Headlines From The Times - The fight to become L.A. County sheriff
Alex Villanueva was elected as Los Angeles County sheriff in 2018 with support from progressives riding an anti-Trump wave. But since he took office, he has shifted to the right. His opponent in the November election, retired Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna, leads in the polls.
But at a time when issues surrounding law enforcement are part of a national conversation, how much do they differ? We talk about it, as we hear from both candidates at a debate this month. Read the full transcript here.
Host: Gustavo Arellano
Guests: L.A. Times law enforcement reporter Alene Tchekmedyian

Time To Say Goodbye - What Would Gramsci Do (plus NBA drama) with book critic Jennifer Wilson
Hello from a Korean sublet!
This week, our friend Jennifer Wilson joins us to discuss the art of cultural criticism and test out some takes on James Harden, Gramsci, and Russia.
First, we discuss Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka’s suspension and the ongoing fallout. What can fans’ reactions teach us about today’s top sports commentators and the proliferation of meme culture?
Then, we glide seamlessly into a discussion of Italian communist Antonio Gramsci. Jen talks about furthering his mission to decode capitalist values in mass culture, and argues for the return of the true pan. We also explore the restraints of representation, the joy of grappling with stuff in messy ways, and what it means when POC content is a hit with privileged white audiences (the “Get Out” effect). Jen also discusses her Indian husband’s lack of interest in “Indian Matchmaking” and her interview with ”Luster” author Raven Leilani.
Finally, Jen, a Ph.D.-holding Russianist, briefly discusses what she’s hearing about this stage of the war.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Off the top of their heads: Iran’s widespread protests
Women are burning their hijabs on bonfires and hacking off their hair—but the unrest has come to be about far more than the heavy hands of the morality police. The murder of Abe Shinzo, a former Japanese prime minister, exposed troubling government links to a cult-like sect; the fallout could unseat his successor. And using flying robots as 3D printers.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 Bonus: Max Koziolek, Spectrm
Max Koziolek comes from a simple background. His single mother raised he and his twin brother, outside of Berlin, with no connection to technology. When he was introduced to tech, he was really only interested as far as the games he could play. He was into sports, martial arts, and even politics, believe it or not. He studied law, and realized that as the world was changing to be wrapped around tech, he came back to the industry. Now a days, he is back into martial arts, and he notices - and supports - the trend of tech and martial arts being correlated.
In the past, Max noticed that he was getting a ton of good content from his friends on the chat apps he used. He paired up with his co-founder to explore fixing journalism, and distribute valuable content to users... through WhatsApp.
This is the creation story of Spectrm.
