From the earliest days of my interest in urban planning, I became very interested in the overlap between design and culture. By that I mean, how cities shape human interaction, and how human interaction shapes cities. Why are some places successful when others aren't, even when they have similar design and planning features? Why do some communities seem so tight and together, when others do not? Is it all just a design problem, as I've been taught?In fact, the obvious answer it's not just a design problem. It's also about how we relate to each other as humans, and the networks we form. Dr. Seth Kaplan is a true expert in this area, having studied and worked with fragile states all over the world. In 2023, he turned his attention to American cities and wrote the book, “Fragile Neighborhoods: Repairing American Society, One Zip Code at a Time.” Seth and I talk in this episode about the overlap between design and a true sense of community. That is, we explore what it takes to create the kind of place that kids have broad independence, where people truly look out for each other, and where people feel deeply invested in its long-term success. I'll tease out one piece, where he talks about the difference between people he is friends with in his neighborhood, versus people he has a relationship with. And, how important that is for a successful place, and for more fulfilled people.Seth can be found here on his LinkedIn page, and you can see some of his writings here.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

Kaplan is the author of Fragile Neighborhoods: Repairing American Society, One Zip Code at a Time. His work focuses on an issue that's been at the forefront of my mind for quite some time—the fragility of American society, not in terms of political collapse, but in terms of the erosion of social cohesion and interpersonal connections. Seth is a Professorial Lecturer at Johns Hopkins University's prestigious SAIS program, a Senior Adviser at the Institute for Integrated Transitions, and a visiting fellow at the Mercatus Center's Program on Pluralism and Civil Exchange. Beyond academia, he's consulted for organizations like the World Bank and the U.S. State Department, tackling challenges in fragile communities worldwide.In our conversation today, we'll explore what makes communities thrive—or falter—and why local action and community engagement are vital to restoring our social fabric. We'll also delve into how technology and cultural narratives play a role in shaping, or fracturing, those connections. If you've ever felt that society is growing more polarized, more disconnected, and less respectful, you'll find this conversation enlightening—and maybe even empowering.TakeawaysFragile states are politically or socially unstable with low social cohesion.American society is fragile due to declining interpersonal relationships.Technology has contributed to the isolation and atomization of society.Local engagement is crucial for rebuilding community connections.Individuals can make a difference by participating in local organizations.Cultural change is necessary to address societal issues.Constructive narratives should be amplified over polarizing ones.People often feel marginalized and disrespected in society.Restoring social fabric requires active participation in communities.Learn more about and connect with SetWhat have you done today to make your life a better life?

Too many of us live in neighborhoods plagued by rising crime, school violence, family disintegration, addiction, alienation, and despair. Even the wealthiest neighborhoods are not immune; while poverty exacerbates these challenges, they exist in zip codes rich and poor, rural and urban, and everything in between.

Neighborhoods have always played a distinctly important role in American public life. The neighborhood is the most intimate public setting outside of the home, the place where mediating institutions of common life—schools, stores, gyms, houses of worship—connect citizens to each other. American neighborhoods, however, have lately grown fragile and unhealthy, reflecting the nation's loneliness epidemic, its underwhelming public education system, its demoralized society. Seth Kaplan is the author of Fragile Neighborhoods, a new book that diagnoses these dilemmas and that offers practical steps to nurse neighborhoods back to health. He joins Mosaic editor Jonathan Silver to discuss how Jewish neighborhoods might serve as models that could inspire other communities in the United States. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble.

As Seth Kaplan has worked in 35 countries around the world, one thing has made itself clear: healthy relationships are the key to community stability. “When I go to any place, whether it's a neighborhood or country,” says Kaplan on this episode of The Russell Moore Show, “the thing I'm most interested in finding out is how well people are treating each other on so many levels.” In conversation with Moore, Kaplan—author of Fragile Neighborhoods, lecturer, and consultant—explains the reasons why Americans feel vulnerable, alienated, and angry. He describes the opportunities people have to do something about those negative feelings and experiences by engaging in local activities that bond them to their neighbors. Moore and Kaplan discuss the necessity of institutions, identify organizations that are strengthening relationships, and consider the importance of marriage, Their conversation covers how children are being socialized, the effects of social media and digital play, and how to build a local ecosystem. Kaplan also describes his family's practice of Shabbat and encourages his Christian friends to prioritize Sabbath rest.

