"Tell me about a complicated man." So begins Emily Wilson's contemporary translation of Homer's Odyssey — establishing her as the definitive Homeric translator of our time and radically transforming how we understand a cornerstone of western literature. As The Odyssey enters the pop cultural arena this summer via Christopher Nolan's big-screen adaptation — a film inspired by Wilson's translation — she joins us for a conversation about why the The Odyssey has endured for nearly 3,000 years. In the first English translation of The Odyssey by a woman, written in a vivid contemporary idiom, Wilson captures the beauty and enchantment of Homer's poem without poeticizing its carnage — a profound reflection on violence, marriage, and family. Nearly a decade after that translation gave Homer "a radically contemporary voice" (The New York Times Magazine), and nearly three millennia after it was originally composed, The Odyssey remains shockingly relevant. In this conversation with the Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Sarah Ruhl, whose work is profoundly influenced by Greek myth and famously modernized Eurydice for the stage, Wilson asks: what can a story about travelers and the aftermath of war tell us about our own world in an era of mass migration, riven by military and political conflict? What can this epic of a "complicated man" reveal to us about contemporary masculinity and violence? In a nation rooted in myths of rugged individualism and sacred homeland, how does The Odyssey hold up a mirror to American life? Hear Wilson and Ruhl discuss The Odyssey's circuitous path through the waters of Western culture — from ancient song to modern verse to Hollywood. Find out how this archaic text, in the hands of a master translator, can offer a startling vision of how we live today. "Wilson's language is fresh, unpretentious and lean… It is rare to find a translation that is at once so effortlessly easy to read and so rigorously considered." ― Madeline Miller

Only in this past year did it come on my radar that some therapy clinics are offering prenatal therapy. While I can personally relate to the desire to have a therapist guide you through such a complex stage of health, I thought that because it isn't offered widely, the evidence base would probably be weak.I couldn't have been more wrong. The evidence for prenatal prevention therapy is robust for improving:Pelvic health. Pelvic floor muscle training during pregnancy reduces urinary incontinence by 28% and cuts the risk of severe perineal tears in half (Zhang et al., 2024).Pregnancy outcomes. Prenatal exercise programs lower the risk of gestational diabetes by 25%, hypertensive disorders by 33%, and cesarean delivery by 14% (Xiang et al., 2026).Mental health. Mind-body interventions like yoga, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy significantly reduce prenatal anxiety, depression, and stress — while also improving pain management and self-efficacy (Miao et al., 2026).Maternal role and quality of life. OT-specific prenatal interventions improve maternal quality of life, emotional regulation, and coping — with benefits that persist into the postpartum period (Karakus & Akyurek, 2026).Despite this evidence, prenatal therapy remains vastly underutilized. The gap between what the research supports and what is actually available to pregnant individuals represents one of the biggest opportunities in our profession right now.In this course, we'll welcome Marissa Ruhl from Thrive OT, who is paving the way in offering these services and will share what she has learned about helping to build a thriving practice around this massive need.See full course details here:https://otpotential.com/continuing-education/course/prenatal-therapy See all OT CEU courses here:https://otpotential.com/ceu-podcast-coursesCheck our our live webinar schedule here:https://otpotential.com/live-ot-ceu-webinarsSupport the show by using the OTPOTENTIAL Medbridge Code:https://otpotential.com/blog/promo-code-for-medbridgeTry 2 free OT Potential courses here:https://otpotential.com/free-ot-ceusSupport the show

Folge 195: Man fährt den Berg hoch, landet in einem weißen Schloss, und plötzlich sitzen da zwei "Dennises". Klingt nach Verwechslung, ist aber Hochpräzision: Buddy und Carsten sind im Vendôme in Bergisch Gladbach und sprechen mit Dennis Kuckuck (Küchenchef und Nachfolger des legendären Joachim Wissler) und Dennis Ruhl (Sommelier) über das, was in der Spitzengastronomie selten laut gesagt wird: Wie fühlt sich Verantwortung an, wenn alle „Sterne“ sagen, du aber erst mal „Stabilität“ liefern musst? Es geht um Klasse ohne Gehabe und um Geschmack, der nicht schreien muss und es geht um die Staffelübergabe, um Druck, um Selbstvertrauen (ohne Ego-Show) und um dieses herrlich deutsche Klischee der großen Fußstapfen, das hier mit Genuss vom Tisch gewischt wird. Dazu liefert die Folge das, was Soulfood Passionistas am stärksten kann: Wärme im Gespräch, klare Sätze im Inhalt und Humor an genau den Stellen, an denen man sonst verkrampft. Bonus: Warum Service kein Anhängsel ist, sondern Stimmung baut, Fehler abfedert und Gästen das Gefühl gibt, wirklich willkommen zu sein. Am Ende bleibt ein Satz hängen: "Ohne Seele kommt kein Teller an. Und ohne Team bleibt selbst der beste Teller allein."#SOULFOOD # SOULFOODPASSIONISTAS # CARSTENHENN #GASTROSURIVIAL  #BUDDYZIPPER #GASTROPODCAST #KULINARIK #STERNEKUECHE  #KOCHGOTT #gastrosurivial #sterneküche #foodporn #foodlover #instafood #gastronomie #podcast @buddyzipper @carstenhenn @soulfoodpassionistas

