Today, we bring to you two cases of crime in the age of AI. First, cybercriminals are using our own voices against us. Audio deepfake scams are picking up against individuals but also against businesses. We hear from a bank on how they're adapting defenses, and find out how the new defenses are a game of AI vs AI. Then, we move over to the stock market to witness AI market manipulation. A new breed of trading bots behave differently. They could collude with each other, even without human involvement or instruction, so researchers are asking how to think about blame, and regulation in a world of more sophisticated trading bots. That's assuming regulators could even keep up with the tech in the first place.

It's October, so 2025's Season of Spoop begins! This year the theme is "high school horror." To start off this year's series, Nate and Tyler (hosts of the Hate Speech Podcast, The Bruce Campbell Podcast and Animorphing Time Podcast) return to discuss 1998's science fiction horror film "The Faculty" directed by Robert Rodriguez with a screenplay by Kevin Williamson. They talk about what makes high school scary, the supreme late-90s nostalgia in this movie, and whether or not it still holds up. They also get into Kevin Williamson's writing, all the obvious horror movie references, what seems problematic under a modern lens, and many other aspects of the flick. Nate, Tyler, Derek and Aaron aren't aliens, they're discontent.

his week on The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast, Clay and Amanda dive into one of the wildest, weirdest experiments in modern cinema: 2007's Grindhouse, the double-feature mashup from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. On one side you've got Rodriguez's gooey, gonzo Planet Terror, a zombie-action extravaganza filled with melting bodies, exploding heads, and a machine gun leg. On the other, Tarantino's Death Proof, a talky, tense, and brutal slasher on wheels starring Kurt Russell as a stuntman with murderous intentions. Throw in some fake trailers from the likes of Edgar Wright, Rob Zombie, and Eli Roth, and what you've got is a love letter to trash cinema that's messy, ambitious, and unlike anything else that's come out of Hollywood in the last twenty years. Clay and Amanda unpack what worked, what didn't, and why the whole package still holds a strange place in horror fans' hearts.Now, that's all well and good, but I have to admit something: when I heard they were covering Grindhouse, my brain went in a totally different direction. Because to me, “Grind” means one thing — MTV's The Grind, the sweaty, neon-soaked, mid-'90s dance party beamed into homes across America every afternoon. You know the one — crop tops, Jock Jams, people doing the Macarena under pulsating strobe lights. Honestly, I thought Clay and Amanda were about to drop the definitive podcast documentary on Eric Nies' greatest cultural contribution. Imagine my disappointment when it turned out to be about exploding pustules and creepy stuntmen instead of body glitter and choreographed hip thrusts.Still, horror fans are in for a treat, even if my dance nostalgia remains tragically unmet. Join Clay and Amanda as they revisit Grindhouse—just, you know, the blood-soaked one, not the bass-thumping one.And don't forget to head over to patreon.com/thepenskyfile to follow Clay and Amanda down the muddy path of remakes and reboots too!
We want to make a board game. It must, of course, teach the world about economics. It must be fun. It'd be nice if it sold lots of copies! How hard could that be!? (Monopoly and Catan are hugely popular and basically little economy simulators, after all.)Well, turns out, it's quite hard!We're in a golden age of tabletop games. Thirty years ago there were around 800 new games each year. Now it is more like 5,000. Just a handful of those get to be hits. In the first episode of our new series, Planet Money sets forth on an epic quest to beat the odds.

What if the founder of one of the internet's most enduring brands… never wanted to run a company?In 1995, Craig Newmark was a 42-year-old computer programmer in San Francisco who simply wanted to share local tech meetups with friends. He started an email list that became Craigslist—a website that reshaped how we find jobs, apartments, and community.In this conversation, Craig opens up about how not having a grand vision (or a taste for power) led to one of the most popular platforms in the world. With fewer than 50 employees, Craigslist still generates hundreds of millions in revenue—while looking like a website frozen in 1996.This is the story of an “accidental entrepreneur” who built a global brand by being in the right place at the right time—and why he now calls himself the Forrest Gump of the Internet.In this episode, you'll learn:Why keeping things simple is often the smartest design choice.How knowing your weaknesses can be the ultimate superpower.Why community beats marketing every time.How to monetize minimally—and still build a wildly profitable company.Why luck and timing matter more than you might think.Timestamps:07:10 Craig's childhood struggles with social situations—and how local Holocaust survivors shaped his worldview16:15 Discovering the early internet and becoming an “evangelist” at Charles Schwab20:07 The simple email list that broke at 240 addresses—and became “Craig's List”29:16 Why Craig refused banner ads and said no to early monetization35:00 Handing the CEO role to Jim Buckmaster—and how that decision led to Craigslist's success49:44 eBay buys a stake in Craigslist, then launches a competitor—sparking a messy legal battle53:46 Was Craigslist really responsible for killing newspaper classifieds?

