Slate Books - ICYMI: How a Substack Revived the Dracula Fandom

On today’s episode, Rachelle Hampton and Candice Lim talk to writer Cyrena Touros about Dracula Daily, a newsletter that emails bite-sized passages from Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel to more than 235,000 readers. As an epistolary novel, Dracula is broken into letters written between May and November. Dracula Daily emails those letters to readers, who have now created a book club-like fandom rife with memes and sidebars about a guy stuck in a vampire’s castle.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: SBF’s Lawyers Could Be Annoying the Judge | How Might That Impact the Trial?

Sam Enzer, partner at Cahill Gordon & Reindel, and Brian Klein, partner at Waymaker, discuss the strategies that the defense and prosecution appear to be using, and why the testimonies from FTX software developer Adam Yedidia, FTX cofounder Gary Wang, and others to come will be so damaging for the defense.


The first week of the criminal trial of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has come to a close, with his former friends and FTX colleagues Adam Yedidia and Gary Wang delivering powerful testimonies that are forming the foundations for the prosecution’s arguments — arguments that the defense may have a difficult time surmounting. Sam Enzer, partner at Cahill Gordon & Reindel, and Brian Klein, partner at Waymaker, discuss Alameda’s special privileges coded into the FTX software, the reason why a scorched FTX customer may have been chosen as the first witness, and why upcoming key witnesses are going to be a “real problem” for the defense.


Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast platform.


Show highlights | 

  • What we learned about the prosecution and defense’s strategies after the first week of the trial
  • How the jury being mostly non-finance professionals may impact deliberations
  • Why Brian believes someone “out of the mainstream” would make an ideal juror for the defense
  • Why Sam believes the defense’s opening was stronger than the prosecution’s
  • Which arguments may be the most difficult for Sam Bankman-Fried's lawyers to defend
  • Why the defense’s “building a plane as you’re flying” analogy may come back to hurt them in closing
  • Why Sam believes the order of the witness testimony so far is helping the prosecution build the foundation of its case
  • Whether Adam Yedidia’s testimony was effective at establishing him as a credible witness
  • Whether the fact that some witnesses are cooperating to avoid prison time will impact the jury’s decision
  • What Gary Wang, former CTO of FTX, revealed about Alameda's special privileges coded into FTX software and how it wasn’t an “oversight”
  • Whether Judge Kaplan is growing impatient with the defense
  • Whether the prosecution's objections were sustained reasonably by Judge Kaplan
  • Why upcoming insider witnesses pose a “real problem” to the defense
  • Why Gary Wang, Nishad Sigh, and Caroline Ellison could very well serve no prison time
  • Why it's "not even an open question" that the defense team will appeal if they lose the case

Time To Say Goodbye - Judging Laphonza Butler and the Democrats’ record on labor

Hello from yet another devastating news week! 

[0:30] We begin by addressing Hamas’s recent attack on Israel, to which Netanyahu responded with a declaration of war. (We’ll have an area expert on the show next week to talk about all this at greater length.) [12:10] In the second half of the episode, we discuss the new U.S. Senator from California, Laphonza Butler, and how her appointment by Gavin Newsom (following Dianne Feinstein’s death) factors into next year’s race for that seat. We explore the organizer-to-politician career path and ponder how labor-y a labor candidate has to be. 

In this episode, we ask: 

What would unbiased media coverage of Israel/Palestine actually look like? 

Has the (online) left overcorrected on identity politics and started to judge “diverse” figures too harshly? 

For more, see: 

* More on where Laphonza Butler fits into the California Senate race and her labor-world connections 

* An excerpt from Regarding the Pain of Others, by Susan Sontag

* Manufacturing Consent, by Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman
