On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death & Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? New episodes of The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance are every Tuesday and Friday wherever you get your podcasts.

The Stringer : The man who took the photo là một cuộc điều tra. Phóng viên ảnh người Mỹ Gary Knight là nhân vật trung tâm. Tất cả bắt nguồn từ một tuyên bố của Carl Robinson, nguyên là nhân viên của hãng thông tấn Agence Press ở Sàigon năm 1972. Nick Ut hay Nguyễn Thành Nghệ là tác giả bức ảnh Em Bé Napalm ? « Vài lời về một trong những tấm ảnh nổi tiếng nhất trong lịch sử của các phóng viên chiến trường từ 50 năm qua. Đó là hình ảnh một bé gái bị phỏng nặng chạy thoát sau một trận dội bom … Tác giả bức ảnh được cho là Nick Ut, phóng viên ảnh của hãng thông tấn Mỹ AP… Nhưng nếu như người chụp tấm Em Bé Napalm lại không phải là ông ấy thì sao ? » Nhà báo người Pháp Nicolas Poincaré hôm 11/10/2025 đã giới thiệu về phim tài liệu The Stringer, hành trình đi tìm sự thật về tác giả bức ảnh Em Bé Napalm. Phim được được trình chiếu trong khuôn khổ chương trình tuần lễ thành phố Bayeux vùng Calvados-Normandie vinh danh các phóng viên chiến trường. Ở Pháp, phim được trình chiếu trên nền tảng phim trực tuyến Netflix từ ngày 28/11/2025. Tất cả bắt nguồn từ một phát biểu của Carl Robinson, cựu nhân viên của hãng thông tấn Agence Press ở Sài Gòn năm 1972 với Gary Knight. Nick Ut hay Nguyễn Thành Nghệ là tác giả bức ảnh Em Bé Napalm ? Trong cuộc điều tra về tác giả bức ảnh còn được biết đến dưới tên gọi The Terror of War Gary Kngiht đã tìm đến rất nhiều người, tìm kiếm những ai từng có mặt ở Trảng Bàng, ngày 08/06/1972. Hai người vắng mặt trong phim là Em bé Napalm bà Phan Thị Kim Phúc và phóng viên ảnh, Nick Ut. Trong đoạn phim tài liệu năm 1972, một phóng viên người Mỹ nhận định « Sau hai lượt bay, rõ ràng là các máy bay ném bom Skyraiders đã chọn nhầm mục tiêu … và trong đợt bay thứ ba, họ thả 4 quả bom napalm, trúng vào thường dân và các quân nhân ở Trảng Bàng ». Trước ống kính truyền hình và báo chí quốc tế, bất chợt, một cô bé 9 tuổi, trần truồng, bị bỏng nặng, cùng nhiều đứa trẻ từ ngôi làng này hoảng loạn chạy ra quốc lộ : Vừa chạy vừa la khóc, đau đớn, hoảng loạn. Bức ảnh Em Bé Napalm ngày 08/06/1972 trở thành biểu tượng của « địa ngục chiến tranh Việt Nam », đi vòng quanh thế giới, được bình chọn là « hình ảnh trong năm » và đoạt giải thưởng Pulitzer. Gần nửa thế kỷ, phóng viên ảnh Nick Ut được cho là người đã ghi được khoảnh khắc nói lên sự ghê rợn của chiến tranh. Trong những thước phim đã bạc màu thời gian, Nick Út từng thuật lại với báo chí quốc tế là ông đã trông thấy Kim Phúc chạy ra khỏi ngôi làng vừa bị dội bom như thế nào và đã đưa cô đến bệnh viện. Thế nhưng, The Stringer ra mắt công chúng lần đầu tiên trong khuôn khổ liên hoan Sundance hồi tháng 1/2025 đã nêu lên một câu hỏi bất ngờ. Đạo diễn Bảo Nguyễn đã sớm được nhà sản xuất và đoàn phim mời cùng đồng hành trong cuộc điều tra về tác giả bức ảnh nổi tiếng nói trên. Trả lời RFI Việt ngữ trước khi The Stringer được công chiếu tại Bayeux tháng 10/2025 đạo diễn Bảo Nguyễn giải thích vì sao anh đã nhận lời với phóng viên ảnh Gary Knight và đoàn phim : Với anh, theo đuổi và tìm kiếm sự thật phải là một ưu tiên.   