Headlines From The Times - No freedom gold medal for you, Olympics

There’s a growing realization that the brilliance of the world’s best athletes isn’t enough anymore to cover some glaring problems that come with putting on the Olympics every two years.

The International Olympics Committee has always claimed the Games are about promoting goodwill and celebrating the brotherhood of mankind. But as it turns out, not only do Olympics not do that, they tend to make democratic states… more authoritarian.

So what does that mean for the Games coming to Los Angeles in 2028?

Guests: Human Rights Watch China Director Sophie Richardson, and Pacific University political science professor Jules Boykoff

The Intelligence from The Economist - A model result: our French-election series begins

In the first instalment of the series, we unveil our forecast model and visit one of the quiet suburbs where the vote’s outcome will probably be decided.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 Bonus: Lindsay Tjepkema, Casted

Lindsay Tjepkema is married with three kids, living in Indianapolis. Her children are all boys, and she lovingly describes them more like bear cubs, that don't actually walk anywhere, they just kinda roll around and growl. They've been known to have many a family night playing Mario Kart or watching avengers movies.

Lindsay has been a B2B marketer for over 15 years. While working in the space, she wanted a platform to help her maintain, manage, and make the most of audio and video content made for her company. When she looked around for a solution, she couldn't find one. So of course - she and her co-founders decided to build their own.

This is the creation story of Casted.

Bay Curious - Bay Curious Presents: Berkeley’s Rainbow Sign

Located at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Derby streets in Berkeley, The Rainbow Sign was a Black-centered space that was open to all — as a performance venue, a political organizing nexus and a legendary cafe. It saw dozens of high-profile Black luminaries walk through its doors, including James Baldwin, Nina Simone, Maya Angelou and Shirley Chisholm. The Rainbow Sign opened its doors in 1971, but was forced to shut down just six years later. Despite its short existence, the venue left an indelible mark on many young people in the community, including Vice President Kamala Harris.