Was ist dein Warum? Jeder Mensch hat ein Warum – einen tieferen Grund, der uns Kraft gibt, Richtung schenkt und uns durch herausfordernde Zeiten trägt. Doch oft verlieren wir es aus dem Blick oder wissen gar nicht, welches Warum Gott in unser Leben gelegt hat. In dieser Predigt geht es darum, wie ein klares Warum unser Leben verändert. Warum es uns stärkt, wenn das Leben kompliziert wird. Und warum Gott uns ein Warum schenkt, das größer ist als jede Herausforderung.

Denn Gott hat uns nicht einen Geist der Furcht gegeben, sondern der Kraft und der Liebe und der Besonnenheit. So schäme dich nun nicht des Zeugnisses unseres Herrn noch meiner, seines Gefangenen, sondern leide mit für das Evangelium nach der Kraft Gottes! 2. Timotheus 1:7 Die Season bietet sowohl Raum für visionäres, ermutigendes, für Instruktion und Inspiration, aber auch für seelsorgerische Botschaften: "Fürchte dich nicht." Was definitiv nicht zu kurz kommen soll: Wir wollen, dass Menschen Jesus kennenlernen und dafür benötigt es eine Kirche, die sich als Botschafter Jesu versteht und mutig das Evangelium verkündet.

Are Coincidences Really Messages from Heaven: Interview with Author Nancy L.A. Ruhl "Clues from Heaven"Adventure in faraway places awaits you in this true blockbuster autobiography about two American kids who met in the jungles of paradise. Their story, interwoven with drama and suspense, involves humor, a sea monster, tragedy, love, pets, adoption, surprises in the supernatural, challenges and a life-threatening event while working in an upper echelon of the US Government. Seeming coincidences join it all together and are finalized into a most amazing, heartwarming, emotionally touching and beautiful ending. It becomes obvious early in the book that an invisible, extremely intelligent, supernatural force possesses an all-encompassing stake in the final outcome of the events affecting our lives and all realities of present and future generations. This supernatural, invisible force, was labeled in the Twentieth Century as “the God factor.Per Albert Einstein, "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous." This book was written to encourage readers not to give up their hopes and dreams, nor doubt the God factor's existence or love for them in spite of challenges, tragedy and heartache. It invites them to take a second look at coincidences as a possible indication of Heaven's intervention and guidance in their life. It is meant to help dissuade natural-born skeptics from dismissing potential clues too quickly as merely coincidence. Most importantly, it also identifies many creative ways in which Heaven sends timely clues to encourage us to keep going until we reach the wonderful destiny the God factor has in store for us.Nancy, a published author and poet, was also a musician and singer giving concerts on the West Coast and Hawaii with appearances on radio and TV. She is a former Civil Service career employee having supervised the largest field office on the West Coast for GSA/PBS, Buildings Management Division. She also worked for the DOT/IRS, Criminal Division; the DOJ/US Attorney's Office, Criminal Division; the DOD/DON, Acquisition Department, Navy Litigation Task Force and Comptroller's Office.https://www.amazon.com/Clues-Heaven-Nancy-L-Ruhl-ebook/dp/B0FYKB1N8L?ref_=ast_author_mpbhttps://christianfaithpublishing.com/books/?book=clues-from-heavenhttps://www.kingpagespress.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/1826kpp2.mp3

