Podcasts about Uncertain Future

One of the most surprising developments in Washington, if you're a South Asia-watcher, is the surprising turn in U.S.-Pakistan relations. Having largely sidelined Pakistan over the past decade or more, the current U.S. administration has courted Pakistan with an enthusiasm that has caught many analysts off-guard.In June, Trump hosted Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, in the White House. A few weeks later, the White House struck a trade deal with Pakistan that kept the tariff rate at 19 percent, lower even than the 25 percent rate slapped on India. Finally, officials from both sides have been discussing joint ventures in cryptocurrency and critical minerals.To talk more about the sudden thaw in U.S.-Pakistan ties, Milan is joined on the show this week by Uzair Younus. Uzair is Chief Product Officer at TAG AI, the artificial intelligence-enabled platform developed by The Asia Group.Prior to joining The Asia Group, Uzair served as Director of the Pakistan Initiative at the Atlantic Council. He's the host of the podcast, Pakistonomy, a show which gives listeners an accessible way of understanding developments related to the politics, economics, and foreign policy of Pakistan. Uzair is also the author of a new book, Future Ready: Innovation, Abundance And The Global South. On this week's show, the two discuss Washington's quiet reassessment of Pakistan, the Trump administration's interest in Pakistan's critical minerals, and the military lessons of Operation Sindoor. Plus, the two discuss the prospects for India-Pakistan rapprochement and the Trump administration's interest in mediation. To watch this episode, click here.Episode notes:1.

*Arteetude 301 – Flood of Silence*In this episode, Detlef and Sophia step into the uncertain future of art and creativity. What happens when AI floods the world with endless music, paintings, and films? Will human senses adapt — or grow numb? Detlef reflects on his fear of cultural oversaturation, while Sophia takes the role of a future researcher, exploring possible paths: from creative collapse to new rituals of authenticity. Between philosophy and performance, this episode asks: *what will still matter in 10 years — and how can we keep art alive as human truth?* At the end we listen to a song by Los InOrganicos.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBandWAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

Higher education is at a turning point. The current model of higher education was built for the industrial era and needs to be transformed, according to Arthur Levine, author of the previously published The Great Upheaval: Higher Education's Past, Present, and Uncertain Future. He has a new book coming out in spring 2026.  He is not promoting either book at this time.  Nationally known educational thought leader and Brandeis University President Arthur Levine has been at the forefront of the changing role of higher education.  He argues that in the next 20 years, college will be reinvented.  Consumers of higher education will determine what higher education will be, and that every institution will have to change. All colleges—especially liberal arts colleges —need to be more closely tied to the needs of the workplace and must change traditional structures, curricula, programs, degree offerings, teaching methods, career education, and student support systems. The proposed changes address concerns of both parents and the needs of employers—finding workers whose skills match what they need.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard Atwood speaks with Richard Gowan about what to expect from this year's UN General Assembly High-Level Week. They discuss the mood at the UN as the second Trump administration both finds its feet at the world body and makes drastic funding cuts, forcing the UN to scale back humanitarian operations and lay off thousands of staff in New York and agencies. They examine the conflicts likely to dominate the agenda, including mounting global fury at Israel's assault on Gaza, shifting global views on Russia's war in Ukraine, the conflict in Sudan, and the challenges of Syria's new government in its dealings with the UN. Finally, they consider the future of UN peacekeeping and whether the organisation can endure as much of the post-1945 multilateral order unravels.Click here to listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

I reflect on changes in the indie hacking community, especially how Twitter's algorithm elevated a few “stars” and reduced sharing of useful lessons. I discuss how AI is transforming bootstrapping and SaaS, making coding accessible and raising anxiety about job security. I explore how software is becoming a commodity, what this means for developers and founders, and why owning distribution and marketing will matter most. I share thoughts on diversifying businesses beyond SaaS as AI rapidly evolves, and invite feedback from listeners about their own experiences with AI and entrepreneurship.Twitter: https://x.com/wbetiagoLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiago-ferreira-48562095/Timestamps by PodSqueezeIntroduction and Episode Overview (00:00:00)  Podcast Housekeeping and Call for Reviews (00:01:37)  Tiago's Indie Hacking Beginnings (00:03:06)  Golden Days of Indie Hacking Community (00:04:27)  Rise of Indie Hacking Stars and Algorithm Shift (00:05:45)  Vanity Metrics and Decline of Knowledge Sharing (00:07:17)  Personal Impact and Disconnection from Community (00:10:12)  Platform Comparison: Twitter vs. LinkedIn (00:12:47)  Transition to AI and Future of SaaS (00:14:13)  Personal Story: Co-founder's Journey with AI Coding Tools (00:14:13)  AI's Impact on Coding and Productivity (00:15:56)  AI in Daily Work and Expanding Use Cases (00:17:09)  Anxiety Over AI Replacing Computer-Based Jobs (00:20:08)  Threat of Big Tech and Commoditization of Software (00:21:31)  Changing Developer Job Market and Skills Gap (00:22:56)  Importance of Distribution and Marketing (00:25:56)  Existential Questions: AI Replacing Human Intelligence (00:27:16)  Human Value in a Post-AI World (00:31:48)  Diversification as a Survival Strategy (00:34:25)  Uncertain Future and Final Reflections (00:35:39)

