The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Sober Curious Shift? Wellness, Wine, & What’s Changing

Alcohol is still big business in America—but the numbers are shifting. From wine to beer to spirits, sales are dropping across the board, and it’s not just Gen Z driving the change.

Today, you'll hear some surprising data on drinking habits and the rise of non-alcoholic options, and then you'll hear a personal take on what it's really like to give up alcohol.

Whether you're wine-loyal or booze-free, this episode dives into the cultural shift reshaping what—and why—we drink.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - There Is No Musk-Trump Feud Without The Roberts Court

Money talks, and sometimes it speaks as law by fiat from the highest court in the land. In this episode of  Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick delves into the impact of money on the judiciary and, eventually, on, democracy with Michael Podhorzer, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.  They discuss how the many faces of big money in America, currently personified by Elon Musk and Donald Trump, have shaped the Supreme Court and government regulations. They explore the implications of recent court decisions, the downfall of unions, and the crucial role of collective action in preserving democracy. Michael Podhorzer also writes a weekly newsletter, Weekend Reading.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Is the world’s population being miscounted?

Exactly how many people live on our planet is one of those difficult-to-answer questions. The UN estimates is 8.2 billion, but that’s largely based on census data, which is certainly not a perfect measure.

So when a recent study from Finland found that rural populations around the world had been underestimated by 50 to over 80%, the media got quite excited. This would be a big error - a 50% underestimate would mean the actual number of people in an area is double the number they thought there were.

One newspaper in Spain - El Mundo - did its own sums and said this meant there were potentially 2 billion more people in the world than we currently think there are.

But is it what the researchers in Finland actually meant?

“Absolutely not,” says Josias Lang-Ritter, a researcher from University in Finland and a co-author of the study.

Tim Harford speaks to Josias to figure out the right way of understanding the study.
