Oprahdemics - Oprah Gets Duped by James Frey
In 2006, Oprah Winfrey picked James Frey’s “A Million Little Pieces” as a book club pick, catapulting Frey into the literary limelight. Soon after, though, reports emerged that he’d fabricated much of the memoir and his most harrowing experiences with drugs and violence. So Oprah confronted Frey on her show, in a very awkward interview. Years later, though, she apologized to Frey for the confrontation. We break it all down and what it means to be duped, be called out, and show contrition.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Active shooters, inactive politics: America’s latest school massacre
After 19 children and two adults were gunned down in Texas, we ask why gun laws are actually loosening in many states and why even moderate gun controls do not get passed. The rapid spread of monkeypox has rattled a covid-weary world; how much cause for concern is there? And why teams of professional writers are getting involved in games development.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 Bonus: Savarth Misra, ContractPodAI
Savarth Misra didn't start out in tech. In fact, he was a lawyer, working as a corporate commercial lawyer in Asia and the UK. During this time, he noticed how little tech adoption was being done, and how much opportunity was available for solutions to make an impact. He is married, with 2 girls - who, in his words, keep him out of mischief. One of his daughters is totally extroverted, and coming from two introverted parents, they are still trying to figure out where she got it from.
In his prior profession as a lawyer, Savarth thoroughly understood how contracts were done. He also noticed how little tech adoption was present, which directly impacted the effectiveness of contract management in general. He figured it was only a matter of time before this industry - his industry, was disrupted by tech.
This is the creation story of ContractPodAI.

Honestly with Bari Weiss - The Battle for the American Right
We are living through a seismic political realignment. The parties and the political movements that fuel them are being dramatically redefined—and are up for grabs in ways that would have been unthinkable even two decades ago.
Today, we are focusing on “the right” side of that divide: what the right has meant historically; what it means today; and what it might look like a decade or a century from now.
My guest is Matthew Continetti, author of the new book: “The Right: The Hundred-year War for American Conservatism.” We talk about Donald Trump, of course. But more so we talk about whether or not he was a departure from conservatism or a return to something deeper in American history that the movement’s elites had long kept at the periphery. We talk about the gap between those elites and the base. And we talk about the emerging group known as the “New Right” and whether or not they represent the future of American politics.
