The Indicator from Planet Money - The race to produce lithium
Lithium is one of the hot commodities of the 21st century: needed for electric vehicles, semiconductors needed for AI, and grid-scale batteries. While the U.S. was once a pioneer in lithium production, it's fallen off — with others, including China, taking the reins. On our third and final episode of our grid battery series, we look at the race to produce the key ingredient in most of these batteries.

Consider This from NPR - Keeping America Safe: CIA Director Burns reflects
On a shelf in his office at CIA headquarters, Director Bill Burns keeps a tiny scaled model of a house. It's the house in Kabul, Afghanistan, where Al Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed by a U.S. drone strike in 2022.
When NPR went out to interview him last week, Burns pointed to the exact balcony on which Zawahiri was standing. There was pride in his voice. The CIA had never stopped looking for the guy even more than two decades after 9/11.
But it was also a reminder of challenges, of adversaries that will outlast any single CIA director.
Now, as Burns wraps up four years running the Central Intelligence Agency, the challenges have multiplied and intensified.

Chapo Trap House - BONUS: Y2K feat. Colette Shade
Author Colette Shade joins us to discuss her new book “Y2K” on the millennial era of ~1997-2008. Will and Colette review how the boundless optimism of ‘the end of history’ curdled into the permanent pessimism of the 21st century, how computer doomed everything even if the specific prediction of the “Y2K bug” maybe didn’t literally come to pass, how nostalgia can be both useful and a trap, and of course, how everything is 9/11.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Bad Deal
The details of the ceasefire/hostage negotiations in Doha between Israel and Hamas are not viewed favorably on today's podcast, to put it mildly, and suggest there may be danger ahead when it comes to the Trump administration and what it's willing to do to claim successes. And we also view unfavorably Jack Smith's report on how, yeah, he woulda gotten Trump convicted if it weren't for you meddling voters! Give a listen.
