The UK housing affordability crisis continues to reshape the path to homeownership, with more young adults relying on family support than ever before. Host Phil Spencer is joined by Hannah Aldridge, Senior Research and Policy Analyst at the Resolution Foundation, and James Tatch, Principal and Head of Analytics at UK Finance. Together, they explore the growing role of the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’ and the rise of the ‘Hotel of Mum and Dad’ as strategies to overcome one of the biggest barriers in the market, which is deposit. With saving timelines now stretching beyond a decade for many, and nearly 2 in 5 young adults living with their parents, their conversation reflects the reality facing first-time buyers across the UK today. Drawing on insights from across the market, the discussion also looks at how lenders are responding through mortgage product innovation, from guarantor mortgages to higher loan-to-value options. The episode also addresses the broader challenges shaping the market, including intergenerational wealth inequality, interest rate uncertainty, and the long-term implications for those unable to get onto the property ladder. For brokers supporting first-time buyers, navigating affordability challenges, or simply interested in how the market is evolving, this episode offers valuable perspectives you won’t want to miss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Sinica, I chat with Ali Wyne, Senior Research and Advocacy Adviser for U.S.-China at the International Crisis Group, just hours after President Trump's plane left Chinese airspace at the end of a three-day state visit to Beijing. We dig into the new framework Xi Jinping put on the table — what Beijing is calling 中美建设性战略稳定关系, a "constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability" — and ask whether it's a genuine doctrine of mutual restraint or a rhetorical tripwire that future American moves can be characterized as having violated. Ali and I work through Foreign Minister Wang Yi's morning-after media briefing, including his striking claim that the U.S. side now "does not accept" Taiwan independence — a notable shift from the standard American formulation. We talk about what Trump actually said on Taiwan in his Air Force One press gaggle, the gap between Trump's account of Xi's private remarks on Iran and what Beijing is willing to say publicly, and whether AI can serve as a durable basis for cooperation coming out of the summit. We also turn to the American domestic side: the bind Democrats find themselves in trying to critique Trump's China engagement without out-hawking him, the generational data showing a striking gap in American attitudes toward China that transcends partisan division, and the question of when that shift in mass opinion actually starts to bite on policy.Full podcast page with timestamps and links forthcoming!

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard is joined by Ali Wyne, Crisis Group's Senior Research and Advocacy Adviser for U.S.-China and Senior Northeast Asia Analyst William Yang, to discuss U.S. President Donald Trump's summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. They assess the summit's broader significance, including what it reveals about Trump's second-term China policy and the shifting balance of power between Washington and Beijing. They unpack the main points of discussion, from trade and technology to the geopolitical flashpoints in the Gulf and Taiwan. They also examine how Taiwan and other regional capitals are viewing the summit, what China and Taiwan may be learning from recent wars, and where U.S.-China relations could be headed.Listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.For more, check out our U.S. and China pages.

Francisco Rodríguez on the ouster of Nicolás Maduro.On January 3 of this year, American special forces captured Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and extricated him to the United States. But the operation did not oust the Venezuelan regime. Instead, in the subsequent days, the Trump administration announced its intention to work with Maduro's deputy, Delcy Rodriguez. President Trump took effective control of Venezuela's oil industry and Rodriguez obliged, securing some relief from the crushing sanctions that President Trump had imposed during his first term. In this episode we discuss the peculiar arrangement taking shape in Venezuela and examine whether sanctions did help bring about regime change in the country. Francisco Rodríguez is a Venezuelan economist, who is a Senior Research fellow at the Center for Economic and Policy Research and a Faculty Affiliate at the Josef Korbel School at the University of Denver. He is also a member of the Bologna Initiative for Sanctions Relief. Francisco was on the podcast last year to speak about his research on the humanitarian harms of sanctions. The Sanctions Age is hosted by Esfandyar Batmanghelidj and Josefine Petrick.To receive an email when new episodes are released, access episode transcripts, and read the hosts reflections on each episode, sign-up for the The Sanctions Age newsletter on Substack: https://www.thesanctionsage.com/

