SKY CIRCLE:I don't know about you, but I really miss working in groups rather than in isolation, and as such, I've recently ended the current format of my energy report subscriptions and am opening up SKY CIRCLE. The roots of my sharing astrology and healing come from the many moon circles I used to facilitate, beginning in 2013. These were held spaces where I discussed the astrology, but we also got a chance to share with each other and be together. I used to love seeing how everyone who was called to join in was interconnected. Sky Circle aims to recreate this intimate and life-affirming dynamic. All being well, meaning if there are enough people to participate, I will be starting Sky Circle in June. We will meet online via Zoom twice a month on Sunday. These 1.5-2 hour online sessions will include the following: Discussion of main astrology transits coming in, full/new moon themes & intentionsBi-weekly transit notes PDF (similar to my former Energy Report format)Personal sharing & community support, including personal astrology insightsGuided meditation & grounding for the energies Video replay access My intention is for this to be an interactive and facilitated space, not just a lecture. Members can submit any questions in advance regarding personal astrology (or anything healing related), which will be discussed in the group. Sky Circle will be facilitated in 3-month-at-a-time containers. The pricing is £180/$240 total for the 3 months. Timing would be Sunday's at 10am PST / 1pm EST / 6pm LONDONThe upcoming dates would be: June 14th & 28thJuly 12th & 26thAug 9th & 23rdPlease let me know if you would like to join by JUNE 5th by emailing me directly at Rebecca@RebeccaConran.comSign-ups registered by June 5th then will determine if I go ahead with Sky Circle this summer.

by Rebecca Conran CHHCJune 2026 has many astrological peak moments: Chiron entering Taurus, Jupiter entering Leo, Mercury Retrograde and much, much more. This month revolves around the tension between fear and possibility: where we close down versus where we remain open, where we spiral mentally versus where we consciously choose growth. With major healing transits activating throughout the month, many people may feel emotionally exposed, uncertain, or confronted with long-standing wounds around identity, safety, love, and purpose. Yet beneath the intensity is an opportunity to rebuild from a more conscious foundation.

In this episode, Rebecca sits down with clinical hypnotist, author, and educator Shauna Cummins to explore the power of the mind, the role of inner dialogue in shaping our reality, and how hypnosis can be used as a practical tool for transformation. Together, they unpack how subconscious patterns influence our lives, why manifestation requires deeper clarity than we often realize, and how we can begin consciously “rewiring” the narratives that guide us.In this episode: The role of inner dialogue in shaping our reality—and why it sits at the foundation of intention and manifestationDeveloping discernment: distinguishing between supportive thoughts and limiting or conditioned beliefsHow hypnosis works to “rewire” the mind: what's happening beneath the surface when beliefs and behaviors begin to changeShauna Cummins is a clinical hypnotist, author of Wishcraft: A Guide to Manifesting a Positive Future, and founder of The Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis.

This placement is fundamentally about disruption and innovation in the realm of the mind, communication, and perception. Gemini rules thinking patterns, language, and the constant “mental chatter.” Questions about discernment and awareness of inner dialogue sit right at the heart of Gemini themes. Uranus is associated with breakthroughs and sudden insight. When Uranus (planet of awakening and disruption) moves through Gemini, it tends to shake up habitual thought patterns and push people to question the narratives they've always believed.At its lowest, Gemini can be scattered or reactive; at its highest, it becomes consciously selective about which thoughts to engage with. Uranus entering Gemini amplifies the need to choose thoughts intentionally, because the volume and speed of ideas increase dramatically. Hypnosis fits well with Uranus in Gemini. Gemini governs the conscious and subconscious bridge through language. Uranus governs the nervous system and rapid re-patterning. So hypnosis helps by updating mental code, which is exactly what Uranus in Gemini is about on a collective level.The invitation of Uranus in Gemini: Question your thoughtsBecome discerning about inner dialogueConsciously rewrite mental patternsUse tools (like hypnosis) to harness the processIf you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and stay connected with New Story with Rebecca Conran on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you stream your podcasts.

