Brought to you by... - 47: Drinking Buddies: Jack Daniel and Nearest Green

Jack Daniel’s is the top-selling whiskey in the world. For more than 150 years, it’s been made using time-honored methods that go back to when Jack Daniel made the whiskey himself. (Yes, he was a real person.) But who taught “Mr. Jack” how to make that whiskey? Nearest Green, a formerly enslaved man. Unlike Jack Daniel, though, most people don’t know his name, so one woman has made it her mission to tell the world his story one sip at a time.

Philosophers In Space - 0G99: WWZ and Lifeboat Ethics, Part 1

Moving with the kind of speed you'd have hoped to see in our federal government, we have pivoted away from our Culture coverage (don't worry it's just bumped down the timeline a bit) to current events with Max Brooks's epic masterpiece World War Z. Easily one of the best works of horror fiction around. For part one, we talk through the consequentialist arguments in the first half, while marveling at all the disturbing similarities to the daily news. Part two is gonna cover the loss of humanity side of the book, so buckle up.

In the spiel, the virus doesn’t care but America still does.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Exit Plans, Premature Rallies and Frontline Heroes, Feat. Ben Hunt

Epsilon Theory’s Ben Hunt joins for a follow up to our pre-lockdown Covid-19 conversation in early March. In the month since, the markets finally started to take Covid-19 seriously, elected officials stopped calling it just the flu, and big chunks of the world economy shut down. 

Now, as markets rally on early evidence the curve may be flattening, the question is: is this premature? 

In this episode, Ben & NLW discuss:

  • How the markets have moved from “denial” to “bargaining” 
  • Why this rally has all the hallmarks of a type of bear market rally we’ve seen over the last month
  • Why the predictability of corporate bailouts doesn’t make them any less detestable
  • Why we should be buoyed by an explosion of ground-up, grassroots citizen action
  • How Frontline Heroes is creating a p2p PPE purchasing network that gets essential gear into the hands of health professionals without causing additional price pressure for state-led negotiations