Bảo Nguyễn : Bộ phim bắt đầu bằng cuộc điều tra với phóng viên ảnh Gary Knight và đã được dựng lên cùng với Terri Lichstein và Fionna Turner. Điểm khởi đầu là một thư điện tử của Carl Robinson, cựu biên tập ảnh của hãng tin AP tại văn phòng Sài Gòn. Ông ấy đã thú nhận với Gary Knight và thế là nhóm làm phim bắt đầu mở cuộc điều tra. Họ đã liên hệ với tôi khá sớm vì tôi là một nhà làm phim tài liệu. Cá nhân tôi cũng đang cân nhắc liệu mình có muốn thực hiện bộ phim này hay không, bởi như chị nói, bức ảnh Em Bé Napalm là cả một biểu tượng .. Tuy nhiên tôi nghĩ, với tư cách một người tiếp nhận báo chí – tôi không phải nhà báo, tôi là một nhà làm phim – ngành báo chí thôi thúc chúng ta luôn nêu lên những nghi vấn và luôn đi tìm sự thật. Khi chưa biết cuộc điều tra sẽ dẫn đến đâu, tôi nghĩ điều quan trọng đối với chúng tôi, đặc biệt là với tôi, là ghi lại quá trình điều tra, khám phá mọi góc nhìn khác nhau của ngày hôm đó -ngày mà tác giả đã chụp được bức ảnh Em Bé Napalm ở Trảng Bàng và tìm hiểu xem rằng, ai có thể đã chụp bức ảnh đó nếu như tác giả không phải là Nick Ut. RFI : Từ chiến dịch Tràng Bàng đến nay đã hơn 50 năm trôi qua. Trong quá trình làm phim anh và đoàn phim đã phải vượt qua những khó khăn nào ? Làm sao tìm lại được các nhân chứng từng có mặt ở ngôi làng này ngày 08/06/1972 ? Bảo Nguyễn : Vâng, tôi nghĩ một trong những thách thức lớn là bức ảnh được chụp đã hơn 50 năm trước. Rất nhiều nhân chứng trên hiện trường ngày hôm đó nay không còn nữa. Nhiều lần tôi cũng tự hỏi vì sao vấn đề lại được đặt ra sau 50 năm. Vì sao Carl Robinson lại lên tiếng? Vì sao phóng viên tự do Nguyễn Thành Nghệ chưa bao giờ công khai tiết lộ điều này ? Có rất nhiều câu hỏi mà tôi phải tự tìm hiểu và giải đáp trước khi chúng tôi thật sự bắt đầu hành trình làm phim. Trong quá trình thực hiện bộ phim tài liệu này, tôi dần hiểu rằng, giống như nhiều người tị nạn phải rời bỏ quê hương, họ không có điều kiện hay không hoàn toàn có quyền tự định đoạt để nói về những  quá khứ, bởi vì mối quan tâm hàng đầu của họ là tìm kế sinh nhai, bảo đảm cuộc sống trong một môi trường mới. Trước hết họ phải chăm lo cho gia đình, cho nên họ không nói về quá khứ nữa. Và bây giờ, trong quá trình làm phim, tôi hiểu rằng đó là một trong những lý do ông Nghệ đã không thể lên tiếng, cũng như một người đảm trách phầm âm thanh cho đài NBC hôm đó, trước công chúng, ông này cũng chưa bao giờ kể về những gì đã diễn ra ở Trảng Bàng hôm 08/06/1972. Giờ đây mọi người mới hỏi : Tại sao đến 53 năm sau mới lại đặt ra câu hỏi ai là tác giả bức ảnh Em Bé Napalm. Khi đặt mình vào hoàn cảnh của ông Nghệ, bạn sẽ hiểu rằng họ cảm thấy là họ không có quyền hay không đủ tư cách để nói ra sự thật, nói ra những gì họ đã phải trải qua. Carl Robinson phóng viên của AP cũng vậy. Ông ta đã phải chăm sóc gia đình và không muốn mất việc. Nhìn dưới góc độ này, mọi người sẽ hiểu vì sao họ không lên tiếng. Và dĩ nhiên, việc cố gắng khai mở một câu chuyện và