In this episode, Tia Levings returns to talk about her new book I Belong to Me - a guide to healing and recovery after high-control religion and other controlling environments. Tia walks through what she calls the steps before the steps: the audacity, the centrality, the willingness to want something different before you're even ready to name what happened to you. We talk about why language can free you and trap you at the same time, how cult-hopping happens and why, what developmental stages get stolen in high-control systems, and how somatic and body-based modalities opened up healing that talk therapy alone couldn't reach. This is a grounded, honest conversation about what it looks like to start to become the protagonist of your own story.Tia Levings is the New York Times Bestselling author of A Well-Trained Wife, her memoir of escape from Christian Patriarchy and I Belong to Me: A Survivor's Guide to Recovery and Hope after Religious Trauma. She writes about the realities of religious trauma, evangelical patriarchy, and the Trad wife life, decoding the fundamentalist influences in our news and culture. Her work and quotes have appeared in Teen Vogue, Salon, Newsweek, and the HuffingtonPost. She is an experienced interviewee, speaker, and podcast guest, and has appeared in the hit Amazon docu-series, Shiny Happy People. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, she is mom to four incredible adults and likes to travel, hike, paint, and daydream.

On Thursday, April 30 BigTentUSA hosted Amb. Rahm Emanuel in a candid discussion moderated by Rachel Janfaza of "The Up and Up".In the discussion, Amb. Emanuel argued that corruption and dysfunction have become normalized in American politics, eroding trust at home and credibility abroad. His core message: the country doesn't need more partisan reruns—it needs results.He laid out his vision for middle-class economics, strong public education, public safety, and restoring faith in institutions. He connected big-picture concerns—like global competition and democratic stability—to urgent domestic failures, especially in education, where declining literacy rates threaten long-term opportunity and economic strength.Amb. Emanuel also previewed his “six for '26” agenda focused on raising wages, lowering health care costs, and enforcing real ethics reforms, while drawing a sharp contrast with both Trumpism and ideological extremes within his own party.The bottom line: Deliver results, rebuild trust, and prove government can work again.Check out our ACT NOW page for BigTentUSA guidance on how to fight back against ICE detention centers in your area and other calls to action:https://bigtentusa.org/act-now/ Sign up for Rachel's newsletter “The Up and Up”:https://www.theupandup.us/ ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:Amb.

They've got Hollywood ambitions, buzzy merch drops, and swarms of loyal fans (and drones). Why is Palantir, a shadowy data analytics company that many view as emblematic of America's slide into an unaccountable surveillance state, building a brand universe? This week, our guest is Daysia Tolentino. She's a freelance writer covering internet culture, with bylines in GQ, Teen Vogue, Vulture, and NBC News. She also writes the Yap Year newsletter on Beehiiv. We ask her about Palantir chore coats, her interview in GQ with Eliano Younes, the Head of Strategic Engagement at Palantir, and why tech's pursuit of “good taste” is in bad faith and won't work.

In this rigorously honest conversation, author, speaker, advocate, and young woman in recovery Emi Nietfeld joins Dr. Tiffany Wynn to challenge the cultural narratives that equate suffering with strength and healing with achievement. Together, they explore what it means to reject recovery as a redemption arc and to release the pressure to turn pain into proof of worth.Emi shares her journey through foster care, homelessness, and significant mental health struggles, alongside the complex reality of later achieving many of the success markers society celebrates. She reflects on the dissonance of being seen as a story of resilience while still living with the lasting impacts of trauma, and how ambition can become entangled with survival, shame, and the need to justify one's suffering.Together, Emi and Dr. Tiffany unpack the myths of toxic resilience culture, including the expectation that trauma survivors package their pain into inspirational narratives. They explore the importance of creating communities where young women can be honest about struggling without feeling broken or behind, and how healing is shaped not only by individual effort, but by systems, relationships, and spaces that offer truth, connection, and a sense of belonging.Woven throughout the conversation are reflections from Emi's memoir, Acceptance, and a reminder that recovery is not about becoming stronger, more successful, or more palatable in the aftermath of pain. It is about telling the truth, being witnessed in our humanity, and remembering that we are always worthy of love and belonging—even when we are still healing.About EmiEmi Nietfeld is the author of Acceptance (Penguin Press, 2022), a memoir chronicling her journey through foster care and homelessness while interrogating the true meanings of resilience, ambition, and success.After graduating from Harvard in 2015, she worked as a software engineer, an experience she wrote about in her viral New York Times essay, “After Working At Google, I'll Never Let Myself Love a Job Again.”Emi's passionate about mental health, helping young people navigate their careers, and the connection between engineering and creativity. A dynamic, sought-after speaker, she regularly appears on podcasts, delivers conference keynotes, and speaks at universities and companies.Her essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Teen Vogue, Fortune, The Information, and other publications, been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, noted in The Best American Essays, and taught in classrooms from high schools to MFA programs.Connect with Emi: https://www.eminietfeld.com/ About Dr. TiffanyDr. Tiffany Wynn is a behavioral health leader with a PhD in Counsellor Education who focuses on trauma and resiliency, behavioral management, leadership, and professional development.

