    Ghost Newspapers, News as a Civic Good, and Rebuilding Trust in Journalism

    Over the last 20 years, over 2000 local newspapers have shut down, leading to a 65% drop in the number of journalists and a sharp increase in political polarization. Steven Waldman founded Rebuild Local News, a non-profit coalition of over 3000 local newspapers, to combat this decline and advocate for local journalism. How did the rise of Craigslist kill the local newspaper? What can local papers learn from public libraries? And is it time to completely rethink the role of news in our society?

    Political software is a walled garden. Can anyone break through?

    Political software is a walled garden. Can anyone break through?

    If you're a Democratic candidate in the U.S., you use Democratic software; if you're Republican, you use Republican software. But what if you're independent? You're out of luck, locked out of both the technology and the voter data required to run a competitive campaign. Farhad Mohit founded and ran Flipagram, now better known as TikTok. After Flipagram's acquisition, Farhad felt like he had the necessary experience to challenge the walled garden of political tech, starting a suite of tools for independents known as Good Party.

    Is Ozempic a Magic Pill? Johann Hari weighs its risks & benefits

    In one survey, 47% of Americans said they would take Ozempic or similar drugs, which promise to help people lose 5-24% of their bodyweight — but what's the catch? After Johann Hari began taking Ozempic in 2023, he began investigating how Ozempic affects brain chemistry, the causes of obesity in the western world, and the risks of weight-loss drugs compared to those of obesity. Johann also shares some unexpected secondary consequences of the rise of this new class of weight-loss drugs.

A Thinking Person’s Podcast

Andrew Yang is an excellent interviewer but his real strength is finding amazing guests to interview. Andrew consistently finds experts in their field and shares their life's work with the audience.

His ability to find guests from a wide range of expertise is what makes the Podcast worth adding to your list. His interview with Jennifer Pahlka on her book Recoding America introduced me to a problem that I was not aware existed. Today’s show with Dan Pallotta motivated me to write this review.

If you are looking for honest, truthful information and practical solutions to our country's biggest problem, do yourself a favor and listen to The Forward.

Chef Karl ,

Progressive????

I thought you were a progressive… You now are supporting Dean over Marianne??? Ib’s has never been progressive until it suited him, just like Biden, he talks with no action. How much did he pay you??? I will never listen to you again.. You are as bad as Dean.

Gazaleh..... ,

Yang 2024, please?🙏🏽

The wide range of discussion topics covered here is hard to match. Too few pods “stay in their place” and are too ignorant, afraid, or disingenuous in their purpose to critically ask questions. That leads me to my next question: Andrew will you please run for Prez again??!?!