From February 2013, visionary animator Ralph Bakshi joined me to discuss his then-new project Last Days of Coney Island, now streaming on YouTube and Vimeo. The series marked Bakshi's return to gritty 1960s New York, promising raw stories of police corruption, gangs, prostitution, and the decade's disillusionment following the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy.Bakshi also teased potential new sequences for cult favorites like Wizards, Coonskin, and Heavy Traffic, including a long-imagined Wizards scene where the pacifist hero Peace halts a WWII German-style train full of captives. Bakshi shared candid updates on the rumored live-action remake of his 1983 fantasy Fire and Ice, co-created with Frank Frazetta. According to Bakshi, director Robert Rodriguez was eyeing a Sin City-style adaptation, aiming to begin shooting after wrapping Sin City 2.Along the way, Bakshi reflected on his groundbreaking career, from his early years at TerryToons to his enduring influence on animation. This conversation captures Bakshi at his fiery best—unfiltered, defiant, and still pushing boundaries.
The unexpected brilliance of From Dusk Till Dawn lies in its fearless genre-bending approach. Starting as a gritty crime thriller following the Gecko brothers on a violent spree across Texas, the film morphs into a blood-soaked vampire extravaganza without warning – leaving audiences either thrilled or bewildered. This bold storytelling choice creates an unforgettable viewing experience that continues to captivate fans decades after its release.George Clooney shines as Seth Gecko, bringing a perfect balance of menace and charisma to his role as the professional criminal trying to keep his unstable brother Richie (Quentin Tarantino) in check. Harvey Keitel delivers a powerful performance as Jacob Fuller, a former pastor who lost his faith but finds purpose again when facing literal demons. When these unlikely allies end up at the "Titty Twister," a remote strip club that serves as a front for ancient vampires, they're forced to fight for survival until dawn.Robert Rodriguez's direction perfectly complements Tarantino's script, creating a film that's simultaneously disturbing, hilarious, and action-packed. The practical effects may seem dated by today's standards, but they give the film a tangible quality that CGI often lacks. From Salma Hayek's mesmerizing entrance as Santanico Pandemonium to the creative vampire kills throughout the final act, every moment feels both unexpected and inevitable.What makes From Dusk Till Dawn endure isn't just its shocking mid-film twist or its quotable dialogue – it's how it constantly subverts expectations while telling a surprisingly coherent story about redemption and survival. The film refuses to be categorized, blending crime thriller, horror, dark comedy, and action elements into something uniquely entertaining. Whether you're experiencing it for the first time or revisiting this cult classic, prepare for a blood-soaked journey that starts in a liquor store and ends in a temple of ancient vampire gods.

Israel has been blocking the flow of physical money into Gaza since the start of the war. So whatever paper cash was in Gaza before the war, that's all that's been circulating. It's falling apart from overuse. Two best friends, one in Gaza and one in Belgium, are now trying to get money in.But how do you get money into a bank account in Gaza? And how do you get that money out, in Gaza, when there are no functioning banks or ATMs? And almost no electricity. And spotty internet. And what is there to buy? How does money even work in Gaza right now?

Last month, President Donald Trump announced an unusual deal. Intel, the biggest microchip maker in America, had agreed to give the United States a 10 percent stake in its business. That means the U.S. government is now Intel's largest shareholder — and a major American company is now a partially state-owned enterprise. This deal has raised a lot of eyebrows. The U.S. government almost never gets tangled up with businesses like this. Some have accused the president of taking a step toward, well, socialism.But the Intel deal didn't come out of nowhere. It's actually the latest chapter in one of the most aggressive economic experiments the United States has ever attempted. An experiment that Trump is now taking in a surprising new direction. On today's show, we unpack the Intel deal. Where did it come from, and what does it say about President Trump's unconventional approach to managing the economy.

