As a freshman at Yale in the spring of 1974, Dan Schlesinger broke the school's record in the 6-mile run. That record was previously held by a guy named Frank Shorter. Remember this for your next running trivia game.Schlesinger did much more in his running career, and also on the long, twisting path that eventually led to his current work as a fine artist. In the 1982 NYC Marathon, Schlesinger came out of seemingly nowhere to finish third in 2:11:54. He was beaten only by Alberto Salazar and Rodolfo Gomez. The next spring Schlesinger placed eighth at Boston with a personal best time of 2:11:37.That made him a strong contender in the 1984 Olympic Marathon Trials, and Schlesinger was super-fit, as he describes in this podcast. But sometimes things don't always work out the way you hope. He had similar bad luck in preparing for the 1988 Trials.Then he got on with life, finding a job as a translator in Korea and gaining his legal degree at Harvard. This career path didn't excite Schlesinger, so he began dabbling in various art forms.One thing led to the next, and he eventually gained the assignment to illustrate all the Harry Potter books in Japan. These volumes sold more than 20 million copies, and launched Schlesinger into the fulltime art work he has pursued ever since. Indeed, his newest project is an illustrated book out in mid October that's called Injury Blues And The Red Running Shoes. It's personal, colorful, humorous at times, and intended to inspire injured runners to believe they'll soon be back on the road again. Like Dan himself.To see a portfolio of Schlesinger's artwork, go here. WHERE TO FIND "RUNNING: STATE OF THE SPORT"Use your smartphone to download our podcast from Apple, Spotify, or YouTube Podcasts.

We hear different views over which secret society runs world affairs. Some say the Freemasons, some say a Jewish group, others just put it under one conglomerate known as the Illuminati.You'll hear the audio of Theo Von interviewing Dr. Jiang explaining how economically secret societies run the world and then I'll give you my take on it.

Lee Glandorf is a writer, brand marketer, former Yale rower, seven-year Tracksmith veteran, and the creator of The Sweat Lookbook, a newsletter about sports and fashion through the lens of the female athlete. In this conversation, Zoë and Brendan finally ask the question keeping them up at night: why is everyone dressed like it's 2003? (Bandanas. Oakleys. Boxy chore jackets with no discernible weatherproofing.) Lee makes the case that creative directors discovering trail running might be the unified theory of everything. She also covers why race whimsy lets women show up sparkly and fast at the same time, why road runners are dressing like pros at 3:35 marathon pace, what happens when the internet finds a running vest with more frills than pockets, and how to have personal style without becoming a walking billboard. Also: long shorts populism.

This Farmers helping Farmers episode is coming to you from a regenerative rice farm in Southern Tuscany, Italy. Picture yourself there by listening out for the town bells, the birds and a tractor going past.Angus 'Gus' Ingram is travelling through Italy with his family, exploring all the things the country is renowned for - food, food, food. Not just any food, high quality, nutritious, regeneratively-grown food. In this episode Angus visits the farm of Ariane Lotti from Tenuta San Carlo. Ariane was recognised in 2024 as one of Europe's Top 50 farmers, an initiative started by Foodprint Nordic to recognise farmers who are working in harmony with nature, regenerating the land, restoring biodiversity, and building resilient ecosystems. Ariane Lotti spent summers on the farm with her family as a child, and since 2014 has been leading Tenuta San Carlo with a vision for certified organic agriculture with a regenerative approach. Under her leadership, the farm has become certified organic, expanded its crop diversity, restored natural ecosystems through reforestation, and launched a line of farm-branded products. A Yale graduate and former U.S. agriculture policy expert, she also has roles within Italian and European farming organisations.Ariane provides a valuable insight into the economic considerations of changing from a conventionally managed farming system to a regenerative one. This episode also highlights the incredible innovations that can happen when you look for opportunities within your farm business and follow through on your vision to grow healthier food. Ariane is honest, practical and thoughtful, giving a realistic view of the challenges along the way, and the things she would do differently. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we do. It once again highlights the power of 'farmers helping farmers', no matter where you are in the world.
For much of the past two decades, discussions of Latin American democracy have centred on decline — elected autocrats, weakened institutions, and a slide toward competitive authoritarianism. Building on joint work with Scott Mainwaring, Dr Bizzarro contends that the more common, and in some ways more troubling, pattern is not democratic collapse but stagnation. He argues that most of the region's democracies are neither dying nor deepening: they are stuck — hobbled by entrenched elites who block reform, governments that fail to deliver, and weak states that neither fully protect rights nor fully provide security. Dr Bizzarro examines what this stagnation costs: economically, in slower growth; politically, in eroding support for democratic institutions and the rise of anti-system outsiders; and internationally, in a region less able to anchor democratic norms abroad. This event examines why Latin American democracy's central problem may not be a single dramatic crisis, but a long, quiet plateau whose consequences deserve closer attention. Dr Bizzarro is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Boston College, and for the 2026-2027 academic year, a Visiting Professor at Yale University. A comparativist working on Latin America, his research explores the nature, causes, and consequences of democracy and political parties across the region. He completed his Ph.D. in Harvard University's Department of Government in 2023 and was previously a Postdoctoral Associate at Yale's Jackson School of International Affairs. His work has appeared in the Journal of Democracy, World Politics, and Electoral Studies, and he is co-authoring a book with Scott Mainwaring on democratic deepening in Latin America.
Watch our interview with LATTER-DAY CHAD https://youtube.com/live/uh0MtI4-KxEResearcher Justin Riggs joins us to examine the controversial claim surrounding former LDS Church President Russell M. Nelson and the Skull and Bones society. Nelson wrote in his autobiography From Heart to Heart that he was elected to a University of Utah organization called Skull and Bones—but what exactly did that mean, and how closely was that group connected to the famous Yale secret society?Justin has spent years researching LDS history, secret societies, fraternities, institutional networks and historical records connected to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this discussion, we'll look at Nelson's own words, university records, competing interpretations of the evidence and Justin's reasons for questioning whether Nelson's Skull and Bones affiliation is as straightforward as it first appears. Was the matter settled by Nelson's autobiography, or are there still unanswered questions?Justin Riggs on X:https://x.com/LDSAbuse#YouTube #RussellNelson #JustinRiggs #Podcast #LiveStream #LDS #SkullAndBones #MormonHistory #SecretSocieties #LDSChurchTo become a YouTube member of this channel: / @shaunattwoodofficial Shaun Attwood's social media:TikTok: / shaunattwood1 / shaunattwood Twitter: / shaunattwood Facebook: / shaunattwood1 Patreon: / shaunattwood #podcast #religion

