The Gist - Liberalism As A Way Of Life

In the United States, as well as in many other English-speaking nations, “liberal” is a label with much political baggage. But “liberalism” is a much broader idea. It’s the belief that living in a society that values civil liberties, democracy, free enterprise, and individual rights is the foundation of modern life, and Alexandre Lefebvre believes it’s a good life. He’s written about it in his new book, Liberalism As A Way Of Life. Also on the show, Mike airs his technology-related grievances.

You're Wrong About - Lawrence v. Texas Part 2 with Marcus McCann

"Times can blind us to certain truths and later generations can see that laws once thought necessary and proper in fact serve only to oppress. As the Constitution endures, persons in every generation can invoke its principles in their own search for greater freedom." 

— Justice Anthony Kennedy 

This week, Marcus McCann brings us to the end of our story of a few good men who challenged Texas' anti-sodomy law, and ended up changing the law of the land—and we ask what becomes of the people who bring the rest of us closer to freedom.

Dale Carpenter's book Flagrant Conduct: The Story of Lawrence v. Texas

Science In Action - Historic weather extremes revealed using tree-rings

Valerie Trouet of the University of Arizona tells us how tree-ring data has been used to show how the jet stream has shaped extreme weather in Europe for centuries, influencing harvests, wildfires and epidemics.

Monash University’s Andy Tomkins discusses how, around 460 million years ago, the Earth was briefly encircled by a ring of dust – like Saturn is today, and that the resulting temporary astronomical shade may have cooled the planet. Andy proposes that this dust came from an asteroid which had a close encounter with our planet.

And the cell biology of choking on your drink with Laura Seeholzer from the University of California, San Francisco. Laura has won the 2024 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology recognising her work on the discovery of how neuroendocrine cells protect our airways.

Presenter: Roland Pease Producer: Jonathan Blackwell Production co-ordinator: Andrew Rhys Lewis

Lost Debate - Eric Adams Indicted: What’s Next?

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted Wednesday evening on five federal charges, including wire fraud, bribery, and solicitation of contributions from a foreign national. Ravi unpacks the 57-page indictment, which details allegations that Adams solicited and directed staffers to accept campaign donations from foreign officials and businesspeople over nearly a decade while receiving gifts, including free luxury international travel, in exchange for political favors.

Bradley Tusk then joins Ravi to analyze the charges and preview what New Yorkers can expect in the weeks ahead. They discuss the prosecutorial motives behind the case, why some conservatives claim the indictment is part of a conspiracy and some progressives want to shout “I told you so,” whether Adams should resign, and how his legal troubles could impact New York City’s upcoming mayoral race.
