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.

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.

Negli ultimi mesi le librerie si sono riempite di libri che parlano della storia della Palestina e della situazione nella Striscia di Gaza: ce ne sono sempre di più. A due anni dall'inizio dell'invasione israeliana della Striscia, Ludovica Lugli e Giulia Pilotti ne hanno letti due di cui si è molto parlato a livello internazionale: Il libro della scomparsa di Ibtisam Azem (Hopeful Monster), che è un romanzo surreale uscito in origine nel 2014, e Un giorno nella vita di Abed Salama di Nathan Thrall (Neri Pozza), vincitore di un premio Pulitzer nel 2024.Nella puntata, che è stata registrata a settembre, sono stati menzionati anche Sharon e mia suocera di Suad Amiry (a cui era dedicata questa puntata di Comodino), Un dettaglio minore di Adania Shibli, il numero di Arabpop sulla Palestina e lo scrittore Mazen Maarouf.

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.

La migraña afecta al 12 % de la población en Colombia. Esto impacta la productividad y la calidad de vida. ¿Cuáles son las señales de alerta? ¿Cómo diferenciarla de un dolor de cabeza? Y ¿Cuáles son las causas que la desencadenan?

Episode SummaryIn this inspiring episode of Hospitality Meets, I sit down with Billy Skelli-Cohen, CEO of Beaumier Hotels, a boutique group with 11 stunning properties across France, Switzerland, and Ibiza.Billy's story is not your standard hospitality tale. In fact, he jokes that he's “a bit of a fraud” because he's never actually worked in a hotel. From starting out in retail, to private equity, to leading some of Europe's most iconic hotel projects, Billy's journey is proof that there's no single path to the top in hospitality.Expect stories of bold ideas that paid off (a bike repair kit that became a PR sensation), bold mistakes (thinking Europe's playbook would work in the US), and why listening twice as much as you talk might just be the best leadership hack out there (Must learn this, Phil)Key TakeawaysEmployee Experience First – “It's impossible to deliver great guest experiences without first delivering great employee experiences.”Boldness Pays Off – Sometimes the smallest left-field ideas (like a Dutch bike kit in a hotel room) create the biggest impact.Culture Matters – What works in one country doesn't always work in another; leadership is an art, not a science.Stay Curious – Great leaders ask questions, observe, and never stop learning.People > Projects – The proudest achievements aren't hotels or awards, but watching people around you grow and flourish.Memorable Quotes“Hotels are never finished. There's always something to improve, evolve, or reimagine.”“It's impossible to provide good guest experience without a good employee experience first.”“I'm not afraid to say I now only want to work with people who are smarter than me.”“Sometimes the small, silly ideas end up becoming the PR story everyone talks about.”“I don't look back too much. I don't look too far ahead either. I try to stay in the present.”Final ThoughtsBilly's journey is a reminder that hospitality isn't just about hotels, it's about people, culture, and curiosity. From repositioning icons like The Pulitzer in Amsterdam to building soulful luxury hotels in magical destinations, his leadership shows that staying bold, present, and people-first is the real key to growth.Show PartnersA big shout out to Today's show partner, RotaCloud, the people management platform for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from a single, web-based app.It makes work simple for your team, too, allowing them to check their rotas, request holiday, and even pick up extra shifts straight from their phones.Try RotaCloud's time-saving tools today by heading to https://rotacloud.com/philThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Pulitzer-prize winner Art Cullen Laments the Decline of Small Town Iowa in Latest Book

Percival Everett, né en 1956 en Géorgie aux États-Unis, est l'auteur d'une vingtaine de romans dont «Effacement» (2001), qui explore les stéréotypes raciaux dans le monde littéraire, et adapté au cinéma sous le titre «American Fiction» en 2023. Ont suivi «Blessés», «Montée aux enfers» et «Châtiment» dans la veine du polar. Son nouveau roman «James», couronné par le National Book Award et le prix Pulitzer de la fiction en 2025 revisite le classique «Les Aventures de Huckleberry Finn» du point de vue de Jim, l'esclave en fuite.   Traduit de l'anglais (États-Unis) par Anne-Laure Tissut « Ces gamins blancs, Huck et Tom, m'observaient. Ils imaginaient toujours des jeux dans lesquels j'étais soit le méchant soit une proie, mais à coup sûr leur jouet. [...] On gagne toujours à donner aux Blancs ce qu'ils veulent. » Qui est James ? Le jeune esclave illettré qui a fui la plantation ? Ou cet homme cultivé et plein d'humour qui se joue des Blancs ? Percival Everett transforme le personnage de Jim créé par Mark Twain, dans son roman Huckleberry Finn, en un héros inoubliable. James prétend souvent ne rien savoir, ne rien comprendre ; en réalité, il maîtrise la langue et la pensée comme personne. Ce grand roman d'aventures, porté par les flots tourmentés du Mississippi, pose un regard incisif entièrement neuf sur la question du racisme. Mais James est surtout l'histoire déchirante d'un homme qui tente de choisir son destin. (Présentation des éditions de l'Olivier)