Jaime Ruhl, CRO at Emergn, joins Warren Zenna to explore how a sales leader becomes a strategic revenue architect in a product‑centric consulting firm. She explains stepping into a broader remit that covers sales, go‑to‑market and marketing alignment across global teams. Jaime describes being a player‑coach who builds repeatable sales motion and champions measurable customer outcomes after delivery.Jaime digs into practical moves she led: shifting from sporadic lead chasing to a disciplined target account approach, tightening qualification at the funnel entrance, and leveraging intent signals, account reports and smarter prospecting tools. She describes building persona‑led outreach, thought leadership assets, and repeatable playbooks that scale account expansion and shorten cycles. Jaime also tightened lead handoff timing and aligned content cadence with selling motions.This episode contrasts consulting revenue with pure SaaS by unpacking stakeholder mapping, surrounding the customer with delivery, product and commercial teams, and balancing client intimacy with scalable processes. Jaime explains clearer handoffs, joint KPIs, role clarity and incentive design to reduce internal friction and drive sustainable expansion and retention. She stresses mapping buying centers and creating accountable cross‑functional teams.Jaime closes with tactical advice for new CROs: surround yourself with people who raise your game, ask why to learn the rationale behind decisions, pilot changes and lead by example, and cultivate mentors. She urges CROs to balance staying in the trenches to learn with delegating, define a focused go‑to‑market, test AI capabilities before broad rollout, and communicate early wins to build momentum.

This Day in Legal History: First African-American Woman Appointed JudgeOn July 22, 1939, history was made when New York City Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia appointed Jane Matilda Bolin to the city's Domestic Relations Court, making her the first African-American woman to serve as a judge in the United States. Born in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1908, Bolin faced significant racial and gender barriers throughout her career. Despite these challenges, she graduated from Wellesley College and later from Yale Law School, becoming the first black woman to earn a law degree from Yale.Judge Bolin's appointment to the Domestic Relations Court marked a groundbreaking moment in American legal history, as she brought a unique perspective and dedication to issues of family law and juvenile justice. Her tenure on the bench lasted an impressive 40 years, during which she worked tirelessly to advocate for the rights of children and families, regardless of their race or economic status.Bolin's contributions extended beyond the courtroom. She was instrumental in ending the practice of assigning probation officers based on race and pushed for the employment of probation officers regardless of their ethnic background. Her work helped to break down racial barriers and promote equality within the justice system. Jane Matilda Bolin's legacy continues to inspire future generations of lawyers and judges, reminding us of the importance of diversity and inclusion in the legal profession.Hunter Biden has dropped a lawsuit against Fox News regarding the broadcast of a fictionalized "mock trial" show that included nude photos and videos of him. The series, which aired on Fox Nation in October 2022, depicted a fictional trial about Hunter Biden's alleged foreign dealings. The lawsuit was filed earlier this month but was voluntarily dismissed without a specified reason. ABC News reported that Hunter plans to refile the suit against different defendants. Fox News reiterated that the lawsuit was "politically motivated" and without merit. The show was removed from the Fox Nation platform in April after legal threats from Biden's attorneys. The dismissal of the lawsuit coincides with President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race amid pressure from Democrats. Both Hunter Biden's and Fox News's representatives did not respond to requests for comment.Hunter Biden drops lawsuit against Fox News over 'mock trial' miniseries | ReutersAn Alaska attorney has requested the dismissal of a cyberstalking conviction for Rolando Hernandez-Zamora due to judicial misconduct by former Judge Joshua Kindred and a senior prosecutor. Hernandez-Zamora was convicted in June in Kindred's courtroom just days before Kindred resigned following findings of sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. The attorney, Alexis Howell, argues that Kindred's behavior, which included extensive text message exchanges with his clerk, mirrors the cyberstalking charges against Hernandez-Zamora. Howell also criticized the involvement of a senior prosecutor, who was implicated in sending Kindred inappropriate photos and was present throughout the trial, influencing the case's outcome.The request highlights a significant conflict of interest, noting that the U.S. attorney's office was aware of the misconduct but failed to disclose it. Howell contends that a new trial would be insufficient to address the due process violations, calling for more severe sanctions. This filing marks the first legal challenge since Kindred's resignation, and further reviews of Kindred's past cases are underway. The federal defender in Alaska, Jamie McGrady, indicated that more challenges are expected, emphasizing the widespread impact of Kindred's misconduct on the integrity of the judicial process.Alaska Judge Scandal Prompts First Conviction ChallengeLawyers and analysts anticipate extensive legal battles over the Endangered Species Act (ESA) following the Supreme Court's June 28 ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which eliminated the Chevron doctrine. This decision is expected to lead to challenges against federal agency interpretations of ambiguous ESA terms. Environmental attorneys believe that efforts to weaken the ESA, especially under a possible second Trump administration, will face significant court challenges, making these regulations more vulnerable than before.The Biden administration recently celebrated the ESA's 50th anniversary and implemented new rules to strengthen it, targeting critical habitat designation and consultation processes with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. These regulations, however, are now subject to potential legal challenges post-Loper Bright.Experts are divided on the impact of the Loper Bright ruling. Some, like Brooke Marcus from Nossaman LLP, foresee increased litigation over ESA definitions, while others, such as J.B. Ruhl from Vanderbilt University, believe the legal landscape might not change drastically since litigation over ESA interpretations was already common.Despite the uncertainties, the ESA's fundamental protections, such as species listing and delisting, remain strong due to explicit delegations in the law. However, new regulations not directly covered by the ESA could face more challenges.Environmental advocates argue that the Supreme Court's ruling could protect endangered species from efforts to weaken the ESA by making it easier to challenge unfavorable regulations. They predict a period of legal uncertainty, especially if a second Trump administration attempts to roll back protections. This scenario underscores the significant and ongoing legal debates surrounding the ESA in a post-Chevron world.Endangered Species Protections Draw New Legal Focus Post-ChevronLegal experts believe that any court challenge to the Democrats' decision to nominate a new presidential candidate following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 race is unlikely to succeed. Donald Trump's allies have discussed the possibility of removing Biden from the ballot, but it is uncertain if such a challenge will materialize. Election law scholars argue that courts typically defer to a party's choice for its nominee, making legal challenges to the new Democratic candidate improbable.The Democratic Party currently has no official nominee until delegates vote, which complicates any immediate legal challenges. Prominent Republicans have raised the threat of lawsuits, but experts dismiss these efforts as legally unfounded. The Biden-Harris campaign has rebranded to "Harris for President," with Vice President Kamala Harris endorsed by Biden, though it is not yet clear if she has the support of the majority of delegates.The Democratic convention's rules allow delegates to choose the nominee, providing time for other candidates to campaign. Legal actions might wait until after the official nomination, but experts suggest these attempts will face significant legal hurdles. The Heritage Foundation and other conservative groups are preparing for potential legal battles, focusing on state-specific rules for candidate substitution and withdrawal. However, most states' rules favor the major party's nominee, reducing the likelihood of successful challenges.Legal experts are dubious of any court challenge to Democrats' move to put forward new nominee This is a public episode.

