The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | Janice Dean on How She Became ‘the Storm’ Leading to Andrew Cuomo’s Demise

Not long into the pandemic in 2020, Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean lost both her mother-in-law and father-in-law to COVID-19. They had been staying in nursing homes in New York. Months later, Dean would discover that it was likely the actions of then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo that led to the deaths of her in-laws. 


Dean says it was not that Cuomo issued an ignorant order to send the COVID-positive elderly back to nursing homes that troubled her, but rather that Cuomo intentionally tried to cover up the number of deaths that resulted from his actions.


Instead of losing herself in grief, Dean made it her mission to expose the truth and hold Cuomo accountable. 


"I remember when my grief really turned to anger, and that was seeing ... the Cuomo brothers [Andrew and Chris] on CNN, joking around when thousands of people were dying," Dean says, adding, "it was just gross negligence, just unbelievable."


In her new book, “I Am the Storm,” Dean tells her story of helping to take down one of the most powerful men in New York. She also shares the stories of more than a dozen other men and women who have turned their hardships into a force for good. 


Dean joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share how she, and so many others, have turned hardship into purpose. 


Enjoy the show!

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - Hospice for Profit

Since the 1980s, hospice has been covered by Medicare, and it’s come to be an expected part of the healthcare that millions of Americans receive at the end of their lives. But beneath the pamphlets of patients living out their days in comfort lies an uglier reality: a cottage industry that frequently misappropriates taxpayer dollars in the name of profit.


Guest: Ava Kofman, investigative reporter for ProPublica.

The Stack Overflow Podcast - Flake it till you make it – how to handle flaky tests

There is a ton of great research to be found on Prof. Kapfhammer's website, including: 

  • Flaky Tests: Finding and fixing unpredictable and harmful test cases
  • Database Testing: Automatically testing relational database schemas
  • Web Testing: Detecting and repairing poor responsive web page layout

We've written a bit about how Stack Overflow is upping its unit testing game and how you can evaluate multiple assertions in a single test.

Thanks to our lifeboat badge winner of the week, Survivor, for answering the question: Is it possible to find out if a value exists twice in an arraylist?

Short Wave - A Course Correction In Managing Drying Rivers

Historic drought in the west and water diversion for human use are causing stretches of the Colorado and Mississippi rivers to run dry. "The American West is going to have to need to learn how to do more with less," says Laurence Smith, a river surveyor and environmental studies professor at Brown University. He recently dropped in for a chat with Short Wave co-host Emily Kwong about how scientists are turning a new page on managing two of The United States's central waterways, the Colorado and Mississippi Rivers.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘New Kid,’ a Black seventh grader navigates a new school

Jordan Banks, the protagonist of New Kid, is a seventh grade student who loves to draw and hopes to one day become a cartoonist. But the graphic novel following Jordan's arrival at a predominantly white, elite, private school has been challenged numerous times in the state of Texas by people claiming it promotes critical race theory. In today's episode, author Jerry Craft tells NPR's A Martinez how those challenges were often presented by parents who had not truly engaged with the material – and why it's crucial for him to tell coming-of-age stories for Black kids that don't involve catastrophe.
