We've never had more wealth, more data, or more ways to be entertained. So why doesn't it feel like progress? Sean's guest today is Brad DeLong, an economic historian at UC Berkeley and author of Slouching Towards Utopia. They talk about the difference between getting richer and living well, and why the real hinge of the 21st century might be attention rather than growth. DeLong explains how AI could make life easier or simply make us more distracted, why the world's progress continues even as American politics falters, and what smart policy could do for the people left behind by technological change.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Vox about her journey through an abusive relationship with a manipulative conman. Vox believed she had found true love, but soon uncovered deception, financial manipulation, multiple secret lives, and escalating abuse. Despite her efforts to escape, her abuser's smooth tactics kept her trapped. Vox's story, filled with unexpected twists, reaches a breaking point when she faces her own arrest, deepening her struggle. It's a story of gaslighting, physical abuse, suicidal ideation, suicide threats, financial abuse, intergenerational trauma, control, addiction, restraining orders, revenge, court, a conman, false imprisonment, self worth, trauma, and getting support.*** CONTENT WARNING - We discuss physical abuse, suicide threats, and suicidal ideation in this episode. ***If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please click here or send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.mePODCAST RECOMMENDATIONS:Perfect Prey With Dr. Christine Cocchiola | Click HereThe Covert Narcissism Podcast | Click HereBitch is a Bad Word | Click HereWhen Dating Hurts Podcast | Click Here

Feijóo organiza rápidamente una concentración contra el desgobierno y la corrupción, reuniendo a 40.000 ciudadanos. Este movimiento tiene éxito a pesar de los intentos de VOX por disuadir a sus votantes, e incluso cuenta con el apoyo de antiguos miembros de VOX.

El Congreso de los Diputados ha tumbado la senda de estabilidad del Gobierno con los votos en contra de PP, Vox y Junts. Más allá del ruido político... ¿Cuáles son las implicaciones económicas del rechazo? ¿Qué regiones salen peor paradas? Lo analizamos con Diego Martínez-López, catedrático economía de la Universidad Pablo Olavide de Sevilla.
En el día en que José Luis Ábalos y Koldo García han ingresado en prisión preventiva en Soto del Real, la ministra de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades y secretaria general de PSPV-PSOE, Diana Morant, ha subrayado que es una imagen "que no gusta ver, y que afecta en lo personal", pero que su formación "ha actuado con contundencia desde hace mucho tiempo contra estos sinvergüenzas". Sobre la posibilidad de que Ábalos 'tire de la manta', Morant pone su "plena confianza" en el presidente del Gobierno: "Lo que hay es un intento desesperado de ser un chivo expiatorio que le puede valer para su defensa". Además, coincidiendo con la proclamación de Juanfran Pérez Llorca como nuevo president de la Comunidad Valenciana de la mano de Vox, la ministra ha lamentado que la Comunidad se convierta en un "laboratorio de la ultraderecha", y ha apuntado a una línea continuista con la gestión de Mazón: "Ha sido una investidura fake. Han hecho todo lo posible para que parezca que las cosas cambian sin cambiar nada". "Los valencianos y valencianas teníamos que haber podido decidir sobre nuestro futuro", ha afirmado. En lo referido a la manifestación en Madrid en defensa de la universidad pública, Morant ha arremetido contra la Comunidad madrileña y su presidenta, Isabel Díaz Ayuso: "La infrafinanciación a la que está sometiendo a la universidad pública la pone en grave peligro. La asfixia es total". Sobre la crisis en el Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas (CNIO), objeto de una investigación por una supuesta trama de corrupción, la responsable socialista defiende el trabajo de sus profesionales y reivindica su trabajo: "No hay cosa que me duela más que, en un momento en que estamos invirtiendo más que nunca en investigación, cualquier euro destinado a ello pueda haber sido redirigido de manera irregular".Escuchar audio

