Bad Faith - Episode 394 – East Palestine: The Land that Vance Forgot (w/ Jordan Chariton)

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

Status Coup News' Jordan Chariton returns to Bad Faith to provide an update on the toxic fallout from the East Palestine train derailment and report on how residents on the ground are souring on their senator, JD Vance. Vance once championed the people of East Palestine, but he has failed to follow up on new revelations that the crisis was mismanaged. Does his inclusion on the Trump 2024 ticket constrain his advocacy for his own constituents due to policy differences with Trump -- or was his advocacy always superficial? Also, Jordan connects the East Palestine crisis to the Flint water crisis and previews his new book We the Poisoned: Exposing the Flint Water Crisis Cover Up and the Poisoning of 100,000 Americans.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Hughes H-4 Hercules, aka The Spruce Goose (Encore)

During the height of the Second World War, American shipping to Europe was constantly being attacked by German U-boats. 

In an attempt to completely bypass German subs, aviation pioneer Howard Hughes began construction on what would be the world’s largest aircraft. 

A plane that was so large it could carry 750 passengers or two full-sized tanks across the Atlantic. 

Sadly, it was hampered by wartime rationing of metals and only flew in one memorable test flight.

Learn more about the Hughes H-4 Hercules, aka the Spruce Goose, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Are both rents AND interest rates too dang high?

The Federal Reserve has once again opted to leave interest rates unchanged. That appears to be creating a big challenge to one part of the economy: housing prices. Today, we look at how elevated interest rates may actually be keeping home prices and rent high. Plus, we see how one community is taking the issue of housing affordability into its own hands.

Read the research paper co-authored by Julia Fonseca, Lu Liu, and Pierre Mabille.
