Bad Faith - Episode 342 Promo – Shawn Feigned? (w/ Bill Fletcher Jr.)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast    Lifelong labor activist and author Bill Fletcher Jr. joins Bad Faith to discuss the recent United Auto Workers endorsement of Joe Biden and what it means for the recent radicalism of the UAW under Shawn Fain's leadership. Of what significance is UAW's support of a ceasefire in Gaza in light of this endorsement, and how should a left that is invested in the power of unions to influence politics in a progressive direction be feeling about an endorsement that seems to come without any foreign policy concessions from the Biden administration? Also, Brie and Bill discuss writing political fiction, and the prospect of a Civil-War-style standoff at the Texas border.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Universe 25 (Encore)

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to create a utopia? A place where all your wants and needs were taken care of and there was never any fear of harm? 

Creating such a world for humans may be far off, but one man did try to create a utopia for rats. He created a world that had everything they would want and where all their needs are taken care of.

It didn’t turn out like anyone expected. 

Learn more about Universe 25, and how a utopia turned into a dystopia, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - What is the Deal With SpaceX’s Starship? (Redux)

In 1967, the very first Saturn V rocket was launched. It was the largest rocket ever built. 

55 years later, it is still the largest rocket ever launched.

However, it might not hold that distinction for much longer. There is a new rocket in town and it might soon displace the Saturn V, and in the process, revolutionize space flight.

Learn more about Starship and how it might totally transform the entire space industry on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Is Oxfam right about the world?s richest and poorest people?

We investigate Oxfam?s claim that ?since 2020, the five richest men in the world have seen their fortunes more than double, while almost five billion people have seen their wealth fall?.

With the help of Johan Norberg, Historian and Author of ideas and Felix Salmon, Financial Correspondent at Axios, we explore the figures behind the wealth of the richest and uncover what it really tells us about the world?s financial markets.

And Charles Kenny, senior fellow at the Centre for Global Development in Washington DC, helps us unpick why, when looking at the world?s poorest people, measurements of wealth don?t always tell us what we really need to know.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Black Sheep’ and ‘This Wretched Valley’ use horror to question morality

It's never too early for spooky season. Today, we've got two horror books that explore relationships, cynicism and arrogance. First, NPR's Ayesha Rascoe speaks with Rachel Harrison about Black Sheep, which follows a disillusioned protagonist grappling with religious fanaticism and family ties when she returns to the Satanic community she was raised in. Then, Jenny Kiefer discusses her novel This Wretched Valley, which takes inspiration from the Dyatlov Pass Incident to put an influencer and Ph.D. students at odds with nature.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The James Webb Space Telescope (Redux)

Sometime within the next week of my recording this episode, hopefully, a rocket will be launched from the European Space Agency’s launch facility in French Guyana. 

On it will be NASA’s latest and greatest space telescope. It is unlike anything that has ever been launched into space before, and if successful, it will allow us to see further than we ever have.

Learn more about the James Webb Space Telescope and how it will radically advance astronomy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
