On this episode of How To!, we bring on Kendra Adachi, she’s a best-selling author, podcaster, and professional permission giver.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - Ukrainian War, American Intelligence

It’s not unusual for the U.S. to lend intelligence to another country. It’s a little more unusual for the U.S. to talk about it. 


Why is the American military confirming reports that it’s helping Ukraine vanquish Russian targets? Could that candidness lead to an expansion of the war? Or will it be the deciding factor in finishing the conflict?


Guest: Shane Harris, reporter covering intelligence and national security for the Washington Post.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - SOB: When the Referees Play Favorites (Part 2)

The power to regulate is the power to delay.

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io.

Join “Speaking of Bitcoin” hosts Adam B Levine, Andreas M. Antonopoulos and Stephanie Murphy for a look at the recent U.S. bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund approval that has some in the crypto community increasingly optimistic about its potential to revolutionize finance forever! 

But should they be? 

Ever since the first bitcoin (BTC) spot ETF was rejected by regulatory bodies in 2017, investors have had to watch their investments crumble. The prospects for a successful outcome have seemed bleak. So why do we keep talking about these failed products and why does it seem like everyone is clambering aboard with hope once again as if nothing happened the last time around?

The show tackles a paradoxical situation where a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission tasked with investor protection may actually push consumers into riskier vehicles, before shifting gears towards knowledge-power-confounding "Darth Vader" effect and bipartisan legislation aimed at protecting U.S. investors from volatility risks.