Part 2 Segment 1 What's up, y'all? You're about to hear Part 2 with Seth Kaplan, who wrote the book Fragile Neighborhoods. And my brother Seth knocks it out of the park. In our last episode, Dr. Kaplan introduced us to the idea of why our places, work, home, schools and other institutions, matter so much to the quality of our lives. Over the last generation in America, we've experienced social decay. This is the thinning of relationships and a growing sense of isolation and loneliness. This isn't an opinion, either. Every survey and study confirms this reality. You probably feel it too. Like we don't have as many dependable, anxiety-absorbing institutions as we used to. Like it's getting harder and harder to connect with people, even people we already know. We're in a prosperous and generally stable country, but we're decaying from the inside out from lack of healthy relationships and communities. In Part 1, Seth left some insight as to how we can make that better in our own neighborhoods. In Part 2, we talk about the role the church can play in restoring and healing our communities. Part of what I really love about this is that Seth is Jewish. He's not a church insider, but rather a sociologist who has recommendations based on his research. He doesn't really have a dog in the fight, nor does he have an ax to grind. Dr. Kaplan is as unbiased as you are liable to get to talk about the future of the church. Listen to what he has to say. Segment 2 I think Dr. Kaplan shares a worthwhile challenge for the church. There was a question I heard at a conference awhile ago that I think applies: “If your church left your community, would anyone besides your congregation notice?” That boils down to impact. If your church is having a positive impact on your community, people would miss it. And I think Seth is encouraging us to be deeply embedded in the local fabric of our neighborhoods. If you want to make a difference in your community, thickening relationships will be massive. He believes it so strongly, when I asked him if he wanted to share anything else, he wanted to address church leaders. Segment 3 Can you feel that fire? Dr. Kaplan was preaching. Don't just hear his words, I challenge you to put them into action. How can you make your “place”, neighborhood, school, college, workplace, church, or other organization, stronger. How can you forge thick relationships that enrich the fabric of people's lives? At last we've come to the Non-Judgment Zone of Joy. This one is different… Segment 4 Y'all…I think we have a lot to work on. What Seth and I talked about is a curious kind of solution to social decay. In one sense, we can make it better right away. And the ownership is in our hands. We're not waiting for the powers that be to change something. In another sense, it feels a little daunting because we're fighting against the design of modern America. Because the systems and processes and architecture that disconnect us from one another is the result of choices people have made. That can be kind of overwhelming. But anything done, can be undone. We have a chance to reinvigorate our communities with thick relationships to one another. And progress may be slow… but it's worth it. Buy Seth's book: Fragile Neighborhoods. It's a great read. And I'll see y'all next time. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/betterontheinside/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/betterontheinside/support
Mikayla Novak interviews author Seth Kaplan on his latest book, Fragile Neighborhoods: Repairing American Society, One Zip Code at a Time. In this book, he addresses the decline in American neighborhoods characterized by rising crime, school violence, family disintegration, addiction, alienation, and despair. Kaplan applies his insights to the American context, emphasizing the importance of relationships and social dynamics in building healthy societies. He advocates for neighborhood-based solutions, highlighting the role of 'community quarterbacks' or social entrepreneurs in organizing local improvements. In this conversation, Kaplan also touches on the impacts of migration, the importance of practical approaches, the characteristics of robust neighborhoods, and emphasizes the need for more intentional community-building efforts to improve societal health and individual well-being.Seth D.

