Ich glaube, wir spüren es alle. Die Mieten werden immer höher und es ist fast unmöglich, noch eine bezahlbare Wohnung in Köln zu finden. Es gibt aber auch immer wieder Gruppen, die sich zusammenschließen, um gegen den Mietenwahnsinn kämpfen. Es gibt zum Beispiel das Mietshäuser Syndikat, hier sind viele Hausprojekte zusammengeschlossen, die sich für faire Mieten einsetzen. Kölncampus-Reporterin Franka hat so ein Hausprojekt besucht und was sie dabei gelernt hat, hören wir jetzt.

In March, President Trump signed an executive order that promises to preserve and protect the integrity of American elections. The data shows the integrity of our election system is intact despite the claims of many politicians and the perception of many voters. So what is the president trying to change about a system that isn't broken? Who will it affect and how much will it cost them? Finally, while Congress and the States are constitutionally-empowered to make election law, the president is not. So... can he?Our guide to this executive order is Jason Carter of the Carter Center.  CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO THE SHOW AND CHECK OUT OUR NEW TOTE BAG!CLICK HERE: Visit our website to see all of our episodes, donate to the podcast, sign up for our newsletter, get free educational materials, and more!To see Civics 101 in book form, check out A User's Guide to Democracy: How America Works by Hannah McCarthy and Nick Capodice, featuring illustrations by Tom Toro.Check out our other weekly NHPR podcast, Outside/In - we think you'll love it!

A debate has been heating up on crypto Twitter about Real Economic Value (REV) — a metric meant to measure the value blockchains accrue from user activity. REV includes transaction fees and MEV tips, but excludes issuance — the inflationary rewards paid to validators. Some say it's the clearest window into genuine usage. Others argue it's a flawed and misleading proxy. So we brought the argument to Unchained. Tom Dunleavy, Head of Venture at Varys Capital, says fees are headed to zero, and blockchains shouldn't be valued like companies. Meanwhile, Austin Federa, Co-founder of DoubleZero, believes REV offers a real lens on activity, maturity, and demand. The conversation covers: Whether REV is a meaningful metric (and how to game it) Whether L2 tokens are fundamentally broken What happens to security when fees (and MEV) go to zero If high REV signals product-market fit or just economic noise How to value blockchains, if not with REV Visit our website for breaking news, analysis, op-eds, articles to learn about crypto, and much more: unchainedcrypto.com Thank you to our sponsors!

The SAVE Act passed the House in April, 2025. As it awaits consideration in Congress, we spoke with Jason Carter from the Carter Center. Yes, like that Carter. Jason is asking why Congress is working on a vanishingly rare problem: noncitizen voting. The SAVE Act, if it becomes law, will require additional proof of citizenship for all Americans seeking to register -- or reregister -- to vote. The goal? To stop all noncitizens from voting -- which rarely happens.

The ability to effectively manage and optimise data is key in an organisation today. But with the sheer volume and complexity of enterprise data, traditional methods are struggling to keep up with the change. This is where the agentic AI approach has swooped in to transform how organisations handle their most valuable resource. "The promise of AI and agentic AI is that we're now building very meaningful automation into the platform such that these teams of 10 are now able to basically actually capture all of the metadata about all of the data cataloged across their entire company," stated Corey Keyser, the head of artificial intelligence (AI) at Ataccama.In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Shubhangi Dua, a B2B tech journalist and Podcast host at EM360Tech speaks with Keyser from Ataccama, about agentic AI, data quality, and data governance. They explore how intelligent automation is shaping enterprise data management, the role of AI in improving data quality, and the importance of trust in AI systems. Additionally, Keyser shares significant insights on Ataccama's unique approach to data governance, practical applications of their AI agent, and how they are keeping pace with the constantly changing AI regulations. While the speed and efficiency of AI are undeniable, the question of trust remains. Keyser addressed this directly: "The short answer is you can never fully trust these automations, right? “That's why it's really critical to always have data stewards that we will serve. We will always have data engineers that we will serve. We're just looking to improve their productivity. We always assume that there will be humans in the loop who are verifying the tasks orchestrated by AI agents."Ataccama's One AI Agent exemplifies the practical application of these principles. Keyser added that the AI agent can go and create data quality rules in bulk. “Go through the evaluation and testing of those quality rules in bulk, and then also assign the rules in bulk. Something that would take potentially weeks, can now actually kind of take hours depending on the person."TakeawaysAgentic AI is about dynamic planning and semi-autonomous task execution.Data governance involves cataloging and managing organisational data.Data quality assessment is crucial for ensuring high trust in data.AI can significantly speed up the creation of data quality rules.Human oversight is essential in AI-driven automation processes.Atacama's AI agent improves productivity for data management teams.Regulatory compliance is a growing concern for AI applications.User experience is key to successful AI integration in organisations.The relationship between data and AI is symbiotic and essential.Organisations must adapt to evolving AI regulations and standards.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Agentic AI and Data Governance02:41 Understanding Data Quality

