Podcasts about Race

Can simply imagining yourself doing something actually make you better at it? Athletes, musicians, and performers have sworn by mental rehearsal for years — but does it really work? This episode begins by exploring when visualization helps, when it doesn't, and why. https://www.popsci.com/will-practicing-skill-your-head-make-you-better-it/ Weight loss is one of the most common New Year's resolutions — and today, any serious conversation about losing weight quickly turns to Ozempic and similar drugs. For many people, these medications have been remarkably effective. But how do they actually work? Are they safe long-term? What are the side effects? And what happens when you stop taking them? Aimee Donnellan joins me to break down the science, the risks, and the realities. She is a columnist at Reuters who covers the pharmaceutical industry and author of Off the Scales: The Inside Story of Ozempic and the Race to Cure Obesity (https://amzn.to/44tBoqE). Money is so embedded in our lives that we rarely stop to question it — yet nearly every culture on Earth has invented its own version. Money has shaped human behavior, powered civilizations, and driven innovation, for thousands of years. David McWilliams explains the extraordinary history of money and how it really works. He is a former central bank economist, host of The David McWilliams Podcast, and author of The History of Money: A Story of Humanity. (https://amzn.to/4anViHd). Cold weather can feel unbearable — but there are simple, science-backed ways to stay warmer (or at least feel warmer) when temperatures drop. This episode wraps up with practical strategies that actually work. https://www.thehealthy.com/home-remedies/make-body-feel-warmer/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 400: In October 1894, 18-year-old Frank Westwood was shot on the doorstep of his Parkdale home. The killing shocked Toronto and sparked a frantic search for a suspect. Weeks later, a mixed-race tailor named Clara Ford walked into a Toronto police station and was quickly accused of the murder. With no weapon, no motive, and a disputed confession, her trial exposed deep racial bias and divided the city. This episode looks at Clara's life, the investigation that targeted her, and the aftermath of the trial that captivated Canada's largest city.

There are rumblings that Democrats may try to remove Dr. Marie Feagins from the county mayor’s race. They argue that Feagins may not meet the criteria necessary to run as a Democrat. That could set up a possible Independent run. Listen LIVE Weekdays 7AM Central on the KWAM app, or Mighty990.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Consider the president's attack on Leftism, indirectly he is addressing the drug problem. Particularly when you consider that 2.1 Democrats left the party during the Biden years. I see that as a Trump intervention that ultimately added 2.5 million new Republicans during the same period.To be a Democrats, you almost have to be on a psychotic drug, a hallucinogen. Because along with the most insane policy positions, Democrats want their supporters to believe blatant lies.https://www.turkiyetoday.com/world/russia-evacuates-diplomats-families-from-venezuela-as-us-seizes-oil-tankers-3211754?s=1Russia's Foreign Ministry has begun evacuating the families of diplomats from Venezuela, a European intelligence official told AP on Monday, as the United States pursues its third sanctioned oil tanker in the Caribbean and President Donald Trump convenes senior national security officials at his Mar-a-Lago resort.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On episode 248, we welcome Dorothy Roberts to discuss the history of interracial marriage in the US, how it was used to help sustain Black slavery, Dorothy's resistance to and eventual acceptance of being biracial, her disagreements with her father (a fellow researcher) on the benefits of interracial marriages, defining race and why Nazis and white supremacists  both struggled to define whiteness,  whether love can overcome social injustice on its own, the Black Belt being populated with whites, and how culture and power influence whom we feel attracted to and love. Dorothy Roberts is the George A. Weiss University Professor of Law and Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, where she directs the Penn Program on Race, Science, and Society. The author of five books, including Killing the Black Body, a MacArthur Fellow, and member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

We know that Democrats have made a business of ripping off the government.Care to guess how much money we've lost over two decades since Obama was president? Remember, we doubled our national debt. Now you get an idea where all that money went. While Black Americans scream for reparations, you have Somalians getting PAID. Why haven't Black Americans revolted against Sharpton, Jackson, and the other Black pimps?The Somalis have ONE Congressional rep, and they are getting BILLIONS from Tim Walz, and those lily-white Minnesotans.https://x.com/GrageDustin/status/2004931845251825881Minnesota's largest paper just released its Year in Review.Not a single mention of the fraud consuming our state.