In this episode of the Moral Imagination Podcast I speak with Seth Kaplan about his book Fragile Neighborhoods: Repairing American Society One Zip Code at a Time. Seth has spent his career working in fragile states around the world — countries that are unstable and prone to violence, war, and political problems. About 10 years ago Seth was increasingly asked if the US was becoming fragile. As he turned his attention to studying the United States, he concluded was that while the US is not fragile as a country, there are many areas and neighborhoods throughout the country that are very fragile — where poverty rates are high, there is crime, and instability, and social capital, family stability, and economic and educational opportunities are low. Seth explains that depending on the neighborhood where you live in the United States it can mean a shorter lifespan of over 20 years. Kaplan speaks about two faces of poverty, material and social, and how they are both a problem of broken relationships. He argues: “I think the real question you have to ask about the United States we have many things going very well in our country but something has gotten worse in the last couple of generations: the politics, the trust, the social breakdown, the deaths of despair, the health crisis the depression, and the rise of suicides. The big question that we have to ask ourselves is what has changed in our relationships that lead us to have so many social and political problems?” Themes and Topics we discuss include: Family Stability Social Capital Bonding vs. Bridging Social Capital Relationships and Community The role of religion and religious practice in communities Associationalism vs. Individualism vs. Collectivism Biography Seth D. Kaplan is a leading expert on fragile states. He is a Professorial Lecturer in the Paul H.

Seth Kaplan Part 1 Segment 1 What's up, y'all? I'm so pumped to be back. This week we have a real humdinger of an episode, talking about something that you might not think about, but affects you every single day: place. Our guest today is Seth Kaplan, who wrote the book Fragile Neighborhoods. He's an expert on fragile states but took his knowledge and expertise that is usually applied to volatile nations and examined the social decay in modern America. Place is a concept we think about a lot on some level and NEVER on another. Like, we consider where we are and where we want to go pretty often. Probably on a daily basis. But we rarely consider how our environments: homes, workplaces, schools, parks, common spaces and churches, shape our relationships. Whether we know it or not, we are profoundly impacted by the design of where we live, work, eat, shop, and worship. And that design has changed dramatically over the last few decades… whether it's good for us or not. Listen to Seth talk about this. Segment 2 I really enjoyed talking to my dude, Seth. We joked around that we practically recorded an entire podcast before I hit record. I definitely want to talk to him again. In his book, Seth spends a lot of time talking about the difference between place-based community and network-based community. He'll define it well in this segment, but it's important to note that network-based community is VERY new and has been enabled by technology. Up until very recently, all humans have been dramatically limited by our place. Our ancestors lived almost their entire lives in a bubble of a few miles. Think about that! Even our grandparents were constrained by where they happened to be born. But, that's not the world our kids live in now. And that matters. How? Listen to Seth. Segment 3 I love the concept of THICK and THIN relationships. That's really good terminology for us to adopt that I think could bring more clarity to how we define community. I know that it's MUCH easier to have a lot of THIN relationships than even just a few THICK ones. That's something to think about this week. Part 2 drops next week, where Seth and I dive deeper into the role churches and places of worship can play in healthy community. In the meantime, pick up his book Fragile Neighborhoods by Seth Kaplan wherever books are sold.

Humorist and CBS correspondent Mo Rocca, worked with Osgood and joins us.
Seth Kaplan has worked in developing nations throughout the world, studying how corrupt governments, crumbling infrastructure, and a lack of public trust can add up to what's known as a “fragile state.” In his new book "Fragile Neighborhoods," he explores how these same dynamics can play out on a regional level in the United States. Reporting from struggling rural areas as well as poor urban neighborhoods across America, Seth discovered that people separated by even just a few miles can have not only dramatically different life experiences but vastly different life expectancies. The culmination of these factors is captured by the concept of "social fabric." In this conversation, Seth explains how he defines social fabric and describes what kinds of initiatives have the most success at bringing communities together and lifting people out of poverty and why gentrification, when done thoughtfully, can be integral to positive change. He also addresses the question of why cities on the West Coast seem far more prone to unrest, concentrated homelessness, and distrust of institutions than their East Coast counterparts. Finally, Seth shares his personal talks about what he looked for in a neighborhood when he moved his own family from New York City to another state. GUEST BIO Seth D.

