Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - What It Can Mean To Finish School As An Older Adult

From finishing up a degree, going for the first time, or pursuing a different career, going back to school as an adult can look so different from person to person. Whatever the reason, going back to school later in life presents opportunities and challenges. It can also be intimidating. Reset hears from non-traditional students about what going back to school was like and the impact it’s had on their lives. We also learn about programming that creatively meets the needs of adult students.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Another season of the crown: the coronation of Charles III

He has been king since September; now it is time for the pomp. We examine the modern monarchy—and the ancient frippery of coronations. Despite prior reluctance to do much about climate change, America is set to become a clean-energy superpower. And reflecting on the life of Carolyn Bryant, whose testimony led to a lynching that set off America’s civil-rights movement.

The Best One Yet - 👑 “We crunched the coronation cash” – England’s Royal ROI. Airbnb’s room strategy. Band-Aid’s IPO.

The coronation of King Charles the III is tomorrow in London — but you didn’t realize the royal family is Royalty Incorporated (worth $21B). Airbnb’s always let you book private rooms (not just entire homes), but it’s doubling down on affordable options because that’s core to its identity. And Band-Aid Brands is part of the biggest IPO of 2023: Kenvue — It’s worth $40B, because branding is a powerful drug.   This week’s pop-biz pop-quiz: Go.tboypod.com  $ABNB $JNJ $KVU $CMG Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

Everything Everywhere Daily - Cinco de Mayo

Every year Mexico and Mexican culture are celebrated during the holiday of Cinco de Mayo, which in Spanish just means May 5th. 

However, many people, especially those outside of Mexico, have no idea what exactly is being celebrated on May 5, and many of those who think they know have the wrong idea.

The location of most of the Cinco de Mayo celebrations is also surprising to most people as well.

Learn more about Cinco de Mayo and the real reason for the celebration on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

World Book Club - Curtis Sittenfeld: Prep

Best-selling American author Curtis Sittenfeld discusses her acclaimed debut novel, Prep. Set in an exclusive boarding school in north-eastern America, Prep is an insightful, caustic and funny coming-of-age story and a savage dissection of class, race, and gender.

Clever, aspirational Lee Fiora is fourteen years old when her father drops her at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts that she has won a scholarship to. Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, she becomes a shrewd observer of, and ultimately a participant in, their snobby culture and rituals.

She forms intense friendships with other girls; complicated relationships with teachers and an all-consuming infatuation with a boy from the cool crowd, all of which leads to conflicts with her parents back home in the mid-West, from whom Lee feels increasingly distant.

Other novels about boarding schools mentioned in this programme include Make your Home among Strangers by Jennine Capó Crucet, Admissions: A Memoir of Surviving Boarding School by Kendra James and Black Ice by Lorene Cary.