Red Sonja It's been an age since we've seen Red Sonja... a Hyborian Age in fact! Since the characters creation in 1934, her adaption to comics in 1973 and the first film's release in 1985, she has caught the minds of innumerable great creators, artists and storytellers. She has also shown up in this film. After 2008's aborted Robert Rodriguez helmed version which was to star Rose McGowan, it's been a long time between drinks for the OG beautiful barbarian. it's obviously harder to get actors interested in scale mail bikinis in the modern market... it seems you just have to wait long enough and drop the budget enough that eventually someone just says "Screw it, why not?" and thats how we got here... All four of the review team are in for this review, "Occasionally Red Jill", "Pleasantly Earth-toned Peta", and "Concerningly Puce Dion". Though they are all mightily annoyed with "No Confirmed Colour Quinny" for his terrible choice... He's in movie-choosing-jail for a while yet to come... Synopsis The film follows the adventures of the nomad barbarian Sonja, who unites a group of unlikely warriors to face off against Dragan and his deadly consort Annisia. https://youtu.be/Lk7ItIJwAhE?si=Q1L00K3xC2kWIRvK As always, a Hyborian high five to the barbarian and babe-arians who join in with the conversation on the Twitch stream, live each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEDT. And an especially huge thanks to any of the generous stop-motion cycplopses who are kind enough to support us by smashing a tip in our jar via Ko-Fi, or subscribing on twitch... every bit helps us to keep the gladiator pits mucked out and the scale mail polished....

There's one question we seem to be hearing everywhere: “Is my job safe from AI?” Dozens of you, our listeners, have written to us about this. Saying things like, “Maybe my yoga teacher side gig is actually my safest bet now,” and “My parents were in real estate, and I never thought I'd say it ... but maybe that's what I should do?” If only there were a list that could tell you which jobs are safe from AI. We go looking for that list…and find that the AI future is going to be even weirder than we'd imagined.Today on the show: We talk to two researchers who have come up with some first drafts of the future. We learned more about the machines that might be coming for our jobs, and also, more about what it actually means to be human.Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.Today's episode was produced by Eric Mennel and edited by Marianne McCune.

President Donald Trump has been pressuring the Federal Reserve from a few angles. So we wanted to look at other examples of political pressure on central banks, to see what it might mean for us and for the economy. Enter the watchers. The people who've had their eyes trained on central banks all over the world, for years, notebooks out, scribbling down their observations. They've been trying to gauge just how independent of political pressure central banks actually are – and what happens when a central bank loses that independence. Today on the show, we sidle up next to three of the leading central bank watchers, to watch what they're watching.Further reading:- Carolina Garriga's: Revisiting Central Bank Independence in the World: An Extended Dataset- Lev Menand's: A New Measure of Central Bank Independence- Carola Binder's: Political Pressure on Central BanksFurther listening:- Lisa Cook and the fight for the Fed- A primer on the Federal Reserve's independence- The case for Fed independence in the Nixon tapes- A Locked Door, A Secret Meeting And The Birth Of The FedSubscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was produced by Willa Rubin with help from Sam Yellowhorse Kesler.

Plus: Quentin Tarantino's screenplay and how this collaboration anticipates 2007's Grindhouse (see previous episodes), worshipping Santanico Pandemonium, Trace's pitch to watch the TV series, and the many, MANY titles that we may cover in the future.

