The Commentary Magazine Podcast - A Bridge Colby Too Far?

A full house today takes up Pete Hegseth's speech on American defense and the national security strategy document released by the administration—Good? Bad? Ugly? And how about that New York Times story revealing the way the Biden administration self-destructed on immigration? Plus, I recommend (with the provisos that it's very very very long and very very very violent) Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair—a merger of his two Kill Bill films from 20 years ago. Give a listen.

Everything Everywhere Daily - All About Dog Breeds

When looking at your neighbor's dachshund and your great dane, it is hard to believe that these dogs trace back to the same ancestors. Yet, this is true!

Through centuries of domestication and selective breeding, humans have transformed dogs into the most diverse mammal species known today.

Yet, despite the incredible diversity in dog breeds, remarkably, they are all members of the same species.

Learn about how different dog breeds developed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Manhattan Project (Encore)

During the Second World War, the United States embarked on one of the greatest science and engineering projects the world had ever seen. 

Over 125,000 people took part in the program, the vast majority of which had no clue what it was for, and the total cost of the program was over a billion dollars at a time when a billion dollars was a lot of money. 

The end result was the most devastating weapon ever created, and it fundamentally changed the world.


Learn more about the Manhattan Project and how the atomic bomb was created on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - The Making of America’s Most Prominent Anti-Vaxxer

How did Robert F. Kennedy — once the heir-apparent to the Kennedy family's Democratic dynasty — become the Secretary of Health in the Trump administration and the nation's most important anti-vaccine advocate? Michael Scherer, staff writer at The Atlantic, sat down with Kennedy for 7+ hours, getting to know him during jean-clad workouts, Congressional hearings, and the plane ride where Kennedy learned of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The image Michael paints of Kennedy, in a profile published in The Atlantic this month, is a man of extreme changes — a promising political figure turned heroin addict, an environmental lawyer turned anti-vaccine activist, a Democratic presidential candidate turned Republican Secretary of Health. Contributor Alex Wagner sits down with Michael for an interesting conversation to ask if a better understanding of the strange political figure can help us better make sense of his dangerous approach to health and politics.