Nancy Zimmerman is the co-founder and Managing Partner of Bracebridge Capital, a $13 billion alternative asset manager specializing in fixed income arbitrage that she founded over 30 years ago, in 1994, alongside Gabe Sunshine with capital from David Swensen at Yale. Our conversation traces Nancy's evolution from pricing securities to investing and the enduring sources of inefficiency in fixed income markets. We discuss the nature of arbitrage opportunities and their persistence over time and then turn to hunting for mispricings today across developed market rates, structured credit, corporates, and emerging markets. Along the way, we cover Bracebridge's process for sourcing ideas, assessing relative value, determining position sizes, constructing a portfolio, and managing risk. We close with building a team, aligning the organization and its clients, investing in today's exciting and unusual environment, and transferring investment knowledge to work on the investment committee and brain science research at Nancy's alma mater, Brown University. Nancy is among the sharpest, most curious, funny, and deeply experienced investors in the hedge fund world. Take our audience survey.

“ When I said I was gonna move out to San Francisco, he said, "Why are you doing this to me?"Our guest today is Nadia Bowers, whose new memoir Dear Dealer is about the loss of her older sister Sasha at age 44 in 2015 due to an accidental fentanyl overdose. The book includes a series of letters to the imagined drug dealer who dealt the fentanyl that took Sasha's life and beautifully captures the ways in which the family disease of addiction does not discriminate based on the educational backgrounds and good intentions of its members. Dear Dealer is a sister story about the specificity of the ways sisters shape each other (Nadia calls sisterhood “the batting cage of relationships”). Within this story of Sasha's loss and Nadia's quest to uncover who she was in life and how she died, is their father, the psychiatrist Malcolm Bowers, MD, who died of cancer aged 74 in 2008.Dr. Bowers began and ended his 45-year career at Yale. Since the 1960s, he initiated a series of groundbreaking studies on hallucinogenic drug exposure and the emergence of psychotic disorders. He published several books on the impact of mental illness on the lives of patients, including Retreat from Sanity, A Psychiatrist Recollects, Abetting Madness, and Men and Poisons, and was known to be a psychiatrist who transformed the lives of patients plagued by the most difficult mental health problems. He was a poet and avid fisherman. He was also a father who privately battled a crippling anxiety disorder that manifested in a kind of panicked watchfulness over his daughters, especially Sasha, whose Tourette's syndrome and secret life he may have felt partly responsible for. Sasha took after him in so many ways, also attending Yale to become a social worker, and staying near her hometown to serve the community there, while Nadia left home to become an actor against all paternal advice.In this interview, Elizabeth and I talk with Nadia about uncovering the tragic contradiction that her dad - an expert on drugs and the brain - couldn't “save” his daughter or love her into health; why the keys to uncovering the truth of how Sasha ended up dead in her purple car in the middle of a parking lot were tied to her father, and what Nadia teaches her son - who never knew them - about his grandfather and aunt. And in the end, she reads a little from the book, and a poem her father wrote.Dear Dealer is available now from Gallery Books and Simon & Schuster audio.