This week, we're revisiting a conversation we had with James Salzman and J.B. Ruhl, environmental law professors at UCLA and Vanderbilt, respectively. They are the authors of The Greens' Dilemma, a framework for understanding how our regulatory regime is inhibiting our capacity to confront climate change, what the stakes are, and what to do about it. The Biden administration has made both infrastructure investment and climate change mitigation top priorities, and this issue sits at the intersection of both of those. Understanding it is key to understanding our path to decarbonization and ensuring this transition is successful. Read The Greens' Dilemma: Building Tomorrow's Climate Infrastructure TodaySubscribe on your favorite podcast platform to never miss an episode!

"We really, really want to make sure that nuclear war never breaks out. But we also know — from all of the examples of the Cold War, all these close calls — that it very well could, as long as there are nuclear weapons in the world. So if it does, we want to have some ways of preventing that from turning into a civilisation-threatening, cataclysmic kind of war. And those kinds of interventions — war limitation, intrawar escalation management, civil defence — those are kind of the seatbelts and airbags of the nuclear world. So to borrow a phrase from one of my colleagues, right-of-boom is a class of interventions for when “shit hits the fan.” —Christian RuhlIn this episode of 80k After Hours, Luisa Rodriguez and Christian Ruhl discuss underrated best bets to avert civilisational collapse from global catastrophic risks — things like great power war, frontier military technologies, and nuclear winter.Links to learn more, summary, and full transcript.They cover:How the geopolitical situation has changed in recent years into a “three-body problem” between the US, Russia, and China.How adding AI-enabled technologies into the mix makes things even more unstable and unpredictable.Why Christian recommends many philanthropists focus on “right-of-boom” interventions — those that mitigate the damage after a catastrophe — over traditional preventative measures.Concrete things policymakers should be considering to reduce the devastating effects of unthinkable tragedies.And on a more personal note, Christian's experience of having a stutter.Who this episode is for:People interested in the most cost-effective ways to prevent nuclear war, such as:Deescalating after accidental nuclear use.Civil defence and war termination.Mitigating nuclear winter.Who this episode isn't for:People interested in the least cost-effective ways to prevent nuclear war, such as:Coating every nuclear weapon on Earth in solid gold so they're no longer functional.Creating a TV show called The Real Housewives of Nuclear Winter about the personal and professional lives of women in Beverly Hills after a nuclear holocaust.A multibillion dollar programme to invent a laser beam that could write permanent messages on the Moon, and using it just once to spell out #nonukesnovember.Chapters:The three-body problem (00:04:11)Effect of AI (00:07:58)What we have going for us, and not (00:13:32)Right-of-boom interventions (00:17:50)Deescalating after accidental nuclear use (00:24:23)Civil defence and war termination (00:30:40)Mitigating nuclear winter (00:37:07)Planning for a postwar political environment (00:40:19)Experience of having a stutter (00:53:52)Christian's archaeological excavation in Guatemala (01:09:51)Producer: Keiran HarrisAudio Engineering Lead: Ben CordellTechnical editing: Ben Cordell and Milo McGuireContent editing: Katy Moore, Luisa Rodriguez, and Keiran HarrisTranscriptions: Katy Moore“Gershwin – Rhapsody in Blue, original 1924 version” by Jason Weinberger is licensed under creative commons

