Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Illinois Could Soon Have Mandatory Paid Leave

Most industrialized nations offer workers paid time off, but it’s still somewhat rare in the United States outside of what’s often called “white collar” work. Reset discusses the Paid Leave For All Workers Act with Ben Opp, HR hotline advisor at HR Source and Mark Maxwell, political editor at KSDK News in St. Louis and former Capitol bureau chief for WCIA in Springfield.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Has Obi won, can Obi? Nigeria’s elections

Excitement still surrounds the spoiler candidate Peter Obi, whose down-to-earth ways appeal to a large constituency of fed-up youths. We look at the early returns. A year ago Olaf Scholz, Germany’s chancellor, announced a tremendous shift in defence policy and funding; we ask how far the warship has turned since then. And remembering Queen Elizabeth I’s favourite composer.

Crimetown - Introducing “Operation: Tradebom”

Everybody remembers the morning of September 11, 2001, when two passenger jets flew into the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan. But the idea of toppling the towers was not new. Thirty years ago, a group of men set off a bomb in the garage beneath the North Tower, hoping it would tumble into the South Tower. At the time, this was the largest improvised explosive device ever ignited on American soil. It killed six people and injured thousands, leaving behind a 100-foot crater five stories deep. Investigators from New York City’s Joint Terrorism Task Force—a ragtag team of FBI paper-pushers and NYPD detectives—found themselves conducting a new type of international investigation, called Operation: Tradebom. It became their job to find the bombers and bring them to justice before something even worse happened.


Operation: Tradebom is an Apple Original podcast, produced by Truth Media in partnership with Brillstein Entertainment Partners. All episodes are available now.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Most Important Supermarket Visit in History

The cold war was the defining event of the second half of the 20th century. 

When exactly it ended has been subject to debate. Was it the fall of the Berlin Wall? Was the day the Soviet Union was dissolved?

There is an argument to be made that end might have actually occurred before any of those things, although no one knew it at the time. 

The event in question didn’t take place in Moscow or Washington but in a supermarket in the suburbs of Houston. 

Learn more about the most important supermarket visit in history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Start the Week - Democratic capitalism – marriage on the rocks

It’s Ok To Be Angry About Capitalism is the title of the new book by the US politician Bernie Sanders. In it he castigates a system that he argues is fuelled by uncontrolled greed and rigged against ordinary people. He tells Tom Sutcliffe it’s time to reject an economic order and a political system that continues to benefit the super-rich, and fight for a democracy that recognises that economic rights are human rights.

The Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times Martin Wolf looks more closely at how and why the relationship between capitalism and democracy appears to be unravelling. But despite the failings – slowing growth, growing inequality and widespread popular disillusion – he argues in The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism that the relationship remains the best system for human flourishing.

But the economist Kate Raworth believes that mainstream economics has had its day. Its failure to predict and prevent financial crises, while allowing extreme poverty, inequality and environment degradation to persist, means its contributing to, not solving, societal unrest. She argues that her theory – Doughnut Economics – offers a new model for a green, fair and thriving global economy.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - Let’s Start a Coup! Ep 1 – A Basket Full of Fascists

Nowadays, most people can agree that fascism is, well, a bad thing. But back in the 1930s, life absolutely sucked for most Americans, and fascism still had a sort of new car smell. Wall Street bankers were convinced they could take their country back from the clutches of ‘class traitors’ like Roosevelt, sink the New Deal and put the United States on a better – meaning more profitable – path. 

They had the money. They had an army. Now all they needed was a leader.
