Lost Debate - The Regressives Ep. 4 | The Nonprofit Industrial Complex

The Regressives Ep. 4 |

In America, it's all too common that we measure success by whether you leave the town you grew up in. The best and brightest, it's assumed, are those that get out. Why do we accept that as a country? Urban revitalization strategist Majora Carter says we shouldn't, and we won't see real improvement in our low-income neighborhoods until we approach them differently. Ravi and Majora get into a wide-ranging discussion about flawed community outreach, the "non-profit industrial complex," gentrification, affordable housing and urban renewal.

Everything Everywhere Daily - How Close Were the Nazis to Making an Atomic Bomb? (Encore)

Subscribe to the podcast! 

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/


During the second world war, one of the biggest efforts of the war was the Manhattan Project: the secret American program to create an atomic bomb. 

The scientists and staff of the Manhattan Project were in a race to beat Nazi Germany to be the first country to build the A-bomb. When Germany surrendered in May 1945, and Americans detonated the first device in July, they had seemingly won the race.

But was it in fact a race at all? How close were the Nazis to actually building an atom bomb? 

Learn more about the Nazi nuclear program on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Consider This from NPR - Cryptocurrency: The Future Of Investing Or A Scam?

During the Super Bowl, clever ads from cryptocurrency companies urged a mainstream audience of 101 million viewers to buy now or regret it later. But besides high-minded rhetoric, what exactly were these ads selling? And why are some critics warning against investing?

To understand the arguments for and against investing in cryptocurrency, you have to get a bit technical. YouTuber, Dan Olson helps us understand these digital currencies, how they function, what you can buy with them and the ideology behind the tech.

We'll hear why Chinese dissident artist, Badiucao, thinks NFT's – non-fungible tokens – are the new frontier for political art. And critics explain why the crypto craze may be a market bubble and a scam.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
