The Commentary Magazine Podcast - The Wobbly Clock is Ticking

Eli Lake joins the podcast to talk about the fecklessness of the Biden administration and how that may have given Iran a sense it could act with impunity—and whether, once again, America will go wobbly when it comes to Israel defending itself. Only this time, will Bibi Netanyahu's country allow its leaders to go wobbly in response? Give a listen.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Big Myth’ breaks down pro-market, anti-government propaganda in the U.S.

The Big Myth, a new book co-written by Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway, details the rise of free market capitalism in the 19th century and its long-lasting impact on American democracy. In today's episode, Oreskes speaks with Here & Now's Scott Tong about how Little House on the Prairie, union busting, and Ronald Reagan all played a role in diminishing government regulation – and how the effects of that policy and pop culture campaign can still be seen in today's housing crisis and COVID-19 response.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S8 E26: Josh Purvis, Assembly

Josh Purvis grew up in Missouri, on a lake in the Ozarks. He spent most of his time outdoors, and became a professional wakeboarder. Eventually, an injury took him out of the circuit and he went to entertainment school. During his time there, he and his roommate built a website - and he has been into tech ever since. Outside of tech, he reads a ton, owning about 400-500 books, and enjoys street tacos, wings, and a good plate of pasta.

In the past, Josh and his current co-founder started to discuss employment engagement. They also noticed that sharing information across a large company was, well - inefficient, with many points of failure. On the side, they started building something that would improve both of these areas together.

This is the creation story of Assembly.

Take This Pod and Shove It - Pop Goes the Country Artist, with Danii Gallegos

It's a tale as old as time (or at least as old as the 1970's): a country artist garners enough crossover appeal that they make the deliberate switch to Pop Music. Some artists return to their roots, some fizzle out, and others become the biggest touring acts on the planet. This week we are joined by comedy producer Danii Gallegos (We Still Like You) to discuss the Marren Morris's controversial statement on why she's leaving country to join forces with Jack Antonoff, plus who else has successfully left country for greener (more lucrative) pastures.