Clean-up is ongoing from this weekend's nor'easter. The latest in the saga involving a proposed settlement between Yale and the Trump administration. Several ICE arrests have been made at Tweed Airport over the last month. Plus, the race for New York governor kicks into high gear.
Maryville hockey coach John Hogan joins Joe Pott to discuss the program's move to NCAA Division I, its opening win, major rink upgrades and the challenging road schedule ahead, including matchups with St. Lawrence, Princeton, Yale, Quinnipiac and Alaska Fairbanks.
In this episode of Week In Review Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss a study examining political donations by Princeton faculty, debate ideological diversity on college campuses, analyze comments from academics and university leaders, and connect those trends to contemporary Democratic politics. They also review Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate campaign, his previous support for the uncommitted movement during the 2024 presidential cycle, Kamala Harris’s appearance on the campaign trail, and the broader political fight over DEI, progressive activism, and messaging ahead of the midterm elections. The episode concludes with a discussion of Texas Democrat James Talarico, his public image as a moderate Christian, and criticism of views expressed by leaders associated with his longtime church community. A new study on political donations at Princeton University found that none of its full-time faculty contributed to Republican candidates during the 2023 and 2024 election cycles. Ted Cruz argues the findings reflect a broader ideological shift within higher education and what he describes as the growing influence of university culture on today’s Democratic Party. The conversation expands beyond academia to the 2026 Michigan Senate race, where Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed welcomed former Vice President Kamala Harris to campaign with him. Cruz and Ben Ferguson examine El-Sayed’s past support for Michigan’s “uncommitted” movement, the political implications of Harris’s involvement, and ongoing debates surrounding DEI policies and progressive political messaging. Topics Covered: Princeton faculty political donation data and ideological diversity in higher education Commentary from Jonathan Turley on universities, free speech, and faculty hiring Yale, Harvard, and broader debates over political representation on college campuses Abdul El-Sayed, Kamala Harris, and Michigan’s 2026 Senate race The “uncommitted” movement and disagreements within Democratic coalition politics James Talarico, religion in politics, and controversy surrounding church leadership statements Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

What's really impacting the health of our children?
The United States is getting older, and so, increasingly, are the people charged with governing it.The average age of a U.S. senator is 64-years-old and in the House it's 58, according to 2025 numbers. Dozens of elected officials are in their 70s and 80s. Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump both turned 80 in office. As a result, Americans have seen questions about the age and capacity of their leaders become a central feature of the national conversation. What happens when the people at the top don't leave? And at what point does an aging society become a gerontocracy? Samuel Moyn is a political theorist and professor at Yale university. He's the author of several books, including 'Gerontocracy in America'. He's our guest today.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
Dr. Mark Hugo Lopez is Director of Race and Ethnicity Research at the Pew Research Center, where he coordinates the National Survey of Latinos. Both sides of his family worked the fields of Mexico during the Revolution before settling in California, where his father rose from meat packer to principal and his mother from bank teller to elite cosmetic sales director. A young Mark took notes on the evening news, a habit that sharpened his English. He chose Berkeley over Stanford and Yale, then went on to Princeton, where he nearly walked away in his first six weeks. He stayed, earned his Ph.D. in economics, and joined the University of Maryland faculty at twenty-eight. Today he is one of the country's most trusted voices on Latino public opinion. His newest work finds hope and doubt side by side: only one in five Latinos say they have fully achieved the American Dream, yet most say they already live better than their parents did.
What do you do when a bright, curious child looks up and says, "I'm just dumb"? In this deeply moving episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice sits down with Russell Van Brocklen — "The Dyslexia Professor," founder of Dyslexia Classes, and creator of The Writing Method — to talk about nurturing self-belief in dyslexic kids.Russell knows this struggle from the inside: severely dyslexic himself, he was told he'd never read at grade level, and today he reads at a graduate level. Drawing on Yale brain science and his own New York State Senate–funded research, he explains why traditional school teaches to a brain many dyslexic kids don't have, why accommodations give access but not skill, and how starting with a child's genuine interests can unlock reading and writing two or three grade levels above where they're stuck. Most importantly, he shows how rebuilding a child's skills rebuilds something even more precious — their belief in themselves. If you love a child who's been written off, this conversation is a lifeline.
Increasingly, it seems like the corporate names that dominate headlines are much more diverse than they used to be. Samsung, TSMC, and SK Hynix. Alibaba and Tencent; BYD and DeepSeek. Sea and Grab. For twenty-five years, it seems like every major technology was American . That assumption is now under strain as innovation spreads from one place to many. Mehran Gul tries to map out this new network in his book The New Geography of Innovation: The Global Contest for Breakthrough Technologies (Simon and Schuster, 2026). From China's startlingly messy AI ecosystem to Singapore's government-led innovation, from South Korea's decades-old conglomerates still at the frontier to India's world-class talent that too often works abroad; from Europe's struggle to hold on to its best companies, to the deeper role of the state everywhere—including in Silicon Valley—and why the United States, far from declining, is extending its lead into a genuinely bipolar technological order.Mehran is a winner of the Financial Times/McKinsey Bracken Bower Prize. He attended Yale where he was a Fulbright Scholar, Fox International Fellow, and Teaching Fellow. He has been a Lead for the Digital Transformation of Industries at the World Economic Forum and an expert on Higher Education, Entrepreneurship, and Industrial Policy at the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. Before Yale, he studied at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. He has been a visiting scholar at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi and a Fellow with the Acumen Fund.

