Via stories of her own experiences at the heart of complex conflicts, she shares fascinating details of how she and other female colleagues have changed the way that news is captured, shared — and understood.

    The case for a new Great Migration in the US | Charles M. Blow

    Social progress in the United States often seems to take two steps forward and one step back, with hard-fought civil rights wins countered by a seemingly inevitable backlash. In this spirited talk, writer Charles M. Blow makes the case that history, inverted, suggests a potential path forward.

Something is broken

Like the show, but something is broken with the feed- every episode for the past couple months has the same segment with a guy talking about kids being discouraged in school. Really annoying. Please fix this or I’m going to take Ted talks out of my automatically queued list of shows.

What once had substance

Piling on here but feel the need to…sad to see what this podcast has turned into. The content will hopefully return once the pendulum does. Until then, stay far away from this nonsense
