This episode, we go back to the “naughties” and look at a conversation Oprah held about the depiction of young girls on TV, in music videos, and beyond. This featured hip-hop dancer Karrine Steffens, who had written a book called “Confessions of a Video Vixen” — as well as the singer PINK, who took on this culture in her song “Stupid Girls.”
Our guests for this episode are Elizabeth Hinton of Yale, and Saida Grundy of Boston University.

Almost every single person listening to this podcast right now is doing so on some sort of personal computing device.
Many of the things that we consider part of a modern personal computer, windows, hyperlinks, a mouse, and a text editor, all were released upon the world in a single 90-minute demo in 1968.
The ideas were so advanced it would take over two decades before most of them found themselves in everyone’s homes.
Learn more about the Mother of All Demos and the birth of personal computing, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More than 1.2 million people came into the country to stay for more than 12 months in 2022. As only 560,000 left the country, this means net migration is at an all-time high. Both the Prime Minister and Home Secretary have said the number of people coming needs to come down. But who counts as an immigrant? How are the figures worked out?
Charlotte McDonald will be finding out what the numbers tell us about who is coming to the UK and why. Plus - what about the people who left in 2022?
Happy holiday weekend, sorry we’re a bit late. To give them credit, the dry boys actually rallied to record as usual on Monday, this time it’s Chris who’s been off grilling and chilling in the woods.
