CoinDesk Podcast Network - SOB: Choking on our Aspirations

The only thing worse than a Get-Rich-Quick-Scheme is a Save-The-World-Quick-Scheme, and we’re all falling for it: the Aspirational systems of DAOs, altcoins and crypto charities.

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io.

Human beings are generally good people!  But they’re also generally lazy people. When good natures and low efforts meet, terrible decisions follow. Scam coins, feel-good make-bad charities, DAOs and the joy of recycling; they’re all aspirational systems.

Consider This from NPR - Understanding The Link Between Racial Justice And The Fight Against Climate Change

Communities of color are the most harshly affected by climate change in the United States. While the importance of environmental justice is becoming more mainstream, too often people in this movement who are Black, Indigenous and people of color are overlooked and left out of conversations about how to solve the crisis.

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, a marine biologist, policy expert and writer, wants the broader environmental movement to understand the crucial link between the fight to save the planet and the fight for racial justice.

And we'll hear how the Donors of Color Network is working to increase philanthropic funding for environmental initiatives led by people of color.

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

The Gist - BEST OF THE GIST: What The F**k Is Up With David Daley And Elon Musk

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, we ask yesterday’s guest, gerrymandering expert David Daley, “Why so many asterisks in the title of your bestselling book?” Turns out, focus groups made him do it. And then we rewind to Monday’s Spiel, when Mike wonders if there could be a better way to think about Elon Musk buying Twitter than simply asking yourself: How much do I like Elon Musk?

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

Everything Everywhere Daily - Stanislav Petrov: The Man Who Saved the World (Encore)

I’ve done episodes before about people who have saved a large number of human lives. Mostly, these people have done so through inventions or innovations in fields like agriculture or medicine. 

What about people who prevented an impending disaster? Like when Superman stops an asteroid from hitting the Earth. 

Well, there was such a case, and thanks to the actions of a single man, millions of lives might have been saved.

Learn more about Stanislav Petrov, the man who saved the world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: American in Ukraine + What is a War Crime?

As Russia continues to wage war in Ukraine, some Americans and others around the world are leaving their more comfortable lives behind to go help. Today we’re hearing from a U.S. veteran-turned-volunteer in Ukraine. David Ribardo launched a group called Volunteers for Ukraine to organize relief efforts and collect donations, and now he’s there himself on the ground to help deliver supplies.

And later, what is a war crime? The United Nations is working to gather evidence of war crimes committed in Ukraine. If Russian soldiers or even President Vladimir Putin himself were to be indicted, what would happen next? We’re getting answers from an expert on international law, Rosa Celorio. She is the associate dean for International and Comparative Legal Studies at GW Law.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Sweden?s polarising pandemic response

When much of Europe went into lockdown at the start of pandemic, Sweden?s lighter touch strategy got lots of attention. Fans of the approach say it was a huge success that showed lockdowns were pointless. Opponents say it has been a disaster. But what do the numbers say?

In this episode of More Or Less, Tim Harford and journalist Keith Moore carve a nuanced path through one of the pandemic?s most polarising approaches.
