Consider This from NPR - New York Reopening; Hindsight On Sweden’s Lack of Lockdown

After a nearly three-month lockdown and over 20,000 coronavirus-related deaths, New York City is taking its first steps to reopen parts of its economy amid protests over police brutality.

The coronavirus is surviving the heat and humidity despite initial hopes it would not last through the summer. Experts now think the coronavirus will be here for years to come.

Sweden's government implemented limited restrictions in an attempt to protect the country's economy during the pandemic. Now, they're seeing mixed results.

And for the first time in months, the massive Vatican Museums are open.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Why War Reporting Is the Right Mental Model for Today’s Media, Feat. Jake Hanrahan

The founder of Popular Front joins NLW for a discussion about protests, media and how the people being covered tend to not reflect divisive politics.

This episode is sponsored by Bitstamp and Ciphertrace.

On today’s episode of The Breakdown, we introduce the Breakdown Brief - a look at three key topics in bitcoin and crypto. Today, the Brief covers:

  • Brave browsers auto adding ref links to Binance.us 
  • The disconnect between Wall Street and crypto when it comes to inflation expectations
  • A 2018 Pentagon war game including bitcoin 


Our featured interview is with Jake Hanrahan, founder of Popular Front - a podcast and independent media company covering underreported and irregular conflict with “no frills, no elitism.” Jake was previously an embedded reporter with Vice and has covered conflict in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Ukraine and elsewhere. 

In this conversation, Jake and NLW discuss:

  • Why Jake left Vice and decided to build an independent journalism project
  • Why the mainstream media isn’t bad because of some political conspiracy, but because its business model doesn’t allow it to understand how real people are experiencing issues 
  • How the protests are being (mis)covered around the world
  • Why American protests are going global
  • What he learned covering protests in Hong Kong last year 
  • What situations people should be paying attention to around the world that they’re not right now

The Intelligence from The Economist - Say his name, and others’: American protests spread globally

Far beyond America’s shores demonstrators are calling for justice in their own countries. It’s an awkward time for America’s allies, and a fortuitous one for its rivals. Labour-market swings during recessions are normally a measure of male employees’ moves—but not this time. And why the video-games industry is raiding its own back catalogue.