Join me for a delightful conversation with Steve Kanji Ruhl about his book, Appalachian Zen: Journeys in Search of True Home, from the American Heartland to the Buddha Dharma, the 2023 Gold Prize winner for Memoir in the Nautilus Book Awards. Steve Kanji is a Zen Buddhist minister ordained in the Zen Peacemaker Order, now teaching independently and instructing Zen students through his Touch the Earth cyber-sangha. Reverend Kanji received his Master of Divinity degree from Harvard University and is a Buddhist chaplain at Deerfield Academy, a Buddhist Adviser at Yale University, and faculty member of the Shogaku Zen Institute. Kanji has been a guest speaker or workshop facilitator at Harvard's Center for World Religions, Yale Divinity School, the International Conference on Socially Engaged Buddhism, the Omega Institute, and elsewhere. In addition to Appalachian Zen, he is the author of Enlightened Contemporaries: Francis, Dogen & Rumi—Three Great Mystics of the Thirteenth Century and Why They Matter Today and has recently finished writing a new book about his personal experience of spirituality and wellness called The Whole Earth is Medicine: Science, Zen, and Healing Body and Mind in a Journey through Cancer. He has also published two volumes of poems, The Constant Yes of Things and Paintings of Rice Cakes Satisfy Hunger. In his book, Appalachian Zen, Kanji takes us on a 30-year journey through his search to find his "true home" in lilting and lyrical prose and poems that move the story from Appalachia through academia—constantly asking: What is home? What is this? What is life? Death? What is real? … The questions Buddhism never answer but continue to ask. In our conversation we talked about, among other things: -Childhood memories -The search for self and the search for losing the self -Being a foolish being and Shin Buddhism -The contrast between Western and Eastern philosophical and spiritual worldviews -Mystical Christianity and the similarity to the direct experience of the sacred in Buddhism -Buddhist lay ministers as compared to Buddhist monastics, priest, and the "guru model" -Kanji's teaching of "Be Clear, Be Kind, Be Present"   Buy the book (Amazon affiliate link): Appalachian Zen   Buy the book from the publisher: Appalachian Zen   Learn more about Steve Kanji Ruhl, his teaching, spiritual guidance, and special events: http://www.stevekanjiruhl.com       *Special Everyday Buddhism Substack / Words From My Teachers podcast subscription promo code: Redeem by 3/31/2024 for 20% subscription for 1 year!   Become a patron to support this podcast and get special member benefits, including a membership community and virtual sangha:https://www.patreon.com/EverydayBuddhism   Join the Everyday Sangha: Join the Everyday Sangha   Join the Membership Community: https://donorbox.org/membershipcommunity   If this podcast has helped you understand Buddhism or help in your everyday life, consider making a one-time donation here: https://donorbox.org/podcast-donations   Support the podcast through the affiliate link to buy the book, Everyday Buddhism: Real-Life Buddhist Teachings & Practices for Real Change: Buy the book, Everyday Buddhism

As we've explored on this show before, the past few years have seen an unprecedented level of public and private investment in green energy, green infrastructure, and electrification. Between the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, over $1 Trillion has flowed into the green economy. This reflects the urgency of the climate crisis and the need to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to attempt to avoid worst-case global warming scenarios. Unfortunately, when it comes to physically building all these projects - from wind turbines, to lithium mines, to transmission lines - we are seeing massive, decades-long delays in the permitting and planning process, often as a result of environmental law meant to, ironically, protect us from pollution and ecological harm. In the fight against climate change, every second counts, and we cannot afford these delays. Our guests this week are James Salzman and J.B. Ruhl, environmental law professors at UCLA and Vanderbilt, respectively. They are the authors of The Greens' Dilemma, a framework for understanding how our regulatory regime is inhibiting our capacity to confront climate change, what the stakes are, and what to do about it.