Part 1 Bittersweet by Susan Cain Summary"Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole" by Susan Cain explores the emotional landscape of what it means to embrace the bittersweet aspects of life. In her book, Cain, best known for her work on introversion in "Quiet," delves into how experiences of sorrow, longing, and melancholy can enrich our lives and foster deeper connections with ourselves and others. Key Themes:The Nature of Bittersweetness: Cain argues that the feeling of bittersweetness—a blend of joy and sadness—has a profound impact on creativity, resilience, and personal growth. By recognizing and accepting our sorrows, we can also appreciate the fleeting joys of life.Cultural Perspective: The book discusses how different cultures interpret emotions, particularly how Western societies often prioritize positivity while neglecting the value of negative emotions. Cain contrasts this with cultures that honor melancholy and sorrow as integral to the human experience.Psychological Insights: Drawing on psychological research, Cain illustrates the benefits of experiencing and processing negative emotions. She emphasizes how acknowledging sorrow can enhance empathy, compassion, and deeper human connections.Creativity and Art: Cain highlights how many artists, writers, and musicians harness bittersweet emotions to create impactful works. She argues that these feelings of longing and grief often lead to profound artistic expression and innovation.Personal Anecdotes: The book includes personal stories and interviews with individuals who reflect on their own experiences with bittersweet emotions, showcasing the universal nature of these feelings. Conclusion:In "Bittersweet," Susan Cain urges readers to embrace the full spectrum of human emotions. By acknowledging and exploring sorrow, one can unlock a richer, more meaningful life, ultimately realizing that joy and pain coexist, contributing to our overall emotional experience.Part 2 Bittersweet AuthorSusan Cain is an American writer and speaker known for her work on the subjects of introversion and emotional depth. She gained significant recognition for her bestselling book "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking," published in 2012. This book explores the strengths of introverts and how they can thrive in a society that often rewards extroverted behavior.In March 2022, she released her second book titled "Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole." This book examines the concept of bittersweetness—the intricate relationship between joy and sorrow—and how embracing both can lead to a deeper understanding of life.Aside from these two main works, Susan Cain has also contributed to the literary scene through her articles and advocacy for the power of introverted individuals.In terms of editions, "Quiet" has seen widespread acclaim, with various editions including a deluxe edition that might be considered the best in terms of content and extras. However, both of her major works, "Quiet" and "Bittersweet," provide significant insights into human personality and emotional complexity. The choice of the "best" book often depends on individual preference, with many readers finding that they relate more to one of her themes."} ++++json_input Erotisk erotisk.

On this episode of Tame the Mobile Beast, host Tom Butta dives deep into the challenges of breaking down business silos and fostering creativity with Nick Law, Creative Chairperson at Accenture Song. Throughout their conversation, Nick and Tom explore the importance of aligning what matters to customers with what drives profitability for the business. Nick argues that “ You're not making business decisions separate from what's good for the customer, and you're also not making  customer decisions that aren't gonna be good for business.”Together, they emphasize that a unified approach not only fosters a more cohesive customer experiencem, but also strengthens the organization as a whole. Nick points out that while operating in silos is a natural step of scaling your organization, it can create costly inefficiencies and jeapordizies a collaboration that is rooted in shared vision and principles. Drawing on real-world examples from his own career, Nick reflects on how businesses can adapt to technological advancements without sacrificing empathy and creativity. Ultimately, he urges organizations to remember that technology should enhance, not replace, the nuanced human judgment that's essential for delivering exceptional customer experiences.—Guest Quote" The hardest thing is to reverse engineer everything from your customer. Now, it doesn't mean by the way that we surrender to everything the customer wants, but don't run a business. We're always a business. But what you need to align is what's relevant for the customer with what's gonna make you money. There's an overlap there. It's not a silo. You're not making business decisions separate from what's good for the customer, and you're also not making customer decisions that aren't gonna be good for business. So that's the trick.” – Nick Law—Time Stamps 00:53 Introducing Nick Law and the Beast of the Week01:17 Understanding business silos02:56 The importance of collaboration in creativity06:45 Designing effective collaborations12:46 The role of vision in breaking down silos18:50 Principles vs. practices in creative work23:13 Leadership and vision in organizations26:14 Customer-centric business strategies29:17 Balancing systematic and empathetic thinking38:45 The future of creativity and AI44:59 Rapid Fire Questions—LinksConnect with Nick Law on LinkedInCheck out Accenture SongConnect with Tom Butta on LinkedInCheck out the Airship Website

Public media funding makes up less than 0.0001% of the federal budget, and calls to defund it have existed essentially since the creation of the CBP in 1967. However, the history of public media is much longer, and more complicated, than the creation of Sesame Street or NPR. We revisit our episode from last year about how the government funds public media, through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and how that money is spent. We also talk about free press, and the firewall that prevents politicians and the government from controlling the flow of public information and educational programming. Since the episode first came out in July, 2024, President Trump has re-entered office, and has taken a number of steps to discredit and disassemble the free press, including public media. Trump has called for the FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, to investigate NPR and other public media organizations for their use of corporate support. He also recently announced that he had fired three members of the CPB's five-member board, something the CPB has said he does not have the authority to do, in a lawsuit they filed against his administration. And finally, alongside calling for Congress to defund the CPB, he issued an executive order telling the CPB to halt all funding to public media, which, as you'll learn more about in the episode, is the kind of political directive that the CPB was created to prevent in the first place.    CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO THE SHOW AND CHECK OUT OUR NEW TOTE BAG!CLICK HERE: Visit our website to see all of our episodes, donate to the podcast, sign up for our newsletter, get free educational materials, and more!To see Civics 101 in book form, check out A User's Guide to Democracy: How America Works by Hannah McCarthy and Nick Capodice, featuring illustrations by Tom Toro.Check out our other weekly NHPR podcast, Outside/In - we think you'll love it!