He is also a Professorial Lecturer at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University, Senior Adviser for the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT), and consultant to the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), USAID, and the U.S. Department of State. Seth is the author of three books: “Fixing Fragile States: A New Paradigm for Development” (2008); “Betrayed: Promoting Inclusive Development in Fragile States (2013); and “Human Rights in Thick and Thin Societies: Universality Without Uniformity” (2018). His new book, “Fragile Neighborhoods: Repairing American Society, One Zip Code at a Time,” was published on October 17, 2023. This was an incredibly interesting conversation and full of insights about the fragility present right now in one of the most prosperous countries in the world! We start by talking about how Seth's experience with fragility around the world helped him spot the fragility present in America's own neighborhoods and what motivated him to write the book. We then discuss what fragile neighborhoods look like, what makes a neighborhood fragile, and the role of norms and close relationships in the fragility of our communities. Seth makes the point that fragility is about relationships, whether those are found at the local community level, between communities, or at level of national institutions – and the nature of those relationships or their absence is what makes fragility emerge. We also talk about why we have fragile neighborhoods and what policies and factors have contributed the most to this problem. Our conversation touches upon the role of public service and on the “poverty-industrial-complex” & institutional obstacles to addressing fragility in neighborhoods. Seth also makes the case for the value of prevention in terms of saving social, human, and economic capital and highlights marriage as one of the institutions that can help prevent social decay. We wrap up our conversation by discussing the need for reviving the American Dream and bringing back into our neighborhoods the robust institutions and instincts for civil society that Alexis de Tocqueville observed two centuries ago. Listen to the episode and read Seth's book for so many more ideas on how we can help neighborhoods exit fragility! ***** Dr. Seth D.

We join our next guest, Seth Kaplan in his beautiful home in Harrisburg on a Saturday morning and it's a beautiful fall day. We set up his kitchen table and got straight into the jar. Seth has a great energy, smile, and personality. It's clear that he's at a really great space in his life . He's married, has a home, a child and he's found himself back in the career that he loves and it shows. Seth is the oldest child and his family grew up in Florida. They lived there for quite a bit and got into TV news reporting, which is a passion for him and then over time drifted away for 20 years. Some point not too long ago his wife knew that this was a real passion for him and that this is kind of, as he says, an unresolved part of his life. It's a part of his career that he needed to come back too as it was something he missed and here he is today a political reporter for the state, working for CBS and seems to be in a great place. As we got started, he kind of chuckled that while he's comfortable with the microphone usually he's the one holding it and asking the questions and the jar. He's on the other side now and we jump right into the deep end with the question, do you have a hopeful heart? And did you have always someone to call when you need it? Join us to hear Seth's story and what a Florida kid living in Pennsylvania is all about.

Seth Kaplan is a Visiting Fellow with the Mercatus Center's Program on Pluralism and Civil Exchange. He is also a Professorial Lecturer at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at Johns Hopkins University, Senior Adviser for the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT), and consultant to the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), USAID, and the U.S. Department of State. Seth is the author of three books: “Fixing Fragile States: A New Paradigm for Development” (2008); “Betrayed: Promoting Inclusive Development in Fragile States (2013); and “Human Rights in Thick and Thin Societies: Universality Without Uniformity” (2018). His new book, “Fragile Neighborhoods: Repairing American Society, One Zip Code at a Time,” will be published in 2023. This episode is a grand tour of Seth's core ideas about fragile and conflict-affected countries. We start by talking about Seth's professional journey, which began out of his passion for travel and insatiable curiosity about why some societies work better than others. We then shift to the concept of fragility. Seth argues that social dynamics shape the institutions, understood both as “the rules of the game,” as well as the state apparatus. The pathways in and out of fragility or conflict depend on the interplay between formal institutions and informal social rules which govern collective action. Fragility and conflict can be prevented if social groups can come together and chart a unifying course of action that leads them towards prosperity – in other words, if they can manage political and social transitions. We then explore how these factors interact with politics, economics, and security. Seth provides a sweeping overview of situations where countries and communities made “good enough” progress to avoid collapse and even prosper, from Nigeria and Somaliland to Guatemala, India, and Indonesia. In most cases, leaders and elites were able to rally around a common storyline that enabled them achieve unity of purpose and navigate through tough transitions. We also talk about the hard cases, from Libya to Syria, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. The conversation delves into many fascinating tangents. We discuss the work of the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT), and how it deploys its framework in Libya and Colombia. Seth also argues that multilateral organizations like the World Bank must create the conditions for brave leaders who can move their societies forward rather than focus on purely technical policy advice or project financing. We conclude with the reasons for hope in fragile states, and with a reflection on the skills needed to be an effective operator in the most complex societies (hint – it's about the human soul). *****Dr. Seth D.

