Abby Stern is very much looking forward to leading a biking trip from NYC to Niagara Falls – until her mom, an old one-night-stand, and some uneasy memories are added to the mix. In Jennifer Weiner's new novel, The Breakaway, that two-week trip becomes filled with tension: sexual, political, and familial. Weiner tells NPR's Juana Summers how different women manage their mothers' expectations, and how she learned to see "almond moms" quite differently while writing this novel.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: Friend.tech | The Legal and Tax Ins and Outs of This Year’s Hottest Crypto App
Friend.tech, a decentralized social media platform in which you can buy and sell “keys” in your friends on X (formerly known as Twitter) whose value can go up and down, has become a viral sensation, racking up as many as 100,000 users since launching on August 10.
Should keys be considered securities and thus regulated by the SEC? How should gains and losses be taxed? And how private should users assume their communications and transactions on the platform are? Securities and banking law professor at George Mason Law School JW Verret, and tax partner and co-head of the Digital Assets and Blockchain Practice at Fried, Frank Jason Schwartz, share their thoughts.
Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.

- How Friend.tech works and how the price of keys is determined
- How Friend.tech is different from many other past attempts at creating a decentralized social media platform

Time To Say Goodbye - Testing our politics through K-fine dining and “The Retrievals”
Hello from British Columbia!
This week, [4:15] we start with the latest concerning video of Mitch McConnell and whether the conversation around fitness for office can (and should) cut across party lines. [21:45] Next, we talk about the Korean fine-dining wave in NYC, the effect of soft power, and why you won’t see us at Naro anytime soon. [45:05] In our final segment, we discuss the Serial podcast “The Retrievals,” which explores questions of gendered pain and corrupt healthcare through the true stories of women deprived of pain medication during IVF. Jay takes us BTS of this caliber of narrative podcast.
In this episode, we ask:
Is it reasonable to expect basic verbal competency from our elected officials?
If you’re a leftist, are there some luxuries (like dining at $$$$$ restaurants) that should be off-limits? Or is that a needlessly moralistic stance?
Why is women’s pain continually dismissed, and what’s the right punishment for the infliction of non-lethal harm?
For more, see:
* The older and more recent videos of Mitch McConnell, and some doctors’ hypotheses about the cause
* Pete Wells’s article about How Korean Restaurants Remade Fine Dining in New York
* The Times investigation into A Deadly Epidural, Delivered by a Doctor With a History of Mistakes
* Books on pain and how it’s addressed: Sick: A Memoir, by Porochista Khakpour, and The Body in Pain, by Elaine Scarry
* Past TTSG episodes we refer to:
* A recent discussion on Asian food trends in the U.S., from June
* Lux magazine and lockdowns with Sarah Leonard, from December 2020
We’ll be off next week as our hosts attend to other business (their full-time jobs), but watch out for a non-audio note!

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S8 Bonus: David Hurwitt, Troove
David Hurwitt lives in Burlington, Vermont, and is a married father of 3. And, those kids hav already grown and flown, per Dave's words. Their journey out of the nest into college was a driver behind starting his current venture. Outside of current venture, he is an avid photographer and really enjoys taking pictures, but ensuring there is people in them - cause, he states it's just better that way.
Dave spent some time in college admissions in the past. And, as his kids grew up, he started to look into the process again. He found that when visiting a school in person, there wasn't solution that utilized preferences of the graduates, helping them identify patterns to help match them to their perfect school.
This is the creation story of Troove.
