CoinDesk Podcast Network - CARPE CONSENSUS: SBF’s Testimony Demonstrated He Was (at the Very Least) a Bad CEO

When SBF decided to take the stand, reporters flocked to the courthouse to try and get a spot in the room itself to watch the former FTX CEO recount his version of events. Turns out Sam didn't remember much of what happened at FTX.

On “Carpe Consensus,” hosts Ben Schiller and Danny Nelson center the episode on, arguably, the crypto news event of the year: the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried.

  • [0:53] Inside the Desk: For weeks, Danny's been predicting that SBF would choose to take the stand – either for his ego, or as a last-resort attempt to sway the jury. Danny recaps SBF's direct and cross examination.
  • [12:10] Danny chats with David Z. Morris outside the courthouse.

“Carpe Consensus” is executive produced by Jared Schwartz and produced and edited by Eleanor Pahl.

NBN Book of the Day - Wendy H. Wong, “We, the Data: Human Rights in the Digital Age” (MIT Press, 2023)

Our data-intensive world is here to stay, but does that come at the cost of our humanity in terms of autonomy, community, dignity, and equality? In We, the Data: Human Rights in the Digital Age (MIT Press, 2023), Wendy H. Wong argues that we cannot allow that to happen. Exploring the pervasiveness of data collection and tracking, Wong reminds us that we are all stakeholders in this digital world, who are currently being left out of the most pressing conversations around technology, ethics, and policy. This book clarifies the nature of datafication and calls for an extension of human rights to recognize how data complicate what it means to safeguard and encourage human potential.

Wendy H. Wong is Professor of Political Science and Principal's Research Chair at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan. She is the author of two award-winning books: Internal Affairs: How the Structure of NGOs Transforms Human Rights and (with Sarah S. Stroup) The Authority Trap: Strategic Choices of International NGOs.

Lamis Abdelaaty is an associate professor of political science at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University. She is the author of Discrimination and Delegation: Explaining State Responses to Refugees (Oxford University Press, 2021). Email her comments at labdelaa@syr.edu

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Hanseatic League (Encore)

One of the most successful enterprises of the Middle Ages was a collection of free cities located in Northern Germany and along the North and Baltic Seas. 

These cities created one of the greatest trade networks that the world had ever seen and, for several centuries, dominated trade and economics in Northern Europe.

It was the early prototype for successful trade organizations in the future. 

Learn more about the Hanseatic League, also known as the Hansa, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Serious Inquiries Only - SIO398: Hot Women In Your Area

We're borrowing this brilliant title from a panel at QED, and while we're at it, we're also borrowing one of the panelists, Nicola Throp, to cover all things Menopause - what it is, why we need to talk about it, and the barriers that women face in not just its treatment, but the recognition of what is happening to them and diagnosis from their providers. This is a significant life event that half of the world will experience, and women have historically kept it to themselves. It's well beyond the time to break this taboo.

Some fantastic resources that Nicola shared: British Menopause Society; Menopause Support UK; The Menopause Charity; Black Menopause & Beyond Podcast (with Anita Powell); The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
