Meanwhile, evidence of his election interference in 2016 piles up in New York. Ben Wittes and Eric Cortellessa join Tim Miller.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - MARKETS DAILY: Crypto Update | Slowing Inflows of ETF Investments – the Evergreen Story of Crypto
The latest price moves and insights with Jenn Sanasie and General Partner at Dragonfly Tom Schmidt.
To get the show every day, follow the podcast here.
On "Markets Daily," Tom Schmidt, General Partner at Dragonfly, discusses market pricing, indicating a 0% probability of a rate cut in June. He and Sanasie delve into the disappointing performance of Hong Kong ETFs compared to US ETFs, highlighting the former's role as an accessible vehicle for Bitcoin investment endorsed by regulators. Despite Hong Kong's crypto-friendly environment, ETF inflows are slowing in both Hong Kong and the US, with investors shifting towards lower-cost options to reduce fees and improve returns. The conversation anticipates a potentially more hawkish tone from the upcoming Fed meeting but remains optimistic about controlling inflation. They also touch on conflicting views regarding inflation and rate cuts, noting external pressures favoring lower rates to stimulate the economy.

Song Exploder - Arooj Aftab – Mohabbat
One of the songs I keep coming back to is “Mohabbat” by Arooj Aftab. It’s really special to me. I listen to it all the time. I’ve been listening to it so often that I wanted to revisit Arooj's episode about it. In the time since the episode has come out, she has released a collaborative album with Vijay Iyer and Shahzad Ismaily called Love In Exile, which got two Grammy nominations. And she has a new album that’s about to come out on May 31st, called Night Reign. Here’s her episode:
Arooj Aftab is a singer and composer based in Brooklyn. She grew up in Saudi Arabia, but her family is from Pakistan. And earlier this year, she made history by becoming the first Pakistani artist to win a Grammy. Her song, “Mohabbat" won the Best Global Music Performance Grammy, and she was nominated for Best New Artist. "Mohabbat" was first released on her 2021 album, Vulture Prince, but it’s been a part of Arooj’s life for a long time . In this episode, she tells the story of how the song was first born, and how it lived with her and evolved over the years before she finally recorded it.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - What was Operation Northwoods?
How far would you go in pursuit of a Greater Good? How much evil would you permit -- how many crimes would you commit -- if you believed the result was beneficial to the world overall? These are the kind of questions the US government wrestled with at the height of the Cold War, when they considered launching a number of false flag and terror campaigns to shore up support for a hot war with Cuba. Join Ben, Matt and Noel to learn more.

Momala, Extreme fishing, the SATs, the protests and much more.
Hello!
This week we revived a TTSG tradition of answering your questions on the air. Topics covered range from why Tyler puts on a wetsuit and swims out to rocks to fish for striped bass, the rise in extreme sports, why standardized tests are actually good, the state of the student protests going forward and our worries about state repression, and Jerry Seinfeld complaining that all sitcoms are too woke.
(One note, we recorded this yesterday morning before the NYPD crackdown at Columbia and CCNY. We included a short note at the start of the episode.)
Enjoy!