The Republican spending bill signed into law by President Trump last month slashes an estimated $150 billion in federal Medicaid funding to California over the next 10 years. Nearly 40% percent of Californians rely on Medi-Cal for health coverage, and now millions are expected to fall off the rolls. That's leaving medical providers bracing for impacts, especially in places already struggling to serve all who need care. We talk to heads of clinics in the Central Valley, Shasta County and Los Angeles to hear how they're coping.

Sean Combs, also known as Puffy or P Diddy, is facing one of the most challenging periods of his life and career as summer 2025 draws to a close. Once a reigning force in hip hop, fashion, and spirits—his past year has been dominated by intense legal battles, a high-profile conviction, and life behind bars. According to AOL, Combs' latest request for bail was denied earlier this month, with the presiding judge concluding he could not await sentencing at home due to concerns about his flight risk and potential danger to others. This decision comes after Combs was convicted on two prostitution-related offenses, though he was acquitted of more severe charges including racketeering and sex trafficking.For those following the saga, prosecutors argued Combs used his fame, wealth, and violence to coerce ex-girlfriends into “freak-off” sex parties that were often drug-fueled and filmed. The defense countered by insisting that while Combs' relationships might have been unconventional and involved outbursts, they were still consensual. Sentencing is set for October, with a maximum of up to ten years possible, but the actual outcome will depend on federal guidelines and the judge's discretion.Meanwhile TMZ reports, care of a recent IMDb news update, that Combs has started two federal prison programs—one addressing drug abuse and the other focusing on domestic violence—plus additional therapy. This step is seen as strategic with sentencing looming in just weeks. Prosecutors are seeking four years, but experts say he may serve between one and two years given current circumstances.Even as his legal troubles mount, Combs remains an influential figure in music and business. News from IMDb and FandomWire points to a fortune still estimated north of a billion dollars, built over decades through ventures like his partnership with Diageo for Cîroc vodka and DeLeón Tequila, as well as Bad Boy Records, which helped launch the careers of Mary J. Blige, Notorious B.I.G., and Usher.Media in the UK, including a forthcoming BBC documentary, will soon explore Combs' meteoric rise and recent downfall, examining his impact on pop culture and what led to his ongoing legal troubles. From the glitz of the music world to a Brooklyn jail cell, the story of Sean Combs in 2025 is a testament to dramatic reversals of fortune.Thanks for tuning in and be sure to come back next week for more.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 brought a tragic close to a thirty-year period of history that began with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the reopening of Russia to the West after six decades of Soviet isolation. The opening lasted for three tumultuous decades and ended with a new closing, driven by the Ukrainian war, the imposition of Western sanctions, and the Russian responses to them. In Perfect Storm: Russia's Failed Economic Opening, the Hurricane of War and Sanctions, and the Uncertain Future (Oxford University Press, 2025), Russia analyst Thane Gustafson reinterprets the story of Russia's failed opening to the West, focusing on its economic, technological, and social aspects, and the role they played in its ultimate failure. These parallel events are essential for understanding what happened and what went wrong. Yet they have received much less attention than the military and geopolitical aspects of the current conflict. Gustafson tells the story of the West's entry into Russia, the arrival of Russians into the West, and the conflicting emotions and responses these aroused on both sides, contributing to the ultimate breakdown of relations and the unprecedented hurricane of Western sanctions. The book concludes with an examination of possible futures under a new generation of leaders. A measured and nuanced account of the evolution of Russia's economic relations with the world, Perfect Storm illuminates the longer history of Russia's opening to the West, from its achievements and disappointments to the complexity of the post-invasion sanctions regime and Russia's responses to them. Thane Gustafson is Professor of Government at Georgetown University. He is the author of many books, including Klimat (2021), The Bridge (2020), and Wheel of Fortune (2012).