Episode #435: “There is a person behind every piece of policy,” says Nandar, a senior digital security expert at DigiSec Lab, reflecting on Myanmar's transformation into a digital prison since the 2021 military coup. Along with researcher and trainer Vox, journalist and consultant Myat, and political researcher Candle, they discuss how the junta's technological control has reshaped daily life, eroded freedom, and forced citizens to adapt in order to survive. Nandar, who leads digital safety training and emergency response, describes Myanmar's “digital siege” as an Internet that works but no longer grants freedom. Layers of control filter access, monitor behavior, and instill fear. Through deep packet inspection, metadata tracking, and the 2025 Cybersecurity Law, the state monitors every interaction and compels service providers to surrender data. The result, she explains, is not disconnection but silence—an online world where communication feels dangerous and self-censorship has become instinct. Journalists, activists, and youth face the worst effects, yet resistance endures in small, encrypted acts of persistence. Vox, a digital safety researcher, recalls how after the coup, blackouts became “Internet curfews,” and police raids and digital fear merged into everyday life. With no protection from global companies, he and others learned that tools like Signal or Telegram could not guarantee safety. Every conversation required verification; every contact might be compromised. Digital survival meant learning espionage tactics in civilian life. Years later, he says, surveillance has become total. What began as emergency control has evolved into permanent monitoring, leaving an entire generation living cautiously under a digital authoritarian state. Myat, a journalist and media consultant, says that while before the coup, Myanmar's independent press was expanding, after the coup, licenses were revoked, reporters jailed, and websites blocked. Exiled media outlets now depend on fragile networks inside the country. Online activity itself has become perilous: VPN use invites arrest, encryption offers no safety when authorities demand passwords, and surveillance reaches into every newsroom. Myat works to train journalists in digital hygiene and security awareness, yet she warns that technology alone cannot protect them. Financial collapse and fear have made survival uncertain, and she insists that the culture of safety—and courage—must now define journalism in Myanmar. Candle, a political researcher leading DigiSec's “Duty of Care” project, focuses on how scholars must adapt research ethics to extreme risk. Fieldwork, interviews, and data collection can expose both researchers and participants to danger, so her team developed a Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan for every project. Integrating encryption, anonymization, and storage security has become an ethical duty, not a technical choice. She explains that fear now shapes participation—many citizens decline interviews or refuse to share information. By embedding safety into research design, Candle argues, social inquiry itself becomes an act of protection as much as discovery. Together, their voices reveal a single truth: in Myanmar, speaking, writing, and researching have become acts of resistance sustained by vigilance and quiet resilience.

Conservation urgently needs creative and artistic solutions to addressing pressing biodiversity and climate issues in democratic and ethical ways. What role can the creative storytelling practice of native insect photography play in transforming species conservation to a discipline which respects and cares for overlooked insects and the critical ecosystems that support declining populations such as native bees, and is inclusive of the invaluable contributions of communities and those outside the discipline? In this month's conversation, we are joined by Krystle Hickman, a National Geographic Explorer, TEDx speaker, conservation photographer, and native bee expert who uses her photography to raise awareness about the decline of native bee species and their complex ecosystems. Her work has been featured on platforms like Vox, PBS, and the podcast Ologies, expanding her impact beyond visual storytelling. Hickman has also presented at major global and academic venues, including the 2024 United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP16) and universities such as Harvard, UCLA, and UC Irvine.

Americans are currently besotted with protein. It's touted as being good for muscle growth, weight loss, skincare, mental acuity, longevity, and much else besides. It's sold to men, women, children, the elderly— you can even buy protein for your pets. The protein supplement market alone is worth $21 billion and growing—and extra protein is being added to coffee, cereal, pasta, beer, ice cream, and popcorn. But as frenzied as we currently are about protein, this is not the first protein boom—or even the second. Protein has been promoted as a charismatic, cure-all nutrient for nearly two centuries. In this episode, with the help of Samantha King and Gavin Weedon, the authors of Protein: The Making of a Nutritional Superstar, we look closely at all our protein crazes and their associated protein products—from beef tea to whey powder—and see what they can tell us about our current protein mania.

Lawmakers in Washington voted overwhelmingly to release the Epstein files. USA Today reports on what comes next. President Trump says he opposes extending Affordable Care Act subsides that are set to expire at the end of the year. Dan Diamond, reporter at the Washington Post, explains the alternatives on the table. Iran’s drought crisis has led many to say the country is now water bankrupt. Vox reports on why the situation in Tehran should be a warning to other dry cities. Plus, why Trump waved off questions about the killing of Jamal Khashoggi during the Saudi crown prince’s visit, a panel of federal judges blocked Texas’s gerrymandered congressional map, and how interaction with humans is changing raccoons. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

Americans are currently besotted with protein. It's touted as being good for muscle growth, weight loss, skincare, mental acuity, longevity, and much else besides. It's sold to men, women, children, the elderly— you can even buy protein for your pets. The protein supplement market alone is worth $21 billion and growing—and extra protein is being added to coffee, cereal, pasta, beer, ice cream, and popcorn. But as frenzied as we currently are about protein, this is not the first protein boom—or even the second. Protein has been promoted as a charismatic, cure-all nutrient for nearly two centuries. In this episode, with the help of Samantha King and Gavin Weedon, the authors of Protein: The Making of a Nutritional Superstar, we look closely at all our protein crazes and their associated protein products—from beef tea to whey powder—and see what they can tell us about our current protein mania. This episode was produced by Max Freedman. Decoder Ring is also produced by Willa Paskin, Katie Shepherd, and Evan Chung, our supervising producer. We had editing support from Josh Levin and fact-checking by Sophie Summergrad. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director.