Christians in Nigeria have been asking for help for over a decade, yet their country did nothing. And nobody expected the worthless Obama and Biden administrations to step up.Oh the irony that the man Democrats have deemed the Nth coming of Hitler would dare protect Black people in Nigeria. Leave it to President Trump to get Nigeria to finally come to the table and allow the U.S. to protect Christians. Understand that allowing Islam to grow and fester is tantamount to destroying Christianity. Let's hope that President Trump's decisive actions cause other governments to take a harder look at Islam and the radicals who practice it. All countries can take lessons from Poland, Japan, and even China in their dealings with radical Muslims.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this interview, she discusses her book, Race, Politics, and Irish America: A Gothic History (Oxford UP, 2023), which inserts successive Irish-American identities--forcibly transported Irish, Scots-Irish, and post-Famine Irish--into American histories and representations of race. Figures from the Scots-Irish Andrew Jackson to the Caribbean-Irish Rihanna, as well as literature, film, caricature, and beauty discourse, convey how the Irish racially transformed multiple times: in the slave-holding Caribbean, on America's frontiers and antebellum plantations, and along its eastern seaboard. This cultural history of race and centuries of Irishness in the Americas examines the forcibly transported Irish, the eighteenth-century Presbyterian Ulster-Scots, and post-1845 Famine immigrants. Their racial transformations are indicated by the designations they acquired in the Americas: 'Redlegs,' 'Scots-Irish,' and 'black Irish.' In literature by Fitzgerald, O'Neill, Mitchell, Glasgow, and Yerby (an African-American author of Scots-Irish heritage), the Irish are both colluders and victims within America's racial structure. Depictions range from Irish encounters with Native and African Americans to competition within America's immigrant hierarchy between 'Saxon' Scots-Irish and 'Celtic' Irish Catholic. Irish-connected presidents feature, but attention to queer and multiracial authors, public women, beauty professionals, and performers complicates the 'Irish whitening' narrative. Thus, 'Irish Princess' Grace Kelly's globally-broadcast ascent to royalty paves the way for 'America's royals,' the Kennedys. The presidencies of the Scots-Irish Jackson and Catholic-Irish Kennedy signalled their respective cohorts' assimilation. Since Gothic literature particularly expresses the complicity that attaining power ('whiteness') entails, subgenres named 'Scots-Irish Gothic' and 'Kennedy Gothic' are identified: in Gothic by Brown, Poe, James, Faulkner, and Welty, the violence of the colonial Irish motherland is visited upon marginalized Americans, including, sometimes, other Irish groupings. History is Gothic in Irish-American narrative because the undead Irish past replays within America's contexts of race.

This episode was first published in August.In the space of a few short years, generative AI has exploded into our daily lives, impacting the way we learn, work and understand the world around us.Open AI, the American artificial intelligence company cofounded by Sam Altman and Elon Musk in 2015 which runs ChatGPT, claims its non-profit “mission” is to ensure these systems “benefit all of humanity”.And while the launch of ChatGPT has undoubtedly lightened the workload of many, engineer, journalist and AI expert Karen Hao says the AI race for world domination carries a huge human and environmental cost.In 2019, Hao spent three days embedded in the offices of OpenAI and discovered this company, which claims to be transparent and operating “for the good of humanity”, was in fact highly secretive.In her bestselling book ‘Empire of AI: Inside the reckless race for total domination', Hao warns that the world has entered a new and ominous age of empire, where a small handful of companies are writing the future of humanity.Today, on the In The News podcast, how the race for total AI domination is repeating the worst of human history.Karen Hao discusses the severe cost of the seemingly unstoppable growth of OpenAI.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