From Lab to Startup: How Technology Is Changing the Future of Healthcare With Chris Yoo of Xcellerant Ventures AZ TRT S07 EP16 (298) 9-20/2027 What We Learned This Week A Startup Is More Than an Idea A great idea is only the starting point. Investors also look at the founder, team, execution, market, technology and ability to adapt. Idea → Team → Execution → Business New Jetstream Fund for the average Investor. Venture Capital Is About De-Risking Early-stage investing isn't about eliminating uncertainty. It's about progressively reducing it. Research creates information. Information creates validation. Validation reduces risk. Technology Is Compressing the Timeline of Healthcare Innovation Genomics, sequencing, AI and computing are allowing researchers to perform certain processes dramatically faster and cheaper than in the past. That creates opportunities to move discoveries from the laboratory toward actual medical applications. Arizona Has a Growing Technology-to-Enterprise Pipeline Arizona's technology ecosystem isn't just startups. It includes: Universities → Research → IP → Entrepreneurs → Capital → Companies → Commercialization The universities and research institutions are important pieces of that pipeline. The Next Healthcare Revolution May Come From Data The conversation around genomics, eye scans, AI and precision medicine points toward a broader change: The human body is becoming a source of increasingly usable data. The opportunity is to turn that data into better diagnosis, more personalized treatment and potentially earlier prevention. AZ Tech Show Notes — Chris Yoo, Xcellerant Ventures September 2026 Guest: Chris Yoo, PhD Organization: Xcellerant Ventures Website: https://www.xcellerantventures.com/ Jetstream Fund: https://www.jvf.vc/ WHY VENTURE CAPITAL?

