DIARI
We tell our children unsettling fairy tales to teach them valuable lessons, but these Cautionary Tales are for the education of the grown ups – and they are all true. Tim Harford (Financial Times, BBC, author of “The Data Detective”) brings you stories of awful human error, tragic catastrophes, and hilarious fiascos. They'll delight you, scare you, but also make you wiser. New episodes every Friday.

STORIA
You might think you know what it takes to lead a happier life… more money, a better job, or Instagram-worthy vacations. You’re dead wrong. Yale professor Dr. Laurie Santos has studied the science of happiness and found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will truly make our lives better. Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale -- the most popular class in the university’s 300-year history -- Laurie will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising and inspiring stories that will change the way you think about happiness.

CULTURA E SOCIETÀ
In 2020, the Financial Times exposed a €2 billion fraud at Wirecard, a high-flying German fintech. Many thought that was the end of the story. But for reporter Sam Jones, it was just the beginning. This season on Hot Money: Agent of Chaos, Jones investigates Wirecard’s chief operating officer, who vanished just as Wirecard collapsed. And turned out to also be a Russian spy. From an Ibizan sting operation to an attempted takeover of the Austrian intelligence service, his reporting spirals into a world of warlords, espionage, and disinformation. All in an attempt to answer one question: Who is the real Jan Marsalek? And what does his secret life reveal about the powerful forces he serves?

ECONOMIA
Host Leon Neyfakh transports listeners into the day-to-day reality of our country's most pivotal historical events, bringing to life the forgotten twists and turns of the past while shedding light on the present. Benghazi unpacks the 2012 attack in Libya that left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Chris Stevens—and the ensuing political storm, which raised questions about America’s role in the world, established a playbook to weaponize attention in the social media age, and ultimately changed the course of U.S. history. Iran-Contra exposes a secret war, a secret deal, and a scandal that threatened to destroy Ronald Reagan’s presidency—until it didn’t. Bush v. Gore recounts what happened during the contested 2000 election between Al Gore and George W. Bush, and the extraordinary legal battle that unfolded in Florida.

GOVERNO
In the late 1980s, a group of women connected through the mahjong parlors in Manhattan’s Chinatown were caught in a massive undercover drug bust. This bust was just the beginning of an even bigger case. Host Lidia Jean Kott and co-reporter Shuyu Wang interview sources who’ve never spoken on record before, including witnesses, defendants, and federal prosecutors, to reconstruct a case that still has repercussions today.

Intelligent, thoughtful, insightful, caring about our future: the kids and their education! I could go on and on praising these intellectual diamonds of podcasts! Thank you Malcolm! Coni PS. ... and now in season 5, the bomber mafia! Clear and well presented what physics and history teachers together in cross-disciplinary lessons have to show to their junior high school and college students all over the world! Thought provoking and decisive for a better new world! Our next generation of leaders have to overcome the legacy of the bomber mafia!
Just plain interesting

Along with the „Ezra Klein Show Podcast“ and „99% Invisible“, this is one of my standard staples to listen to when I have some time to myself. The first three seasons are very interesting and thought-provoking. I especially liked the episodes on social policies of the private colleges and the policeman with the dog in the Deep South. Not everything is as its seems. The episode on Texas and the U.S. constitution was also a good listen.
Will make you laugh out loud and yell at your iPhone!

As only Galdwell can do, he has done it again! If you like his books you will love this podcast. He and his first rate team present how crazy is sometime common place in America. Thank you for the review of the CTE / football connection. I think you Penn state talk is the best hour of presentation ever! The listener can hear and feel the passion and conviction of the presenter. Really your Chutzpah episode, were you out of ideas or just sick that week? Weak weak weak! Try better next time.
Must listen
