Headlines From The Times - The Future of Abortion Part 3: Money

Roe vs. Wade is expected to be struck down this summer, which would mean abortion will no longer be a federally protected right. If that happens, about half the states will probably ban abortion altogether, or make getting one a lot more difficult. But for those who live in Texas, especially in the Rio Grande Valley, it’s already hard to get an abortion.

Today, we look at how Texas has made it nearly impossible for low-income women to get an abortion. And how other states want to copy that. Read the transcript here.

Host: Gustavo Arellano

Guests: L.A. Times Houston Bureau Chief Molly Hennessy-Fiske

NPR's Book of the Day - Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper on the ethical dilemmas of working for Trump

As secretary of defense for President Trump, Mark Esper was privy to a lot of the inner workings of the administration. In his new book, A Sacred Oath, he brings readers into the room with him, showing how certain controversial decisions were being made and how some others were prevented. In an interview with All Things Considered, Esper told Michel Martin about the ethical dilemmas of working for Trump and the reasons why he stayed: to serve his country, avoid what he calls 'bad things from happening,' and improve the military from the inside out.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Not stuck in neutral: Sweden, Finland and NATO

Neither Finland nor Sweden ever joined NATO, the Western military alliance formed in 1949: Finland for pragmatic reasons and Sweden for ideological ones. But Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted both to change course. Facebook’s appeal is waning – to both users and investors. And for the first time, a telescope has captured images of the black hole at the centre of our galaxy.

Take This Pod and Shove It - 22: “In The Jailhouse Now” by Webb Pierce, w/ Michael Timlin

This week Danny and Tyler discuss forgotten country superstar Webb Pierce, and his hit version of "In The Jailhouse Now." They're joined by comedian and Webb Pierce fan, Michael Timlin (Work Sucks, I Know! Podcast). Webb Pierce may be a new name to many, but the dude basically owned country music radio in the 50's, so there's a lot of fun stuff to unpack and talk about.

The boys discuss Webb's (in)famous extravagance, faking it 'til you make it, and the illusive origins of "In The Jailhouse Now."

Webb Pierce had almost 100 charted hits, so here's a few songs to recommendations to narrow things down, if you're new to Webb:

Everything Everywhere Daily - Saint Peter’s Basilica

In the early 4th century, the Roman Emperor Constantine ordered the construction of a church on the burial site of Saint Peter. It was the greatest church in Christianity.


Centuries later, that building was falling apart, so Pope Julius II ordered the construction of a replacement church that would be newer and much bigger. 


Learn more about St. Peter’s Basilica, the world’s largest church, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
