The Indicator from Planet Money - Markets have a bad case of the Mondays

It's been a turbulent couple of days for financial markets around the world. Japan's biggest stock market saw its worst day in decades. Corporate earnings disappointed investors. And last week's jobs report here in the US showed disappointing numbers. Is this a sign of a recession or just some temporary turbulence? Today, we speak with two economic analysts to make sense of what's really going on.

Bad Faith - Episode 395 Promo – Unspeakable

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

Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a trauma and critical care physician who volunteered at the Gaza European Hospital near Khan Yunis earlier this spring. Last month, he and a fellow volunteer wrote an op-ed in Politico detailing their experience. Somehow, despite the unspeakable images out of Gaza we’ve all been watching for the better part of a year, their account managed to capture unique horrors endemic to this genocide. Dr. Sidwa joins Bad Faith to elaborate on what he saw and how it differs even from other conflict zones he’s volunteered in over the years, including Ukraine.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Berlin Wall (Encore)

After the end of the second world war, Berlin was a divided city controlled by the four major allied powers. Despite the different zones of control, people could move freely between them.

However, on August 13, 1961, the East German government decided to end the free travel of Berliners by building a wall around West Berlin. 

For 28 years, the wall defined the city and served as a metaphor for the entire Cold War.

Learn more about the Berlin Wall on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
