much as I am doing that and urging people to join me in the pool,” he says, “it kind of feels like I'm the guy who is the proverbial turd” in that pool. But as private equity invests massive sums in teams, he says, the work is even more necessary—and that fans do care when misdeeds are revealed.

Feeling like diving into summer with some engaging reads? Listen to this episode in which hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Ellison Weist jump into two books set in and around water—one is a debut that Ellison quite enjoyed, while the other is a dystopian tale. Ellison has praise for the historical war-and-love story in the episode's mix, while the hosting duo is divided over the new novel by the Pulitzer-prize-winning author of Less and Less Is Lost. Sarah is enamored with the “dear” protagonist and his adventures, while Ellison finds the characters too precious and predictable. The novels they discuss:Under Water: Tara MenonUnderlake: Erin L.

"You never know what insight or information you're going to glean from someone, and so I want to be open to surprises. And not have any preconceived notions of what, who this person is, what they're going to tell me, imposing my own values, beliefs, whatever on them, because it's all a discovery," says Pulitzer Prize-winner Barry Meier, whose piece "You Can Run" appears in The Atavist Magazine.Barry Meier is here for another Atavistian chat! Yeah, these have not come out in as timely a manner as I had hoped. The late delay of the “revived” one with Mac Montandon, and having pods that were getting moldy in the can too precedence. Anyway …Barry Meier has won this little award you might have heard of called the, what is it, oh, yes, the Pulitzer Prize as part of a team of reporters in International Reporting for the New York Times. He's also been a finalist for the Pulitzer and a two-time winner of the George Polk Award. He's got a new piece out for The Atavist magazine titled: You Can Run: When their parents ripped two young sisters from their privileged lives, gave them fake names, and took them on the lam, they thought it was because their father was in trouble with the IRS. It would be years before they learned the truth about his life of crime.”He's the author of three books, Pain Killer, which was the first to chronicle the Sackler family and the origin of the opioid epidemic. “The book that started it all,” wrote Patrick Radden Keefe, whose book Empire of Pain was heavily informed by Barry's work. Barry also wrote Spooked and Missing Man. You can learn more about Barry at barryemierbooks.com .

For decades Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates built a public persona as an unrelenting, tech visionary – and later as a global health and climate philanthropist. But that reputation has started to fracture, largely because of one man: Jeffrey Epstein.The partial release of the Epstein files revealed extensive communication between Epstein and Gates, his foundation, and people who worked for him. On Wednesday, Gates testified before congress in a closed door hearing. In his opening statement, he said that he “never witnessed nor had any indication that Epstein was engaged in ongoing criminal conduct”. He was unequivocal that he has never victimized anyone.Today, guest host Aaron Wherry, speaks with Emily Glazer, a Pulitzer prize winning enterprise reporter with The Wall Street Journal who's been covering Gates and his connection with Epstein for years.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Picture this: a crumbling Italian mansion in the Tuscan hills, an eccentric aristocrat, sun-soaked lunches, too much wine and a house humming with secrets. That’s the delightful world into which we’re heading today as we talk to writer Andrew Sean Greer, whose new novel, Villa Coco, is loosely inspired by his own time at an Italian estate around a famous Baroness. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less also joins us to discuss his life in Italy, the pleasures of the charm novel, and the one piece of travel advice he always comes back to. Today’s episode is hosted by books editor Melanie Kembrey.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The MAGA movement has fully embraced masculinism, which The Atlantic's staff writer Helen Lewis defines in her cover story this month as “a movement to fight back against the advances of feminism and reassert the primacy of men.” Democrats have a more complicated relationship with it. After the last presidential election, when Donald Trump made inroads with young men, even those of color, some Democrats began wondering whether their party did indeed have a man problem. This campaign season, one Democrat who seems to have answered that call is Graham Platner, who won the primary in Maine this week and may be key to the party's chances of winning the Senate. But several women described “toxic” relationships with Platner, including one who said he “could be rough with her.” Platner's campaign disputed any claims of physical intimidation or altercations. In Texas's U.S. Senate race, manliness has become even more explicit. Republican attacks on the Democratic nominee James Talarico rely on all manner of terms that effectively mean “unmanly”: low-T, transgender, secretly a woman, gay, man-child, and—God forbid—vegan. Democrats responded to these attacks with a photo of Talarico eating a turkey leg. This week, Lewis discusses how masculinism is playing out in American politics.  - - - Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating, scandalous, and world-changing history of journalism. We explore how early newspapers fueled revolutions, how media tycoons like Hearst and Pulitzer invented sensational "yellow journalism" to drive profits, and how a fearless group of investigative reporters known as the "Muckrakers" exposed corporate monopolies and horrific working conditions to change American law forever. We also uncover the dark side of early public relations—including how PR experts rebranded the KKK in the 1920s, and how investigative journalists fought to expose them. Finally, we break down the philosophical debates of the broadcast era and look at the massive digital disruption that is reshaping who tells the news today.   theredeyereport.com