The wellness industry has sold us a promise that we can find it if we just buy the right products, attend the right retreats, and follow the right celebrity gurus. But is this true? Or are we picking and choosing from a self-care salad bar in ways that satisfy our hunger but don't truly nourish us?When we approach practices like yoga and ayahuasca as fitness routines and life hacks, we miss out on the sacred wisdom they have to offer us. But by digging into the real and often ancient religious traditions behind these practices, from Buddhism to Christianity and beyond, we can make them more meaningful, ethical, and effective—without the often unpleasant baggage of joining an organized religion.In this engaging and deeply personal book, award-winning scholar and writer Liz Bucar embarks on a quest to get to the heart of “spiritual but not religious” activities from detox diets to sound baths. As she tries out each practice for herself, she asks how we can get more out of it by tuning out the hype and taking the religious meaning behind it seriously—with emotionally profound and often surprising results. Whether it's as simple as setting an intention for a yoga asana or as complex as reevaluating what a “higher power” is, it's time to understand, experience, and simply get more out of our spiritual practices. It's time to dig deeper with Beyond Wellness. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this thought-provoking episode, Tara chats with journalist and author Fortesa Latifi to unpack the complicated world of influencer culture through the lens of her new book, Like, Follow, Subscribe. Together, they explore the rise of family vlogging and the often-blurred lines between sharing and oversharing, especially when children are involved. Fortesa shares how a viral story she wrote for Teen Vogue sparked a deeper investigation into the financial incentives, ethical gray areas, and emotional realities behind influencer parenting. From staggering earnings to the quiet cost of constant visibility, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what it really means to build a life (and a livelihood) online. Tara and Fortesa also dive into the pressures facing modern mothers in the age of social media, where expectations can feel both amplified and unattainable. They discuss how community and connection can coexist with isolation, and how cultural influences shape the identities of influencers and their audiences alike. Rather than offering black-and-white answers, this episode invites listeners to embrace nuance and ask more thoughtful questions about the content they consume and create. It's an honest, eye-opening conversation that challenges us to rethink what we value, what we share, and at what cost.

