The people of the State of New York have voted in Grand Jury to charge former President Trump with felony counts. He stands arrested and arraigned. If you were the District Attorney of New York City, and you had to make the decision whether to pursue this prosecution to this point, what factors should you have considered? What obligations do you have to the citizens of New York in this matter? What is your discretion? Do you agree with DA Bragg’s decision? Professor Amar will provide you with the background you need to approach these questions and make up your own mind.
The Stack Overflow Podcast - From cryptography to consensus: Q&A with CTO David Schwartz on building blockchain apps
Right now, plenty of people are building businesses on social media platforms, on streaming platforms, and on market platforms that they don’t control. That platform can make the rules in any way they want and remove access at any time. That means founders are potentially one step away from losing their livelihood. The same goes for consumers buying from these platforms: if you lose access to your account, there goes all your purchases. As it turns out, you were licensing everything, not buying it.
On this sponsored episode of the podcast, we talk with Ripple CTO David Schwartz about the promise that decentralized trust and distributed consensus has for software development — and for more transparency in ownership.
Episode notes:
Cross-border payments, while they might not be the sexiest app, are one of the best product-market fits for blockchains.

Ologies with Alie Ward - Chickenology Part 2 (HENS & ROOSTERS) with Tove Danovich
We’re back for Part 2! If you missed Part 1, start there for the chicken basics and then come back for the weird stuff like chickens eating chickens, why chickens bother laying unfertilized eggs, rooster gossip, fairy eggs, nest abominations, bird grief, beak accessories, soft burbling chicken sounds, spicy chicken feed, safe corners of the internet, multicolored eggs and the big questions: SHOULD YOU GET A CHICKEN OR WHAT. We help you decide.

Short Wave - Allergies Are Weird. So Are Cats
Katie Wu is a bona fide cat person. She has two of them: twin boys named Calvin and Hobbes. Every night, they curl up in bed with her, bonking their little noses together, rubbing their fur and whiskers everywhere, and leaving behind inevitable cat residue. It's certifiably cute ... and a little bit gross.
It's also the worst nightmare for the cat-allergic. Which, just shy of a decade ago, Katie was. In a stroke of luck, Katie's debilitating cat allergy disappeared. The reasons for her immune overhaul remain a mystery.
Allergies can wax and wane over time, but it seems to be less common to have the night-and-day shift that Katie experienced. In this episode, Katie walks host Aaron Scott through the dynamic world of allergies and what it reveals about our immune systems. And of course, Katie's cats make cameo appearances. (encore)

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Demon Copperhead’ tackles opioids, poverty and resilience in Appalachia
Novelist Barbara Kingsolver loves living in the Appalachian hills of southwestern Virginia. But she says she feels that the region is often misconstrued by mainstream media. Her new book, Demon Copperhead, follows a young boy grappling with the consequences of loss, addiction and poverty – but also finding ways to survive through creativity and imagination. In this episode, Kingsolver speaks with Here & Now's Scott Tong about the Dickensian influences in the novel, the divide between urban and rural, and the idea that "the middle of nowhere is relative."
Hayek Program Podcast - Mario Rizzo — 2022 Markets & Society Conference Keynote
On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we'll hear a keynote from the 2022 Markets & Society conference given by Mario Rizzo, a Distinguished Affiliated Fellow with the Hayek Program and Professor of Economics at New York University. In his keynote, Rizzo makes the case for noted psychologist William James as a classic example of anti-paternalism. He provides examples of James's anti-paternalism and examines the underlying factors which influenced his views. Rizzo also makes the case for why classical liberals should consider the work of William James as opposed to the modern influence of behavioralism in public policy.
