The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Making Resolutions Fun – How to Be a Better Human in 2025

The new year is often a time when people think about what they want to improve about themselves — in other words, how to be a better human.

Chris Duffy interviews experts on a wide range of topics, getting their best strategies for improving the lives of ordinary people. We’re having a light-hearted discussion about what it means to be a “better human," how to make New Year’s resolutions in a way that will take the pressure off (so maybe they’ll actually stick), and so much more.

Join us again for our 10-minute daily news roundups every Mon-Fri!

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - John Roberts’ New Year Blame Game

Happy (?) New Year. Amicus is gingerly stepping into 2025 and into the coming onslaught of Trump 2.0 with one of the country’s very best legal, constitutional and human guides –– civil rights litigator and 14th Amendment scholar Sherrilyn Ifill. Together, Sherrilyn and Dahlia navigate some of the most pressing questions facing the law, the legal profession, and those who care about it. In his end of year judicial report, Chief Justice John Roberts chose to claim the mantle of both embattled civil rights champions and also infallible monarchs while blaming pretty much everyone except the court for the high court’s plummeting legitimacy. What does it mean when the most powerful men in the world equate all criticism with threats of violence, and confuse victory with victimhood? What does it mean when Supreme Court justices decide to freelance and freestyle as trial court judges and appellate litigators at high court oral arguments? And what do lawyers and judges need to do to hold the line in the coming year, and the years that will follow?

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Vikings

One of the most feared groups of people from the 8th to the 11th centuries was the Vikings.

The Vikings stuck fear into the hearts of people all around coastal Europe. They could appear like a bolt out of the blue to raid and pillage villages.

Yet the Vikings were more than mindless pillagers. They were also explorers and traders and had a much more vibrant culture than how they appeared in popular culture.

Learn more about the Vikings and how they impacted the course of civilization on his episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
