The Intelligence from The Economist - Giorgia on my mind: Italy’s far-right government

Italians have voted decisively for a coalition of right-wing parties, with Giorgia Meloni, leader of the Brothers of Italy, the likely next prime minister. What this means for Italy, Europe and the war in Ukraine remains unclear. Latin American prisons are awful and getting worse. And a surprising hit film makes Chinese authorities nervous.

Take This Pod and Shove It - 36: “Pancho & Lefty” by Townes Van Zandt, w/ Chris Canterbury

This week we talk to country singer Chris Canterbury (new album Quaalude Lullabies out now!) about one of his major musical influences, the late great Townes Van Zandt! In addition to adding the storytelling classic "Pancho & Lefty" to our Ultimate Country Playlist, we discuss Van Zandt's growing legacy, using sparse production to best serve a song, and the power and attraction of sad songs.

Chris Canterbury, our first-non comedian guest, is a singer-songwriter in Nashville by way of his native Louisiana. Canterbury's new album is Quaalude Lullabies, a nine track collection of mostly sad songs that offers on-the-nose lyrical phrasing, subtlety loose production, and an honest insight into razor-edge topics like addiction, depression, and loneliness. Danny and Tyler both highly recommend this new album!

We also have some recommendations for Townes Van Zandt songs, for anyone who is new to Townes and would like a place to start:

  • Rex’s Blues
  • To Live is To Fly
  • Loretta
  • Waitin’ Around to Die
  • Dead Flowers
  • Two Hands
  • I’ll Be Here in the Morning
  • If I Needed You

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Stanford Prison Experiment

In the summer of 1971, Stanford professor of psychology Philip Zimbardo conducted an experiment to determine if cruelty amongst people of authority was because of the position or the people. 

Twenty-four men were selected and randomly assigned roles of guard or prisoner. 

The results were shocking and are still being debated over 50 years later. 

Learn more about the Stanford Prison Experiment, one of the most controversial experiments ever conducted, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Start the Week - Bradford – Brave New World

In a special edition of the show, in front of an audience at the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford, Adam Rutherford and guests focus on scientific curiosity – its thrills and its dangers.

Professor Matthew Cobb looks back over the last fifty years at the extraordinary development in gene editing. In his book The Genetic Age: Our Perilous Quest to Edit Life he traces the excitement of innovation and progress. But as the full potential of manipulating life is understood, he sounds a warning too.

The science historian Professor Alison Bashford tells the history of modern science and culture through the story of one family – the extraordinary Huxley dynasty. Through four generations the family profoundly shaped how we see ourselves, and pushed the boundaries of knowledge in science, literature and film.

Born in Bradford is an internationally-recognised research programme which aims to find out what keeps families healthy and happy. Professor Deborah Lawlor was born in the city and was one of the many scientists involved in setting up the programme. She explains how this vast ‘city of research’ – with data from more than 700,000 citizens – is being used to improve population health.

Producer: Katy Hickman

NBN Book of the Day - Juan Pablo Pardo-Guerra, “The Quantified Scholar: How Research Evaluations Transformed the British Social Sciences” (Columbia UP, 2022)

How do metrics and quantification shape social science? In The Quantified Scholar: How Research Evaluations Transformed the British Social Sciences (Columbia UP, 2022), Juan Pablo Pardo-Guerra, an Associate Professor in sociology at the University of California, San Diego, explores this question using a case study of British academia. The book combines a rich array of quantitative and qualitative analysis, demonstrating the transformation of working conditions, institutional contexts, and research areas since the introduction of a metrics and quantification regime during the 1980s. Highlighting the complexity and ambivalences of metrics and quantification, as well as the uneven distribution of positive and negative impacts, the book offers essential reading for every academic, irrespective of the nation or institution in which they work. It also will be important for those seeing to better understand the role of metrics and markets in contemporary life.

Dave O'Brien is Professor of Cultural and Creative Industries, at the University of Sheffield.

In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt - Why Democracy Really Is in Danger (with David Leonhardt)

Election denialism represents a fundamental breakdown in our democracy, a problem America has never experienced in its history. But that’s not it. There’s also an increasingly alarming disconnection between public opinion and the power to shape American politics. Andy explores these two threats with New York Times senior writer David Leonhardt, who explains why candidates that win the most votes are less and less able to take power and address the country’s problems. They also dig into the specific policy changes that could help protect our democracy, from Electoral College reform bills to ranked choice voting.