Welkom bij Nerd Culture #223, de Gamekings podcast waarin we het laatste nieuws en de heetste geruchten uit films, series en alles nerdy bespreken. In deze aflevering duiken we onder meer in de langverwachte terugkeer van Knight Rider op het grote scherm, gemaakt door niemand minder dan de makers van Cobra Kai. Daarnaast hebben we groot Marvel-nieuws: Jon Bernthal's Punisher krijgt volgens de laatste berichten een prominente rol in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Natuurlijk checken we ook trailers, opvallende statements en het laatste nieuws rondom franchises als Star Wars, Gladiator en Gremlins.The Punisher krijgt een grote rol in Spider-Man: Brand New DayHet MCU staat op scherp, want er gaan sterke geruchten dat Jon Bernthal's Punisher een grote rol krijgt in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Volgens scooper Daniel Richtman zou Frank Castle zelfs meer in beeld komen dan andere helden die in de film verschijnen, zoals Hulk en mogelijk Yelena Belova. Dat is groot nieuws: fans verwachten vaak een cameo, maar dit klinkt alsof Castle echt verweven raakt met Peter Parker's verhaal. Hoe hard gaat Marvel durven om de rauwe, gewelddadige toon van The Punisher samen te brengen met Spidey's wereld?Met Tom Holland terug als Peter Parker, Zendaya als MJ en Michael Mando's Scorpion die opnieuw zijn opwachting maakt, belooft dit een stevige mix van bekende gezichten en nieuwe dreigingen. Regisseur Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) heeft zijn handen vol, maar de potentie is enorm. In de podcast bespreken we hoe deze crossover de Spider-Man films kan veranderen – en of Frank Castle misschien wel dé gamechanger wordt voor Phase 6. Makers Cobra Kai komen met Knight Rider filmNa jaren van geruchten lijkt het eindelijk te gebeuren: Knight Rider krijgt een officiële filmadaptatie. De iconische 80's serie die David Hasselhoff tot superster maakte – met de onvergetelijke KITT, de AI Trans Am – wordt nieuw leven ingeblazen door de makers van Cobra Kai. Universal heeft bevestigd dat Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg en Josh Heald niet alleen het script schrijven, maar ook de regie en productie op zich nemen. Daarmee lijkt het project meer kans te maken dan eerdere pogingen, want rebootplannen rondom Knight Rider gaan al meer dan vijftien jaar rond. Van Kevin Hart en John Cena tot James Wan en zelfs gesprekken met James Gunn en Robert Rodriguez: niets kwam echt van de grond. Maar nu het team achter Cobra Kai aan het stuur zit, is de verwachting hoog.

Every September, the small town of La Junta, Colorado puts on a whole festival to celebrate a beloved local animal: the tarantula! Around this time of year, thousands of mature male tarantulas start to migrate en masse – but until recently, scientists didn't know what triggered them to move out of their cozy burrows. On today's show, biologist Dallas Haselhuhn explains how they solved the mystery, and how climate change could affect future treks.Want to hear about more critter mysteries?

In this episode, Charlie and George travel to Mexico for some stylish and sexy nineties gun play, it must mean Desperado! They delve into the films origins, as well as the career of writer/director/editor/sometimes musician Robert Rodriguez. To get there, they need to discuss his ground breaking debut, El Mariachi and the third installment of the trilogy, Once Upon A Time in Mexico. Expect bad impressions, sweaty chemistry (Banderas- Hayek, less so McGhee Brothers) and film trivia!
After witnessing a murder, a high school photographer believes the teachers at his school have been taken over by aliens and he investigates the odd phenomena sweeping over his school.The Faculty is a 90s scifi horror movie like no other, paying homage to so many films before it. It features an amazing cast of breakout stars, and it's directed by Robert Rodriguez. It truly feels like The Thing meets The Breakfast Club as a sci-fi mystery that stars Elijah Wood, Josh Harnett, Jordana Brewster, Clea Duvall, Robert Patrick, Famke Janssen, Piper Laurie, Usher, Salma Hayek, and Christopher McDonald to name a few. It's a cult classic that pits an unlikely band of high school teens, meeting all the stereotypes, against the teachers who are in charge and play host to a parasitic alien race.

Trust in experts is down. In all kinds of institutions and professions - in government, in media, in medical science... and lately, economists are feeling the burn acutely. In fact, President Trump just fired the economist who ran the Bureau of Labor Statistics, accusing her – with no evidence – of faking a jobs report that showed fewer gains than expected.In decades past, economists whispered in the ears of presidents. Now, many politicians and voters are disenchanted with the field.On today's show, we speak with economists about how distrust is messing with their minds and interfering with their work. Can they build up trust again?Today's episode was hosted by Amanda Aronczyk. It was produced by Sam Yellowhorse Kesler and edited by Marianne McCune with help from Jess Jiang.

Cultists, Sinners was a film that wore its influences on its sleeve. One obvious influence was the ‘90s Cult Classic From Dusk Till Dawn. The film kicked off a series of Grindhouse collaborations between directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, but does it really have more than superficial similarities to Sinners?

