The Intelligence from The Economist - A non-member states: Finland’s ex-PM on NATO

Perched at Russia’s north-western corner, the country has plenty of history dealing with neighbourly aggression. We speak with Alexander Stubb, a former prime minister, about his views on European security. After a nasty campaign season, South Korea has a new president, Yoon Suk-Yeol. We examine the myriad challenges he faces. And how to spot Parkinson’s disease early—with an electronic nose.

Honestly with Bari Weiss - The Stakes of a No Fly Zone

Russia’s war against Ukraine has been raging on for almost two weeks now and Ukraine is in crisis. President Zelensky has been begging the United States, together with their allies, to enforce a “no fly zone,” to save innocent lives and help Ukraine win a war they seem likely to lose otherwise. The U.S. has refused. So has NATO. Why? 


On today’s episode, Eli Lake and Damir Marusic explain the benefits and risks of imposing a no fly zone over Ukraine, and what’s at stake—for Ukraine, for the U.S., and for the world.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 Bonus: Barak Schoster, Bridgecrew

Barak Schoster claims he's generally a boring guy. What he does professionally, he also loves to do in his free time - which is coding. He contributes regularly to open source projects. Outside of this, he loves sea kayaking, and equates the ups and downs of the sport to software engineering. He is married with 2 sons, both under 5 years old. They are into building puzzles together and playing ball, as they are sporty kids. Barak and his wife like to visit restaurants, watch movies together, and thoroughly enjoys going to rock concerts. His favorite rock band is Guns and Roses, but his favorite concerts have been U2 and Imagine Dragons.

In February 2019, Barak and his co-founders started their companies journey by asking the question - how do you secure your cloud environment? What they found was their experience with fixing these environments were similar to the market, and no solution had been created for streamlining this process, much less optimizing and automating it where possible.

This is the creation story of Bridgecrew.

Village SquareCast - God Squad: Empathy in the Age of Schadenfreude – and a timely conversation on Ukraine

Prepared to explore “Empathy in the Age of Schadenfreude,” the God Squad showed up to a room full of people disturbed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.  It turns out our planned topic was just the opening we needed to explore how one addresses the moral complexities of the war in Ukraine.

Join us for this timely conversation as we seek spiritual reinforcement from God Squad originals Pastor Betsy Ouellette Zierden of St. George Island United Methodist Church, Father Tim Holeda of St. Thomas More Co-Cathedral, and Rabbi Jack Romberg, author of "A doorway to Heroism: A decorated German-Jewish Soldier who became an American Hero."

Schadenfreude = the experience of feeling joy due to another person’s misfortune.

As the political landscape has devolved into a Mad Max hellscape of blame and retribution (and sometimes even worse), can we find a way to wrestle up a little empathy for our fellow human, even the ones who we don’t agree with — liberal or conservative; Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Atheist; black, white or brown and everyone in between? Is it possible to find humanity amidst the age of political ruin? We’ll find out.

Find this event online at The Village Square.

This podcast series is presented in partnership with Florida Humanities.

Village SquareCast is part of The Democracy Group podcast network.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Holodomor

Subscribe to the podcast! 

https://podfollow.com/everythingeverywhere/


In the winter of 1932 and 1933, one of the greatest humanitarian disasters in human history occurred in what was then the province of Ukraine in the Soviet Union. 


Millions of people died, yet the event was ignored in most of the western press and wasn’t even officially acknowledged by the Soviet government until the 1980s. 


Today, most people in the world still aren’t aware of one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century. 


Learn more about the Holodomor and the engineered famine that killed millions of people, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
