Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - WBEZ’s Weekly News Recap: Aug. 9, 2024

What happened this week? Well, Kamala Harris tapped a Midwesterner to join the top of the Democratic ticket – and it wasn’t JB Pritzker. After breaking a long losing streak, the Chicago White Sox also lost manager Pedro Grifol. And on its 20th anniversary, we remember the Dave Matthews Band and “poopgate.” Reset digs into those stories and more in the Weekly News Recap. Our panel this week: Mitchell Armentrout, Chicago Sun-Times government and politics reporter, Kim Bellware, Washington Post national and breaking news reporter, and Michael Puente, WBEZ reporter and Sunday anchor.

The Journal. - Will Tracking Cocoa Beans Help Save the Rainforest?

The world’s rainforests have shrunk dramatically in recent decades due to the expansion of land for growing cash crops, like cocoa. The European Union is trying to limit destruction with a new law which aims to track where cocoa is grown. Farmers who want to sell to Europe— the world’s largest cocoa market— are racing to meet the law's requirements, or lose out. WSJ’s Alexandra Wexler details how the law will impact millions of cocoa farmers in West Africa.

CrowdScience - How do fish survive in the deep ocean?

When listener Watum heard about the Titan submersible implosion in the news in 2023, a question popped up in his mind: if a machine that we specifically built for this purpose cannot sustain the water pressure of the deep ocean, how do fish survive down there?

In this episode, we travel with marine biologist Alan Jamieson to the second deepest place in our oceans: the Tonga trench. Meanwhile, presenter Caroline Steel speaks to Edie Widder about the creatures that illuminate our oceans, and travels to Copenhagen to take a closer look one of the strangest deep sea creatures and its deep sea adaptations.

But even fish have their limits! Scientist Paul Yancey correctly predicted the deepest point that fish can live, and it all comes down to one particular molecule.

So is there anything living beyond these depths? Well, there is only one way to find out…

Contributors: Prof Alan Jamieson, University of Western Australia Luke Siebermaier, Submersible Team Leader, Inkfish Dr Edie Widder, Ocean Research & Conservation Association Peter Rask Møller, Natural History Museum of Denmark Prof Paul Yancey, Whitman College

Presenter: Caroline Steel Producer: Florian Bohr Editor: Martin Smith & Cathy Edwards Production Co-ordinator: Ishmael Soriano Studio Manager: Steve Greenwood

1A - The News Roundup For August 9, 2024

The candidates in the 2024 election are finally clear. Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will be the Democratic candidates.

The stock market tumbled on Monday. The S&P fell over 3 percent in a single day. There has been, however, a slight rebound as the week has continued.

Meanwhile, overseas, Israel is bracing for expected retaliation from Iran and its proxies following the assassinations of a senior Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran and a senior Hezbollah leader, Fuad Shukur, in Lebanon late last month.

This week, an extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation was held in the Saudi port city of Jeddah. More than 50 members of Muslim-majority nations met to discuss the killings.

The global economy has been unstable this week. But nowhere more so than Japan, where the stock market plummeted by 12 percent on Monday. It was the worst single day since 1987.

We cover all this and more during our News Roundup.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: How Crypto Markets Are Reacting Post-Selloff, With Election/Fed Uncertainty Ahead

Jason Pagoulatos, head of markets at Delphi Digital, explains why crypto markets rebounded quickly from the rout this week, why ETH has underperformed BTC and SOL in 2024, and how Fed and election uncertainty might affect crypto.


After the unwinding of the Japan carry trade, the weak jobs report, and Jump’s dumping of ETH slammed crypto prices earlier this week, Jason Pagoulatos, head of markets at Delphi Digital, gives his insights on where prices are headed. He explains why he thinks Ethereum has underperformed so far in 2024, how the ETH ETFs might impact the price as outflows from Grayscale’s ETHE dwindle, and how the election, moves by the Fed, and the adoption of Bitcoin ETFs by Morgan Stanley advisors will affect BTC. 

Show highlights:

  • Why the markets have rebounded since the weekend selloff
  • The role of Jump in the ETH selloff and why ETH has been underperforming so much this year
  • Whether Grayscale’s ETHE slowing down the outflows will reverse the trend for ETH
  • Why Jason believes that investment advisors will continue to push bitcoin to their clients
  • How the macroeconomic environment is affecting crypto prices now and the impact in the near future