This week we're diving into Desperado (1995), Robert Rodriguez's bullet ballet of blood, guitars, and grit. Antonio Banderas is the slickest mariachi with a mission, Salma Hayek sets the screen on fire, and every shootout feels like a rock concert with a body count. It's tequila-soaked mayhem, slow-mo carnage, and enough style to make your sunglasses sweat. Lock the case. Load the guns. Let's blow the roof off. Did you enjoy the episode?

LIVE SHOW ALERT: August 18th, NYC. Get your tickets here. When news broke that a Japanese company, Nippon Steel, was buying the storied American steel company U.S. Steel, it was still 2023, just before an election. And right away, politicians from both sides of the aisle came out forcefully against the deal, saying the company should remain American. Before leaving office, President Biden even blocked the sale. But in a dramatic twist a few weeks ago, President Trump approved it. With a caveat: the U.S. would get what Trump called 'a golden share' in U.S. Steel.On our latest show: what even is a "golden share"? When has it been used before, and why? And, could deals like this be a good way to get foreign investment in American manufacturing...or is it government overreach?

“This is a Spike TV movie, right?” - Eric On this week's episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza gets down and dirty for the all-or-nothing days as we chat about Robert Rodriguez's still totally wild comic translation, Sin City! Thankfully, folks, this movie still looks totally rad! How eerie is Elijah Wood as Kevin? Even with as fun a ride as this is, did we really need to adapt every bit of the Miller sleaze vibes? Will Rodriguez ever get his edge back? How great is Mickey Rourke in this movie? Was having three different musicians do three different scores a good idea? Should the Hartigan story have been cut in two or should the film have been left as the triptych with the Hartnett character as the bookend? PLUS: Kurt Russell and the arctic crew from The Thing all check to see who's The Thing by doing the asparagus pee test! Sin City stars Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Josh Hartnett, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Carla Gugino, Rutger Hauer, Jaime King, Tommy Flanagan, Nick Offerman, Marley Shelton, Nick Stahl, Elijah Wood, Devon Aoki, Alexis Bledel, Powers Boothe, and the late, great Michael Madsen as Bob; directed by Robert Rodriguez. [EDITOR'S NOTE: We recorded this episode on June 18, several weeks before we lost Michael Madsen. The guy was a total legend, a singular performer who gave us so many memorable film appearances that we've loved and quoted a ton over the years. We'll miss the guy, gone way, way too soon. — Andrew] Our three-night, six-show residency at the Oxford Comedy Festival starts THIS FRIDAY, July 18th!

What people might picture when they think of "Made in America" ... might not look like the "Made in America" we have today.The U.S. does have a domestic manufacturing industry, including a garment manufacturing industry. In today's episode: We buy a garment made by factory workers in the U.S. – a basic purple sports bra – and learn how many people it took to make it, how much workers got paid to work on it ... and whether garment manufacturing is a job Americans want, or even know how, to do. Plus: why domestic garment manufacturing exists at all in the U.S., and whether the industry can grow.Other episodes: - What "Made in China" actually meansThis episode was reported and hosted by Sarah Gonzalez.

Slack-jawed action fans, welcome to Men of Action Podcast—the ultimate monthly throwdown! This episode pits two Robert Rodriguez sequels in a brutal showdown: 2013's explosive Machete Kills against 2014's gritty Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. We dive deep into whether these films deserve their sequel status, breaking down the high-octane action, star-studded casts, and Rodriguez's signature style. From Danny Trejo's machete mayhem to Jessica Alba's noir revenge, we decide which reigns supreme—or if both flop.

The meanest-looking man on screen, the star of Robert Rodriguez's Machete and its sequels, is perhaps better known Trejo's Cantina and other food emporiums have revealed the truth: despite his violent background he has reinvented himself as a good guy and plays that role extremely well, onscreen and off. (He also headlines a new streaming movie, Seven Cemeteries.) Leonard and Jessie enjoyed meeting him (via Zoom) and hearing the story of how he accidentally broke into movies and wound up working with some of the biggest names in the business.
After falling in love with the gelato shops of Buenos Aires, Josh Hochschuler came home to Dallas with a bold idea: bring authentic Argentine gelato to the U.S. He raised $600,000 from friends and family and opened a gelato shop called Talenti. The product was a hit - but the retail model wasn't. Faced with mounting losses, Josh shut down the store and moved into a warehouse to pivot to wholesale. With time, tenacity, and a now-iconic clear jar, Talenti became a national sensation, and in 2014, was acquired by Unilever. Today, it's the best-selling gelato brand in America.This episode was produced by Casey Herman and edited by Kevin Leahy, with research by Kerry Thompson and music by Ramtin Arablouei.