For most of his second term, Donald Trump has successfully conveyed the message that defiance is not an option. Republicans who ignored that message generally wound up out of office, so they largely toed the line. Lately, though, that seems to be changing.  Republicans recently pushed back against the president's proposed “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” and the administration ultimately scrapped it. Trump asked for nearly $1 billion in security funding for his ballroom, and Senate Republicans forced him to abandon that plan as well. Perhaps most stunning, some House Republicans this week broke ranks to rebuke Trump's war in Iran, directing him to withdraw U.S. forces or win approval from Congress. The seeds of mutiny are detectable. But also the president still has the strength and support to suppress them. So who is willing to take the risk, and who isn't?  On this week's “Radio Atlantic”: Indiana State Senator Jim Buck, a pro-Trump Republican who did not vote for his state's redistricting plan and faced an onslaught of what he calls “lies” and threats as a result; also the Atlantic staff writer Russell Berman on the dueling forces of Trump's revenge campaign and growing party defiance. - - - Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

They'll tell you Hearst was a newspaperman — a rich boy who sold headlines. That's the myth. And the myth is doing exactly what it was built to do, which is keep you from looking any closer.Because the truth is faster than that. And darker. And a lot more precise.In 1898, two men in New York — William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer — were fighting a circulation war that had crossed the line from exaggeration into fabrication. They invented atrocities. They bribed sources. They ran illustrations of events that never happened. They funded their own publicity stunts and then covered them as news. And when the USS Maine exploded in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898, killing 266 American sailors, they had the story they had been waiting for. Within weeks, they had pushed a reluctant president and a divided Congress into a war that turned the United States into an imperial power for the first time in its history.This isn't conspiracy. It isn't ideology. It's architecture — and the architecture they built in 1898 is still operating right now.In this video:→ Joseph Pulitzer arrives in America at 17 with no money, no English, and no connections — and ends up owning the tallest building in New York→ William Randolph Hearst inherits his father's mining fortune and uses it to wage a circulation war Pulitzer couldn't possibly win→ The Yellow Kid: the cartoon strip whose name became the term for an entire era of American journalism→ The Olivette, the Cisneros rescue, and the USS Maine — three case studies in how to fabricate, escalate, and weaponize a story→ The newsboys strike of 1899: the only group of people who ever forced Hearst and Pulitzer to back down→ Why the playbook they invented in 1897 is now running through every social media algorithm in the worldSubscribe to Hidden Forces in History for civilizational autopsies of the empires, institutions, and patterns shaping the world we live in now.00:00 The Myth and What Actually Happened01:17 Two Men Built This Machine01:38 Joseph Pulitzer: The Immigrant Who Bought The World04:42 William Randolph Hearst: Unlimited Money, No Patience06:13 Park Row: The Circulation War Begins08:14 The Yellow Kid and the Birth of Yellow Journalism09:46 The Olivette: The Playbook Goes Live11:35 The Evangelina Cisneros Rescue13:09 The USS Maine14:20 "You Furnish the Pictures, I'll Furnish the War"15:27 1898: America Becomes an Empire17:35 The Newsboys Strike18:45 Same Playbook, Different Century

On this episode we're joined by Dominic Di Palermo. Dominic just graduated from Western Kentucky University where he worked on both the student newspaper and the campus lifestyle magazine. He's also an intern at the Chicago Tribune and was a contributor to a project that won the Tribune a 2026 Pulitzer Prize for local reporting. The award was "For its powerful coverage of the Trump administration's militarized immigration sweep of the city that described in vivid, muscular prose how the siege-like incursion of ICE agents unified Chicagoans in resistance."Dominic talked about his variety of experiences with photography, from taking pictures of a young girl being taken into custody, to shooting local events and sports. He explained why empathy is an important trait for any photojournalist and he provided tips for aspiring journalists.Dominic's salutes: Photographers for the Boston Globe, Seattle Times, and those in Washington D.C.Photo of the girl being taken into custodyhttps://www.instagram.com/p/DPUcbWyDoCz/?img_index=1Photo of symphony conductorhttps://www.instagram.com/p/DHBgAjpMnKC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Photo of an athlete screaminghttps://www.instagram.com/p/DEk_GPaSxHL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Subscribe to our newsletter hereYou can find all our episode guides for teachers and professors here,Please support your local public radio station: adoptastation.orgThank you for listening.

