Consider This from NPR - Russia May Be Able To Attack Ukraine From The Inside

Despite reports that Russia may have withdrawn some troops from the Ukraine border, NATO says there's no evidence of de-escalation and forces remain ready to attack. But it's not just the border that is at risk.

NPR correspondent Frank Langfitt reports on hybrid war tactics like cyberattacks that Russia can, and may already be using to spark unrest in Ukraine.

And Mary Louise Kelly speaks with Russian journalist Vladimir Pozner about how the crisis feels in his country.

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

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: JPMorgan Moves Into the Metaverse

But does this highlight adoption, risk or both? 

This episode is sponsored by Nexo, Arculus, and FTX US. 

On today’s episode, NLW looks at the news that JPMorgan has opened a lounge in Decentraland. Specifically, he explores whether the growing corporate interest in the metaverse is a positive reflection on the accessibility of the metaverse, or if it should also represent a warning to a Web 3 community that is dreaming of an open, permissionless new internet. The episode also looks at two recent bills in Congress, one which would help preserve consumers’ ability to self-custody their digital assets, and one that would draw reserve guidelines around stablecoins.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - NEW MONEY: Music Meets Money – How R&B Legend Mario Is Getting the Bag

Blockchain tech is enabling direct fan-to-artist relationships and can bring the power back to the artists.

If you’re a big artist signed to a big label, there’s a high chance that label will have significant control over your music, production, tours, releases and more. R&B legend Mario knows this better than anyone because he’s recently transitioned from a major label to working as an independent artist.

Mario joins “New Money” hosts Spencer Dinwiddie and Solo Ceesay to pull the curtain back on the inner workings of the music industry, revealing the secrets of streaming, music rights and the problems that come with the centralization of music.

Blockchain technology might just present a solution for artists. Mario envisions a future where a label or social media platform cannot limit or control the income of the creators. The question remains: How soon can artists expect this future?

Watch the full episode here.

“New Money With Spencer and Solo” is produced by CoinDesk. Our theme music is “Street Knowledge” by KC Carter. Art design is by Calaxy/CoinDesk.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - What is ecoterrorism?

Most people can agree the proverbial writing is on the wall: Earth's climate is in trouble, and its degradation will have profound consequences of later generations. However, no one seems to have figured out what to do about the problem, and multiple groups have grown tired of sticking to legal means of fighting for the environment. To some, these groups acting outside the law are heroes. To others, they're ecoterrorists.