Host Andrew Camp interviews religious ethicist and Northeastern professor Liz Bucar about her book, "Beyond Wellness: How Restoring the Religious Roots of Spiritual Practices Can Heal Us." Bucar shares her path into religious studies and explains how “spiritual salad bar” approaches—popular among Gen Z and driven by personalization and algorithms—can miss religious context, community, and ethical depth, sometimes causing harm. She critiques wellness culture's individual optimization and “toxic diet culture,” including moralizing food, ascetic restriction, and valorizing thinness, tracing these in part to mainstreamed strands of Christian theology. Bucar highlights religious resources for healthier food ways, using Ramadan to show fasting as communal, virtue-forming, and bounded by exemptions, and discusses Ayurvedic balance as an alternative to rigid good/bad food categories. The conversation emphasizes communal eating, hospitality, and flourishing beyond personal control.Liz Bucar is a religious ethicist and professor of religion at Northeastern University, as well as a certified intenSati and Kripalu yoga instructor. Her popular writing has appeared in The Atlantic, the Los Angeles Times, Teen Vogue, and The Wall Street Journal, and she is the author of four books, including the award-winning Stealing My Religion and Pious Fashion. She lives in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Tonight, the second episode of Hacks Season 5 comes out and with it, we are one step closer to the bittersweet end of a delightful show that has been running since pandemic times. In this episode Deborah Vance and the cast headed to New York City and for The Run-Through episode, the real Deborah—Jean Smart—sat down with Chloe in the studio to talk about what it's been like to be Deborah for five seasons and what comes next.“I definitely feel more like her. Or, she feels more like me,” Smart said of her character, “I mean, we look a lot alike.” She also alluded to the sarcastic sense of humor which she and Deborah both possess. As for where they differ, Smart noted that she doesn't grapple with the same anger, bitterness, and distrust that fuels many of Deborah's choices. “That's sort of been her fuel for many, many years and I think she starts to learn to give that up this season,” Smart observed.Smart will miss a lot of aspects of Hacks, not least of which are Deborah's vast and fabulous wardrobe and her tastefully designed home. “I'm a little bit of a pack rat,” Jean confessed in regards to saving clothes from over the years, though she doesn't have nearly the level of organization that exists within Debroah's wardrobe warehouse, which we glimpsed in Season 4. She was hesitant to speak on whether she took any of the clothes from set but she proudly declared that she took the drapes from Deborah's home. “And I would do it again. There! I said it!”Of course, besides the clothes, Smart is certainly going to miss working with Hannah Einbinder who she deeply admires. She also credited her with broadening her understanding of Gen-Z. “I'm definitely more woke after meeting Ms. Einbinder.” Smart isAlso on today's episode Chioma was joined by British Vogue's Radhika Seth to talk about the BV goings on. Today the Charli XCX cover is out, as is Radhika's story with the leads of Apple TV's Margo's Got Money Troubles, Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Vivian Wilson became the talk of Milan Fashion Week when she seductively walked the runway of Demna's debut Gucci show in a floor-length white gown. The 21-year-old model said she was briefed by casting to embody Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Her path to the Gucci runway began with a casting tape filmed in her own driveway. She walked "like a crazy person, like 8 million times" until she had the perfect take. The result? She ended up positioned in the lineup between icons Kate Moss and Mariacarla Boscono. "When I found that out, I was shaking in my boots," she told Chloe Malle, cozy in a Paris hotel room, while recording today's episode of The Run Through. "We did it, though."Before all the fashion week glamour in Paris and Milan, there was a very different life. Wilson spent time studying Japanese at a university in Tokyo, with plans to earn her TEFL certificate and become an ESL teacher. A Teen Vogue cover changed everything. "It completely transformed my career," she said. Now she's in Paris, doing the model thing — castings every hour, NDAs on NDAs — and entirely at peace with the pivot. "I wanna see how big I can get,” she said. “We're just locking the fuck in."The conversation took a more serious turn when Malle raised the question of whether models look markedly thinner this season than even five years ago. Wilson didn't hesitate. "It's the Ozempic apocalypse, girl. I am so fucking over this." Off the catwalk, she reads gay fantasy fiction and has a passion for Excel spreadsheets. She is trans, a John Oliver devotee, and has genuine ambitions in voice acting. Her three wishes are to appear in Vogue, attend the Met Gala, and walk for Schiaparelli. She left the hotel room with a piece of the chocolate Eiffel Tower, having resolved to break off a piece from the middle so as "not to compromise its structural integrity."Also in the episode, Vogue editors share thoughts from the Balmain, Dries Van Noten and Saint Laurent shows at Paris Fashion Week.The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Are today's young adults really that different from previous generations? In this fascinating episode, Andy Lopata sits down with Alexis Redding, who shares the incredible story of a Harvard study where she unearthed a lost trove of college student interviews from the 1970s and tracked down the participants 50 years later to play back their tapes. Through this unique "time capsule" research—and by replicating the study with the college classes of 2025 and 2026—Alexis reveals the surprising connective tissue across generations. Andy and Alexis look closely into the myth of generational differences and the impact of "micro-mentoring" and "mirror mentoring" in both academia and the workplace. Alexis Redding is a developmental psychologist, faculty co-chair of higher education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and a leading expert on young adults navigating college and career. She is the co-author of The End of Adolescence: The Lost Art of Delaying Adulthood and the author of the upcoming book, Mental Health in College: What Research Tells Us About Supporting Students. Alexis's work has been featured in The Atlantic, The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and Teen Vogue, and she recently delivered a TEDx talk on her groundbreaking research. What We Discussed: The 50-Year Time Capsule: What happened when 70-somethings listened to audio recordings of themselves at 20 years old—and how we often forget the raw emotions and insecurities of our own youth. Generational Continuity: Why college students from the 1970s and the post-COVID Class of 2025 share surprisingly identical fears, hopes, and emotional experiences. Deconstructing the Mental Health Crisis: How modern young adults are using clinical language to describe normal, developmentally appropriate struggles (like loneliness and career uncertainty), and how mentors can tell the difference between typical growing pains and the need for clinical intervention. The Nuance of Social Media: Moving past the "black and white" narrative to understand how social media both harms and uniquely supports today's youth. The Power of Micro-Mentorship: Why transformational mentoring doesn't always require a long-term, formal relationship. Sometimes, it's a focused 15-to-20-minute conversation where someone truly sees you. Mirror Mentors: The vital role that peers, roommates, and close friends play in reflecting our blind spots and guiding our career trajectories. Building Mentorship into Organisational DNA: Why algorithmic, forced corporate mentoring programs often fail, and how to organically weave everyday mentoring into a culture of workplace belonging and psychological safety.