What are the implications for girls and young women of Alan Milburn's review for the Government into rising levels of inactivity among 16 to 24-year-olds? There are currently just under a million young people in this age range dubbed NEETs because they are not in education, employment or training.

“History repeats itself,” the saying goes. Or, as another saying goes, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” There’s also “History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes.” Together these sayings suggest the value of history in our culture and our belief that it can help us understand the present. This hour, we’re talking about history and our current political moment. This episode is the second featuring a live event with Pulitzer Prize-winning historians Jon Meacham and Jill Lepore. If you missed the first episode, don't worry— this discussion will stand on its own. The event was the final discussion of The Connecticut Forum’s 34th season. GUESTS: Jill Lepore: the David Woods Kemper ’41 Professor of American History at Harvard University and Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. She is also a staff writer at The New Yorker and bestselling author. Her books include These Truths: A History of the United States and We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution. Jon Meacham: Distinguished Visiting Professor at Vanderbilt University. His bestselling books include And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle and the Pulitzer prize-winning American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House.

Send us Fan Mail Episode 40 of the Great American Novel Podcasts discusses one of the great American novels of the Twentieth Century, one that is perhaps more significant and relevant now than it has been in quite some time.  In this episode your feckless hosts discuss All the King's Men, Robert Penn Warren's 1946 Pulitzer Prize winning novel.  Warren tells the story of Willie Stark, a country boy turned crusading attorney turned backroom deal-making, power-wielding governor of a southern state during the Depression era, whose integrity is battered by the prevailing winds of need and corruption and ambition. Stark is inspired by and associated with Louisiana Governor and US Senator Huey “Kingfish” Long.  One of the questions asked by your hosts is whether or not readers are better served by casting aside the real life inspiration and focusing instead on the stories of Stark as well as of Jack Burden, the former reporter turned fixer, and his longtime friends Adam and Anne Stanton. Warren is the only writer who has received the Pulitzer for both fiction and poetry; he was also a winner of the National Book Award and was a Rhodes Scholar as well as a winner of both the Guggenheim Genius Grant and the MacArthur Fellowship.  Mini-clips of trailers from All the King's Men, 1949, dir. Robert Rossen, and All the King's Men, 2006, Steven Zallian.  Canon fodder for this episode Is Inman Majors' 2009 novel, The Millionaires.   All opinions are the hosts' own and do not reflect the points of view of their employers, publishers, relatives, pets, or accountants. All show music is by Lobo Loco.  The intro song is “Old Ralley”; the intermission is “The First Moment,” and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.”  For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/.

Over the years, we have seen and discussed how horror has become more acceptable in the mainstream. This week we talk about two of the most striking examples of this. One is interesting while the other is just straight up weird. But both have us interested. The idea of a nun who has lost her faith is not strange for an exorcism movie. Having the first introduction of said nun has her completely nude and coked up after a threesome is a little different. After showing off this incredibly buff nun, the awesomely titled Speed Demon takes off from there. The film is an example of less being more. It does not reinvent the wheel and tells the simple story of a person trying to overcome their personal demons in order to defeat a literal one. And it works thanks to its setting and quick pace. But it is in the closing moments that Speed Demon truly shines. In a whirlwind of revelations, the most powerful people in the world become entrenched in Sister Lu's world. It also sets up the promise of what could be an exciting franchise. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

Not long after U.S. commandos swiftly extracted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flew him to the United States, Donald Trump set his sights on the next target: Cuba. Some administration officials seem interested in Cuba's nickel and cobalt deposits. Secretary of State Marco Rubio shares the dream of many Cuban exiles for regime change on the island. Although, from the Cuban perspective, the prospect of the U.S. bringing regime change is fraught, coming after centuries of conflict and colonial extraction.  On this week's Radio Atlantic: Host Hanna Rosin speaks with Atlantic staff writer Vivian Salama, and with historian Ada Ferrer, author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Cuba: An American History, as well as the new book Keeper of My Kin: Memoir of an Immigrant Daughter. - - -Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

