The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Hostages, Trump’s Vision, and Schumer

The deal having been struck, the hostage question now goes to which hostages emerge first and in what condition and what this will do to the Israeli people. As Trump prepares for his second inaugural, what is his moral framework going to be, if there will be any? And what is this nonsense Chuck Schumer is telling the New York Times about how brave he was to tell Joe Biden not to run? Give a listen.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and the 1812 Overture (Encore)

In 1880, the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was commissioned to compose a work in honor of the completion of a new cathedral. 

What he wrote became one of the best-known, over-the-top, and difficult-to-produce pieces of music in history. Despite its popularity almost 150 years later, the composer actually thought it was one of his worst works. 

Learn more about the 1812 Overture, how it was created, and just how crazy it actually is to properly perform, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In new memoir, Brooke Shields talks aging, beauty and an unwanted medical procedure

Brooke Shields started in Hollywood at just 11-years-old, starring in films like Pretty Baby and The Blue Lagoon. From that young age, the actress and model was sexualized on and off screen – and decades later, she's out with a memoir that reflects on that public scrutiny. In Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed To Get Old, Shields – now 59 – writes about her experience with age-related bias in the industry. In today's episode, she speaks with NPR's Leila Fadel about her refusal to feel invisible as she ages, how sweetness can be a liability, and a medical procedure that was performed without her consent.

Bad Faith - Episode 440 – “I’ll Win With or Without You” (w/ Eric Blanc)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

What's next for labor under Trump? Biden's reputation as the most pro-union President in a generation took a hit with his opposition to the railroad strike a year ago and was further diminished following recent reporting that Kamala Harris dismissed Teamsters president Sean O'Brien saying, "I'll win with or without you." The Democrats' procedural bungle also resulted in the National Labor Relations Board swinging Republican two years before it had to. Certainly things could get worse under Trump, but is there evidence for optimism in the labor space? Author of the new book We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing is Revitalizing Labor & Winning Big Eric Blanc joins Bad Faith to make the case.
