Bad Faith - Episode 507 Promo – A Governor to Support Zohran’s Agenda? (w/ Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

New York Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado has been sidelined by Gov. Kathy Hochul ever since he announced that he would not be running for reelection -- raising suspicions that he would instead run for Governor. Now that he's declared his challenge to Hochul, he's ready to explain why he would be a better partner for a Mayor Zohran Mamdani, where he falls on the political spectrum, why he called for both Biden and Eric Adams to step down, and why he declined to identify as a progressive despite endorsing a progressive agenda. There's no candidate interview like a Bad Faith candidate interview.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Six Degrees of Separation

You may have noticed, on occasion, that friends you have from totally different parts of your life sometimes know each other. 

It often comes as a surprise, but it actually shouldn’t. It turns out that the world is highly connected via personal relationships. 

In fact, it has been suggested that any two people in the world are only six degrees apart from each other via friends of friends of a friend.

In some special cases, this can actually be measured and can even make for a fun game. 

Learn more about the Six Degrees of Separation theory and its connection to Kevin Bacon on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Tamara Yajia’s memoir recounts a chaotic upbringing between the U.S. and Argentina

Tamara Yajia’s memoir Cry for Me, Argentina describes a chaotic upbringing between Argentine and American cultures. A big focus of the memoir is her “insane” family, who exposed Yajia to a high level of sexual openness, including group excursions to Buenos Aires’ red-light district. In today’s episode, the writer speaks with NPR’s Ailsa Chang about her mixed experience as a childhood performer, a formative moment involving Madonna’s “Like a Prayer,” and the way humor has “kept [her] alive.”