sự thật đã xảy ra hơn 50 năm trước là điều rất khó. Nhưng tôi nghĩ đội ngũ nhà báo đã hoàn thành bổn phận của họ : theo đuổi sự thật và đặt ra những câu hỏi cần thiết. Chúng tôi huy động được các nhà báo Việt Nam tại chỗ, và đây là những người đã đóng vai trò then chốt giúp chúng tôi tìm được những nhân chứng từng có mặt ở Trảng Bàng năm 1972. Là một nhà báo, chị có thể hiểu những khó khăn trong việc nghiên cứu và tìm kiếm nhân chứng. Tôi rất tôn trọng các nhà báo trong bộ phim và mức độ chuyên nghiệp của họ khi kết nối được với những người mà suốt 50 năm họ đã im lặng về chuyện ở Trảng Bàng. Các cộng tác viên ở Việt Nam đã gọi rất nhiều cuộc điện thoại, hỏi han mọi người, gõ cửa từng nhà. Theo nhiều cách, đó là lời tri ân đối với tinh thần báo chí đúng theo nghĩa của nó.   RFI : The Stringer ra mắt công chúng lần đầu vào tháng 1/2025 ở liên hoan phim Sundance. Công chúng đã đón nhân phim này như thế nào ? Bảo Nguyễn : Chúng tôi rất vinh dự khi được trình chiếu phim tài liệu The Stringer trên khắp thế giới và như chị vừa nói, lần đầu ở Sundance, rồi tháng 10/2025 là tại thị trấn Bayeux. Sau đó là trên nền tảng truyền hình Netflix. Tại liên hoan phim Sundance, nhiều người đến gặp tôi và nói lời cảm ơn. Rất nhiều người nói rằng họ cảm ơn vì đã kể câu chuyện của ông Nghệ – một câu chuyện chưa bao giờ được nói ra suốt nhiều năm. Khán giả cũng đã cảm ơn vì chúng tôi đã dám mạo hiểm theo đuổi sự thật. Tại Bayeux sự kiện dành để vinh danh các phóng viên chiến trường, chị sẽ có dịp trao đổi với Gary Knight và Fiona Turner, nhưng tôi đã nghe rất nhiều người bày tỏ ngưỡng mộ, cho rằng cả hai đã thật dũng cảm khi thực hiện bộ phim này. RFI : Sau The Stringer dự án kế tiếp của đạo diễn Bảo Nguyễn là gì  ? Bảo Nguyễn : Vâng, cảm ơn chị đã hỏi. Bộ phim tiếp theo của tôi rất khác với The Stringer. Tôi đang chuẩn bị làm phim về Jimi Hendrix, nghệ sĩ guitar rock huyền thoại. Phim này sẽ tập trung vào một giai đoạn cụ thể trong cuộc đời của ông khi sống ở Luân Đôn, vào thời điểm đầu sự nghiệp. Đương nhiên, thế giới của Hendrix hoàn toàn khác với The Stringer, nhưng tôi cảm thấy mình thật sự may mắn khi có thể kể lại những câu chuyện như vậy. RFI : Thành thật cảm ơn Bảo Nguyễn dành cho RFI tiếng Việt buổi nói chuyện hôm nay. Chương trình được thu âm trước khi phim ra mắt khán giả tại Pháp. Về phần nhiếp ảnh gia Nick Ut, trả lời nhà báo Thanh Phương nhân dịp được mời đến dự liên hoan ảnh Visa de l'Image tại thành phố Perpignan, miền nam nước Pháp hồi mùa hè vừa qua, ông cho biết đã xem phim The Stringer và khẳng định lại ông là tác giả bức ảnh Em Bé Napalm. Bất luận ai mới là tác giả thực thụ của Em Bé Napalm, một trong những bức ảnh nổi tiếng nhất về chiến tranh trên thế giới của thế kỷ 20, phim The Stringer trước hết là một cuộc điều tra nghiêm túc : Gary Knight và đoàn phim đã không quản công tìm kiếm các nhân chứng, họ còn huy động cả những đội ngũ chuyên gia từ Mỹ, từ Luân Đôn hay Paris …. để đi tìm sự thật… Trong thời đại mà sự thật thường bị bóp méo, chỉ riêng nỗ lực này cũng đủ mang lại giá trị cho bộ phim tài liệu nói về một phóng viên ảnh tự do : The Stringer.

