Inside Elon's Twitter Takeover with Ryan Mac and Kate Conger

Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter was an unmitigated catastrophe on multiple fronts, but it’s hard to ignore how it ultimately became a powerful tool in helping Donald Trump get elected. Was this Musk's plan all along back in 2022, or just another example of his infantile, buffoonish behavior with no real consequences? In this episode, recorded before the election, Adam sits down with New York Times technology reporters Kate Conger and Ryan Mac, authors of Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter, to explore Musk's disastrous acquisition and its unexpected role in shaping American politics.

If the Economy is Good, Why Do We Feel So Bad? with Kyla Scanlon

This week, Adam sits down with Kyla to talk about the vibecession, why the basics of economics can be so hard for most people to understand, and her new book, In This Economy?: How Money & Markets Really Work.

While age can bring wisdom and experience, it can also result in leaders who are out of touch with their constituents or simply no longer effective at their job. This problem has a name: the gerontocracy. This week, Adam sits down with UC Berkeley associate professor Jake Grumbach to discuss why American politicians seem to really start their careers when they reach retirement age, and explore the other issues with our democracy that stem from the same problem.
