Bill Gates has generally been an AI optimist. Three years ago, he wrote that AI had downsides, but the risks were “manageable.” This week, Gates wrote a new memo, headlined: “The Turbulent AI Era Is Here. The Choices We Make Now Are Critical.”  He joins the show to raise the alarm about the dangers he sees in artificial intelligence—economic upheaval, social unrest, cyberattacks, bioterrorism—and most crucial, what he sees as a failure of experts and governments to take these threats seriously enough.  “The lack of dialogue with all parts of society is kind of deafening silence,” he tells Hanna Rosin. “Anyone who analogizes AI as a technology to other technologies is missing that this time is different. And saying something is different, there's a very high bar for that, but I'm staking whatever reputation I have [on] saying this time is different.” They have a wide-ranging conversation—also available on video—about his evolving views on AI and what he misjudged in his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. - - -  Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Pulitzer-prize winning critic Andrea Long Chu (New York Magazine, books: Females, Authority) lobbys for a new term for centrist TERFs who are neither right-wing nor leftist.

How do you feel when you get news about something you already know? Seriously. What does it feel like when the newspaper finally discovers something you've been saying for five years? What hasn't been validated for us? Because I read a poll yesterday that told me something I found absolutely shocking. Democrats have a more favorable view of socialism than capitalism. Stop the presses! Call the Pulitzer committee! Apparently, we've finally discovered that people who spend their lives telling us capitalism is evil actually believe capitalism is evil. Who knew? And I particularly enjoy the leftist who owns a business. You know the type. He's driving his $150,000 German automobile to his million-dollar home, after spending the afternoon running a company that exists because people buy things in a capitalist economy. And then he tells you capitalism is oppressive. That's like a professional chef announcing that food is immoral while eating a steak. But I do understand why some Democrats might have a complicated relationship with capitalism. Capitalism requires you to create something people voluntarily want to buy. That's hard. Government money? Well, apparently there's a whole industry built around taking that. Why work for a dollar when you can get a politician to hand you a taxpayer-funded dollar? Kevin Jackson has been called, the "white-collar" Joe Rogan. Given their similar backgrounds in TV, comedy, and martial arts, it's easy to see why people enjoy Kevin's show so much.

