Amarica's Constitution - Double Negative Action
Affirmative action is before the Supreme Court, and two cases - one involving Harvard, and one implicating the University of North Carolina - were recently argued before the Court. We have pulled out clips from the more than six hours of argument, culled the main arguments, and we present them to you. Listen to the voices of the justices and the advocates, and hear Akhil’s commentary and analysis. This is the first of a planned two-podcast series.

Time To Say Goodbye - Crypto fraudsters with Max Read
Hello from the Matt Levine fan club!
This week, the writer and editor Max Read returns to discuss the disintegration of the tech world.
2:45 – First, Max and Jay explain what happened to cryptocurrency exchange FTX, founded by Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), and how its calamitous end has eroded people’s faith in crypto. We marvel at FTX’s narrative arc (“Star Wars” and a Bahamian polycule!), the social network that enabled SBF’s messianic rise, and the material conditions in tech-business journalism. Plus: Did SBF’s obsession with effective altruism (or, as Tammy puts it, the Davos-ification of philosophy) inoculate him against criticism?
38:50 – Speaking of Silicon Valley founder fetish… we then turn our attention to the train wreck of Twitter under Elon Musk. Could this disastrous moment in tech workers’ rights shift the industry’s (and especially Twitter’s) stance on unions? Or will downsizing keep workers in their place? Which of the Max’s predicted paths will Twitter take, and what would its death mean for the left and for journalism?

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 Bonus: Michael Zuercher, Prismatic
Michael Zuercher has been in tech since he was young, starting his first company when he was 19 years old. A lot of his path to his current place is through that prior company. He is married with 3 kids, living in South Dakota, and is a pilot. Beyond these things, he is a machinist as a hobby - in fact, he created logos for his current team as they shipped their MVP.
In his prior company, Michael built numerous amount of productized integrations across his platform and thousands of customers.
