The Daily Signal - Ep. 295: The Next Revolution’s Steve Hilton on ‘Positive Populism’

America experienced the latest wave of populism with the election of Donald Trump in November 2016. Since then, people across the country have been trying define populism, how the Trump presidency embodies it, and what it means for our nation. Steve Hilton, host of Fox News' "The Next Revolution," joins The Daily Signal to discuss his new book, "Positive Populism: Revolutionary Ideas to Rebuild Economic Security, Family, and Community in America."We also cover these stories:* Senate Democrats delay a vote on Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court.* Sources indicate the president may impose sanctions on foreign agencies or persons caught interfering in U.S. elections.* Former Secretary of State John Kerry admits to having met several times in recent months with top Iranian officials to try to salvage the Iran nuclear deal. The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.

Curious City - Daley vs. Little Italy: Did The Mayor Drop UIC On The Neighborhood Out Of Spite?

Why did Richard J. Daley push for the UIC campus to rise from the heart of a long-standing ethnic neighborhood? In this special Curious City presentation, reporter Monica Eng examines the pervasive suspicion that the mayor’s choice rose from a political spat or — even worse — from disdain for the Italian-American community. Click here for the full story.

The Allusionist - 84. Trammels

Why would you write books or poems or plays with only one vowel? Or in palindromes? Or only using the example sentences in dictionaries? Sometimes you need to force yourself to jump a few hurdles (and perhaps the rest of the obstacle course) before your creativity will be unleashed.

The Gist - If You Want Power, Sell It

On The Gist, Lincoln, Kennedy, and Lincoln Kennedy could all speak better than President Trump.

If you’re old enough to remember November 2016, you know that telling a good story—even an untrue one—wins elections. Author Yuval Noah Harari worries that populism has liberalism beat on this front, especially given an uncertain future looming with AI, biotechnology, and the possible obsolescence of the human worker. Harari’s new book is 21 Lessons for the 21st Century.

In the Spiel, a lawmaker’s voting record is the only thing we should judge them on.

CrowdScience - Why Do Drivers Zone Out?

Have you ever been out driving and noticed your mind… wandering? CrowdScience listener Sian Gardiner has. When travelling to visit her parents she has to cross a very large, very obvious bridge. But there are times when she finds herself on the other side with no memory of having gone over it. How is that even possible? Presenter Geoff Marsh buckles up to find out. He travels through the science of how driving becomes second nature, brakes sharply when he realises he’s not necessarily in conscious control at 70mph, and tries to refocus when he discovers why drivers don’t always see things that are staring them in the face. He also asks what’s happening when our mind drifts away from the road, and what can be done to help drivers pay more attention and reduce accidents.