In 2013, Julia Curlee became the first CIA officer to transition openly and keep serving the agency.She felt more effective at her job living as the person she always believed she was—and years ago she wrote about her experience under a pseudonym in The Atlantic. Her performance proved her effectiveness: She became the daily intelligence briefer for Vice President Pence during the first Trump administration and a director on the National Security Council in both the Biden administration and the second Trump term. Less than 70 days after the president returned to office in 2025, Julia was fired from the White House without explanation. She returned to the CIA and, over time, began to feel a lack of support at the agency in an administration that was openly hostile to transgender people. Julia left her dream job with the federal government earlier this year. This week on Radio Atlantic, she is telling her full story for the first time. --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Gen Z has romanticized the technology of the '90s—or the era's lack of it. Young long for a time when people were looking at each other instead of their phones. But could that nostalgia for a smartphone-free society actually help guide the future? That's one of the driving questions from the latest season of How to Touch Grass, co-hosted by Julie Beck and Natalie Brennan. This week on Radio Atlantic, we're sharing the first episode, with an introduction by Hanna Rosin. --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Jace and Rocky break down all 11 DC releases for the week of August 12, 2026. In Green Lantern Corps #19, Guy Gardner brings the Lanterns bonded to the emotional entities together around a new idea: their individual emotions remain distinct, but they may now be able to draw on the entire emotional spectrum when they need it. In Barbara Gordon: Breakout #4, Barbara finally meets one of the innocent people she entered prison to find—a cop locked up for refusing to play along with Vandal Savage—while Sparrow's murder gives the story some badly needed forward momentum. In Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #2, someone is impersonating Clayface, and his attempt to uncover who is behind it becomes much more personal when a friend he confides in is murdered. In Fury of Firestorm #5, Firehawk briefly reaches the Ronnie Raymond trapped inside the Firestorm Matrix, but Professor Stein's reaction when the sentient Matrix calls him "father" raises new questions about whether his supposed remorse was ever genuine. In Emperor Aquaman #20, Arthur moves his fight with Poseidon away from Earth so he can finally cut loose, and the God of the Sea gets a firsthand demonstration of just how terrifyingly powerful Aquaman has become. In Absolute Batman #23, Bruce's obsession with Jack Grimm has reached the point where he believes virtually every defining moment in his life was deliberately engineered, leaving his oldest friends wondering whether Batman has gone too far. The Nice House by the Sea #11, the penultimate issue of the second arc, finally delivers major answers and forward momentum for the larger mystery while still making the revelation involving Oliver land through the character drama that has defined the series. In Supergirl #16, still believing Superman is missing, Kara takes responsibility for the House of El as Zod's larger plan begins coming into focus and a female Eradicator unexpectedly enters the conflict. In Bleeding Hearts #7, Poke's growing bond with Rabbit and her mother shows him becoming increasingly human, but that fragile connection is threatened when Rabbit is grievously injured by one of the undead. In Batman and Robin: Year One — Dynamic Duos #1, a young Bruce nearly loses control when a group of kids mug him and his date, while an encounter with the Wolfpack gives him another early lesson in becoming the Batman he will eventually be. In Action Comics #1101, Lois Lane proves why she is a Pulitzer-winning reporter by getting under General Zod's skin, probing for his real agenda and deliberately keeping him talking because she knows he may be planning to kill her. Meanwhile, Superman has returned, but will it be just to face defeat at the hands of Zod? Jace and Rocky also cover the week's collected editions, reprints and facsimiles before ranking all 11 books and revealing their Books of the Week.   