WSJ What’s News - What Xi’s New Playbook for Trump Means for U.S.-China Trade

P.M. Edition for Oct. 24. During President Trump’s second term, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has adopted a playbook for dealing with the U.S. president that’s offered concessions but also hits back harder. WSJ chief China correspondent Lingling Wei discusses how that’s played out so far, and what it means for the upcoming meeting between the two leaders. Plus, investors are loving Intel again—its stock has almost doubled this year; the company has announced investments from SoftBank, Nvidia and the U.S. government; and yesterday’s earnings report showed momentum. But as WSJ Heard on the Street writer Asa Fitch tells us, that may not be enough to fix the company’s troubles. And the Pentagon said it is sending the Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier to the Caribbean, a major escalation of the Trump administration’s military campaign in the region. Alex Ossola hosts.

CrowdScience - Should we help maggots and caterpillars?

We all know insects are important, but one CrowdScience listener worries that they don’t seem to have equal billing when it comes to human love and attention.

In Scotland’s capital Edinburgh, listener Ruth loves to sit and listen to the birds, the bees and the hoverflies as they go about their daily chores. And it’s got her wondering why bees and butterflies seem to get all the conservation efforts. What do we need to do to protect butterflies as less beautiful caterpillars, and ladybirds as less glamorous larvae? Are people even aware that insects exist in multiple stages of a lifecycle, and that around the world, insect populations are facing perilous levels of decline.

Presenter Alex Lathbridge is on a mission to identify the other unsung insect heroes. Along the way we meet Dr Caitlin Johnstone and Dr Nick Balfour at the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, who help listener Ruth find out about the lifestyles and lifecycles of hoverflies.

We meet the midge that pollinates cocoa crops in Ghana, as well as Dr Tonya Lander from Oxford University and Dr Acheampong Atta-Boateng from the University of Arizona who have been studying them. And Marc Vaez-Olivera from the company Polyfly introduces us to the billions of hoverflies helping to double avocado yields in Spain.

We also learn what we can all do to help keep insects in our gardens… even if that may involve sacrificing a cabbage or two.

Presenter: Alex Lathbridge

Producer: Marnie Chesterton

Editor: Ben Motley

The Bulwark Podcast - Ryan Holiday: Life Is Too Short to Be a Bootlicker

Members of the administration, like Stephen Miller, who spend hours every day kissing Trump’s ass look so pathetic—but since the time of the ancients, courtiers have gone to great lengths to degrade themselves before the vain and vindictive. And one lesson for the ages is to not compromise with an extortionist: it will only lead to more extortion and more pressure because the extortionist wants everything. Meanwhile, Elon’s brain is broken, Peter Thiel spends too much time at dinner parties, Trump’s media diet allows no time for presidential reflection, and authoritarians can be seductive. Plus, Tim sees the redistricting fight looking better for Democrats, and argues that the best way to shut down the talk of a decrepit Trump running in ‘28 is to make sure the Dems win the House in 2026.

Ryan Holiday joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.