FEB. 9 - MAR. 3, 2024 Directed by Austin Edgington The Pear Theatre www.thepear.org For Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday by Sarah Ruhl When Ann thinks of her father, she immediately remembers playing Peter Pan in her hometown theater in Iowa, and the flowers he delivered after her performance. Her memory is jogged by the fact that she and her four siblings are in their father's hospital room during his final moments. His death sparks a conversational wake that includes everything from arguments over politics to when each sibling realized that they grew up. A loving look at a family's view of death, life and the allure of never growing up. “A work that is equal parts dark and light, recalling the ebullient excitement of youth, but also confronting the hard fact of mortality… Ruhl's imagination is among the most adventurous at play today in the theater.” – The New York Times

After a long summer vacation, we're thrilled to be back for season seven of Digging a Hole! Just a couple of weeks ago we were baking; now we're surviving storm after storm, quivering and quaking. Climate change, huh? Here on the pod to discuss their forthcoming paper on how environmental law can help get us out of our existential crisis, “The Greens' Dilemma: Building Tomorrow's Climate Infrastructure Today” are J.B. Ruhl, the David Daniels Allen Distinguished Chair in Law at Vanderbilt Law School, and Jim Salzman, the Donald Bren Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law at the UCLA School of Law. What is the Greens' Dilemma – and is it even a dilemma exactly? Sam and David have their doubts, but Professors Ruhl and Salzman lay out what they think the dilemma that environmentalists face is, why it's a dilemma, and their proposed solution to it. Professors Ruhl and Salzman discuss coalition building for green infrastructure and why they might be able to get both progressives and conservatives on board. Is a rapid transition to clean energy and negative emissions compatible with environmental justice (EJ)? Our guests answer with an emphatic yes but ask you, our argumentative listeners, to engage and disagree. This podcast is generously supported by Themis Bar Review.

As I head into a three-month book leave, I wanted to take some time to address a wide array of listeners' questions. My column editor, Aaron Retica, joins me for a conversation that ranges from the content of my forthcoming book and President Biden's climate record to the simulation hypothesis and legalized psychedelic therapy.We also discuss what the I-95 collapse — and remarkably quick repairs — tell us about government's ability to build quickly, the problems with everything-bagel liberalism, what it would mean to treat climate change like the emergency that it is, why I dislike analogies between Biden and Franklin Roosevelt, why health care reform has receded from the center of American political debate, whether liberals are being too soft on Hunter Biden, why I am staunchly against term limits for Congress, what kinds of work are most undervalued in American society, why I've become less pessimistic about artificial intelligence disinformation, why I left Twitter but have been enjoying Threads, the challenges of keeping a Sabbath practice and more.This episode contains strong language.Note: Starting next week, “The Ezra Klein Show” will be releasing episodes only once per week, every Tuesday, until Ezra returns from his book leave in early November.

The Inflation Reduction Act was the largest piece of climate legislation ever passed in the United States, setting aside hundreds of billions of dollars for decarbonizing the economy. But the money was always just a first step. The fate of the act's goals hinges on whether those investments can build the energy system of the future — everything from transmission lines and wind farms to electric vehicle factories and green hydrogen hubs.It's now been almost a year since the I.R.A.'s passage. So, how's it going? Are we on track for a decarbonized economy?Robinson Meyer is a contributing writer to Times Opinion and the founding executive editor of Heatmap, a new publication covering the ins-and-outs of decarbonization in America. We discuss why estimates of the I.R.A.'s investments vary so drastically, whether the Biden administration is being too timid in how it gives out the money, the collision between the investments we need to decarbonize and the laws intended to protect the environment, why permitting has proved to be such a debilitating obstacle, why red states are projected to attract almost double the I.R.A. investments compared to blue states (and how that could pose a thorny political problem for the Biden administration), whether the country can decarbonize while competing with China and much more.Mentioned:“Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Clean Hydrogen” by U.S. Department of Energy“The Greens' Dilemma: Building Tomorrow's Climate Infrastructure Today” by J.
