In his State of the Nation address in early June 2022, Uganda?s President Yoweri Museveni said that Uganda was on the cusp of becoming a middle income country. That?s been contradicted by World Bank figures. In response to a question from a More or Less fan in Uganda, Tim Harford looks at how a country?s income status is calculated and what relevance it has. Featuring Rachel Sebudde, Senior Economist at the World Bank.

The Disconnect: Power, Politics and the Texas Blackout - Coming Soon: Season Two
In February 2021, days-long blackouts in Texas left millions of people shivering in the dark. Hundreds died. And it exposed the failures of the nation’s only independent power grid.
More than a year later, the lights have stayed on, but problems persist. So how has the Texas grid changed? And how has it changed how people think about this infrastructure that used to be invisible to them?
KUT/KUTX Studios explores those questions in season two of The Disconnect: Power, Politics and the Texas Blackout.
Coming in August 2022.
Honestly with Bari Weiss - The Infamous Andrew Schulz
There’s a tried-and-true playbook for comedians who want to make it big: hit the road, get in front of as many audiences as possible, and try to grab the attention of the TV executives who decide which comics are lucky enough to get a special.
But Andrew Schulz and his generation of comics has something those guys didn’t: The internet.
In 2018, one of Schulz’s self-published specials went to number one across Apple Music, Google Play and Amazon. That led to sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall and, eventually, a four-part series on Netflix.
This summer, right as he was about to release his newest special with another big streamer, he was told he’d need to edit out some of his offensive jokes. Instead of censoring his work, he bought back the rights to the show and is going to release it on his website this weekend.
We talk about why he feels so confident betting on himself, the state of comedy in an era of censoriousness, and why a healthy society needs people who are willing to be offensive.
Check out his new special on July 17th at: https://theandrewschulz.com/

NPR's Book of the Day - Two Indigenous authors on the legacy of a shared, painful history
Today, two books from indigenous authors who make a similar, wry argument: it's a miracle there are any Indigenous people in the Americas alive at all. First, Stephen Graham Jones talks about his horror novel The Only Good Indians, a reworking of an old, hostile phrase attributed to Theodore Roosevelt; plus the literary reasons why he chose to make it a horror story. Then, author Lisa Bird-Wilson talks about how her personal experience influenced her new book, Probably Ruby, a novel that follows the legacy of forced Indigenous adoption and residential schools in Canada.
