From time to time there's an interview that fundamentally alters and enriches my understanding of how the world works. This is one of them. Professor of Economics at Denison University Fadhel Kaboub returns to Bad Faith to explain how developing Africa may be the key to the climate crisis as well as to the prosperity of a billion comrades on the continent -- but significant political barriers are in the way. Dr. Kaboub explains how America is failing catastrophically to stop climate change, how China shows a different path forward, and why anticapitalist global solidarity movements are necessary to save us all.
In this, the last podcast of the week, we ask: What's going on between the president and the vice president? Is he targeting her? Is he trying to upstage her? Is he trying to humiliate her?

In 1995, a mostly pre-digital age, it was much easier to get lost–especially on a strange road in the middle of the night. This time period is the setting for Simone St. James' thriller Murder Road, which came out earlier this year. In the book, newlyweds are en route to a lakeside cabin in Michigan when they take a wrong turn and discover a hitchhiker needing help. That chance meeting lands the young couple at the center of a series of mysterious murders. In today's episode, NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks with St. James about weaving the supernatural into her fiction and the appeal of true crime.
