The Mango Tree kicks off with a phone call: Journalist Annabelle Tometich is informed her mom has been arrested for shooting a man, with a BB gun, who was trying to take mangoes from her yard. What follows is a memoir about a rich but turbulent upbringing in a half-white, half-Filipino family in Fort Myers, Florida. In today's episode, NPR's Scott Simon asks Tometich about the moment she realized the violence in her household wasn't normal, and what that mango tree represented for her immigrant mother.

Bad Faith - Episode 379 Promo – The Hills Have Lies

In her first interview after being fired from The Hill Briahna Joy Gray sits down with the co-hosts of Due Dissidence, Keaton Weiss and Russell Dobular, to discuss the long trajectory of attacks from Rep. Ritchie Torres and others that have led to Briahna's dismissal for pro-Palestine speech. This censorship has been a long time coming, and the attacks have escalated since Briahna attended a "Dissident Dialogue" conference early last month, which was clipped and circulated about a week before her ouster in a failed attempt at getting her canceled. Russell attended that conference, and he gives a firsthand account of his experience in the audience and from subsequent interviews with the staff that put together the event.
This is a comprehensive, raw account of what happened -- recorded within 24 hours of Briahna receiving the news that she'd been canceled.
This was not about an eye roll.

The Journal. - Trillion Dollar Shot, Episode 4: The Disruptors
The rising popularity of GLP-1 drugs could cause all kinds of ripple effects.
According to one estimate, 9% of the U.S. population could be on Ozempic or similar medications by 2030. Meanwhile, drugmakers are already developing the next generation of weight-loss drugs and researchers are studying the possible health benefits beyond weight loss and diabetes, including addiction.
In the final episode of our series we ask: What could all this development mean for businesses, from the food sector to airlines? And who wins and who loses in the post-Ozempic economy?
Guests include: David Ricks, CEO of Eli Lilly; and Mehdi Farokhnia, an addiction researcher at the National Institutes of Health.
Listen to Episodes 1, 2 and 3 of “Trillion Dollar Shot” here.
