The Best One Yet - 🍹 “The drink of the summer” — BeatBox’s summer surge. Cars’ anti-speeding feature. Nvidia’s 288-pound superchip.

What will be the drink of the summer? We predict it will be BeatBox’s boxed punch wine — And we used 3 trendspotting strategies to make the forecast.

What if your car honked at you every time you drove over 80mph? A new California law may make that happen — Drivers are surprised, but we think it’ll be standard soon… in every car in America.

And Nvidia’s blockbuster earnings report was fueled by sales of their AI superchip — But this ain’t no computer chip, it’s a 288-pound, $40K computing mothership.

Plus, the new trend is “Quiet Vacationing”: When you take vacation on a workday, but you didn’t tell your manager (and today is the ultimate Quiet Vacation Day).


P.S. Tomorrow we’re whipping up a special show for you before Memorial Day Weekend: TBOY Hotline #2 — Our monthly call-in show where we answer your questions on life, work, investing, and do some startup co-founder match-making. Oh, and we’ll deal with the “BerryGate” controversy.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The SalviSoul Cookbook’ celebrates Salvadoran food and the matriarchs who cook it

Years ago, Karla Tatiana Vasquez tried to search up a recipe for one of her favorite Salvadoran dishes, Salpicón Salvadoreño. The scarce results not only disappointed Vasquez, but created a new mission: to collect and preserve the recipes of the Salvadoran diaspora along with the stories of the women who've been passing them down for generations. In today's episode, NPR's A Martinez visits Vasquez's kitchen to discuss The SalviSoul Cookbook and the relationship between food, migration and trauma.

Planet Money - Anatomy of a layoff

By one estimate, 40 percent of American workers get laid off at least once in their careers. And when that happens, companies will often say, "It's not personal. It has nothing to do with you or your performance. We're just changing priorities, making a strategic shift."

It's like the business version of: "It's not you, it's me." And just like a breakup, it feels terrible.

This happened to a man we're calling V, who was working at the same company as his husband when he got laid off. And for V, the experience felt shocking. It left him and his husband with a lot of unresolved questions.

On today's show, the story of that layoff. And we help that couple get some answers by taking their questions to an HR expert who gives the low-down on lay-offs.

This story is adapted from a 3-part series on layoffs produced by Yowei Shaw for her show, Proxy. The layoff series was edited by John DeLore with research and reporting help from Kim Nederveen Pieterse. You can listen to the full layoff series from Proxy wherever you get your podcasts, and you can support the show and find out more by going to patreon.com/proxypodcast. And you can check out her original song "Gold Star" on Spotify and YouTube.