Evan Cudworth is known as the world's first Party Coach and the creator of The Party Within, a framework designed to help adults reconnect to joy, presence, and authentic human connection in a culture that is increasingly optimized, anxious, and isolated. His work blends psychology, flow state, and community-building, and has been featured in GQ, The Washington Post, LA Times, and Teen Vogue.In this episode, we explore the idea of a “party coach” as something much deeper than nightlife or entertainment. This is about participation. About play. About rebuilding connection in a time when many of us are high-functioning but lonely.We talk about the evolution of party culture, the spiritual benefits and risks of partying, the tension between wellness culture and hedonism, and why so many adults have quietly opted out of real-life connection. We unpack the difference between numbing and presence, and how intentional gatherings can actually support mental health and nervous system regulation.This conversation is ultimately about how we show up in life. Not as performers. Not as optimizers. But as participants.Website: https://partycoach.meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/evan_cudworth/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@evan_cudworth

A DIY attitude can not only open the mind to new experiences and illuminate hidden strengths but also save a dollar or two. But we may not want to tackle every important task alone, particularly one as complex and chancy as a competitive college application. Amy and Mike invited independent educational consultant Jodi Rosenshein Atkin to help assess how to know if you need a college consultant. What are five things you will learn in this episode? Does every student need outside help in applying to college? What does a student's high school have to do with the need for a college consultant? What role do family dynamics play in the need for external support? What kinds of services do college consultants typically offer? What does it take to do it yourself? MEET OUR GUEST Jodi Rosenshein Atkin is an independent educational consultant in private practice. She holds a BA and an MA in Psychology from the University of Rochester and has over 20 years of experience in educational and clinical settings. Her first career focused on working with individuals and families living with learning challenges.

Jodi has visited over 300 college campuses in 17 different states and 3 countries! Jodi is committed to finding a "best fit" school for every student, considering academic, financial, social and cultural factors. It's about more than the mascot and the sweatshirt; it's about finding the places that each student can thrive and grow, making the most of their higher education investment. Finding the right school is a journey, not a race to some imaginary finish line. Jodi is a frequent guest speaker at libraries, schools, podcasts, and webinars. Her insights have been featured in publications nationally, including the Wall Street Journal, Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, Teen Vogue, Rochester Business Journal, and The Deseret News (Utah). She has also presented to professional groups, including the NYS Association of College Admissions Counselors.