With a PhD in cell biology from Yale, Chris has spent much of his career thinking about fundamental questions in medicine: Why do people get diseases? How can we diagnose them? And how can we develop better treatments? Today, through Xcellerant Ventures and the Jetstream Fund, he works with founders developing technologies in healthcare, life sciences, biotech and other emerging technology sectors. A major theme throughout the conversation was de-risking — taking something that is unknown and making it less unknown through research, data, testing, execution and commercialization. Segment 1 — What Makes a Startup Investable? Startup ≠ Just a Great Idea A startup begins with an idea, but venture investors aren't simply investing in ideas. They are evaluating: The founder The team The market The technology The ability to execute The company's strategy The company's ability to adapt Chris emphasized the importance of the founder/funder relationship. The founder may have the original vision, but the company will evolve considerably as it moves from an idea toward a real business. Founder vs. Idea Chris is less concerned about whether a company has: One founder, or A founding team What matters is whether the people involved have clearly defined roles and responsibilities and whether those roles fit their individual strengths. A startup eventually needs expertise in areas such as: Engineering Sales Marketing Operations Product development Finance Those needs change as the company grows. The Founder's Dilemma One of the challenges for founders is recognizing that the company changes as it grows. The person who is perfect for getting a company from zero to one may not necessarily be the person who should manage every function when the company becomes much larger. The company needs to evolve. Different Stages Require Different Capital Chris discussed the distinction between different stages of startup funding. For example: Pre-seed → Seed → Early Growth → Later Stage And there is an important distinction between: Pre-revenue and pre-seed. A company can be extremely early while still having different levels of valuation, technology development and market evidence. De-Risking One of the most important venture capital concepts from the conversation: De-risking means making unknowns less unknown. Investors don't expect every question to be answered at the beginning. Instead, they want to see progress: Unknown → Research → Data → Validation → Commercialization Each stage provides more information and reduces uncertainty. Segment 2 — From Cell Biology to Technology Chris's background starts in healthcare and life sciences. He earned his PhD in Cell Biology from Yale, studying fundamental questions around disease: Why do diseases happen? How can they be diagnosed? How can they be treated? That scientific background influences how he approaches startups today. Think Critically About Problems A recurring theme was the importance of thinking critically about the actual problem before jumping to the solution. Technology creates new possibilities, but the technology still has to solve a meaningful problem. Technology Has Accelerated Healthcare The growth of computing, data, genomics and sequencing has dramatically accelerated life-science research. Processes that once took: Months Millions of dollars $ Large teams can now sometimes be completed in: Days At dramatically lower costs With significantly more data Genomic sequencing is one example. The cost and speed of sequencing have changed dramatically over the past several decades. Technology + Life Sciences Chris sees enormous potential where technology intersects with biology. Examples include: Genomics Gene sequencing Artificial intelligence Cell therapies Data analysis Precision medicine Drug development The goal isn't technology for technology's sake. The goal is ultimately to translate technology into medicine. From General Treatment to Personalized Treatment One of the biggest possibilities is moving toward treatments that are increasingly tailored to the individual patient. Instead of simply asking: "What drug treats this disease?" the question becomes: "What treatment is most appropriate for this particular patient?" That shift could fundamentally change medicine. Segment 3 — Arizona's Technology & Life Sciences Ecosystem Xcellerant Ventures focuses heavily on Arizona companies, particularly in: Healthcare Life sciences Biotechnology Technology Military/defense applications Dual-use technologies The Xcellerant team brings multiple areas of expertise to the table. Chris has the scientific background, while partners bring expertise in areas such as medicine and intellectual property. More Than Just Money A venture investor can provide founders with more than capital. They can bring: Industry knowledge Scientific expertise Operating experience Networks Business models Strategic guidance Commercialization expertise The objective is to help founders move from technology to enterprise. Arizona's Ecosystem Chris emphasized that Arizona has a much larger technology and life-sciences ecosystem than many people realize. Universities and research institutions play an important role. Organizations and institutions mentioned during the conversation included: Arizona State University University of Arizona ASU's medical programs Grand Canyon University University technology commercialization programs UA Tech Launch GC Ventures The Flinn Foundation Universities serve as important sources of: Research → Innovation → Intellectual Property → Companies An Example: Eye Technology Chris discussed Mu Medical, a Minnesota company developing a highly precise eye-drop delivery device called the NanoDropper. The company is led by a medical doctor, Elisa Song, and has a small founding team. Website: https://www.mumedical.com/ The broader opportunity involves oculomics — using information from the eye to learn more about a person's overall health. The eye can potentially provide biological information that extends well beyond traditional eye diseases. Segment 4 — The Eye as a Window Into Health One of the most interesting concepts discussed was the growing ability to use eye scans and imaging data to identify patterns associated with broader health conditions. Think about the progression: Eye image → Data → Pattern recognition → AI → Diagnosis/Prediction → Treatment/Prevention The opportunity goes beyond traditional eye conditions such as glaucoma. Chris compared the growing understanding of eye health with what we've learned about: Dental health Sleep Heart health Overall wellness The larger idea is that different parts of the body can provide data about the health of the entire system. Genomics and Oculomics Genomics looks at information contained in our genes. Oculomics looks at information contained in the eye. Both represent a broader movement toward using biological data to better understand individual health. Jetstream Fund — Opening Early-Stage Investing Chris also discussed the Jetstream Fund, which is designed to give investors access to early-stage technology investing with smaller investment amounts. Traditional venture capital funds generally have: General Partners (GPs) who manage the fund and Limited Partners (LPs) who provide capital. The Jetstream approach allows investors to participate with smaller checks, potentially around $5,000–$25,000, rather than requiring the much larger commitments often associated with traditional venture capital. The concept is to bring more investors into the early-stage technology ecosystem. The broader investment thesis involves finding technology that has already demonstrated meaningful development and helping companies commercialize that technology.

Megan Ranney, Dean of the Yale School of Public Health for the past three years plus, reflects on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. And what she has learned and the innovations she has spearheaded leading Yale in an uncertain, highly volatile moment. "The slow destruction of trust is perhaps the greatest challenge." We will not see any change so long as "we haven't done anything about it."

