What Could Go Right? - The Plague Cycle (Bonus)

It might seem counterintuitive to ask in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, but is humanity winning the fight against infectious disease? Charles Kenny, Senior Fellow at the Center for Global Development, says we are. But we must continue availing ourselves of the solutions that have led to this progress if that answer is to stay. In this interview, Kenny speaks with The Progress Network Executive Director Emma Varvaloucas about his new book, The Plague Cycle, outlining the immense headway humanity has already made in flattening "the plague cycle" and what we need to keep doing it, talks about the beneficial ripple effects of our triumph over infectious disease, and sets our current pandemic experiences in the context of history.

This conversation was recorded on January 19th, 2021.

What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Anthem’ considers the world we are passing down to the next generation

Noah Hawley is a world builder. He created the TV shows Fargo and Legion, so he is no stranger to getting an audience immersed in his worlds. His new novel Anthem is no different. But it doesn't take that much imagination, despite the fantasy creatures: This world is remarkably similar to ours. Hawley was interested in looking at the state of the world that is getting passed down to future generations. Hawley told NPR's Ayesha Rascoe his goal was to write "a fantasy novel about our real world or a realistic novel about the fantasy world that we're living in." Mission accomplished.

Amarica's Constitution - Your Turn; Our Take

We deliver a long-promised episode, as the audience guides the discussion this week with their penetrating questions. Was Akhil too easy on Mitch McConnell? How about bringing on expert X or Y?

Indeed, once you have completed the podcast, you will find yourselves that much more informed, as these sometimes complex concepts are explained in Akhil’s usual approachable if inimitable way.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - NFT ALL-STARS: Music, Comedy and NFTs With Deadmau5 and Hannibal Buress

This episode is sponsored by TurboTax Live and Metapurse.fund.

The integration of NFTs, blockchain technology and the metaverse has spawned incredible opportunities for creators to take back the power of their art. “This is the baby steps towards that liberation of a creator where they’re going to have more control, but at a cost,” Deadmau5 says.

What is that cost? Though the opportunities of crypto for creators are great, where is the technology lacking?

This episode of “NFT All-Stars,” hosts Artnome and Marguerite deCourcelle are joined by expert panelists Jenny Guo and BT to interview two entertainers looking to integrate crypto into their art.

First, Hannibal Buress provides a comedian’s perspective on the developing NFT subculture Deadmau5 joins next to analyze how NFTs might change the relationship between musicians and fans. Both guests underscore the need for better education and onramp tools for crypto, a necessary element before mass adoption can occur.

The Daily Signal - Bonus: The Russia-Ukraine Crisis, Explained

Could the conflict between Russia and Ukraine turn into a long-term war in Europe? Is World War III on the horizon? How will America be affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? And what can China’s response to the situation tell us?

Luke Coffey, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to answer these questions and explain what Russia ultimately hopes to achieve from the invasion. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news organization.)

America, and many European nations, likely will face significant challenges because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict Coffey says, because it “doesn’t take a great leap of imagination to see how this conflict could spill over, could spiral out of control.”