As Treasury Secretary, former Federal Reserve Chairwoman and Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, Janet Yellen is one the most powerful woman in American economic history. Award-winning economics writer and author Jon Hilsenrath joins with insights about her life and work from his book, Yellen: The Trailblazing Economist Who Navigated an Era of Upheaval. He shares how she navigated the sexism in her industry and in politics, her unconventional partnership in marriage and work with Nobel Laureate George Akerlof and why she didn't always "lean in."More about Jon Hilsenrath: He is a senior writer for the Wall Street Journal, where he has been since 1997, reporting from Hong Kong, New York, and Washington, DC. He was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2014 for his coverage of the Federal Reserve; part of a team of 2009 Pulitzer finalists for coverage of the global financial crisis; and contributed on-the-scene reporting from the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, which helped the WSJ win a Pulitzer in 2002.

It's not quite accurate to say that Hester Kaplan's father Justin Kaplan was a man of few words because Justin Kaplan was a man of many. His first book, a biography of Mark Twain published in 1966, won both the Pulitzer and the National Book Award, a debut that ensured Kaplan would enjoy a long and prestigious career as an author and editor. It was an idyllic life in Cambridge, Massachusetts, that he shared with his wife Anne Bernays, also a novelist, and their three daughters.But Hester doesn't remember her father ever looking her in the eyes or letting any of his three kids call him ‘Dad,' not out of any cruelty or neglect, but more of a mysterious inability to go there. Hester remembers the steady clickety clack of his typing behind the study door as a child as he wrote, his quiet retreat in a household filled with estrogen, and craved the connection over his own memories of growing up that were never revealed.Even after Hester became an author herself, she had never read any of her father's work - nor had he read hers. But after his death in 2014, Hester embarked on a new book, TWICE BORN: Finding My Father in the Margins of Biography (available now), wherein she biographs the biographer, unearthing not only the parallels between Joe/Justin's interior life and those of the literary giants he memorialized, but also finds intimacy in her memories of a surprisingly tender man who eschewed sentimentality but nevertheless always had a chestnut for the people he loved.

Debut novelist Eileen Lynch discusses her Chicago-set novel "Splenditude" and its mental health themes, plus a classic 2011 interview with Pulitzer winner William Kennedy

November is a month when communities around the world commemorate the Holodomor–Stalin's genocide famine in Ukraine that, in 1933, starved millions to death, the vast majority of them Ukrainians. Conservative estimates place the death toll at 3.9 million. During the famine, a death certificate listed the cause of death simply as "Ukrainian." In the years leading up to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine today, Vladimir Putin's KGB dictatorship revived the cult of mass-murdering dictator Joseph Stalin–producing propaganda textbooks, putting up Stalin statues, and outlawing acknowledgment of the fact that Stalin helped launch World War II by invading Poland two weeks after Nazi Germany, then holding joint military parades with the Nazis. Stalin monuments and billboards are today in regions of Ukraine under Russian occupation. Back in the early 1930s, as Stalin laid the groundwork for his man-made famine–a diabolically efficient way of killing millions before the invention of the atomic bomb–the New York Times praised his regime. Walter Duranty, the paper's Moscow bureau chief, won a Pulitzer for Soviet propaganda and went on to gaslight readers by insisting, "There is no famine." Challenging the media establishment, political elites, and industry leaders eager to profit from helping Stalin modernize his empire was a young Welsh journalist, Gareth Jones. Idealistic and courageous, he risked his life and career to become a vital independent witness to the genocide. His story is told in the film Mr. Jones and in the award-winning graphic novel In the Shadow of Stalin: The Story of Mr. Jones. The film was developed with support from historical advisors, including Timothy Snyder, whose classic Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin opens with Jones's story. To commemorate the Holodomor this year, we're sharing the audio from a video interview from September 2024 featuring In the Shadow of Stalin: The Story of Mr. Jones, which recently won a Ringo Award for Best Nonfiction and received the honor of being a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard selection. (You can find the video in the show notes). Andrea Chalupa of Gaslit Nation, the writer/producer of the Mr. Jones film and comic In the Shadow of Stalin, speaks with Anastasia Ulanowicz, an Associate Professor of English at the University of Florida who specializes in comics as a medium for personal and historical memory. If you're looking for a way to help Ukraine, consider purchasing a copy of In the Shadow of Stalin: The Story of Mr. Jones for your local school or library. Hundreds of copies have already been given to members of Congress and sold to raise funds for Razom for Ukraine–Andrea has given away so many copies that she will never see any royalties for this as those books must be paid off to the publisher to cover their costs. When you purchase a book to give away to raise awareness, you're supporting Ukraine, not the author. Any effort to help spread this story is deeply appreciated. For those who haven't seen Mr. Jones, it's available here, and Andrea's short documentary Stalin's Secret Genocide–which screened at the United Nations in 2016 and features Timothy Snyder; Anne Applebaum; Norman Naimark of Stanford, author of Stalin's Genocides; Serhii Plokhii of Harvard, author of The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine; and other leading historians–is available here.