50 Shades of Green returns with host Adam Lake on how we talk about climate when the science is complex and the politics are noisy. Guests: Bernadette Woods-Placky of the Talking Climate Collaborative; Hannah Safford of the Federation of American Scientists; and Emma Stewart of Climate Spring.Bernadette, a meteorologist who spent years at Climate Central with TV weathercasters, treats weather as a shared language. Storms ignore party lines. Heat and extremes already reshape daily life. Her US-Canada landscape assessment maps who talks to whom and where the barriers sit. Rules: know your audience, meet people where they are, connect on shared values, simplify without dumbing down, tell stories, and assume most people care. Focus on the 90 percent, not the shouting 10 percent of Yale's Six Americas.Hannah works where science meets policy. Evidence matters, but so does lived experience. She cares less whether a title says climate or affordability than about substance: what people feel day to day, why, and what they can do. Stories must fit the listener—solar in Arizona, wind in New England. Briefs and social posts look different; both are science-grounded storytelling.Emma, a scientist and former Netflix sustainability chief, calls herself a reformed scold. Emotion is not the enemy of data. Film, TV, sport and games are what people discuss at the table. About 90 percent of audiences want climate action on screen, yet almost none of it appears. Climate Spring funds writers to close that gap with stories of justice, journey and world-building, not dystopia. Hearts open first; brains follow.You need not hide the word climate. Start from people's lives. Trust in institutions has fallen; connection to trusted people has not. Weave science into culture so complicated subjects become human ones. A practical masterclass in communication from three people who do it for a living. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joining us this episode is Jeff Walker, Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy and M&A at BraunAbility — a company that builds wheelchair-accessible vehicles, founded fifty-five years ago in an Indiana garage by Ralph Braun and now owned by the Swedish patient-capital investor Investor AB through its Patricia Industries arm. Educated at Yale and Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business, where he studied under the legendary endowment investor David Swensen, Jeff sees strategy through three lenses: the historian's pattern recognition, the economist's sense of cost versus value, and a parent's. In this conversation, we explore a deceptively simple question every strategy leader should be able to answer: what is the strategy office actually for, and how do you know it's adding value rather than quietly taxing the business it serves?Things we will cover:- Why "the center" is best understood not as a group of smarter people who second-guess the business, but as a decision boundary — the place where enterprise-wide choices naturally belongThe two tests for what truly belongs at the center: scale (cross-business leverage) and duration (the length of the strategic bet)- The "two seams" framework — a stated priority with no resources behind it, and a shadow project with no bets behind itJeff's sharpest warning: never mistake curiosity for value-creating results, and the passive-investing philosophy underneath it- Why every question you pose to the business is a tax that had better be driving alpha before you ask it- His make-versus-buy default for strategy work, and why he runs the center as a team of oneThe strategist as a parent — someone who sets things up, teaches, and gets out of the way, rather than the invisible hand behind the curtainFrom David Swensen's table to the M&A seat, Jeff offers an unusually honest set of tools for pressure-testing your own role. Before you ask the business your next recurring question, can you name the choice it might change — and why that change is worth the organization's time? For any strategy leader, it's a bracing invitation to earn your place at the center.Additional Resources:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreycwalker/BraunAbility: https://www.braunability.comLearn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinker.com/Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networksThank you to our guest Jeff Walker for such a thoughtful and honest conversation.Learn more about Outthinker's community of chief strategy officers - https://outthinker.com/Follow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/outthinker-networks

1917 YALE ATHLETES MILITARY TRAININGRestoring Public Trust In UniversitiesPeter Berkowitz examines major university studies investigating why public confidence in American higher education has declined. He highlights political imbalances among humanities and social science faculties—such as Yale's 36-to-1 ratio of Democrats to Republicans—and criticizes professors who substitute political activism for liberal education. Berkowitz points to rising costs, admissions inequities, and a compromised intellectual environment as key drivers of public distrust, advocating for a mandatory core curriculum focused on American political institutions and Western civilization.

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we first discuss funnel-web spiders, who are among the most venomous spiders on Earth. Maybe somewhat paradoxically, their toxins are being studied to treat human disease and chronic pain. Then we talk with historian Claire Aubin about J. Willard Gibbs' grave at Yale, where she's a professor. Gibbs was a quiet scientific genius whose work transformed chemistry. He was also seemingly a very cool dude, and today his gravesite is decorated by students seeking good luck before exams.

P.M. Edition for Sept. 22. Speaking to a room of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly today, President Trump tallied his foreign policy wins while presenting the possibility of further military action in Iran and elsewhere. WSJ national security reporter Alex Ward discusses how the speech went over and the outcomes from some of Trump's closed-door meetings. Plus, a Republican senator has called for an investigation into Donald Trump Jr. after the president's oldest son disclosed that a Russian oligarch had paid for his wedding afterparty. And venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, along with some of the other biggest names in tech, are backing a new school intended to be an alternative to college. We hear from Journal tech reporter Katie Bindley about what kind of curriculum the school will offer, what kinds of students it wants to attract and what skeptics are saying. Alex Ossola hosts.