Over the past decade, politicians from both parties have courted American voters with an enticing economic prospect – the dream of bringing manufacturing and manufacturing jobs back to America. They've pushed for that dream with tariffs and tax breaks and subsidies. But what happens when one multinational company actually responds to those incentives, and tries to set up shop in Small Town, USA?Today on the show – how a battery factory ignited a political firestorm over what kind of factories we actually want in our backyard. And what happens when the global economy meets town hall democracy. This episode of Planet Money was produced by Emma Peaslee and Sylvie Douglis.

Today on the show – our crypto president. Just before President Donald Trump began his second administration in January, he and his business partners launched the $TRUMP coin. It's a memecoin that quickly raked in hundreds of millions of dollars. And there's a lot of earning potential still left on the table. Is that even legal?We bring you two stories from our daily show, The Indicator about President Trump and his ties to crypto. First, the Trump coin. We explain what it is, how the real Donald Trump profits from it, and yes, whether this whole crypto scheme is within the law. Then we take a look at Stablecoins: how they work, how they make money, and for whom.The original episodes from The Indicator were produced by Cooper Katz McKim and Corey Bridges.

Over the last few months U.S.-China trade relations have been pretty hard to make sense of – unless you look at what's happening through the lens of game theory. Game theory is all about how decisions are made, based not just on one side's options and payoffs, but on the choices and incentives of others.So, are Donald Trump and Xi Jinping competing in a simple game of chicken? Or is the game more like the prisoner's dilemma? On today's show, we try to decide which of four possibilities might be the best model for this incredibly high-stakes game. And we take a look at who is playing well and who might need to adjust their strategy.For more on the U.S.-China trade war: - The 145% tariff already did its damage - What happened to U.S. farmers during the last trade war - What "Made in China" actually meansThis show was hosted by Keith Romer and Amanda Aronczyk.

As a young entrepreneur in the Wild West days of the internet, Alex Tew was drawn to meditation for its simple calming power. Together with fellow tech founder Michael Acton Smith–known for hits like Moshi Monsters–the two brainstormed ways to bring the ancient practice of meditation into the 21st century. In 2011, they bought the domain calm.com, built an app, and started producing meditations and Sleep Stories, narrated by celebrities like Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba. Despite initial pushback from investors who insisted no one would want to meditate on their phone–let alone pay for it– the Calm app grew to a valuation of nearly $2 billion, with 180 million total downloads. This episode was researched and produced by Katherine Sypher with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei. It was edited by Neva Grant.

Founder Paul Hedrick is a Texan who realized that cowboy boots were either too expensive or too cheap, so he decided to create a premium brand with an attainable price. He traveled repeatedly to the cowboy boot capital of the world – León, Mexico – to obsess over every detail, and later he expanded his DTC business to make a surprising bet on brick-and-mortar stores. Today, beyond boots, Tecovas sells jeans, shirts, dresses, hats, and bags, and this year, the company expects to do more than $300 million in sales.This episode was produced by Alex Cheng with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

The U.S. exports billions of dollars worth of agricultural products each year — things like soybeans, corn and pork. And over the last month, these exports have been caught up in a trade war. U.S. farmers have been collateral damage in a trade war before. In 2018, President Trump put tariffs on a bunch of Chinese products including flatscreen TVs, medical devices and batteries. But China matched those tariffs with their own retaliatory tariffs. They put tariffs on a lot of U.S. agricultural products they'd been buying, like soybeans, sorghum, and livestock. That choice looked strategic. Hitting these products with tariffs hurt Trump's voter base and might help China in a negotiation. And in some cases, China could find affordable alternative options from other countries.Today on the show: what happened in 2018, how the government prevented some U.S. farms from going bankrupt, and what was lost even after the trade war ended.This episode was produced by Sylvie Douglis and edited by Jess Jiang.
