The Gist - BEST OF THE GIST: Speaker Of The House Edition

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, we take a look at the job of Speaker of the House. On Monday, Mike opened the show, after being on vacay for a couple weeks, talking about Kevin McCarthy’s elegant, seamless rise to the speakership, so we’re listening to that first. Then we’re digging back into The Gist archives to listen to Mike’s 2015 interview with author Harlow Giles Unger who tells us about the great compromiser of America’s formative years, former Speaker of the House Henry Clay. A contrast in courage, if you will.

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

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.