Brad Onishi sits down with Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Starr to dig into his new book, American Contradiction, and the idea that the United States is less a shining city on a hill and more a city built on a fault line. Starr traces how the nation's promise of liberty has always coexisted with exclusion, hierarchy, and inequality, and how those tensions erupted in new ways during the 1990s. Together they unpack how the end of the Cold War, the rise of culture wars, and the shockwaves of policies like NAFTA reshaped party coalitions, fueled resentment, and set the stage for today's political divide. Starr explains why the 90s were a turning point and how institutional structures like the Senate and Electoral College amplify polarization rather than contain it. The conversation also explores the growing gap between social progress and economic inequality and the challenges facing a Democratic Party trying to represent both progressive activists and working class voters. Bradley and Paul talk about the power of political storytelling, from nostalgia for an imagined past to despair over historical injustices, and how both shape the current moment. Despite everything, Starr ends with a measure of hope that the United States still has the capacity for reinvention and surprise if it can finally reckon with its contradictions and build a more inclusive national story.

If I asked you why we communicate with others, what would your reply be? I think my mind initially went to sharing information. But as you will soon hear, my guest cites that only 15-18% of our daily communications are about mere information. What is the primary reason we communicate then? We communicate to connect with others. My interest then is considering how much of my communication actually results in true connection. I have a world expert with me. Charles Duhigg. Charles is a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and the author of The Power of Habit, which spent over three years on bestseller lists is my favorite book on habits. In February of 2024 I had him here on the show for the first time to talk about his then new book, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection. The book has already sold over a million copies and I brought him back on to talk further about my own evolution in connecting, and to celebrate the release of the paperback version of Supercommunicators. Charles also writes for The New Yorker magazine and previously wrote for The New York Times and is a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Business School.

In this episode of Arts 24, we look at "Fall of Freedom" – a nationwide wave of performances, readings and public art events as artists across the United States mobilise against mounting censorship and political pressure on cultural institutions. Hundreds of theatres, museums, and libraries are taking part on November 21 and 22 in what organisers call an urgent stand for artistic freedom. Joining us from New York are two of the movement's leading voices: Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Lynn Nottage and visual artist Dread Scott. They discuss why they believe democracy is at risk, how cultural institutions are being pressured into silence, and why artists are uniting now. Among the stars participating in "Fall of Freedom" are filmmaker Michael Moore, director Ava DuVernay, musicians John Legend and Amanda Palmer, Pulitzer-winning novelist Jennifer Egan and visual artists Marilyn Minter. Events include staged readings, public art installations, concerts, film screenings, and library programs, all aimed at defending free expression.

The money keeps coming. Global spending on artificial intelligence is projected to hit $375 billion this year. In 2026, the figure is supposed to approach half a trillion dollars. The sums invested already are so staggering that the United States is beginning to look like an “Nvidia-state,” where the tech boom is fueling a great majority of economic growth. But lately, tech watchers have started to ask the obvious question: Is this boom in fact a bubble? We talk to the Atlantic staff writer Charlie Warzel about what might happen—to companies, to the economy, to ordinary Americans—if one day that bubble were to burst. Charlie covers tech and all the strange, unmooring things it does to culture. And he has a new Atlantic video podcast called Galaxy Brain launching this week. --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Percival Everett has made a career out of exploring the nature of absurdity. You may have become aware of Everett in the last few years when his novel “Erasure” was adapted into the movie “American Fiction” in 2023, or when his book “James” won the Pulitzer prize last year. But Everett has written 24 novels since 1983 along with several books of poetry and short story collections, each of them tackling a different genre of writing and a different angle on nonsense, absurdity or irony. As he says, “to accept the absurdity of a situation is to accept the humanness of it.” We talk to Percival Everett in front of an audience of students at McDaniel High School in Portland.