"Now, some people are only ever going to want to use WhatsApp to message the people in their life, and they should be able to carry on doing that and have an incredibly simple experience in doing so. But we're increasingly seeing that users want to use WhatsApp for more than messaging close friends and family. It's why we're doing things like business messaging. It's why we built new features like channels and status and updates tab separate from your personal chats. We think that if we carry on getting the core of private messaging right, it also gives us the opportunity to build more of these features that users want." - Alice Newton-Rex Fresh out of the studio, Alice Newton-Rex, Vice President and Head of Product at WhatsApp, joins us to explore how the messaging platform balances innovation with privacy for over 3 billion users worldwide. In the conversation, Alice explained WhatsApp's three guiding principles: simple, reliable, and private. She emphasized that the features they say "no" to are often more important than those they approve, highlighting how WhatsApp has evolved beyond personal messaging to include business services that serve over 200 million businesses globally and balancing innovation with trust on how Meta AI is integrated into the platform. Last but not least, Alice describes what great would look like for WhatsApp continuing to be the most private way for people to communicate while maintaining simplicity and reliability at global scale.

Dominic Carter, CEO of the Carter Group, shares how a personal frustration with his aging parents' care became a long-term mission: building real, user-driven aging tech in one of the world's oldest—and most demanding—markets. From human-centric research to venture studio development, Dominic shows how Gen Xers can lead the future of aging by solving the problems we're all going to face. This isn't just eldercare innovation—it's preemptive, practical system design. For those over 50 building what comes next, this episode is a field guide to action rooted in empathy, not hype.>>From Personal Wake-Up Call to Business Blueprint“I wanted better options for my parents—and for myself one day.”Dominic shares how watching his parents' struggle with aging became the catalyst for a venture into real, human-first aging innovation.>>Aging Tech Isn't Just for the Elderly“Aging begins at 50—and the opportunity starts there.”He reframes aged tech not as a niche, but as a massive, underserved market hiding in plain sight.>>Start with the User—or Don't Start at All“If you don't listen, you'll waste time, money, and trust.”Dominic explains why most aging tech fails: founders fall in love with ideas, not problems—and skip the hard part: listening.>>Culture Is More Than Geography“The cultural gap between 55 and 75 is as wide as the one between Japan and the West.”He unpacks why aging solutions must be co-designed with users—and adapted not just to national cultures, but age-based subcultures.>>Building Credibility One Win at a Time“Get the use case. Prove the value. Then scale.”Dominic outlines his venture studio strategy—prioritizing two user-validated products (a friction-reducing linen set and a wearable tremor device) to establish proof before expansion.______________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guests: Dominic Carter  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with author, researcher, and documentary filmmaker Aly Vredenburgh to unpack the deeper roots of the Gen Z mental health crisis. Forget the surface-level blame on screen time—Aly breaks down how systemic issues, policy failures, and cultural shifts are fueling unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness in younger generations. From misunderstood social dynamics to lack of access to preventive care, Aly's fresh and solution-focused insights are a wake-up call for individuals, parents, educators, and policymakers alike. About the Guest:Aly Vredenburgh is an author, sociologist, and advocate for youth mental health. With a master's in social innovation, she challenges the status quo through her book Out of Focus: Why Gen Z's Mental Health Crisis is More Complex Than You Think and her upcoming documentary Crisis Generation. Her mission is to drive awareness and action by tackling mental health with compassion, community, and bold policy reform. Key Takeaways: The Gen Z mental health crisis isn't just about tech—it's rooted in systemic neglect, cultural disconnection, and lack of policy support. Social media isn't the villain—it can be a powerful tool for community, education, and healing when used intentionally. Aly advocates for universal mental health care, more school counselors, and addressing loneliness as public health priorities. Awareness alone isn't enough—real change starts with empathy, purpose, and collective action. Storytelling, especially through film, can transform hearts and policies in ways raw data never could.

Today we were going to explore how "big tech" has woven itself into the fabric of the Trump administration. But after a conversation with Allison Stanger, professor at Middlebury College, we decided to focus exclusively on Elon Musk and his relationship with Donald Trump. What is DOGE, the "Department of Governmental Efficiency?" And while we're at it, what is efficiency anyways? Has DOGE saved Americans any money? What information of ours are they trying to access? And is there any chance they've already succeeded?
