The Bulwark Podcast - Greg Lukianoff: The Canceling of the American Mind

When Gen Z began attending college and demanding protection from speech, the left argued that cancel culture was a myth. But now that the anti-Zionism bias on campus is clear, consequence culture suddenly feels very real. Greg Lukianoff joins Charlie Sykes.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: A 20+ Year Sentence? Why the Evidence Against SBF Was Too Hard to Overcome

A defense lawyer and a former prosecutor discuss what SBF’s likely sentence will be, the defense’s hope for an appeal, and whether the government will pursue the second trial.


In this episode of Unchained, Laura does a detailed unpacking of the historic Sam Bankman-Fried trial and verdict with defense lawyer Sam Enzer and former Southern District of New York prosecutor Rich Cooper. They discuss what a thorough job the government did in presenting its case, whether the government will pursue a second trial on campaign finance charges, why it takes so long for sentencing to occur, what the differences between this case and the Bernie Madoff case are, and what Bankman-Fried’s likely sentence will be. 

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.

Show highlights | 

  • How the cross-examination of SBF showed to the jury that he was unreliable, according to Rich
  • Why the charge conference with the jury is important to the prosecution for “protecting the record”
  • Why the closing argument of the prosecutors was so effective 
  • What “conscious avoidance” is and how the prosecutors tried to prove that SBF was guilty of that
  • Why SBF’s tweet last November that  "FTX is fine" was the hardest part of the trial for the defense, according to Enzer
  • Why Enzer wasn’t surprised by how quickly the jury made its decision 
  • What SBF’s strongest argument is for an appeal
  • Why Enzer "hopes" that there won't be a second trial against SBF and whether he will plead guilty to the additional charges
  • Why the sentencing occurs so many months after the verdict
  • How this case is similar, but also different, from the Bernie Madoff case
  • How many years SBF could spend in prison, according to Enzer and Cooper
  • When cooperating witnesses such as Caroline Ellison, Nishad Singh, and Gary Wang are likely to get sentenced

Time To Say Goodbye - What can be questioned within Israel, with Tania Hary

This week, we are joined by Tania Hary, the executive director of Gisha (“access”), an Israeli legal organization that fights for the freedom of movement of Palestinians. [2:25] We discuss the restrictive status quo that was in place long before October 7, in which Israel controlled travel in and out of the occupied territories, the flow of goods and food into Gaza, and the Census-like registry of the Palestinian population (that is implicated in the questioning of Gazan fatalities). [30:45] Tania explains how political repression and compulsory military service convince many Israelis that theirs is the “most moral army in the world.”

In this episode, we ask: 

How are Israelis consuming images from and narratives about Gaza? 

What does it mean for politicians and media to dispute information, namely death counts, coming from sources in a besieged Gaza? 

What does this war reveal about the world order, humanitarian law, and human rights

For more, see: 

* A recent press conference on how to report accurately on Gaza, featuring Tania

* Reporting from Haaretz on the backlash against Arab Israelis

* Tania’s testimony before the UN Security Council earlier this year

* Protesters braving it in Tel Aviv this past week

Being Roman with Mary Beard - 6. Love in the Borderlands

At the very edge of Empire, inscribed on a beautifully carved tombstone, there’s a story of love across the tracks. On Hadrian’s Wall a slave girl from Hertfordshire and a lonely traveller from Syria meet and marry. The story of Regina and Barates has inspired poets and writers eager for a simple love story to illuminate a dark and dangerous world. But how true might this be? What brought this couple together across cultures and thousands of miles? Was their alliance true love or forced marriage?

Mary Beard tracks our couple from Palmyra to South Shields, revealing the cultural mix of the Empire and the power dynamics of slave and master with the help of Syrian poet, Nouri Al-Jarrah.

Producer: Alasdair Cross

Expert Contributors: Greg Woolf, University of California Los Angeles and Frances McIntosh, English Heritage

Cast: John Collingwood Bruce played by Josh Bryant-Jones and reading of The Stone Serpent by Tyler Cameron