Aidan Grogan is a researcher at the Manhattan Institute. He went undercover at Socialism 2026 — the annual conference sponsored by Haymarket Books, held in Chicago over Labor Day weekend — and sat in on panels that weren't being livestreamed to see what they were saying behind closed doors. In some cases, they were saying considerably more radical things than what made it onto the stream.We talked about: how he got in (registered as Aidan G. with a burner email, wore Marxist pins, didn't iron his shirt, gave up on the disguise by day four); masks required at all times, COVID still surging, it felt like 2020 all over again; the family abolition session — two Yale-affiliated researchers sitting in a circle with Crayola markers on the table, advocating to dismantle the family as an oppressive capitalist institution; Sophie Lewis, Oxford graduate, family abolitionist, currently married; the audience describing the "most culturally celebrated family" as white people, private property, and heteronormativity; the fat genocide panel and the presenter who was herself relatively fit; Sophie Lewis denying any biological basis to sex; the mismatch between revolutionary rhetoric and people with too much anxiety to fire a gun; the old macho Marxists vs. today's conference-goers; Bill Ayers and the career path of a left-wing terrorist (hint: it ends in a tenured professorship); Robert Nisbet's The Quest for Community and why radical politics is a substitute religion for the socially alienated; and the DSA platform calling for abolishing the Senate, the Electoral College, and the checks and balances of the American constitutional order.Read Aidan's coverage → City Journal: cityjournal.orgFollow Aidan → Manhattan Institute: manhattan-institute.orgTIMESTAMPS:0:00 — Intro — Aidan Grogan, Manhattan Institute and City Journal0:43 — What is Socialism 2026?

A dream cross-country bike trip. A deserted campground. And a stranger who arrived in the darkness with an axe.In 1977, Yale students Terri Jentz and Avra Goldman were cycling across America when their journey took a horrifying turn at Cline Falls State Park. In the middle of the night, a pickup truck crashed through their tent, leaving both women gravely injured, then he attacked with an ax before he vanished into the darkness. Years later, Terri returned to Oregon and began investigating the case herself, uncovering lost evidence, forgotten suspects, and questions that still have no definitive answer. This is the Cline Falls Axe Attack, a chilling unsolved mystery and a story of survival, trauma, and one woman's relentless search for answers.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers explores true crime, queer history, and forgotten stories with a queer perspective.

Teaching Nutrition to Doctors: Dr. Nate Wood, MD, inaugural director of Culinary Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, discusses the persistent lack of nutrition education in medical training. Wood defines culinary medicine as combining nutrition science, medicine, education, and culinary skills to help patients and trainees cook health-promoting food. He reviews diet's broad impact on chronic disease (cardiometabolic disease, dementia, cancer, mental health, MS), challenges in nutrition research, and Yale's approach emphasizing plant-forward, minimally processed foods while addressing controversies. Barriers to adoption include crowded curricula, lack of trained faculty, unclear competencies, and limited exam coverage, though nutrition is being added to Step exams. Wood describes free patient classes, community outreach, research showing culinary training boosts counseling confidence, GLP-1s as complementary to lifestyle change, and his upcoming book, “Food Figured Out,” due in 2027.
Credentials used to be enough. Rachel Kleinfeld and Renée DiResta on what earns trust now.Rachel Kleinfeld of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Renée DiResta of Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy join Corey to talk about their new paper, "How to Engage With New Media: A Strategic Guide for Nonprofit Organizations," co-authored with Margot Treadwell. The conversation moves from an institution caught flat-footed when a researcher becomes a target, to why a big following no longer guarantees reach, to how hard disagreements go better when nobody fears being screenshotted.Calls to Action✅ Leave a rating and review: lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion✅ Subscribe on Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com✅ Watch and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion✅ Share this episode with someone who still thinks red versus blue explains anythingKey takeawaysKleinfeld says academic credentials and a nice institutional home no longer confer legitimacy. Authenticity and trust do, and they come from building a community that listens.The paper cites Meta data showing 41% of posts on the average Facebook feed come from recommended content unconnected to people the user follows. DiResta explains why that means a large following no longer guarantees reach.The paper's four questions come before any posting: who the audience is, what the mission is, which gatekeepers shape the field, and how to create content. Kleinfeld says audiences should be sorted by values and worldview, not demographics.DiResta finds hard conversations work best in private group chats where no one fears being screenshotted.

