Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Take A Guided Soundwalk!

Next time you’re on a walk, try leaving your phone and headphones at home and make what’s happening around you your next playlist. This is something called a soundwalk. People can be guided through a soundwalk to slow down, become more present and begin to notice and pay attention to the interplay of sounds happening around us. To learn more about this practice and how to try it this summer, Reset spoke to Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology’s Eric Leonardson, Summer Soundwalk Series’ Paige Naylor and artist Hai-Wen Lin. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Has the Fed lost the dot plot?

The Federal Reserve introduced a visual tool called the "dot plot" in 2012 to communicate where officials think interest rates should be in the coming years. The dot plot is eagerly dissected by Fed watchers looking for insight on future policy, but others think that the dot plot has become a visual example of just how little the Fed can predict where the economy is going.

Today on the show, we decode the dot plot and hear why some think that the Federal Reserve's artistic exercise should be scrapped altogether.

The Federal Reserve's latest dot plot (page 4)

The Gist - Flooding the Dumb Zone

Dallas sports talk hosts Dan McDowell and Jake Kemp left their station and started a podcast, The Dumb Zone, and, in doing so, they became something of a test case (or maybe "poster guys") for the new Federal Trade Commission rule banning noncompete clauses. The fight for sports talk freedom and Luca Donic discussions ensue. Plus, Joey Chestnut shut up and shut out of Nathan's. And what New York's last minute fold on congestion pricing says about toughness.

There are fears of a second full-on war igniting on Israel's northern border. Hezbollah, the group based in Lebanon and backed by Iran, has been trading fire with Israeli forces across the Israel-Lebanon border since Israel's conflict with Hamas began last October. Those exchanges of fire have hit new peaks recently. We hear from two NPR correspondents who each visited a side of that border.

Consider This from NPR - What a second Biden or Trump presidency could mean for American allies and foes

America is facing two very different futures on the world stage after November.

If former President Trump wins, he's promised to fundamentally re-evaluate the NATO alliance, reshape global trade and overhaul the Pentagon, State Department and intelligence agencies.

He's largely avoided explaining how he'd handle the conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, yet says he can settle the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.

Meanwhile, if President Biden wins, he's signaled his commitment to fight global threats to peace and freedom, and he's vowed to continue to help Ukraine and Israel fight in their respective wars.