Have you ever noticed how slowing down can feel strangely uncomfortable—even when you know you need it? Or how taking a break can stir guilt instead of relief? In this episode, I'm joined by Israa Nasir, a psychotherapist, mental health educator, and founder of WellGuide, to explore the deeper psychology behind our relentless drive to stay busy. Drawing from her new book Toxic Productivity, Israa helps us unpack the hidden beliefs that link our worth to our output—and how to step out of that pressure without losing our sense of ambition. Israa's work bridges emotional well-being, modern life, and resilience-building, and she has been featured in NBC, Vox, HuffPost, Teen Vogue, and more. She has also been invited to speak at organizations including Mental Health America, Google, Meta, and Yale. Together, we talk about where toxic productivity comes from, how it quietly shapes our self-esteem, and what it looks like to redefine success in a way that supports your mental health. You'll also walk away with practical ways to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and build a relationship with productivity that feels grounded—not draining.
In this magical start to the new year, host Kat sits down with her dear friend—psychic medium, curator, and author Sarah Potter. As we step into 2026, Sarah shares wisdom from her life-changing new book, Sober Magic: Using the Tarot and Ritual in Your Journey Away from Drinking. Together, they explore the deep intersection of art and spirituality, discussing how to navigate the "party culture" of the art world while honoring your boundaries. Sarah opens up about her transition from full-time art curator to professional witch, the power of "Glamour Magic" to armor yourself for difficult social situations, and why asking for help is a brave creative act. Plus, we dive into a Tarot forecast for 2026! Sarah reveals why this is a "Magician Year," filled with manifestation power, and how you can harness this energy to create the life (and art) you desire. Whether you are sober, sober-curious, or simply seeking a spiritual reset, this episode is a nourishing guide for your soul. Key Takeaways: Sober Magic: How to replace the "ritual" of drinking with nourishing spiritual practices like Tarot and altar work. The Art World & Alcohol: Navigating gallery openings and networking events without the crutch of a drink. Glamour Magic: Using fashion and intentional adornment (like heirlooms or specific colors) as spiritual armor. The 2026 Forecast: Why 2026 is the "Year of the Magician" and what that means for your creative potential. Embracing Discomfort: Why sitting with uncomfortable feelings is actually a superpower for artists. About the Guest: Sarah Potter is a psychic medium, Tarot reader, and professional witch based in New York City.

Claudia Sulewski is the founder of Cyklar, a new bodycare brand that bridges the gap between luxurious self-care and efficacious formulas. Before becoming a beauty founder, Sulewski was one of the original beauty YouTubers. She started her YouTube channel when she was just 13 years old, under the name BeyondBeautyStar, posting makeup tutorials, vlogs, and other lifestyle content. By the time she graduated high school, she'd grown a massive following that allowed her to monetize her content as an official YouTube partner and make her hobby her full-time job. Claudia's status as an internet sensation reached new heights when Teen Vogue tapped her to host the publication's YouTube channel as a red carpet correspondent. Her years of experience shooting and editing her own content and using herself as talent for her creative vision were also crucial when she expanded into traditional acting and directing. She's gone on to lead a successful career on and off camera since getting her start on YouTube, booking roles for hit shows like Shrinking and directing music videos for her fiancè, Grammy Award–winning artist Finneas O'Connell. Her career has now come full circle with Cyklar after years of filming GRWM videos and self-care routines for her millions of loyal followers.

This week we're rooting on Australia's bold new experiment: a nationwide social media ban for teens under 16 (even though we're not quite sure how it's gonna work). With companies on the hook for massive fines, we break down how the government plans to enforce it, what apps are included, and how we would've handled this kind of restriction as teens ourselves. Would we support something similar in the U.S., and would parents actually help enforce it? We also talk VPN loopholes, whack-a-mole app workarounds, and the nostalgia of being slightly less online growing up. We're also talking Hollywood's latest attention-grabbing strategy: vertical micro-dramas. With Netflix's bombshell bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery and streamers scrambling for our eyeballs, these 45-second, swipe-friendly “shows” are becoming a real investment. We discuss whether they work, why the “second screen problem” is driving this trend, and if TV has actually gotten worse, or if we've all just gotten too distracted. We wrap with recs: Think of setting New Year's themes, not resolutions (Andrew), vibration plates (Laura), and buying cleaning brush attachments for your drill head instead of buying a whole new cleaning appliance (Pam). And in this week's installment of After Dark: We get some follow up tea on family holiday drama, and we ask each other some probing questions about ourselves inspired by Teen Vogue's list of 215 questions to ask your friends.

What does ‘socialism' mean to a generation that grew up with COVID… not the Cold War? How have the compounding effects of college protests, financial insecurity, and student loan debt shaped a culture? This is… The ABCs of the Culture Wars. For the next few weeks, Brittany breaks down the history, subtext, and evolving meanings of the buzzwords you hear all over the news and social media. Today we're talking about the S-word: Socialism. And why the word has gained new meaning for a younger generation looking for relief. Brittany is joined by Axios senior politics reporter Holly Otterbein and head of Teen Vogue's politics section, Lex McMenamin.Follow Brittany Luse on Instagram: @bmluseFor handpicked podcast recommendations every week, subscribe to NPR's Pod Club newsletter at npr.org/podclub.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