Karen Elliott House was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting for her coverage of the Middle East. Arguably, she knows more about the region, and Saudi Arabia in particular, than any other active journalist or author.  For her latest book, Why Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Matters to the World, Karen conducted more than half a dozen in-depth interviews with the 40-year-old Saudi Crown Prince, known universally as “MBS.” For global business owners and executives, the dramatic Saudi transformation over the past decade, spearheaded by MBS, presents both promise and peril: vast opportunities for investment and growth but also political and legal risks that demand careful navigation. The pace of change under MBS has astonished even veteran observers like Karen, who has traveled to the kingdom more than 45 times since the late 1970s. Today, Saudi women can drive, hold jobs across industries, and participate openly in public life. Entertainment venues — from concerts to theme parks — are thriving. Restaurants that once erected wooden partitions to shield women from the public now bustle with mixed crowds. Karen compares his confidence and determination to that of Jack Welch at General Electric or Lee Kuan Yew, a founding father of modern Singapore. Like them, MBS is willing to make unpopular decisions in pursuit of national transformation. Whether his reforms endure, she cautions, depends on two factors: keeping the economy growing and avoiding foreign policy missteps that could unite his enemies. With a half-century potentially ahead of him as the next Saudi King, Mohammed bin Salman will be an unavoidable force in global politics and business. As Karen puts it, Americans must move beyond old stereotypes and reckon with the kingdom as it is — complex, evolving, and essential.

Yesterday, Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show was suspended indefinitely. It's a shocking moment for free speech, given the order in which events unfolded. Earlier that day, FCC Chair Brendan Carr had suggested on a conservative podcast that ABC and its affiliates consider taking steps against Kimmel, saying, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.” As it so happened, the late-night legend David Letterman was scheduled to speak at The Atlantic Festival the next day. Letterman and The Atlantic's editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, sat down for an impromptu interview about the news. --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

This segment unpacks the potent intersection of queer identity, HIV stigma, and religious condemnation through a Pulitzer-winning musical. We explore how faith-based shame and societal neglect, especially during the AIDS crisis, weaponized pain against the LGBTQ+ community, leading to immeasurable loss and continued fear, even with life-saving medications. It's a stark reminder that bigotry costs lives, and that societal acceptance still lags behind medical progress, particularly for marginalized groups. When "morality" dictates who deserves care, humanity truly suffers.News Source: Black Gay Playwright Michael R.

American public education is changing. And, in many ways, Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters is at the center of it, trying to push for Bibles in schools, new curriculum standards that include dozens of references to Christianity, and an ideology test for teachers coming from “places like California and New York.” One Oklahoma teacher finds herself at direct odds with Walters and the Department of Education. And a pair of Walters's former students no longer recognize the teacher they once loved.

Virgil Abloh is a designer who broke the mold when it comes to the world of design. He had a degree in architecture, not fashion when he started out designing tee shirts. Kanye West became Virgil's mentor at a time the rapper's own career was taking off. Virgil went from designing streetwear to becoming the first Black artistic director of the French luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton. Robin Givhan, a Pulitzer-prize winning Senior Critic-at-Large at the Washington Post was so fascinated by Virgil's wide-ranging talent that she wrote a book about him called Make it Ours.

Today, we're joined by one of the most respected voices in American journalism—Pulitzer Prize winner Tim Weiner. You know him from his groundbreaking book Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA, which won the National Book Award and became the defining account of the Agency's first 60 years. Now, Tim is back with THE MISSION: The CIA in the 21st Century—a riveting and urgent look at the CIA's modern battles, from 9/11 to Russia, China, and the chaotic state of American intelligence today. Based on exclusive on-the-record interviews with top spymasters and undercover officers, THE MISSION is already a New York Times bestseller and one of the most talked-about books of 2025. Tim Weiner has appeared everywhere from Morning Joe to The New Yorker, and today he's here to take us deep inside the world of secrets, power, and peril.

As Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. works to dismantle the national vaccine infrastructure, states have started going their own way. Governors in California, Washington State, and Oregon said they intend to coordinate on vaccine policies. Florida's surgeon general went in the opposite direction, announcing a plan to end all state vaccine mandates, which he compared to “slavery.” We talk to the Atlantic science writer Katie Wu about how Kennedy's decisions are affecting the vaccine pipeline and how difficult it will be to rebuild. We also talk about what you, the patient, should do in an atmosphere where the federal government, long the authority on vaccines, is no longer reliable.

How do artists hold the powerful to account? Graphic novelist Alison Bechdel and editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes have been grappling with that question for decades, in their own very different ways.  Bechdel is the creator of the seminal comic strip, “Dykes to Watch out For,” which she self-syndicated for 25 years. She's also the author and illustrator of four graphic novels, including “Fun Home,” which was adapted into a five-time Tony-winning Broadway musical. She is a professor at Yale, and her latest book is Spent.   Telnaes is a two-time Pulitzer winner and the winner of the Herb Block Prize for editorial cartooning in 2023. Earlier this year, she made international headlines after resigning from The Washington Post when her cartoon mocking tech billionaires for bending the knee to President Trump, including Post owner Jezz Bezos, was spiked. She now publishes her work on Substack  Kara, Alison and Ann discuss everything from politics and money in art, to South Park, book bans, drawing Kristi Noem's flowing extensions, art making, and AI drawings.  Questions?

"I have friends everywhere." In this special episode, we're joined by Tony Gilroy, the creative force behind the electrifying Star Wars series Andor. Critics and activists on the frontlines in America have praised Andor for its powerful portrayal of resistance, and with Season 2 up for 14 Emmy Awards, it's clear this is no ordinary space opera. Gilroy's vision grounds the story in centuries of history, showing us what it means to resist empire in all its brutality. Andor is an urgent guide for Americans today.  For more than three decades, Gilroy has been shaping modern cinema with blockbusters and fearless storytelling. He gave us Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and wrote and directed the critically acclaimed political thriller Michael Clayton, which earned him Oscar nominations for both screenplay and direction. His credits include Armageddon and the first four entries of the Bourne series (in which he directed the fourth), Devil's Advocate, Dolores Claiborne, The Cutting Edge, State of Play, and many, many other films.  The son of World War II veteran and Tony and Pulitzer-winning playwright and filmmaker Frank Gilroy, and brother to acclaimed film editor John Gilroy and Oscar-nominated writer-director Dan Gilroy (an Emmy-nominated writer on Andor), Tony Gilroy doesn't just tell stories: he builds immersive worlds where power, corruption, and resistance collide, worlds that help us make sense of our own. We're thrilled to welcome him to Gaslit Nation to discuss this dark chapter in America's history and, through his art, remind us of the courage it takes to stand and fight back. For Gaslit Nation listeners who want the full breakdown of the convicted felon/war criminal distraction circus and what comes next for the Free World, our latest salon digs into the Putin-Trump gaslighting sideshow in Alaska and how the war can actually end. You can watch the recording at Patreon.com/Gaslit. Thank you to everyone who makes our independent journalism possible! Don't miss Monday's salon at 4pm ET, only on Patreon, where we'll dive into two powerful films about resisting dictatorship: The Lives of Others and I'm Still Here.  The Lives of Others tells the haunting story of artists defying the East German Stasi, while I'm Still Here tells the story of a woman whose husband is disappeared by Brazil's military dictatorship in the 1970s, and how she transforms her country for the better.  These two films are reminders that light will always defeat darkness: it's just a matter of time, and collective courage and defiance.    Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

There was so much symbolism in President Donald Trump's two most recent international summits—in Alaska last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and then at the White House this week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. In this episode, we talk with Anne Applebaum, who has been studying Ukraine and Russia for decades and understands their leaders' underlying motivations. And we speak with politics and national-security writer Vivian Salama, who knows what Trump's limitations are and explains what the next possible moves could be. – – –Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.
