The Best One Yet - 🧃 “The 1st Fruit Juice” — Capri Sun’s pouches. Intel’s design strategy. Boar’s Head’s Boeing Moment.

Capri Sun is adding bottles to compliment their legendary pouches… but this German company’s origin story is wild.

Intel stock fell to its lowest level in 11 years, so it’s thinking of breaking itself up… and it’s inspired by Nike.

Boar’s Head deli meats caused the biggest listeria outbreak in decades… It’s their “Boeing Moment.”

Plus, on your 1st day back to the office, there’s 1 big question… Can you wear shorts?

Short Wave - Are You Overestimating The Algorithm?

Humans hallucinate. Algorithms lie.

At least, that's one difference that Joy Buolamwini and Kyle Chayka want to make clear. When ChatGPT tells you that a book exists when it doesn't – or professes its undying love – that's often called a "hallucination." Buolamwini, a computer scientist, prefers to call it "spicy autocomplete." But not all algorithmic errors are as innocuous. So today's show, we get into: How do algorithms work? What are their impacts? And how can we speak up about changing them?

This is a shortened version of Joy and Kyle's live interview, moderated by Regina G. Barber, at this year's Library of Congress National Book Festival.

The Daily Signal - Why You’re Wrong to Think Civil War Can’t Happen Here

Demographer, historian, and author Neil Howe hasn't just coined the term “Millennial,” he's also predicted the future to an eerie degree—and he thinks America's in for very rough seas ahead. He says a civil war in the U.S. is far more plausible than most people think, and he dismisses the reasons Americans often discount that possibility.

Howe sits down with The Daily Signal's managing editor, Tyler O'Neil, to talk about his generational theory, his books, and why he thinks a civil war in the U.S. is indeed possible, if not likely.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Instrumentalist’ is a story about music, imagination and Anna Maria della PietĂ 

Harriet Constable learned a lot about the real life of Anna Maria della Pietà — that she grew up in an orphanage, that she was a star violinist and a favored student of Antonio Vivaldi. But in her new novel, The Instrumentalist, Constable also merges fact with fiction to tell the story of Anna Maria's synesthesia and musical talents. In today's episode, she speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about Anna Maria's life, the challenges and excitement of the classical music world at the time, and what we make of Vivaldi today.

1A - The Past, Present, And Future Of Our Favorite Bookstores

You're listening to a public radio show. There's a good chance you're into books and the stores that sell them.

And what's not to love? There might be few greater joys in life than a warm drink, a kind clerk with good recs, and the scent of freshly printed pages wafting through the air.

But in the age of the internet (and especially of Amazon) the future of the world's independent book sellers looks murky. But not hopeless.

We discuss what the future holds for these brick and mortar institutions.