Chapter 00:00 — DC Week Overview, Legion Reactions & Comic-Con Follow-Up 16:42 — Green Lantern Corps #19 33:40 — Barbara Gordon: Breakout #4 37:55 — Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #2 41:23 — Fury of Firestorm #5 53:34 — Emperor Aquaman #20 1:11:15 — Absolute Batman #23 1:36:53 — The Nice House by the Sea #11 1:47:58 — Action Comics #1101 1:48:07 — Supergirl #16 1:57:33 — Bleeding Hearts #7 2:01:05 — Batman and Robin: Year One — Dynamic Duos #1 2:09:47 — Collected Editions, Reprints & Facsimiles 2:13:29 — Rankings & Books of the Week

His story about that is my favorite part of the interview. We also talked about his writing process: how he tells great stories, develops great characters, and writes good sentences. He shared his mantras, such as the idea that when you're editing, the editor is the patient, and you, the writer, are the doctor. He also explained why it's better to be honest than witty if you want to write great comedy. About the host Hey! I'm David Perell and I'm a writer, teacher, and podcaster.

William Sarradet speaks with "Dallas Morning News" architecture critic and 2026 Pulitzer winner Mark Lamster about the contradictions and marvels of Dallas architecture, what's at stake with losing iconic buildings, and his new book, "Welcome to Paradox City." "I like to say that living in Dallas is like going to the circus every day. It's an inherent craziness... It's wonderful and it's frustrating all at the same time. It's just a city of endless contradiction."

"You have to remember to slow things down. In this world where there's this fast-paced news cycle, and everybody wants to get it out first, this is a different genre, so to speak. You have to slow down. You have to build that trust. You can't expect to get these details on the first interview. More importantly, you have to show you care," says Mitch Weiss, a Pulitzer Prize-winner and co-author of Toxic Lies for The Atavist."When it comes to the writing, it helps that Mitch and I have similar worldviews and we have a similar voice to our writing, so it doesn't look choppy to readers. It's easy for him to take a chapter and I'll take another chapter, and we can make it flow together," says Holbrook Mohr, a Pulitzer finalist and co-author of Toxic Lies for The Atavist.Mitch and Holbrook's story is Toxic Lies: For Decades, workers at the nuclear facility in Kentucky were exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. Management assured them nothing was wrong. Then four friends risked everything to reveal the truth.It's a whistle-blower narrative and while the story dates back decades, you can feel the weight of the impact of industry encroaching on rural communities – i'm speaking specifically of data centers today – and what catastrophe and oversight will workers be subjected to next? How will they be exploited in the name of shareholders?To Holbrook and Mitch's credit, they have very little by way of an internet toehold, Holbrook is on Twitter @holbrookmohr and Mitch is @mitchsweiss on IG and Twitter, but I'll give them a greater intro when we reach their part of the podcast: spoiler alert, there are Pulitzer Prizes involved.Holbrook and Mitch are award-winning journalists with the Associated Press. They have reported together on a culture of abuse in the U.S. gymnastics program, the use of “less lethal” force by police, and the dangers of medical devices known as spinal-cord stimulators. They are the authors of the book Broken Faith: Inside of One of America's Most Dangerous Cults. Mitch won the Pulitzer Prize and Holbrook is a Pulitzer finalist. They have been working together as a tandem since 2009, lots of work for the AP, and now independently as they navigate the choppy waters of freelance investigative journalism.In this conversation we talk about: Collaboration and trust The death of the dad book Stress testing a story as a magazine story before a book Adapting and being nimble Keeping interviews short Developing trust with sources over time Slowing things down Hearing how sentences sound And how they decompress after reporting on intense materialSo let's waste no more time.