These parallel events are essential for understanding what happened and what went wrong. Yet they have received much less attention than the military and geopolitical aspects of the current conflict. Gustafson tells the story of the West's entry into Russia, the arrival of Russians into the West, and the conflicting emotions and responses these aroused on both sides, contributing to the ultimate breakdown of relations and the unprecedented hurricane of Western sanctions. The book concludes with an examination of possible futures under a new generation of leaders. A measured and nuanced account of the evolution of Russia's economic relations with the world, Perfect Storm illuminates the longer history of Russia's opening to the West, from its achievements and disappointments to the complexity of the post-invasion sanctions regime and Russia's responses to them.

In this episode of STRAT, retired Marine Intelligence Officer Hal Kempfer breaks down the latest developments in high-stakes diplomacy surrounding the Ukraine war. The much-anticipated Alaska summit between former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin ended without concrete agreements, though both leaders called the discussions “productive” and “constructive.” Trump emphasized security guarantees for Ukraine and highlighting the possibility of a trilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Meanwhile, European leaders met with President Trump for additional talks in Washington, D.C.. We explore the implications of security guarantees, the risks of assassination attempts, and the strategic challenges facing Putin's regime. We also examine Ukraine's rapidly expanding drone and missile programs, including new fiber-optic drones and the powerful Flamingo missile, both of which are reshaping the battlefield. This episode goes in-depth and provides critical background for the issues involved in these talks.Takeaways:Alaska summit between Trump and Putin concluded with no firm agreements.Both leaders described talks as “productive” but offered no specifics.European leaders met with President Trump at the White House.Ukraine's drone production boom, including fiber-optic drones, is game-changing.Ukraine's drone production, including fiber optic drones and the new Ukrainian Flamingo missile are potentially game changing.Security guarantees remain central, with uncertainty about U.S./European commitments.Putin's mindset, along with political and economic vulnerabilities, shape his peace calculus.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #TrumpPutin #VolodymyrZelenskyy #Ceasefire #SecurityGuarantees #MilitaryStrategy #DroneWarfare #FlamingoMissile #Geopolitics #EuropeanLeaders #USForeignPolicy #RussiaUkraine #DefenseStrategy #GlobalSecurity #ConflictResolution

The Republican spending bill signed into law by President Trump last month slashes an estimated $150 billion in federal Medicaid funding to California over the next 10 years.

In a recent essay in Foreign Affairs, the scholar and former U.S. official Ashley J. Tellis makes a provocative argument about India's foreign policy. In a piece titled “India's Great-Power Delusions,” Tellis argues that Indian policymakers have their priorities wrong. Instead of pushing for what they call “multipolarity” in the international system, Indian leaders should align more closely with the United States. Tellis insists that India will be able to fend off China, its far stronger rival in Asia, only with U.S. backing. But it may lose that support if it continues to express skepticism about U.S. leadership and courts U.S. adversaries. Tellis's essay has provoked huge debate—in Washington, in New Delhi, and in the pages of Foreign Affairs. In this episode, Dan Kurtz-Phelan brings Tellis into conversation with two of his critics: the former Indian foreign secretary Nirupama Rao and the analyst Dhruva Jaishankar. Kurtz-Phelan spoke with them on July 25, a few days before the Trump administration announced 25 percent tariffs on India, the latest twist in ongoing negotiations with New Delhi over a new trade deal. Tellis, Rao, and Jaishankar debate India's pathways to power in the September/October 2025 issue of Foreign Affairs. Their disagreements touch not just on the directions of Indian and U.S. foreign policies but also on the very nature of international order in the twenty-first century.

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the Ace Bailey saga, LeBron James' future and the Malik Beasley investigation. Bo starts off the show by asking what did Ace Bailey actually want out of all of this (1:28) and whoever was representing him was making terrible decisions (11:57). Bo moves onto LeBron James opting into his $52M deal with the Lakers which makes life difficult for Rich Paul (13:36) and begs the question - is LeBron still severely underpaid (14:28) ? Bo rounds out the basketball discussion by saying Malik Beasley betting on props won't bother the general public (26:20) but why this will continue to ruin the integrity of the sport as long as we can bet from our phones (29:40). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving weight loss products, air conditioning in the summer and a dating app based on your search history (35:28). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time a fight broke out during a pickup basketball game.