Hour 1 Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com kicks off with fiery debate and unapologetic truth. John Rush and Andy Peth welcome back America's Money Answer Man, Jordan Goodman, to unpack the chaos of a government shutdown, its ripple effects on the economy, and what it reveals about America's growing dependence on government aid. Will the shutdown be a wake-up call—or just another chapter in Washington's spending spree? As federal workers await back pay and air travel across the nation melts down, the conversation turns sharp: Should millions of Americans on SNAP benefits be expected to work? Is “something for nothing” destroying the nation's work ethic? With strong opinions, real-world economics, and no political sugarcoating, this hour delivers a bold challenge to how America views responsibility, resilience, and reward. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason dives deep into one of today's most heated political divides—America's stance on Israel. Andy Peth and John Rush challenge the growing anti-Israel sentiment within conservative circles, exposing what they call false narratives driven by media voices like Tucker Carlson. Is support for Israel really a betrayal of “America First,” or is that a dangerous distortion of the truth? Andy dismantles common misconceptions—arguing that his backing of Israel isn't rooted in religion but in strategy, principle, and reality. Together, he and John confront claims of “genocide,” clarify biblical context, and defend Israel's right to survive against enemies who target civilians. As they call out hypocrisy and misplaced outrage, one question looms: has America forgotten who its true allies are? HOUR 3 Hour 3 opens with a Veterans Day salute that turns into a robust, personal conversation with Dr. Josh McConkey (https://www.joshmcconkey.com) —a North Carolina lieutenant governor candidate, combat veteran, emergency physician with over two decades of experience, and author of the Pulitzer-nominated Be the Weight Behind the Spear. What happens when the people who carried the weight of war come home to a VA bureaucracy that treats them like numbers? McConkey spotlights the unseen “weight behind the spear”—families, coaches, teachers, and communities—and shows how their sacrifices sharpen every mission's tip. From IED injuries tragically dismissed as “depression” to a “COVID generation” struggling with lost resilience and leadership, John and Andy challenge listeners on how to take action. Hour 3 of Rush to Reason shifts from honoring veterans to confronting political reality with unfiltered honesty. John Rush and Andy Peth dissect the GOP's crushing losses, asking whether it was a “blue state sweep” or a failure to communicate. From affordability to local elections, they reveal how poor messaging—not policy—cost conservatives dearly. As Andy highlights party infighting and John rejects blame-shifting, both warn that unless Republicans reconnect with voters and sharpen their message, 2026 could bring an even bigger reckoning.

In Rehab: An American Scandal (Simon and Schuster, 2025), Pulitzer finalist Shoshana Walter exposes the country's failed response to the opioid crisis, and the malfeasance, corruption, and snake oil which blight the drug rehabilitation industry. Our country's leaders all seem to agree: People who suffer from addiction need treatment. Today, more people have access to treatment than ever before. So why isn't it working? The answer is that in America—where anyone can get addicted—only certain people get a real chance to recover. Despite record numbers of overdose deaths, our default response is still to punish, while rehabs across the United States fail to incorporate scientifically proven strategies and exploit patients. We've heard a great deal about the opioid crisis foisted on America by Big Pharma, but we've heard too little about the other half of this epidemic—the reason why so many remain mired in addiction. Until now. In this book, you'll find the stories of four people who represent the failures of the rehab-industrial complex, and the ways our treatment system often prevents recovery. April is a black mom in Philadelphia, who witnessed firsthand how the government's punitive response to the crack epidemic impeded her own mother's recovery—and then her own. Chris, a young middle-class white man from Louisiana, received more opportunities in his addiction than April, including the chance to go to treatment instead of prison. Yet the only program the judge permitted was one that forced him to perform unpaid back-breaking labor at for-profit companies. Wendy is a mother from a wealthy suburb of Los Angeles, whose son died in a sober living home. She began investigating for-profit treatment programs—yet law enforcement and regulators routinely ignored her warnings, allowing rehab patients to die, again and again. Larry is a surgeon who himself struggled with addiction, who would eventually become one of the first Suboxone prescribers in the nation, drawing the scrutiny of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Together, these four stories illustrate the pitfalls of a system that not only fails to meet the needs of people with addiction, but actively benefits from maintaining their lower status. They also offer insight into how we might fix that system and save lives. More of Shoshana's work: - Her reporting on hospital drug testing - Her reporting on moms reported to child welfare authorities for taking medication-assisted treatment during pregnancy - The American Rehab podcast Emily Dufton is the author of Grass Roots: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Marijuana in America (Basic Books, 2017).