In this episode we feature one of the giants of story telling and of long form journalism, Tracy Kidder. Kidder passed away at the age of 80 in March 2026, and so we are sharing this recording from 2011 as a way for us to celebrate his life and work, and all that he has given to readers. Spanning over 50 years, Kidder's career began at the Iowa Writers Workshop where he enrolled in 1974 after military service in the Vietnam war. He began with aspirations to be a novelist but soon found that he had talent for seeing the through line of the lives of the people all around him. And so for his entire storied career, Kidder wrote compellingly about ordinary people from all walks of life, including carpenters, home builders, computer programmers, Haitian doctors, schoolchildren, and nursing home residents  – just to name a few. Along the way he earned a Pulitzer, a National Book Award, and the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, for his ground breaking books like The Soul of a New Machine and Mountain Beyond Mountains. His body of work included dozens and dozens of articles, and twelve books, which came to redefine an entire genre of nonfiction. He joined us in 2011 after the publication of a book called Strength In What Remains, and he tells the story of learning to write in Iowa, and then his apprenticeship turned life-long professional relationship with Richard Todd who was one of the Atlantic Magazine's famed editors. It's an extraordinary story in which Kidder reveals his mistakes, uncertainties, and vulnerabilities as much as his successes. And he does so with self effacing humor and quiet wisdom. This is a must-listen for every aspiring writer, and for every reader who wants deeper insight into the creative process and to understand how many of the stories that have come to define modern journalism were made. Tracy Kidder graduated from Harvard and the University of Iowa. He won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Award, and many other literary prizes. He is the author of Rough Sleepers, A Truck Full of Money, Good Prose (with Richard Todd), Strength in What Remains, My Detachment, Mountains Beyond Mountains, Home Town, Old Friends, Among Schoolchildren, House, and The Soul of a New Machine. Kidder passed away in 2026.

On this episode we're joined by Ginny Monk. Ginny is a reporter covering children's issues and housing for the non-profit Connecticut Mirror and along with three others just won a Pulitzer Prize. Wrote the Pulitzer Board: "For an impressive series exposing how the state's unique towing laws favored unscrupulous companies that overcharged residents, prompting swift and meaningful consumer protections."Ginny previously worked for a few different places, including 4 years with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. She is a native of Pencil Bluff, Arkansas and a graduate of the University of Arkansas.Ginny talked about the work she did as part of a team covering those towing stories. She also discussed a piece she wrote over several years covering foster adoption. She shared examples of the work she did and her writing process.The Pulitzer serieshttps://www.pulitzer.org/winners/dave-altimari-and-ginny-monk-connecticut-mirror-and-sophie-chou-and-haru-coryne-propublicaThe Foster Adoption storyhttps://ctmirror.org/2025/12/02/ct-foster-parents-rights-case/Ginny's Salute: Arkansas Press WomenSubscribe to our newsletter hereYou can find all our episode guides for teachers and professors here,Please support your local public radio station: adoptastation.orgThank you for listening.

Universities tried to be all things to all people. That model may not be working anymore. Adam Harris is joined by Ian Bogost, Atlantic contributing writer and a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, to discuss the state of higher education. On campuses across the country, students are graduating into a job market with questions on their mind. What kind of career is stable in 2026? Will AI make it even harder to get an entry-level job? Was my education worth all the money it cost? For universities that are already facing federal funding cuts and enrollment declines, the identity crisis their graduates are facing is an extension of their own: Is the purpose of college just to get a good job, or is there more to it?  Colleges have been in rough spots before, but is it finally time to start rethinking their entire model? - - - Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Time is running out for 17-year-old Jay Gardiner: He's trapped underwater in the body of a sperm whale with just one hour of oxygen left. This not-so-typical situation is the premise for Whalefall, the 2023 thriller from Daniel Kraus. Kraus won a 2026 Pulitzer for Angel Down, his genre-bender told in a single sentence. But Whalefall experiments with structure through its chapters, their shrinking length mimicking Jay's frantic gasps for air. In today's episode, we revisit Kraus' conversation with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe, where they discuss Whalefall and how its meaning expands beyond the aquatic.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

There is an ongoing battle for House seats. And it's playing out not so much in elections but in congressional maps. The Atlantic staff writers Russell Berman, who's been covering the redistricting wars for the past several months, and Vann R. Newkirk II, who's long followed the Voting Rights Act (and now its demise), explain how this new era of tit-for-tat gerrymandering is different than ever before. --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Last year, when Columbia University found itself embroiled by anti-war protests and fighting with the Trump administration, journalist Jodi Kantor was invited to speak at the school's commencement.“My friends actually tried to stop me. Like, ‘Don't do it. Call in sick,'” remembers Kantor.The Pulitzer prize-winner did wind up giving that speech. And that experience led her to write a new book about how young people can find their life's work. We sit down with Kantor to talk about ‘How to Start.'Find more of our programs online.
