Listen "Is This Gonna Be Forever?"
Episode Synopsis
First up: Renewed Israeli-Palestinian conflict is threatening to spiral into all-out war. We’ll break down what you need to know.
Then: We’re giving you the context on two more events that have been making headlines this week: Liz Cheney’s demotion, and a Pfizer vaccine for teens.
Next: A major pipeline in the US got hacked over the weekend. We’ll tell you WTF a ransomware attack is, why they’re so common, and why the US is typically a major target.
ICYMI: We’re speaking with one of the cofounders of the nonprofit Stop AAPI Hate to talk about the hate crimes that Asian Americans have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Finally: We’ve been feeling kind of embarrassed about our screen time over the past year… but should we be? We investigated whether this pesky new habit is really so bad.
On this episode, you’ll hear from:
Lily Hay Newman, senior writer, WIRED
Manjusha P. Kulkarni, co-founder, Stop AAPI Hate
Wendy Zukerman, host, “Science Vs,” a podcast from Gimlet, A Spotify Studio