Go ahead, Democrats. Enjoy your victory parties. But after that, brace yourselves, because Republicans may not be playing by the same rules a year from now. Since President Donald Trump took office for his second term—indeed, since his loss in 2020—he has shown his willingness to subvert the rules of free and fair elections. In various ways, he's used his power to intimidate potential opponents, Democratic donors, and even voters who might oppose him. We talk to the Atlantic staff writer David A. Graham about this week's election as a test run for 2026, the gerrymandering arms race, and future possible scenarios of election meddling.

The true story of America is that it was built on a caste system comparable to India's, says Pulitzer-prize-winning American journalist Isabel Wilkerson. The author argues that it's key to recognize the roots of the U.S. caste "structure" as she calls it, to understand why conflicts relating to race and class persist. Wilkerson delivered the 2025 Beatty Lecture at McGill University in Montreal.

Sinema kulübümüzün 24üncü buluşmasında, 2015 yılı yapımı "Spotlight" adlı filmi konuştuk. Tom McCarthy'nin yönettiği film, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams ve Liev Schreiber gibi güçlü bir oyuncu kadrosuna sahip.Film, Boston Globe gazetesinin araştırmacı gazetecilik ekibi Spotlight'ın, Katolik Kilisesi'nde yıllarca örtbas edilen çocuk istismarı skandalını ortaya çıkaran gerçek hikayesini anlatıyor. Bu çalışma, gazeteye 2003 yılında Pulitzer Ödülü kazandırmış. Film ise Akademi Ödülleri'nde En İyi Film ve En İyi Orijinal Senaryo dahil altı dalda aday olmuş, iki Oscar kazanmış.Bu filmi, Jonathan Haidt'in "Doğru Akıl" kitabını okurken izlemeyi seçmiştik; çünkü film, kitabın ele aldığı ahlaki değerlendirmelerdeki farklılıkları ve otorite ile kutsalın korunması adına sessiz kalmanın psikolojisini somut bir örnekle gözler önüne seriyor. Birçok arkadaşımız filmi rahatsız edici bulduğunu ama son derece önemli bir konuyu ele alışını beğendiklerini söylediler. Bu tür gerçek hikayelerin sinemaya aktarılması toplumda daha kalıcı etkiler bırakabiliyor. Bana da Erin Brokovich'i hatırlattı bir anlamda.Filmde Katolik Kilisesi'nde meydana gelen çocuk istismarı ele alınıyor ama her türlü otorite ve kutsal kabul edilen yapılarda istismarın farklı türleri ile karşılaşmanın mümkün olduğunu biliyoruz. Otoriteyi ve kutsalı koruma adına suçların nasıl örtbas edildiği, sessiz kalanların rolü, ve sistemin nasıl işbirliği içinde çalıştığı üzerine konuştuk. Özellikle gazeteciliğin önemi ve sorumluluğu üzerinde durduk. Filmin gösterdiği sabırlı, titiz araştırmacı gazetecilik yaklaşımı ve sistemli arşiv çalışmasını takdir ettik. Toplantıda ayrıca uzun yıllar sivil toplum alanında ve en son çocuk güvenliği uzmanı olarak çalışan arkadaşımız Selim Uysal bu alandaki tecrübelerinden edindiği izlenimleri ve tespitlerini paylaştı. Onları da dikkatinize sunmak istediğim için podcastin son kısmında yer verdim.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verebildiğim arkadaşlarım;(02:27) Ekin Akkol, (03:43) Feyza Demir, (07:13) Ebru Başaran, (09:04) Ebru Vural, (11:35) Uğur İyidoğan, (13:40) Feyza Demir, (16:25) Ebru Vural, (18:40) Ekin Akkol, (22:48) Feyza Demir ve (24:12) Selim UysalSupport the show

So far, the U.S. has blown up 14 boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific, killing at least 57 people. In the two months since the strikes began, the administration has consistently offered the same explanation: The U.S. has a fentanyl overdose problem, and these boats are a source of that drug. The federal government has stuck to that line despite the Drug Enforcement Administration and Department of Homeland Security saying most of the fentanyl brought into this country comes from Mexico, not through the Caribbean. Nancy Youssef covers national security for The Atlantic. She joins the show to discuss the strikes, the administration's changes to the military, and the lack of transparency in the transformed Pentagon.