As a new year begins, there is often an unspoken pressure to feel motivated, clear, and already moving forward. But not everyone starts the year feeling strong. Some start stalled. Some start somewhere in between. In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we explore why either way is okay and why what matters most is practicing the space of G.R.A.C.E. Grace is not a process. Grace is a practice. When we feel stalled, old patterns often rush in. Shame. Stigma. Rumination. Past criticisms. Stories that were never ours to carry. None of these support healing or growth. This episode introduces the G.R.A.C.E. practice as a way to move beyond coping and into grounded, compassionate self leadership. In this episode, we explore: • Why starting strong does not eliminate the need for grace • Why starting stalled is not a failure • How shame and past conditioning hijack the nervous system • Why grace is a daily practice, not a checklist The G.R.A.C.E. Practice G Ground Returning to the body and the present moment through sensation and breath. R Recognize Naming what is activated while staying anchored in now. A Allow Giving yourself permission to assess and adjust rather than suppress or react. C Choose Remembering that you have choice and practicing responses ahead of time. E Exit and Emerge Stepping into safety and returning when ready, without rushing or escaping. Whether this year has started strong or stalled, this practice offers a way forward that honors healing, agency, and humanity. If this episode resonates, consider sharing it with someone who may need permission to slow down and offer themselves grace. Follow, subscribe, and leave a review to support PTSD and Beyond.

In Bogotá, the political landscape for the 2026 general elections is beginning to crystallize. The Centro Democrático, the primary opposition party founded by former President Álvaro Uribe Vélez, has officially announced Senator Paloma Valencia as its single presidential candidate. She notably surpassed high-profile colleagues María Fernanda Cabal and Paola Holguín.While some analysts have viewed this as a surprising pivot, others see it as a calculated move toward the ideological center-right. Today, we analyze what this means for Colombia's investment climate and how Valencia's profile differs from the "outsider" candidates currently leading early polls.Watch the video version here! https://youtu.be/g_O9mQewW3MListen onApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/colombia-business-news/id1630614746?uo=4Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2rGvtxx1tj7okxz7oRhhzvAudible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/06d26789-6533-4c2f-9b88-1ba555f35836iHeartRadio: https://iheart.com/podcast/98480908Sources and mentionshttps://www.financecolombia.com/in-apparent-desperation-colombian-president-ivan-duque-releases-english-self-interview-whining-about-protests-deflecting-blame/https://www.wradio.com.co/2025/12/15/paloma-valencia-es-la-candidata-oficial-del-centro-democratico-para-elecciones-presidenciales-2026/https://www.swissinfo.ch/spa/senadora-paloma-valencia-es-elegida-candidata-presidencial-del-uribista-centro-democr%C3%A1tico/90643657#:~:text=Valencia%2C%20abogada%20de%2047%20a%C3%B1os,Fernanda%20Cabal%20y%20Paola%20Holgu%C3%ADnhttps://thecitypaperbogota.com/news/hard-left-candidate-ivan-cepeda-leads-poll-for-colombias-2026-election/#:~:text=Cepeda's%20lead%20reflects%20firm%20support,drawing%20backing%20among%20younger%20votershttps://www.swissinfo.ch/spa/senadora-paloma-valencia-es-elegida-candidata-presidencial-del-uribista-centro-democr%C3%A1tico/90643657#:~:text=En%20segundo%20lugar%20se%20situaba,con%20el%208%2C5%20%25https://www.lasillavacia.com/silla-nacional/paloma-la-candidata-con-la-que-el-uribismo-juega-hacia-el-centro/https://www.lasillavacia.com/en-vivo/con-el-46-y-el-17-paloma-gano-las-dos-encuestas-del-uribismo/https://www.eltiempo.com/politica/elecciones-colombia-2026/estos-son-los-movimientos-y-retos-de-las-campanas-politicas-en-la-opinion-publica-de-cara-a-las-elecciones-del-2026-3517280Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/Wikipedia Commons photosClaudia Lopez: Patty Suescún, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0Uribe: Jcvelezuribe, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0Paloma Valencia: Andresx8, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0,María Fernanda: ElBarcobasurero, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0Abelardo de la Espriella: Paulaicf, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0Sergio Fajardo: World Economic Forum, CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/ Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/ Read more at Cognitive Business News: https://cognitivebusiness.news/ The place for bilingual talent! https://empleobilingue.com/ More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/write Contact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

