The Gist - BEST OF THE GIST: Unusual Protest Methods Edition

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, a podcast extra from our Thursday conversation with Sir David King, formerly the UK's Government Chief Scientific Adviser, who is now the Founder and Chair at Cambridge's Center for Climate Repair. Mike just had to ask him about climate activists who glue themselves to pieces of famous art. Then we listen back to our 2019 interview with writer Katy Lederer about Greta Thunberg, an activist unlike any we had seen before. Never glued herself, though.

The Best One Yet - BONUS 💤 “Stock Market Snooze Pod” — We read Amazon’s 1st shareholder letter from 1997… to put you to sleep 😴

Since we all lose an hour of sleep during Daylight Savings this weekend, we whipped up a special podcast to help you fall asleep: We read the first shareholder letter from Amazon’s 1997 annual report. Of all the corporate reports out there, this one is fascinating — Jeff Bezos illustrates the master plan that he would spend the next 25 years executing on. But it’s still a corporate report, so you’ll drift off somewhere between the 4th and 7th time Bezos mentions “relentless customer focus.” This is the first ever… Stock Market Snooze Pod: The Sleepiest One Yet.
