Lost Debate - Thoughts on the Protests + Weinstein and Cell Phone Debate

Ravi kicks off the show by tackling three of the week’s biggest breaking news stories: what TikTok’s future in the U.S. looks like after President Biden signed legislation that will ban or force a sale of the platform, the rationale behind the New York Court of Appeals’ decision to overturn Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 sex crimes conviction, and what to know about the pro-Palestine protests that have erupted on college campuses across the country.

Ravi then welcomes Keri Rodrigues, co-founder and founding president of the National Parents Union and co-host of The National Parents Union Podcast. Keri and Ravi discuss the impact of Moms for Liberty, what Gen Z’s future looks like, and why there’s so much debate around whether students should be allowed to have their phones with them during school.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - How One Chicagoan Modernized Her Great-Great-Great Grandfather’s Pre-Prohibition Pale Ale

Laurin Mack loves Chicago and loves beer. So maybe it was inevitable that she would go on to tap into her great-great-great grandfather’s brewing legacy, and share his story of the beers that “built Chicago.” She re-opened the Conrad Seipp Brewing Company in 2020, and began the process of excavating the recipe for his pre-Prohibition pale ale. Several years, and two styles of beer later, you can now purchase Seipp beer at select Binny’s and Jewel locations. Reset sat down with Mack to learn more about “the beer that built Chicago” and the process of re-creating the past for the present moment. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

Science In Action - An armada for asteroid Apophis?

Friday, April 13th 2029 – mark it in your calendar. That’s the day an asteroid the size of an aircraft carrier will fly past Earth, closer than some satellites. Don’t worry – it will miss, but it’ll will pass so close to Earth that it will be visible to the naked eye of 2 billion people, particularly in North Africa and Western Europe.

Roland Pease this week attended the Apophis T-5 Years conference at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands, meeting astronomers scrambling to get missions up to the object to learn what kind of threats such asteroids might pose to us in the future and to discuss the science of planetary defence.

NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX, a follow-on to OSIRIS-REx, will study the physical changes due to the gravitational forces from the Earth as it closely passes us by. But will there be an armada of spacecraft sent to monitor Apophis? The European Space Agency hope to gather support for their own mission, RAMSES.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Work. Crunch. Repeat: Why gaming demands so much of its employees

Employees at video game companies are known for working long hours to meet product launch deadlines. This pressure, known in the industry as crunch, has only gotten more intense as games have grown more complex. Mounting layoffs in the growing industry have only made things worse on the labor front, inspiring some workers to take matters into their own hands.

Today, in the next installment of our series on the business of video games, we speak to several workers in the industry about their experiences with crunch and why they feel unionization is the key to preserving their careers.

The latest price moves and insights with Helene Braun and Laurence Latimer, Founder and CEO of Dinara.


To get the show every day, follow the podcast here.

On "Markets Daily," Laurence Latimer, Founder and CEO of Dinara, discusses the recent significant drop in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices overnight. Despite this, positive strides are seen in the regulatory landscape for crypto, particularly in the US and UK where proposed bills and regulations are emerging. However, there's a clear call for greater collaboration between regulators and the industry. Key regulatory developments to monitor include the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, stablecoin legislation, and enforcement actions. Additionally, there's an exploration into the possibility of traditional financial markets adopting a 24/7 schedule akin to crypto markets.

Takeaways | 

  • Crypto markets are volatile, and price drops are common, but the cause of the recent drop is unclear.
  • Positive regulatory landscape developments include bills and regulations in the US and UK.
  • Collaboration between regulators and the industry is needed for greater clarity and support for the crypto industry.
  • Financial institutions incorporate digital assets into their workflows, signaling increased institutional adoption.
  • The designation of Ether as a security could impact businesses relying on the Ethereum ecosystem.
  • The potential for traditional financial markets to operate on a 24/7 schedule, like crypto markets, is being explored.