“For only $396,164 tax dollars a day, you can help support an imaginary child at a Somalian daycare center”.America got another wake up call. The alarm has sounded many times. Like the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. A mass migration of Democrats happened shortly thereafter. He got elected, and the threats continued until they got Charlie Kirk. That was a wake-up call for many, and again thousands of Democrats left their party.Now we get this explosive scandal with multiple nationalities of immigrants, but specifically the Somalis.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Thompson stated, “They're essentially shell companies created to defraud the program created to submit on a wholesale level, fraudulent claims for services that aren't necessary and are not provided. It's been allowed to go on for far too long, and we need to do whatever we can to stop it in its tracks.”Investigators said large sums were sent overseas, primarily to Kenya, often to purchase real estate. Thompson said some defendants came from outside Minnesota after learning of the state's housing programs' vulnerabilities.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

An engaging investigation of how 13 key Enlightenment figures shaped the concept of race, from the acclaimed author of Diderot and the Art of Thinking Freely. Over the first decades of the 18th century, Christianity began to lose its grip on the story of humankind. Yet centuries of xenophobia, religious intolerance, and proto-biological ideas did not simply disappear. This raw material was increasingly “processed” by secularly minded thinkers who claimed the right to rethink the category of the human. By century's end, naturalists and classifiers had divided the human species into racial categories using methods that we now associate with the Enlightenment era. In Biography of a Dangerous Idea, prize-winning biographer and Enlightenment specialist Andrew S. Curran retells this story through the medium of group biography. Written more like a detective story than traditional history, the book traces the emergence of race through the lives of 13 pivotal figures, among them Louis XIV, Buffon, Linnaeus, Voltaire, Hume, Adam Smith, Blumenbach, Kant, and Jefferson. Moving from the gilded halls of Versailles to the slave plantations of the Caribbean, from the court of the Mughal Empire to the drawing rooms of Monticello, this sweeping narrative not only reveals how the Enlightenment's ultimate Promethean quest intertwined with systems of oppression and empire, but also offers a groundbreaking reassessment of the era's most famous luminaries.

Written more like a detective story than traditional history, the book traces the emergence of race through the lives of 13 pivotal figures, among them Louis XIV, Buffon, Linnaeus, Voltaire, Hume, Adam Smith, Blumenbach, Kant, and Jefferson. Moving from the gilded halls of Versailles to the slave plantations of the Caribbean, from the court of the Mughal Empire to the drawing rooms of Monticello, this sweeping narrative not only reveals how the Enlightenment's ultimate Promethean quest intertwined with systems of oppression and empire, but also offers a groundbreaking reassessment of the era's most famous luminaries.

Universities have been trying to curb dangerous binge drinking for years. Today's students are glued to their phones, and Abby Braitman (Old Dominion University) and her colleagues are meeting them where they are for interventions. And: Meagan Brem (Virginia Tech) says that drinking is intertwined with a lot of the intimate partner violence that happens on college campuses. Later in the show: There's a psychedelic renaissance going on in Javier González-Maeso's (Virginia Commonwealth University) biochemistry lab. He's hoping to develop a new drug using psilocybin, the component found in magic mushrooms, to help people battling alcohol abuse disorder. Plus: How Jasmohan Bajaj (Virginia Commonwealth University) discovered that addiction lives in the gut, not the mind.

An engaging investigation of how 13 key Enlightenment figures shaped the concept of race, from the acclaimed author of Diderot and the Art of Thinking Freely. Over the first decades of the 18th century, Christianity began to lose its grip on the story of humankind. Yet centuries of xenophobia, religious intolerance, and proto-biological ideas did not simply disappear. This raw material was increasingly “processed” by secularly minded thinkers who claimed the right to rethink the category of the human.

