The Best One Yet - 🧋 “Bubble Tea Bubble” — Boba’s breaking point. Apple’s Vision Pro secret. Norway’s phone-ban experiment.

Bubble Tea stocks are IPO’ing minting boba tea billionaires — But bubble tea is actually the perfect case study on a financial bubble… The Bubble Tea Bubble.

Apple just announced its worst earnings report we’ve ever seen — And we think we discovered its secret numbers on the Apple Vision Pro.

Norway banned smartphones in schools and we just got the experiment’s results — Turns out iPhones should be in lockers, not pockets.

Plus, one airport in Japan has a perfect record with bags — They’ve never lost a single suitcase in 36 years… and we’ll tell you how.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Three Mothers’ who paved the way for three extraordinary men

It's almost Mother's Day – so today, we learn about the women who raised some of history's most important men in The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped A Nation. Author Anna Malaika Tubbs told 1A's Jenn White that history is often told by and about men, but knowing these women's stories - "taking their lives from the margins and putting them in the center" - is just as important. As Tubbs notes, "If they'd never had these famous sons, they still were worthy of being seen."

Opening Arguments - Trump’s Attorney Fails To Impeach Witness So Badly He’s Forced To Apologize

OA1030: Trump Trial, Week 2, Part 2!

This episode centers around David Pecker's testimony and it's basically rock solid. Trump's attorneys are desperate, so Mr. Bove goes for the juggler! And then everyone has to explain it's actually "jugular" why in the world would you go for the "juggler?" Why would that be the idiom? In what world are jugglers like, crucial components of anything, at which you would want to go in order to really hurt someone or something? Maybe at circuses? They're arguably not even that important to circuses though, don't they just mess around in between way better acts to try to distract the audience a little?

I just want to assure people that Matt had nothing to do with these show notes. He hasn't had a stroke or anything, don't worry. It's just that I, Thomas, now answer to NO ONE when it comes to Opening Arguments because.... SURPRISE SHOW NOTES ANNOUNCEMENT Andrew is completely out of OA! The legal bull shit is over! More details inside!

Consider This from NPR - NASA chief is worried about China getting back to the moon first

On Friday, China launched its Chang'e-6 mission carrying a probe to the far side of the moon to gather samples and bring them back to Earth. If successful, it would be a first, for any country.

The race to get astronauts back on the moon is in full swing. The U.S. has serious competition. China wants to put astronauts on the moon by 2030. Other countries are in the race, too.

If the U.S. stays on schedule it will get humans back on the moon before anyone else, as part of NASA's Artemis program. That's a big if. But NASA is making progress.

The space agency's making a bit of a bet, and mostly relying on private companies, mainly Elon Musk's SpaceX .

With limited resources and facing a more crowded field, it's unclear if the U.S. will dominate space as it once did.

Host Scott Detrow talks to NASA Administrator Bill Nelson about what he is doing to try to keep the U.S. at the front of the race back to the moon.
