It has quickly become a forum for cultural conversation, and many Gen Z users even get their news from the app. Reset hears from TikTokkers journalists, Chris Vazquez and Jack Corbett, about building an audience, keeping people from scrolling away, and what makes the app tick.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Zeno’s Paradoxes

About 2,500 years ago, a Greek philosopher by the name of Zeno of Elea proposed several paradoxes about the natural word.

His ideas were actually really simple, but they were incredibly difficult to explain away. 

For the last two millennia, philosophers have been trying to resolve his paradoxes, and they are still trying to explain them today.

Learn more about the paradoxes of Zeon and how they can possibly be resolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Tanya Katerí Hernández, “Racial Innocence: Unmasking Latino Anti-Black Bias and the Struggle for Equality” (Beacon Press, 2022)

Racial Innocence: Unmasking Latino Anti-Black Bias and the Struggle for Equality (Beacon Press, 2022) will challenge what you thought about racism and bias and demonstrate that it’s possible for a historically marginalized group to experience discrimination and also be discriminatory. Racism is deeply complex, and law professor and comparative race relations expert Tanya Katerí Hernández exposes “the Latino racial innocence cloak” that often veils Latino complicity in racism. As Latinos are the second-largest ethnic group in the US, this revelation is critical to dismantling systemic racism. Basing her work on interviews, discrimination case files, and civil rights law, Hernández reveals Latino anti-Black bias in the workplace, the housing market, schools, places of recreation, the criminal justice system, and Latino families.


By focusing on racism perpetrated by communities outside those of White non-Latino people, Racial Innocence brings to light the many Afro-Latino and African American victims of anti-Blackness at the hands of other people of color. Through exploring the interwoven fabric of discrimination and examining the cause of these issues, we can begin to move toward a more egalitarian society.

Anna E. Lindner is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Communication at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. On Twitter.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Work Life in 2023 (with Career Contessa)

The latest data shows job growth in the U.S. is still pretty strong – with more jobs available than there are people to fill them. But there are signs changes could be on the way, like more hiring freezes, layoffs, and possibly a long-anticipated recession. In some industries, layoffs have already begun. 

How can both employees and employers prepare? Our guest today is Lauren McGoodwin. She’s the CEO of Career Contessa, a career resource that helps women build successful and fulfilling careers. She’s also the author of the best-selling career book “Power Moves” and the host of The Career Contessa Podcast.

Lauren is sharing what job seekers can do to be as competitive as possible – even those not technically looking for a new job right now – how to respond to workplace trends in the new year, including so-called "quiet hiring,” and much more!

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - The Labor Case Before SCOTUS Has Big Implications for Democracy

Amicus is sponsored by Betterhelp.

The Supreme Court of the United States got back into the swing of things its first week back after New Years, with a case about cement workers and the rights of organized labor. The “swing” the court was getting “back into” with this case was potential precedent-busting. Dahlia Lithwick is joined on this week’s show by Terri Gerstein, director of the State and Local Enforcement Project at Harvard Law School’s Center for Labor and a Just Economy, to discuss what this case could mean for worker’s rights, and for democracy more broadly. 

Next, Dahlia is joined by Brad Meltzer, a serial best selling author of so many kinds of books. This week Brad has two books coming out, I Am John Lewis for the kids, and The Nazi Conspiracy - The Secret Plot to Kill Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill. Brad and Dahlia discuss legal writing, book bans, and what these two seemingly very different books have in common. 

In this week’s Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by Slate’s Mark Joseph Stern for an update on abortion legislation at the state and national level. They discuss the smoke and mirrors of the new republican house majority’s “Born Alive” Bill, and the devastating fallout if Virginia’s 15 week ban gets passed.
