Bad Faith - Episode 352 – The Case for Open Borders (w/ John Washington)

Staff writer at Arizona Luminaria & author of The Case for Open Borders John Washington joins Bad Faith to make -- what else? -- the case for open borders. It seems the left and liberals alike have been largely silent on what they affirmatively believe should be done to address the immigration backlog at the border. We are able to say what we don't like about Biden's or the Republicans' policy. But what should actually be done instead? We are often accused of wanting open borders. What if we owned it? Is it possible to both prioritize the interests of American workers and have a humane border policy? Are we falling into the trap of believing a tradeoff is necessary?

Everything Everywhere Daily - Senegal and The Gambia

Nestled in the heart of West Africa lie two nations with distinct identities yet tied together by a common geography and history: Senegal and The Gambia.

The landscape of this region wasn’t always as fragmented as it is now. It wasn’t until the 19th century that it was carved into the separate entities we recognize today, a division that has persisted into contemporary times.

Efforts have been made to bridge the divide, but the boundary between these two countries still presents challenges.

Learn more about the fascinating story of Senegal and The Gambia and how their odd borders came to be on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Kara Swisher’s memoir ‘Burn Book’ reflects on a career covering Silicon Valley

Journalist Kara Swisher, who's been covering the internet and the tech industry for decades, says she's not surprised when people like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk lie to her — but what she says they sometimes don't realize is how much they lie to themselves. Her new memoir, Burn Book, recounts what she's learned in conversation with some of the brightest minds in Silicon Valley. In today's episode, Swisher tells NPR's Steve Inskeep that as disillusioned as she is with how much harm the industry has caused, she's still optimistic about the future of tech and AI.

The Indicator from Planet Money - What would it take to fix retirement?

The rising cost of living and longer life expectancy is making it harder for Americans to retire comfortably. Millions of Americans are behind on saving for retirement and face the possibility of working in their old age.

Economist Teresa Ghilarducci says she has a plan that could fix retirement in America. In her book, "Work, Retire, Repeat: The Uncertainty of Retirement in the New Economy," she proposes a few policies that she believes can help Americans currently struggling to retire. Today on the show, we talk to her about her ideas and why the current status quo is more serious than we think.
