The Indicator from Planet Money - Do polluters pay, or do they get paid?

For years, rich nations have sent money to lower-income countries to help deal with the impacts of climate change. But it turns out, these wealthy nations are finding creative ways to funnel some of that financing back into their own economies. Today, we look at how the climate crisis is reviving a debate over how money should flow from rich to less-rich nations.

Chapo Trap House - Bonus: Axios and Allies feat. Jael Holzman

Will talks to musician and climate journalist Jael Holzman (Ekko Astral, Heatmap News) about her experience as a congressional reporter at outlets like Axios and Politico, and the conditions that led her to quit. We discuss the institutionalized bias against accurate reporting on topics like climate change and trans rights & healthcare, the outrageous complacency with baseless stories from the likes of LibsofTikTok, and other incidents of casual “lavender scare” that permeate the D.C. press corp. Check out Jael’s medium post on quitting congressional journalism here: https://medium.com/@jaelholzman/why-im-leaving-congressional-journalism-ee97e2bbebf6 And get into Ekko Astral here: https://ekkoastral.bandcamp.com/album/pink-balloons

Bad Faith - Episode 384 – Insider Out (w/ Dr. Annelle Sheline)

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

Dr. Annelle Sheline resigned from the State Department in March after she determined that it was nearly impossible to do her job -- promoting human rights in the Middle East -- in light of the genocide in Gaza. Now at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Dr. Sheline joins Bad Faith to debate the merits of working to reform systems from the inside and to provide behind-the-scenes insights into how some of her former colleagues try to push back against Israel's human rights abuses. Do Matt Miller's craven takes from the podium prove the futility of that effort? Is US narrative-building around the "rules-based order" being destroyed by access to independent media?

Everything Everywhere Daily - Gregor MacGregror and the Biggest Scam in History

One of the most audacious scams in history took place in the early 19th century in Britain. 

A man sold thousands of people a dream of land in the New World. His claims attracted large investments, encouraged hundreds of people to move around the world, and even suckered in members of the royal family. 

However, his promises were empty, and in the end, shiploads of people were stranded in the middle of nowhere, and many people lost their life savings. 

Learn more about Gregor MacGregor and one of the biggest scams in history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