We've entered the era of the great romance slump. Fewer people are moving in together and getting married, and a shrinking number of young adults say they have experience in a committed relationship—all this despite people saying that they want to find love. So why aren't they getting it? The Atlantic's staff writer Faith Hill explains what's driving the romance decline and reports on life inside the slump.  --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

This is the second episode in Beyond Polarization, a special series about what polarization is costing Americans, and what we can actually do about it. You can find Episode 1, where we analyze research on polarization and disagreement, here. In this episode: how the news media can do less to reinforce polarized narratives, and more to meet the needs of audiences. Journalism is an essential component of our democratic system. But when it comes to politics, how much reporting do you read that actually helps you decide who to vote for? During an election cycle, candidates tell the press that if elected, they'll work to solve problems that matter to their voters. Those with more controversial opinions or spicy personal backgrounds get more airtime. And pundits prognosticate about which candidate can win which demographic.  Yet between elections, there's a lot less coverage of how office holders are fulfilling their campaign promises, or trying to. News organizations cover corruption and scandal, an important role of journalism. But what about when things go right?   Without good information about solutions to society's problems, it's easier to vote based on fear of the other side, vote along party lines, or just stay home. Outside of politics, everyday news coverage skews negative too. Our guests this episode are journalists committed to reporting on communities and current events in de-polarizing ways. They do that by focusing on what people need and want and how politics could affect that: covering the stakes, not the odds.  Tina Rosenberg is a Pulitzer-prize-winning reporter and cofounder of the Solutions Journalism Network, which promotes rigorous reporting on solutions to social problems. At the New York Times, she wrote the Fixes column with David Bornstein. Sarah Jane Weaver is the editor-in-chief of the Deseret News based in Salt Lake City, Utah – one of the first outlets to embrace the Solutions Journalism model in the 2010s. Weaver first joined Deseret as a reporter in 1995.  Resources mentioned in this episode: “The Perception Gap: How False Impressions are Pulling Americans Apart,” report from More in Common Americans' Trust in Media Remains at Trend Low, 2024 Gallup poll Outlier Media, local news outlet in Detroit that provides information on housing, utilities and other essential information via text Sisters fight to pick up the pieces after catastrophic car crash, reporting by the Deseret News Small-town America is arguing over whether to welcome Syria's refugees or fear them, story by The World from PRX ABOUT THE SHOW The Making Peace Visible podcast is hosted by Jamil Simon and produced by Andrea Muraskin.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThey told Richard Nixon his career was over. Then they told him again. He proved them wrong twice and, for a moment, he looked unstoppable. I walk through Nixon's political exile after 1960 and 1962, then his return to win the presidency in 1968 and dominate in 1972. The point isn't nostalgia or hero worship. It's a hard look at how comebacks really happen when political elites rush to declare a leader finished, but the “lunch bucket” voters still show up, still work, and still vote. Along the way, I draw a modern parallel to Donald Trump's 2024 comeback after years of investigations, prosecutions, civil suits, and impeachment fights, and why many Americans see that era through the lens of “lawfare” and institutional trust. To understand the country that produced Nixon's return, we go straight to a defining source: Theodore H. White's Pulitzer-winning The Making of a President 1960. White helped invent modern campaign journalism, writing scenes that capture Kennedy's discipline, Nixon's exhaustion, and the first truly television-driven presidential race where looking presidential mattered as much as sounding presidential. We also lay out the pivotal election sequence of 1960, 1964, 1968, and 1972, including how Barry Goldwater's loss plants seeds that later power Nixon and Reagan. Finally, we face the hinge point: Watergate. I explain why White's series couldn't survive Nixon's resignation, why he turns to Breach of Faith, and where we go next with a deeper Watergate dive through Geoff Shepard's trilogy and the argument that scandals can become tools used against future presidents. Key Points from the Episode:  • Nixon's two political “deaths” and the mechanics of a real comeback  • why the Trump 2024 return fuels comparisons about elites, voters and “lawfare”  • Theodore White's The Making of a President 1960 and what it changed in political journalism  • the first TV-era presidential campaign and why “looking presidential” becomes decisive  • how 1960, 1964, 1968 and 1972 map the conservative movement's rise from Goldwater to Nixon to Reagan  • “order” as a winning message for an exhausted country  • Watergate as the turning point that breaks White's series and reshapes trust in institutions  • preview of the upcoming Geoff Shepard's Watergate trilogy coverage and the claim that scandal becomes a political weapon  Other goodnessAmerica's pivotal election series:  https://www.teammojoacademy.com/mm342-pivotal-tuesdays-series-the-election-of-1968-part-1/https://www.teammojoacademy.com/mm343-pivotal-tuesdays-series-the-election-of-1968-part-2/We are building and have built out a whole library of book briefs, just one pager's five-minute read over at the Mojo Book Academy on Substack, mojoacademy.substack.com.  Keep fighting the good fight!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I remember this advice from decade ago"If you want to become a storyteller, tell stories. If you want to become a better storyteller, tell more stories." But what's a good story? A good story starts here: you have a treasure trove of lived experience memories. Are they all worthy of blossoming into well-crafted meaningful stories captivating to your listeners? How will you know unless you begin?       The point is you have a brain, an imagination, and more than reasonable ability to begin transforming those lived experience memories into storytelling magic. Take a course. Get a coach. Invest in your desire to see what you are capable of creating. You can do all three with me. Email me for an no-obligation Discovery Chat!   Here's what I believe: When someone comes to me with a story they need to tell, they are bringing me something they've been processing, shaping, and trying to make sense of—possibly for decades. The story is already there. It has been there the whole time. My job—as witness, as story doula—is not to give you a story. It is to help you find the one you are already living.  Let's have a no-obligation Discovery Chat. Meanwhile, the very best use of your time might be spent as a spy to your life, as Don Murray wrote: "I am a spy to my life, maintaining an alertness to the commonplace, the ordinary, the routine where the really important stories appear. I am never bored. I overhear what is said and not said, delight in irony and contradiction, relish answers without questions and questions without answers, take note of what is and what should be, what was & may be. I imagine, speculate, make believe, remember, reflect. I am always traitor to the predictable, always welcoming to the unexpected....." [Don Murray, Pulitzer-prize winning American journalist & English professor]     Story Prompt: We read the work of others so that we can say, "Look here! We're not the only ones.” What memories and sensations came alive in you when you heard Don Murray's words? Write that story and share it out loud!    You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, subscribe & spread this episode  with a generous 5-star review & comment—it helps us all—& join us next time!

Opposition to data-center construction is the bipartisan issue of the moment—70 percent of Americans are against construction in their communities. Recently, New York passed the country's first statewide data-center-construction moratorium. Maine was supposed to have been the first. For this week's episode of Radio Atlantic, the reporter Ethan Brooks traveled to Maine to understand why one tiny town killed what would have been America's first data-center moratorium. - - - Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