Dr. Shenkin on Humanistic Pediatrics, Health Policy, and Fixing Incentives in U.S. HealthcareOn The Pediatric Lounge, the hosts interview Dr. Shenkin, a Harvard-trained pediatrician, physician leader, and health policy expert who founded Bayside Medical Group in Oakland and grew it to a 35-physician, 10-office organization later sold to Stanford/Children's Hospital. He describes choosing pediatrics as “falling in love,” shaped by a neurosurgeon father, and recounts work in the Public Health Service during the Vietnam era, including leading and reshaping migrant health into early regional rural health centers and studying health systems and policy in Stockholm and Yale. The conversation critiques U.S. insurance, fee-for-service/RBRVS, RVUs, networks, PBMs, and administrative waste, arguing costs stem from high prices and bureaucracy, not patient overuse. They emphasize restoring humanistic care—patients feeling “cared for and cared about”—through values, systems, mentorship, and better measurement, while criticizing hierarchical training, Epic-driven box-checking, and misaligned incentives that prioritize revenue over care.00:00 Welcome to the Lounge00:30 Meet Dr. Bud Shenkin01:18 Why Pediatrics Chose Him01:34 Family Roots in Medicine05:13 Policy Path and Vietnam Era06:48 Training Abroad and Independence07:47 Great Profession, Bad Job09:40 Residency Mentors and Customer Service12:06 Why He Rejected Academia13:32 Insurance and Fee-for-Service Critique15:02 Catastrophic Coverage Debate17:15 Humanistic Care Without Money Anxiety18:58 Where Healthcare Overspends20:15 Hospital Pricing and System Power21:27 PBMs and Pharma Incentives24:45 Leading While Still Seeing Patients26:17 Hospitality Lessons for Healthcare29:07 Systems Thinking and Safety Design31:33 Building Humanistic Relationships32:49 Name Tags and Respect33:58 Selling to Big Systems36:27 Training and Hierarchy37:41 Epic and Box Checking38:14 Humanistic Exam Room40:27 Mentorship and Great Practices43:46 Networks vs Fiduciary Duty44:55 Falling in Love with Pediatrics48:36 Paying for Humanistic Care53:06 Trust, Dissent, and Leadership54:34 Becoming a Great Clinician01:00:08 Keeping Idealism Alive01:01:08 Closing and CreditsSupport the show
Peter M. Hoffman talks with Mike about Karmic Winds: Reflections from the "Smartest Guy in Hollywood", his memoir written largely in pencil during an eight-month prison sentence for a tax-credit case a federal judge had already ruled legal. Hoffman traces his path from Yale tax law into the movie business, tax-engineering Superman for Alex Salkind, working with manager Albert Grossman, and untangling Dolly Parton's publishing split from Porter Wagoner so she could reclaim her catalog outright.They dig into Carolco, the independent studio Hoffman built with Mario Kassar and Andy Vajna, from the capital-gains maneuver that got Marlon Brando paid on Superman to landing Terminator 2 and Basic Instinct as back-to-back worldwide number-one grossers. Hoffman talks Verhoeven's instincts on Basic Instinct's ending, the collapsed Crusades project, buying Joe Eszterhas's script amid protest, and favorites like The Believer, Stander, and Jacob's Ladder.Karmic Winds is out now; Hoffman's next project adapts The Master and Margarita.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

After actor, dialect coach, and teacher Amanda Quaid was diagnosed with a serious illness in 2021, she responded by trying something new — she wrote poetry. She says, “I was looking for an art form that allowed me to be with uncertainty in a beautiful way.” The result is a captivating memoir-in-poetry, No Obvious Distress, that uses words and phrases from her medical charts to create verse that rings with laughter, tears, and truth. In this conversation recorded at New York City's Morgan Library & Museum, Amanda reads from her book, and she and Pádraig Ó Tuama talk about the three principles that guided her through illness, her parenting a young child through this time, and her work with medical students, actors, and CEOs. We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes. Amanda Quaid was raised in New York City, where she works as a dialect coach. She also teaches at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale. After working in theatre for most of her life, Amanda began writing poetry as a way to work creatively with illness. Her debut collection, No Obvious Distress, is out now with John Murray Press and was named Memoir of the Month and one of the best books of 2025 by the British newspaper The Independent.

Back in 1832, a secret society was born on the Yale campus called Skull and Bones. Over the centuries, this fraternal order was said to have a hand in everything from the Manhattan Project to sparking WWII. And since major political players and successful businessmen have been bred from this organization – even today people wonder, how much global influence does the Skull and Bones actually have?Listen to CONSPIRACY: The Illuminati here, or wherever you listen to podcasts!For a full list of sources, please visit: https://sosupernaturalpodcast.com/revisiting-skull-and-bones/ Did you know you can listen to So Supernatural ad-free?