Researchers have found that pocket gophers glow under UV lights. As WABE's Molly Samuel reports, scientists have some theories but they don't really know why.

Many Americans with a few extra bucks to spare turned to grocery delivery apps during the pandemic to avoid going to the store. Demand for this service is continuing to grow. We discuss the trends with Natasha Mascarenhas, a senior reporter at TechCrunch. And, as airlines delay hundreds of flights and cancel thousands of others, travelers across the U.S. have been left stranded, often for days on end. Transportation analyst Seth Kaplan tells us more.
Today, we explore a subject that has been under-examined at Heterodox Academy: Religious viewpoint diversity. The piece, Religion: A Viewpoint Diversity Blind Spot?, was written by Dr. Seth Kaplan. He teaches at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies of Johns Hopkins University. Today's episode is part of a new effort this summer to explore the nuances of religious viewpoint diversity within higher education. On July 26th, we're going to be hosting a live event on the tensions between religious faith and truth-seeking in both secular and religious colleges and universities. Learn more.

Kaplan Coaching isn't usually the place you go for sharpening your curve ball, hitting opposite-field home runs or covering second on a double play. But when it comes to Head Baseball Coach at Lesley University Seth Kaplan , that's exactly what you get. An elementary school friend of Josh's, Coach Kaplan has been the consummate field general. Not only was he showing 5'3 Josh how to play defense in childhood pickup basketball games, he also played Varsity Short Stop and Catcher in High School. But despite doing the same at UMass he knew he wasn't going to ever play for the NY Yankees, but maybe he could coach them (still his dream). When a chance opportunity to steal a coaching job at the collegiate level opened up, he dug in - from the dug out - and has since moved all around the New England area coaching players of all skill levels, even some Major League hopefuls. Listen in to hear Coach Kaplan's philosophy on baseball and how it applies to life, career, and growing up with Josh's terrible jokes.
In this episode of Heterodox Out Loud, Sociologist Musa Al-Gharbi makes the case as to why ideological diversity in social research and pedagogy is an important cause to fight for - even for those who may be skeptical of its benefits. Musa's piece is titled, “Why We Should Care About Ideological Diversity in The Academy.” To engage deeper with Musa's ideas, check out our related posts “What Are The Limits of Viewpoint Diversity” by Nick Phillips, “Religion: A Viewpoint Diversity Blind Spot?” by Seth Kaplan, and “Viewpoint Diversity Does Not Extend to Extremist Hate” by Ilana Redstone.

When it comes to the production of knowledge the value of viewpoint diversity cannot be overstated. For simple problems, or well established technicalities, we may not need multiple viewpoints, but wicked problems can only be addressed by engaging with diverse points of view. Yet, not all points of view are equal, and certainly not all of them belong in the academy. In this episode of Heterodox Out Loud, lawyer and former HxA researcher, Nick Phillips, grapples with a central dilemma at the heart of Heterodox Academy: What are the limits of viewpoint diversity? The original blog, "What are the Limits of Viewpoint Diversity," was first published on March 5, 2018 and can be read here.

