The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Bad Deal
The details of the ceasefire/hostage negotiations in Doha between Israel and Hamas are not viewed favorably on today's podcast, to put it mildly, and suggest there may be danger ahead when it comes to the Trump administration and what it's willing to do to claim successes. And we also view unfavorably Jack Smith's report on how, yeah, he woulda gotten Trump convicted if it weren't for you meddling voters! Give a listen.

Native America Calling - Tuesday, January 14, 2025 – Ringing in the Orthodox New Year in Alaska
The Orthodox New Year in Alaska is a mix of seal meat, tea cakes, and Alaska Native and Slavonic languages. It’s a cultural blend more than 150 years after Russia formally withdrew from what would become America’s 49th state. In that time, the Orthodox Christian customs continued to flourish and merged with Native traditions. In many ways, they are more established than in their home country, which saw religious persecution during the time of the Soviet Union. We’ll hear from Alaska Native adherents of Russian Orthodox Christianity about how they’re welcoming the New Year on January 14. CBS News Roundup - 01/14/2025 | World News Roundup

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Why Are Some Health Insurers Denying Treatment After It’s Working?
Some insurers are denying mental health treatment when they deem the patient has started to improve. A ProPublica investigation shows that the level of improvement is hard to measure, and the guidelines insurers are using to make these decisions do not always match mental health providers’ standards of care.
Reset gets the story from ProPublica reporter Duaa Eldeib.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S10 E15: Hannes Lenke, Checkly
Hannes Lenke was born in East Germany. He started tinkering with computers at an early age, and became interested in making games at the age of 10. Once the browsers came out, he quickly dove into the world of web development. He also has a background in trading stocks, which he started when he was 14, along with software development consulting for enterprise. Outside of tech, he's married with 2 daughters. He lives in a small town close to Berlin, and enjoys running, rowing, and cooking out on his grill.
In 2010, Hannes founded a startup centered around testing. Post exit, he noticed that more and more businesses were using end to end testing... AND, the world was changing toward devops and observability. He decided that a new tool needed to be made along the lines of synthetic monitoring.
This is the creation story of Checkly.

The Intelligence from The Economist - View to a killing: bond yields rise and rise
Though central banks have cut interest rates, uncertainty about the future has sent yields sky-high. Our correspondent explains why expectations diverge from the economic data, and the impact on borrowers. Donald Trump’s desire to control Greenland using economic or military force provoked outrage. But could America buy the country (9:01)? And why Singapore’s iconic hawker centres are under threat (17:41).