Generic drugs are, in many ways, the unsung hero of America's health care system, bringing powerful medical innovations within the reach of millions more people. These cheaper copies of brand-name drugs — from pills that stop heart attacks to antibiotics that cure life-threatening infections — save America hundreds of billions of dollars a year. But will affordable, high-quality generic drugs continue to be there when we need them?Some players are abandoning this business while others slash costs by cutting dangerous corners. Shortages of older generic drugs have become the norm, sending doctors scrambling. At the same time, crucial new medicines are proving tougher to copy on the cheap, saddling patients with brand-name prices.Over the course of “Race to the Bottom,” our new three-part podcast series, we'll explore why this industry that's so essential to our health is in trouble — and what could change that.In part one, we examine the history of this industry. Forty years ago this month, President Ronald Reagan signed groundbreaking, bipartisan legislation that gave birth to a new drug market. Lawmakers made choices back then that help explain the wild success and also the troubles we see today with generic medicines.Guests:Christine Baeder, MBA, President, Apotex USAAlfred Engelberg, JD, retired attorney and former counsel to the Generic Pharmaceutical AssociationLeslie Walker, Senior Reporter/Producer, TradeoffsLearn more and read a full transcript on our website.Al Engelberg's recently published memoir, “Breaking the Medicine Monopolies”, digs into the history of generic drugs.

I feel compelled to speak today. I contemplated rebroadcasting last year's show, because it was so poignant. We had just gotten Trump re-elected and I was jubilant, as were many of you. And then we had what has to be the greatest year in politics in my lifetime.Never, repeat NEVER have we had so much leverage over Democrats. They created every problem they currently face, and they have many.I'd like to focus today's show on what's coming. Because we reflected on what happened last year, and I'm sure we will continue to flashback, so as not to forget history. But now we must start codifying our wins from last year.Before I get into our wins and tell you what I think will be the biggest story of 2026, I want to begin with OUR resolutions.I made the resolution last year to fight like a cornered jaguar for the next 4 years, so I'm in Year 2 of that resolution.Did you make any resolutions that you lived up to?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Americans will not have a better year than 2026, at least until 2027. How about that 2025! Remember how happy we were knowing that the New Year would bring President-elect Trump's 2nd term? What a thrill. We reflect on that and the leftist craziness that was to ensue.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Today's 'pro-Europeans' would be horrified at the suggestion that their idea of Europe had anything to do with whiteness. In fact, many would find the attempt to link the two baffling and outrageous," writes Hans Kundnani in Eurowhiteness: Culture, Empire and Race in the European Project (Oxford UP, 2023). Yet, he does so - taking the reader on a historical journey through the development of European identity from Christendom to the coincidence of the Enlightenment and the development of colonialism to the pan-European movement that grew out of the first world war and peace project (or was it?) that emerged from the second. Not only is pro-Europeanism “analogous to nationalism - something like nationalism but on a larger, continental scale," Kundani argues, but the EU itself has “become a vehicle for imperial amnesia" thereby promoting and privileging “whiteness”. Hans Kundnani is a fellow at the Open Society Foundations Workshop, an associate scholar at the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), and a visiting scholar at the Robert L. Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies at The New School for Social Research. From 2018-22, he was a full-time researcher at Chatham House, including as director of the Europe Programme. Before that, he was a researcher at the German Marshall Fund, the Transatlantic Academy, and the European Council on Foreign Relations. In 2014, he published The Paradox of German Power. *The author's own book recommendations are Eurafrica: The Untold History of European Integration and Colonialism by Peo Hansen and Stefan Jonsson (Bloomsbury Academic, 2015) and The Lonely Londoners by Sam Selvon (Penguin Modern Classics, 2006 - first published in 1956) Tim Gwynn Jones is an economic and political-risk analyst at Medley Advisors, who also writes the twenty4two newsletter on Substack and hosts the In The Room podcast series.

They have all the elements of a moral panic. So in this installment of Code Switch History Class, we're looking at the history of moral panics in the U.S., and why they so often invoke fears about race and integration.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