REFLECTION QUOTES “God had one Son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.” ~St. Augustine (354-430), bishop in North Africa “Jesus had the guilty in mind when He hung high and stretched out wide…. He, bare-bodied and face set on joy, became as a slaughtered lamb underneath the wrath of God… Didn't He know that wrath was mine? It even had my name on it. But He knew… Without asking my permission, a good God had come to my rescue.” ~Jackie Hill Perry, writer, poet and hip-hop artist “…a Christian is not so much a person who has solved the problem of pain, suffering and the coronavirus, but one who has come to love and trust a God who has himself suffered.” ~John Lennox, profess at the University of Oxford “Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.” ~John Calvin (1509-1564), leader of the Protestant Reformation in Geneva “Sacraments are holy signs and seals of the covenant of grace, immediately instituted by God, to represent Christ, and His benefits; and to confirm our interest in Him: as also, to put a visible difference between those that belong unto the Church, and the rest of the world; and solemnly to engage them to the service of God in Christ, according to His Word. The grace which is exhibited in or by the sacraments rightly used, is not conferred by any power in them; neither doth the efficacy of a sacrament depend upon the piety or intention of him that doth administer it: but upon the work of the Spirit, and the word of institution, which contains, together with a precept authorizing the use thereof, a promise of benefit to worthy receivers.” ~Westminster Confession of Faith (1646), Chapter 27 “[Community] requires commitment to a certain social order—and, crucially, a place—that by definition must constrain individual choice. In return for security, support, and belonging, members surrender some of their freedom.” ~Seth Kaplan, professor at John Hopkins University SERMON PASSAGE 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 (ESV) 17 But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18 For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, 19 for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized. 20 When you come together, it is not the Lord's supper that you eat. 21 For in eating, each one goes ahead with his own meal. One goes hungry, another gets drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I commend you in this? No, I will not. 23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. 27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. 31 But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world. 33 So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another— 34 if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come.

Life is good in Australasia—especially if you’re Qantas or Air New Zealand. Both carriers are enjoying a bit of a golden age that stems from good management and some macro tailwinds. Meanwhile, Virgin Australia, seemingly unable to catch those tailwinds, drifted toward a disheartening 2% operating profit margin in 2017. Scandinavia’s SAS, meanwhile, had a negative margin that really wasn’t disheartening, because it was a small loss (-3%) and came during the airline’s always-difficult fourth quarter. Avianca managed to profit despite a painful pilot strike. And finally, Seth Kaplan caught up with Qatar Airways Vice President of the Americas Günter Saurwein to chat about the new airline's business-class product and much more.

American Airlines doesn't hedge its jet fuel, and now it's enjoying the fruits of that somewhat contrarian strategy. Is AA onto something here? Is fuel hedging a smart play? Will other airlines mimic AA and reject hedging altogether? Those are some of the questions I ask Seth Kaplan in our second episode of The Airline Weekly Lounge. Also, while AA was on the right side of the fuel hedge bet, Air France/KLM was on the wrong side. The company was also on the wrong side of the euro-dollar bet and those two forces combined to further punish the already-limping airline pair. Back in America, Spirit Airlines had a great quarter by its own standards—but mediocre by its standards. Part of its difficulty was due to a softening revenue picture. Is such heated competition in the U.S. a surprise so soon after consolidation and with high oil prices such a recent memory? Lastly, we discuss WestJet, the subject of this week's Airline Weekly's cover story. The Canadian airline is clearly not afraid to changes its business model. We look at WestJet's endeavors and more in this week's episode.
Our inaugural episode of the Airline Weekly Lounge went live today. Within it, Seth Kaplan and I discuss this golden age for U.S. aviation. Can profits get any better? Along those lines, Delta reported earnings last week. They were exemplary, of course, even despite wrong-way fuel hedges. And Norwegian released its second quarter report as well. Norwegian is, of course, most interesting because of its experimentation with long-cost long-haul flying. It's always interesting to hear how that's going. And as we discussed in this week's cover story of Airline Weekly, Emirates is facing real headwinds. In the Lounge podcast, we discuss Emirates's situation a little more deeply. And, I asked Seth whether Turkish Airlines's break-neck growth rate is sustainable. Our first podcast—it's sure to be a collector's item. So, do check it out.