Nationwide attention and endorsements are flooding into Michigan as voters get ready to pick their Senate candidates Aug. 4. Why is everybody from President Trump to Bernie Sanders so interested? The path to win the Senate runs straight through this purple state, and that has Democrats battling over whether the progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed or the more centrist U.S. Representative Haley Stevens is the right candidate to put forward. Host Adam Harris talks to Atlantic writer Russell Berman about why Michigan matters and what the outcome of this race could mean for the future of the Democratic Party and the Senate at large.  --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Daniel Kraus spoke with us about book promotion as an introvert, writing two books a year, his creative process, and his first sci-fi novel, THE SIXTH NIK. Daniel Kraus is a New York Times bestselling novelist, screenwriter, and 2026 Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction for his novel Angel Down. His novel Whalefall received a front-cover review in The New York Times Book Review, won the Alex Award, was an Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist, and was named a Best Book of Year by NPR, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and more. His latest novel is The Sixth Nik, “Perfectly aligned for readers of Iain M. Banks's The Culture series and Ursula K. Le Guin's “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”, The Sixth Nik is a galaxy-spanning adventure,” that Booklist called “Strange and intense and impossible to look away from … sf at its most daring.” Daniel Kraus coauthored The Shape of Water with Guillermo del Toro, based on the same idea the two created for the Oscar-winning film. Also with del Toro, Kraus coauthored Trollhunters, which was adapted into the Emmy Award–winning Netflix series. Kraus has won the Bram Stoker Award, Scribe Award, two Odyssey Awards (for both Rotters and Scowler), and has appeared multiple times as Library Guild selections, and more. Kraus's work has been translated into over 25 languages.

Mike McIntire follows the money behind America's gun culture in his new book Ricochet — an industry that profits every single time.

People may be reading now more than ever (emails, texts, social-media posts). But fewer and fewer people are reading actual books. The Atlantic's staff writer Rose Horowitch, who wrote the August cover story, “The End of Reading Is Here,” explains what might be lost in a “postliterate” age—and it's a lot more than books. - - - Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

We've got more guns than people in this country, and I wanted to know how we got here and why we can't fix it.

Today's episode is a dispatch from Georgia, where election skeptics run elections. Lately, the president has gone into an election frenzy, trying to spread the idea that elections are rife with fraud. He seems to be laying the groundwork for the argument that if Republicans lose the midterms, it can be only because someone cheated. The place to truly advance the idea that elections can't be trusted, however, is in the states, where officials have authority over the building blocks of elections. We travel to Georgia, a once-red state quickly turning purple, where election skeptics are not just inside the building; they have taken over several floors, settled in, and put their feet up on the table, and now they are trying to change all of the locks.

Jordan Belfort's story got the Scorsese treatment in 2013, but The Wolf of Wall Street was only ever half the picture. On this episode of Reality Life with Kate Casey, executive producer and investigative journalist Jason Leopold unpacks Paramount+'s new documentary The Real Wolf of Wall Street, built from over 15,000 pages of previously unreleased government documents and new interviews with the people who actually lived it. Jason is a two-time Pulitzer finalist known for filing more FOIA lawsuits than nearly any journalist in the country, and breaks down who Belfort really was behind the Hollywood myth, what the documents reveal that the movie left out, and how the story of Stratton Oakmont still echoes through finance today.

This week saw the first fatal ICE shooting since Minnesota. In Houston, an ICE officer shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. It's been six months since the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and the federal government hasn't properly investigated either one. And it has stood in the way of state agents trying to find out what happened—failing, for example, to give state investigators access to Good's car. The face of this federal response is Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general who is facing a Senate confirmation hearing next week.  For a system that assumes the federal government keeps state and local law enforcement from committing civil-rights abuses, what happens when the roles are reversed? How far can states such as Minnesota go?  The Atlantic's staff writer Quinta Jurecic discusses the Good and Pretti investigations, how Blanche has warped the Justice Department, and how state prosecutors and federal judges are pushing back.  - - - Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.

The Florida Department of Education recently announced an alternative to the Advanced Placement history course that it described in a press release as “free from ideological bias or indoctrination.” For its new curriculum, Florida recommends one textbook: Land of Hope: An Invitation to the Great American Story, by Wilfred McClay. As American patriotism plummets, McClay partly blames history class, which he thinks isn't teaching students a “love of country.” Ahead of July 4 and America's 250th, Hanna talks with McClay about whether teaching should background or foreground the sins of a country—and what might be lost or gained. --- Get more from your favorite Atlantic voices when you subscribe.
