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.

NBN Book of the Day - Jacqueline Kennelly, “Burnt by Democracy: Youth, Inequality, and the Erosion of Civic Life” (U Toronto Press, 2023)

Burnt by Democracy: Youth, Inequality, and the Erosion of Civic Life (University of Toronto Press, 2023) by Dr. Jacqueline Kennelly traces the political ascendance of neoliberalism and its effects on youth. The book explores democracy and citizenship as described in interviews with over forty young people – ages 16 to 30 – who have either experienced homelessness or identify as an activist, living in five liberal democracies: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Highlighting significant cuts to social and affordable housing, astronomical increases in the costs of higher education, and the transformation and erosion of state benefits systems, Dr. Kennelly argues that democracy’s decline is not occurring because young people are apathetic, or focused on informal politics, or unaware of their civic duties. Rather, it is because of collective misunderstanding about how democracy is actually structured, how individuals learn to participate, and how growing wealth inequality has undermined the capacity of those at the bottom to meaningfully advocate for changes that might improve their conditions.

Against a vivid and often heart-breaking backdrop of stories from young people struggling to survive and thrive under conditions of ever-expanding state retrenchment and inequality, Burnt by Democracy makes a timely and impassioned plea for protecting and strengthening democracy by truly levelling the playing field for all.


This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Daylight Savings (Encore)

Every year, around this time, people who live in northern latitude countries turn their clocks ahead one hour. Then, months later, we do the exact same thing in reverse, setting all of our clocks back. 

Why do we do this? Is there a good reason for it? Should we continue to do it?

What A Day - Are Primaries What’s Wrong with American Politics?

Primaries elections are good, right? It’s how we hold the party accountable and raise up progressives! It turns out there’s more to the story.

This week on “How We Got Here,” Max and Erin explore how party primaries have led to the success of more extreme candidates, the passage of fewer polices, and an increase in American polarization. From the Tea Party and Ron Paul to decidedly not "tea" parties with Texas House Speakers, this week’s episode probes the dangers of primaries, and why the U.S. seems to be the last country in the world to catch on.
