NPR's Book of the Day - Efrén C. Olivares’ memoir recounts family separations at the border

Efrén C. Olivares is a human rights lawyer – and he tells Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes that some of the toughest conversations he's ever had were during Trump-era family separations, when he had to tell the parents he was representing in South Texas that he wasn't sure when or where they'd see their children again. His new book, My Boy Will Die of Sorrow, is a firsthand account of the human impacts of anti-immigration policy at the border, told alongside Olivares' own experience immigrating to the U.S. from Mexico as a young teen.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Most Dominant Athlete Ever (Redux)

Question: Who is the most dominant athlete of all time?

It’s an interesting question and one which has started endless pub debates. Is that a basketball player like Michael Jordan, a baseball player like Babe Ruth, or a soccer player like Lionel Messi?  

Or maybe it’s an athlete in an individual sport like Tiger Woods or Serena Williams.

My answer to the question of who is the most dominant athlete of all time might surprise you.

Find who I’m talking about on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Chapo Trap House - 800 – Puzzle Palace (1/22/24)

EDIT: Original file of this episode contained some muted audio clips. File is now fixed, redownload to correct. We start off today’s episode with a farewell to the DeSantis campaign as the Never Back Down PAC backs down, and dedicates its last days to puzzling through Iowa to the Moon Palace Retreat. We discuss Biden’s general lack of a coherent position going into this long, long general campaign, and how it’s leaving his would-be defenders in the lurch. BUT, for the main thrust of this ep, we celebrate one man: The Beekeeper. Because when the hive is threatened, when the Queen is producing faulty Offspring, then there’s one man you must call. To Bee or Not To Bee? To bee, bitch. Let’s keep some bees. Tickets to Talking Simpsons at SF Sketchfest on 1/24 here: https://sfsketchfest2024.sched.com/event/1VUtV/talking-simpsons

Bad Faith - Episode 340 Promo – Our Task for 2024 (w/ Nathan J. Robinson)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast    Current Affairs founder, author, and famously accurate predictor of the 2016 election Nathan J. Robinson returns to Bad Faith to weigh in on the state of the 2024 race, how he predicted John Fetterman's fall, & what he thinks will happen in November. Brie and Nathan spar on the issue of political litmus tests and whether Brie should take the W on Gaza becoming a redline for voters rather than interrogating why it was that withholding votes from Biden was a much more radical proposition back in 2016 or 2020. Last election Bad Faith famously debated Noam Chomsky on the subject of whether the threat of Trump compelled leftists to vote blue no matter who in 2020. Would he change his mind in 2024 in light of the genocide in Gaza?