A civil war is unfolding inside the MAGA movement over Nick Fuentes, the neo-Nazi and white supremacist, and President Donald Trump just made it worse. In an interview, Trump defended Fuentes in a way that will boost his standing inside MAGA in a big way. As it turns out, however, this will create a surprising and unwelcome problem for JD Vance. The vice president has tried to avoid taking sides on Fuentes. But it's now clear that Fuentes represents a constituency inside MAGA that's too big to exile. That means Vance, who's hoping to harness MAGA for his 2028 presidential run, will have to tread carefully, and Trump's intervention has only made that harder for him. We talked to Vox's Zack Beauchamp, who has a great new piece digging into all this. He explains Fuentes's growing influence inside MAGA, why Vance will struggle to navigate all these complexities, and what all this says about today's right more broadly.

Ready for a fabulous gay retirement in Ecuador?Thinking about retiring abroad? You're not alone. In Ep. 616 we break down Ecuador—a country that punches above its weight with year-round spring weather, U.S. dollar convenience, solid healthcare, and a much lower cost of living. We cover legal landscape (marriage since 2019; gender recognition 2024), where stigma still shows up, and our Top 5 Ecuador cities for gay retirees—Salinas, Cotacachi, Guayaquil, Quito, Cuenca—with 2BR rent ranges, cost-of-living vs. U.S., and our Queer Money Retirement Rating for each.Key TakeawaysReal savings: Many Ecuador cities run ~50–70% cheaper than the U.S., with rents that can be a fraction of stateside prices.Climate win: Highland zones offer “eternal spring”—often no A/C or snow shovels.Queer reality: Legal wins exist, but visibility and safety vary by city; Quito leads for LGBTQ+ infrastructure, Cuenca for expat ease.Trade-offs: Big-city perks vs. crime hot spots (e.g., Guayaquil), beach life vs. tourist pricing (Salinas), quiet charm vs. fewer queer spaces (Cotacachi/Cuenca).Chapters:00:00 – Intro: Why Ecuador keeps popping for LGBTQ+ retirees02:29 – #5 Salinas (beach town, Vox gay disco): 2BR ~$500–$800 | COL ~50–65% ↓ | Rating 6/1004:37 – #4 Cotacachi (quiet Andean base): 2BR ~$450–$600 | COL ~60–70% ↓ | Rating 7/1006:29 – #3 Guayaquil (big-city energy): 2BR ~$620 | COL ~60–65% ↓ | crime caveat | Rating 7/1009:11 – #2 Quito (capital & queer hub): 2BR ~$675–$1,300 | COL ~54–63% ↓ | Rating 8/1011:40 – #1 Cuenca (expat favorite): 2BR ~$300–$600 | COL ~60–70% ↓ | Rating 9/1013:51 – Next up & wrap upLinks referenced in this episode:queermoneypodcast.com/citiesqueermoneypodcast.com/hgrcalcMentioned in this episode:Get Your Portugal Golden Visa Faster Here!Want a European passport with access to living in nearly any European country?

Today I sit down with journalist Astead Herndon, whose award-winning political reporting has appeared in The New York Times, on CNN, and now in Vox, where he serves as editorial director. Astead and I explore how President Donald Trump's 2016 victory reshaped our own views of American politics. We disagree—cordially—about how much of Trump's rise was driven by racism, and what that moment revealed about the country. From there, we discuss why more black voters have been moving to the right, and what that shift says about ideology, class, and generational change. We also dive into Astead's take on New York City politics, including Zohran Mamdani's victory, touching on debates over Israel and Palestine, and Mamdani's pivot away from “Defund the Police” and his evolving stance on rent control.

Have you picked up a couple weights recently? Started walking, or jogging, or doing pilates? So have a lot of other people. You see the fitness Instagram accounts and gym tips all over TikTok, but how does exercise culture fit into our broader culture? And how does more enthusiasm for exercise square with the focus on fitness in our politics? Brittany gets into it with Jonquilyn Hill, host of Vox's Explain it to Me podcast, and Shelly McKenzie, author of Getting Physical: the Rise of Fitness Culture in America.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
Back in October, Nick Fuentes, the Gen Z white nationalist influencer, was trending in the news after a leaked Young Republicans chat revealed how his ideas were taking hold in some conservative circles. Then, just a week or so later, Fuentes sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson. That 2-hour interview triggered a crisis amongst the GOP's top brass that pitted major conservative influencers against each other, and garnered headlines declaring the start of a Republican “civil war.” For this midweek podcast extra, host Micah Loewinger called up Zack Beauchamp, senior correspondent for Vox, to wade through the fallout around Fuentes and Carlson, and break down what this tells us about antisemitism in American politics.
