The Goods from the Woods - Episode #413 – “The Dogs of Society” with John-Michael Bond

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys welcome comedian and writer John-Michael Bond back to Disgraceland Studios to dig into a buffet of hilarious insanity. We start this one off by talking about the new Ben Shapiro feature on Tom MacDonald's song "Facts". It's stupid and horrible. We also check out Jake "Body By Jake" Steinfeld's energy drink called "Don't Quit" as well as his amazing 1980s album of workout songs and grunting. We take you through the story of a dumb ex-mobster who stole Judy Garland's "ruby slippers" from 'The Wizard of Oz' because he thought they were made out of real rubies as well as our Top 3 album titles and Steven Spielberg films. "Broken" by Seether and Amy Lee of Evanescence is our JAM OF THE WEEK!

The Stack Overflow Podcast - Agile works great…to a certain size

The estate of the late comedian George Carlin is suing the creators of an hour-long AI-generated comedy special that mimics Carlin’s distinctive delivery and material. [Ed. note: not actually AI, still lawsuit.]

Prefer your AI more Freudo-Marxist? Here’s a never-ending, AI-generated conversation between Werner Herzog and Slavoj Žižek. You’re welcome.

Google’s Bard surpassed GPT-4 to claim the second spot on the LMSYS Chatbot Arena Leaderboard.

Agile development is faltering at big companies, and a recent report cites developer burnout as a factor. But maybe the problem lies in companies’ (mis)understanding of agile.

Shoutout to Stack Overflow user Emil Laine, who earned a Lifeboat badge with their answer to How can I include all of the C++ Standard Library at once?.

Good Bad Billionaire - NR Narayana Murthy: India’s IT innovator

How NR Narayana Murthy, now known as the father-in-law of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, first became known as the father of India's IT boom.

Journalist Zing Tsjeng and BBC business editor Simon Jack explain how Murthy made Infosys, the technology company he founded with six friends and some cash borrowed from his wife, a world leader in outsourcing.

Simon and Zing reveal how 20th Century Indian politics, an early passion for computers, and a shocking experience behind the Iron Curtain all played a role in making Murthy spectacularly rich. Then they decide if he's good, bad, or just another billionaire.

We’d love to hear your feedback. Email goodbadbillionaire@bbc.com or drop us a text or WhatsApp to +1 (917) 686-1176.

The Gist - Paging Doctor Death

We're joined by the show runner of the Peacock series Dr. Death, Ashley Michel Hoban, to discuss why we are drawn to doctors who first do some harm. Lots of it in fact.  Plus, Nikki Haley just has no idea about any details of Donald Trump's Trials. And the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act is making progress, yet it feels like ghoulish wound-opening.


Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara

The Indicator from Planet Money - Are we overpaying for military equipment?

If the proposed defense budget is passed, it will account for roughly 3.5 % of U.S. GDP. The military buys everything from pens and paper clips to fighter jets and submarines. But the market for military equipment is very different from the commercial market. And sometimes the system results in the Pentagon, and taxpayers, overpaying. This week, we're bringing you a three-part series on the defense industry.

Today, we unpack how defense costs are getting so high and why it's happening.
