Everything Everywhere Daily - SETI: The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence

For thousands of years, humans have looked up at the night sky and wondered, “are we alone?”

For the longest time, it remained nothing more than a philosophical question, but in the 20th century, some researchers thought it was time to finally start looking. 

One of the big questions was how do you look for something that you don’t know exists, and if it does, you don’t know where it is?

Learn more about SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Kimberly Kay Hoang, “Spiderweb Capitalism: How Global Elites Exploit Frontier Markets” (Princeton UP, 2022)

In 2015, the anonymous leak of the Panama Papers brought to light millions of financial and legal documents exposing how the superrich hide their money using complex webs of offshore vehicles. Spiderweb Capitalism: How Global Elites Exploit Frontier Markets (Princeton UP, 2022) takes you inside this shadow economy, uncovering the mechanics behind the invisible, mundane networks of lawyers, accountants, company secretaries, and fixers who facilitate the illicit movement of wealth across borders and around the globe.

Kimberly Kay Hoang traveled more than 350,000 miles and conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews with private wealth managers, fund managers, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, bankers, auditors, and other financial professionals. She traces the flow of capital from offshore funds in places like the Cayman Islands, Samoa, and Panama to special-purpose vehicles and holding companies in Singapore and Hong Kong, and how it finds its way into risky markets onshore in Vietnam and Myanmar. Hoang reveals the strategies behind spiderweb capitalism and examines the moral dilemmas of making money in legal, financial, and political gray zones.

Dazzlingly written, Spiderweb Capitalism sheds critical light on how global elites capitalize on risky frontier markets, and deepens our understanding of the paradoxical ways in which global economic growth is sustained through states where the line separating the legal from the corrupt is not always clear.

In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt - COVID-19 Winter Wave Warning Signs (with Katelyn Jetelina)

How bad will this winter’s COVID-19 wave be? That’s what Andy asks epidemiologist Katelyn Jetelina, who’s been watching Europe closely and combing through the data on new variants. She predicts that a winter wave is about 90% likely and explains her biggest worries – an Omicron subvariant called BQ.1.1 and a simultaneous flu wave with fewer masking requirements. She and Andy also discuss how the fall bivalent booster will hold up against new winter variants, why uptake is still so low, and how to plan for gatherings with friends and family this holiday season.

Keep up with Andy on Twitter @ASlavitt.

What A Day - One Month Of Women-Led Protests In Iran

It’s been one month since women began burning their hijabs and leading daily protests in the streets of Iran over the killing of Mahsa Amini. In that time, Iranian security forces have reportedly killed at least 233 protesters — including 32 children.

The Biden administration soft-launched its student loan forgiveness application site over the weekend. This comes after President Biden announced the plan in August that would cancel up to $20,000 worth of federal student loans for individual borrowers.

And in headlines: China’s political leaders kicked off the 20th Communist Party Congress, thousands of demonstrators flooded the streets of Paris over inflation and rising energy costs, and Elon Musk said SpaceX will continue to pay for a critical satellite internet service in Ukraine.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Darcy Olsen of Center for Rights of Abused Children

An astonishing 675,000 children are abused every year in America. Thousands of kids in foster care disappear in the course of a year. Some are missing for days or even weeks, and tragically, others are never found.


Fortunately, there’s an organization committed to doing something about these problems and other issues related to child protection in America.


The Center for the Rights of Abused Children, formerly known as Gen Justice, serves in a pro bono capacity for cases involving abuse, as well as helping kids who have been abandoned and trafficked. It’s also committed to strengthening laws that can save lives.


CEO Darcy Olsen, who joins this episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast," founded the organization in 2010. She’s also the mother of four children, all adopted from foster care.