On Tuesday, October 14, 2025 @thebigtentusa‬ convened a dynamic discussion on the forces reshaping American journalism—examining how business models, paywalls, and political influence affect the flow of information in today's media landscape. Featuring Daniella Ballou-Aares of Leadership Now Project and Heidi Przybyla of Get Real News, the conversation delved into the growing strain between democratic values and the financial and political pressures on news organizations. The speakers explored how reduced access to trusted reporting can fuel misinformation and why restoring public confidence in the media depends on transforming how journalism is supported and sustained. The panelists also pointed to signs of renewal across the industry, with independent outlets and emerging creators using social platforms, innovative funding models, and new technologies like AI to connect with audiences and strengthen the foundation of fact-based reporting.

In Kathryn Bigelow's new movie, A House of Dynamite, the clock is ticking. The film's fictional president of the United States has less than 20 minutes and very little information to decide whether or not to retaliate against a nuclear missile, launched at the United States, from an unknown source. As with Bigelow's other war movies, the story is disturbingly plausible. During the Cold War, the likely scenario was a war with the Soviet Union. Now there are nine nuclear powers, which makes the possibility of error, rogue actors, or a total information vacuum more likely. We talk with “A House of Dynamite” screenwriter Noah Oppenheim and Tom Nichols, a national-security writer at the Atlantic, who consulted on the movie.

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét go through the Rolling Stone Top 10 Songs of the 21st Century and debate whether the list is accurate or just rage bait. They ask when a song officially becomes an oldie, discuss Pulitzer-winning rappers, Beyoncé's essential tracks, and which Taylor Swift era Bob followed. Bob talks about his voice lessons while they get mixed up between The White Stripes and Whitesnake before naming their top five songs (for now). Plus, Bob reveals his all-time favorite diva, they discuss artists' secret albums, the makeup-in-bed dilemma, and which country is doing too much with kiss greetings.

Pulitzer-winner Caroline Fraser maps the lives and crimes of Ted Bundy and his infamous peers—the Green River Killer, the I-5 Killer, the Night Stalker, the Hillside Strangler, and even Charles Manson—and explores an intriguing hypothesis: might environmental factors have played a role in the rise of serial killers in the 1970s and '80s? Caroline Fraser is the author of Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder, which won the Pulitzer Prize. She is also the author of God's Perfect Child: Living and Dying in the Christian Science Church, and her writing has appeared in The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Los Angeles Times, and London Review of Books, among other publications. Her new book is Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers.

In this week's episode, we are speaking with Deborah Blum, environmental journalist, Pulitzer-prize winning science writer and science columnist. Let me explain why we have asked Deborah to join us. In 1962, American marine biologist, science writer, and conservationist Rachel Carson writes a pivotal book in our history, titled Silent Spring, which skillfully lays out the very real life scenario of how and where poisonous chemicals and controls, like DDT, were created and distributed by the US government in hand with major chemical companies and were used in agricultural fields, orchards, and private homeowners.What consumers didn't know at the time was that chemicals like DDT were doing immeasurable and great harm to animals, ecosystems, and humans. We have asked Deborah Blum to speak with us about Rachel Carson because of Blum's extensive qualifications as a science writer, and for the fact that she only just recently retired as the Director of the Knight Science Journalism program at MIT, and has specialised in toxicology for the last 15 years, writing about poisons and pesticides in our everyday lives.Time Stamps:Intro: 00:15Interview: 9:40TA: 55:50Show Notes:⁠https://deborahblum.com/⁠PBS with Blum featured⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeJNRaE11A0⁠A short film on Rachel Carson⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezVEzCmiXM4⁠

The Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia concludes this week, but the outrage (from comedians who didn't go) and self-justification (from comedians who did) continues. The festival is one small piece of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's grand vision to remake the kingdom for the 21st century and simultaneously draw global attention away from human-rights violations like the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In this episode, we talk to the Atlantic staff writers Vivian Salama and Helen Lewis about what happened at the festival and how to understand Saudi Arabia's push for modernization.  Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.
