Bad Faith - Episode 353 Promo – UN Rape Report Fact Check (w/ Ali Abunimah)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast    Electronic Intifada's Ali Abunimah joins Bad Faith to break down the latest in what some are calling the "mass rape hoax" -- a series of articles and reports that claim to prove a mass rape campaign occurred on October 7th based on circumstantial evidence and a few witnesses with significant credibility issues. Ali walks us through last week's report by UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General Pramila Patten, which claims to hold "convincing information" that Hamas raped Israeli hostages. But with no interviews with alleged victims, and no identifying information about alleged witnesses, does the report tell us anything new? And if the most conclusive findings of the report are to cast doubt several rape claims, why was it reported by the New York Times as uncovering new "evidence" -- at least before they walked back their headline? And if Patten admits she did not conduct an "investigation," what does it claim to prove? But first, Ali gives an update on what's been happening this last week in Gaza, including an update on the horrific flour massacre.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Joe Balaam

Eli Lake joins today's podcast to discuss the world's now-most-prominent "AsAJew," the writer-director Jonathan Glazer, who "refuted" his "Jewishness" on the Oscar podcast on Sunday night. What did he mean? And what does what he said reveal about the nature of progressive Jewry and the fact they elevate their own self-infatuated politics over the safety and history of the Jewish people? Then we turn to the continuing mystery of Joe Biden clearly wanting to separate himself from Israel but then contradicting and undermining his own efforts at distance in a manner that reminds us of the Biblical character Balaam. How? Give a listen.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Domain Name System

Behind almost every web page, email, and podcast is a system that translates addresses understandable to humans to something which can be understood by computers. 

The system is one of the foundations of the Internet, yet its origin was in a handmade list that was placed on a single computer. 

Unbeknownst to the creators of the system, it would eventually affect the fortunes of entire countries. 

Learn more about the Domain Name System, how it originated, and how it works, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘Anita de Monte Laughs Last,’ Xochitl Gonzalez explores marriage, art and success

Raquel Toro, the protagonist of Xochitl Gonzalez's new novel, is working on her thesis about a minimalist sculptor when she discovers his all-but-forgotten wife, artist Anita de Monte, died after falling 33 stories from their apartment more than a decade prior. Based on the story of Cuban artist Ana Mendieta, Anita de Monte Laughs Last is an odyssey into ego, power and marriage in the art world. In today's episode, Gonzalez tells NPR's Scott Simon how fiction allowed her to expand on Mendieta's legacy, and why she didn't want to discredit the husband's own career along the way.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Military Ranks

Every military in the world is a hierarchal organization. There are people at the top who make decisions, people down below who follow those orders, and people in between who make it happen. 

Today, most militaries have an elaborate rank structure with multiple ranks in the chain of command. 

However, it wasn’t always like that. The modern system of ranks evolved over time, and the ranks that exist today have origins that go back centuries. 

Learn more about military ranks, where they came from, and what they mean on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Is public speaking really our biggest fear?

For over 50 years it?s been widely reported that speaking before a group is people?s number one fear. But is it really true? With the help of Dr Karen Kangas Dwyer, a former Professor in the School of Communication at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and Dr Christopher Bader, Professor of Sociology at Chapman University, Tim Harford tracks the source of the claim back to the 1970?s and explores whether it was true then, and whether it?s true today.