Eighty percent of Americans live in urban areas, and for them, 2026 is likely to be a year of immense change as the federal government quickens the pace of trillions of dollars in funding cuts to cities, counties, and states expected over the next decade. Moderated by William Glasgall, Volcker Alliance Public Finance Adviser and Penn IUR Fellow, and Susan Wachter, Co-Director of the Penn Institute for Urban Research and Wharton Professor of Real Estate and Professor of Finance, our expert panel from government and Wall Street will dissect how urban America and its leaders will cope with this new brand of fiscal federalism. Speakers include: • Janet Cowell, Mayor of Raleigh, North Carolina • Fitzroy Lee, Deputy Chief Financial Officer and Chief Economist, Office of the Chief Financial Officer, District of Columbia • Sarah Parker, Senior Research and Strategy Officer for Infrastructure, Environmental and Economic Analysis, New York City's Independent Budget Office (IBO) • Nicholas Samuels, Senior Vice President, US Public Finance at Moody's Ratings and • Matthew Stitt, Managing Director, PFM Group Consulting LLC. NOTABLE QUOTES Cowell: “We feel optimistic that we're a growing community with a number of levers and ways we can accommodate that growth, good finances, but the risk does become that federal relationship and how they look at cities and fund cities. Parker: “The relationship of a city and a state is becoming even more crucial, and even that dynamic has shifted as the relationship between the federal government and states and cities has really become much more tenuous. […] Our partnerships with Albany, both Governor Hochul and the state legislature, are more important than ever.” Lee: “As the nation's capital, of course, we host a disproportionate amount of federal jobs. And so the federal workforce downsizing presents the biggest challenge to the district's economy for the year ahead.” Lee: “[The city] budget anticipated the fiscal impact of the federal workforce reduction and incorporated a revenue reduction of about $300 million per year. That's about 3% of the district's $11 billion local source revenue.” Stitt: “In regard to the funding challenges, many cities and/or counties are preparing for how to maintain service delivery despite federal cuts. This is partially being reflected in budgeting five-year plans/forecast by some cities placing more money into their reserves.” Samuels: In 3 of the 10 largest U.S. Cities, the combination of rent and childcare, transportation, and taxes consume more than 60% of household income. So, those kinds of rising living costs […] dampen consumer spending, they reduce tax revenues, they can influence migration patterns and workforce availability.” Parker: “The longer term [issue] is how a government itself addresses its own adaptation needs relative to its physical climate risk.” Cowell: “In North Carolina and in many states in the South, the State General Assembly has a lot of authority and power, and they have taken away a number of revenue sources for local government […] They are setting the rules, and it definitely impacts how we do our job as mayors.”

Sugar is ubiquitous. Our grocery stores are brimming with sugar-added products, both from the usual suspects like cereal, soda, and other sweet treats and from products marketed as “healthy” that can contain a whopping dose of the sweet stuff. Likely though, if you've been following my work for awhile, you already know this. But how did we get here?  The new book, The World of Sugar: How the Sweet Stuff Transformed Our Politics, Health, and Environment over 2000 Years, seeks the answer. On this episode, my co-host, James Connolly is interviewing the author, Ulba Bosma. Ulbe is a Senior Research for the International Institute of Social History. His research centers on labor and labor relations viewed from a social, historical, and geographical lens. Ulbe's unique perspective brings to light how sugar production affected cultures worldwide through industrialization, labor migration, and human health.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...… you'll learn how whole body vibration works and the many ways it benefits your physiology. It's the nexus between energy and life, says Tony Molina, a performance optimization expert.“This biohack helps you burn more calories,” he says. “It helps you increase strength and reaction time. You can improve skin and circulation, bone density, pain relief, hormonal changes, posture and balance. It's also a lifelong health and longevity partner.” He's talking about the Power Plate. He's a high-altitude and longevity researcher and Senior Research and Development Specialist at the company.“Whole body vibration runs off Isaac Newton's second law, so force equals mass times acceleration,” he explains. “Where acceleration is what's being increased versus mass. And generally, we focus on the mass, whether we do any kind of strength training, we focus on holding mass or dealing with the mass or changing the mass. With whole body vibration and Power Plate, you're focusing on the acceleration or the speed change.”Other cool things about whole body vibration:You're changing the formula from conscious effort (like conventional exercise) to subconscious (harmonic vibration).You're experiencing multiplanar movement that creates an unstable environment that's proprioceptively challenging. (The nervous system doesn't know what to do, which is a good thing.)Your neuromuscular spindle gets stimulated without the need for the brain even to get involved. (Cognitive confidence!) Your nervous system itself is ramping up safety signals so the brain understands what it needs to do without you consciously having to do anything.Your reflexes improve; your reaction time gets better; your ability to propriocept allows your posture to improve; and you breathe better.Listen on to find out more about whole-body vibration training, therapy, and how it can make you live longer, whatever your fitness level or ability.SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: https://powerplate.com/dave to get 20% off a Power Plate® MOVE (save $659) AND a FREE Power Plate Pulse Massage Gun (valued at $249.99) WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.
