Sheera Frenkel is a New York Times reporter and author of the best-selling book, An Ugly Truth. She joins Big Technology Podcast to discuss her hit book and her reporting process. We address critics's claims that Facebook reporters are harsh to the company because they’re mad Trump won, and they’re also upset that social media is eroding their gatekeeping power. Frenkel listens to these critiques and shares her perspective.
Singer, songwriter, and producer James Mercer of The Shins wrote “New Slang” when he was living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It came out as a single and then he re-recorded it for The Shins’ debut album Oh, Inverted World, which came out 20 years ago, in 2001. After Garden State came out, featuring the song "New Slang," that album went gold. And the soundtrack for the movie won a Grammy. Nowadays, James Mercer lives in Portland. I spoke to him from his home studio, and he told me how The Shins actually first started as a recording project, a side project, while he was in another band called Flake Music. In this episode, James breaks down "New Slang" and looks back at how his songwriting and his early home recording skills came together to make this iconic song.

While the explanations may vary from NFT excitement to regulatory FUD diminishing, crypto markets agree that good times are here again.

On this episode of “The Breakdown,” NLW covers bull market indicators, including:
Both NYDIG and Arca released reports detailing their perceptions of positive market signals towards a bull run. Signs included Grayscale GBTC unlocks, institutional interest and risk appetite.
The NFT bubble has not burst. Capital continues to flow into the space and digital art collections like Crypto Punks have shot up in value, exceeding even the previous March highs.
Crypto seems to be rolling over FUD: Tether’s additional backing clarity and BitMEX’s nine-figure settlement helped to ease uncertainties in markets over regulations. China’s crypto crackdown and the subsequent Great Hashrate Migration caused little impact. Even the Poly Network’s $600 million hack this week made no dent to prices.
Is Bitcoin’s “defiance rally” part of a bigger bull run?

In this collaboration with our sister podcast “The Envelope,” we talk all things Emmys, which are coming up Sept. 19. Who are the favorites? The snubs? The underdogs?
In this roundtable, host Gustavo Arellano — who still subscribes to DirecTV and mostly watches local news and Bravo, so at least he’s familiar with “Below Deck” — joins his entertainment-side colleagues, columnist Glenn Whipp and television editor Matt Brennan. They know what’s up.
