Bad Faith - Episode 361 Promo – A Thing Called Destiny (w/ Norman Finkelstein)

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

In a conversation sprawling over two hours, friend of the pod and preeminent Gaza historian Norman Finkelstein returns to Bad Faith to unpack his recent debate with Twitch streamer Destiny (Steven Bonnell) and historian Benny Morris on Lex Fridman Podcast, the latest on the sexual assault allegations against Hamas, Norm's mother's experience testifying against Nazi Adolf Eichmann, and, finally, Marianne Williamson's recent comments on this show pertaining to criticisms Norm's made of her in the past. Even two and a half hours of recording isn't enough time when Norm and Brie hop on a mic together -- and Brie regrets not closing her Apple Watch rings before she started recording -- but, as always, it was a rich and stimulating conversation. You won't want to miss this one.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Telemark Raids (Encore)

During World War II, one of the biggest concerns of the Allies was the development of a German atomic bomb. 

As such, the allies and various partisan groups in occupied countries made the destruction of anything related to the Nazi atomic program a high priority.

One place, in particular, was subject to allied bombing, commando missions, and partisan sabotage throughout the war. 

Learn more about the Telemark Raids and how Norway became an important front in the Second World War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Hanif Abdurraqib’s new book ponders LeBron James, growing up and going home

Hanif Abdurraqib's new book, There's Always This Year, is difficult even for the author to summarize — it's part memoir, part basketball analysis, part poetry and essay collections. In today's episode, the MacArthur Fellow and writer speaks with NPR's Scott Detrow about how growing up in Columbus, Ohio, watching LeBron James' spectacular ascent, and understanding the passage of time all led to a meditation on mortality and success.
