CrowdScience - Why am I always late?

CrowdScience listener Sid is running late, and he’s turning to science to find an excuse. He and his partner Steffi in Singapore have very different attitudes to timekeeping. They wonder if this is down to their different cultural upbringings, or if they just had very different brains to start with.

Presenter Chhavi Sachdev puts her own time perception skills to the test to try to understand how subjective our sense of time can be. And we discover how the language we grow up speaking can influence the way we think about punctuality.

The Bulwark Podcast - S2 Ep1024: Anne Applebaum: Everything Is a Game to Trump

Sen. Van Hollen showed that Congress actually does have agency, and a federal judge finally scorched the administration in crystal-clear language about how it's violating the essence of our constitutional republic. But the White House is just treating the whole Abrego Garcia affair like it's a joke. Meanwhile, Trump is elevating his own businesses over the nation's, and is quickly adopting the kleptocratic models of Russia and China—while overlooking the fact that the Chinese have maintained a functional and competent government. Plus, children all over the world are going to die because Elon wants our money to go to his companies, and Marco signaled that the big talker who promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours is ready to give up and walk away.

Anne Applebaum joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

Marketplace All-in-One - From “Financially Inclined”: How to negotiate

Hey Million Bazillionaires! Ryan and Bridget are working hard on brand-new episodes for our next season. In the meantime, we're doing something special today. We're sharing an episode from our friends at Marketplace’s podcast for young people, “Financially Inclined.” It's all about negotiation. That means learning how to speak up for yourself, make fair deals and solve problems in smart ways. It's a skill grown-ups use all the time. But negotiation isn't just for adults. Kids do it every day at home, school and even the playground. We’ve talked before about why negotiation is such an important skill. But if you still have questions, this episode is for you!


Want more “Financially Inclined”? Check out the rest of the season wherever you get your podcasts.

How To Citizen with Baratunde - We found the Anti-DOGE in Chicago

Today, we head to Chicago, where a civic gathering called Chi Hack Night is bringing technologists, designers, policy nerds, and everyday residents together to build a better city.

Access to visuals for this story are here:

and that conversation on Life With Machines with Deb Roy is here

mRelief, a woman-led initiative that’s made it easier for people to access food benefits. Since 2018, it’s helped unlock $2 BILLION (yes, with a B) in SNAP support for people across the country.

In a time of DOGE and digital distrust, it’s tempting to think all tech can do is tear things down. But this is what happens when we invite everyone—not just the billionaires—into the process of shaping solutions.

This is what citizening looks like:

  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 People-powered innovation

  • 🏙️ Tech rooted in place

  • 💡 Making tools with communities, not just for them

Marketplace All-in-One - The Supreme Court will determine the future of free preventative care

It's the law that insurance companies have to cover the costs of certain screenings for cancer, diabetes, infectious diseases and more. Patients could soon have to pick up more of the tab, however, if the Supreme Court sides with two Texas businesses. And later: Ukraine says it's signed a memorandum of intent to sell minerals to the U.S., and sportswear brands are cashing in on running's growing popularity.
