Episode Synopsis
The moon’s having a glow-up — and we’re all losing our minds. On this episode we celebrate the last supermoon of the year, the “cold moon,” tracing Native names (Cherokee snow moon, Abenaki winter maker moon), perigee science, and the inevitable influencer-led Instagram chaos. Tune in for cosmic snark, moonwatch survival tips, and why astrophotography drama beats actual astronomy. Keywords: supermoon, cold moon, perigee, Artemis, Apollo, moonwatch, astrophotography.
A lifetime ban that reads like a clearance sale. We unpack the American Economic Association’s ban on Larry Summers and what it reveals about reputation as tradable capital—how institutions sanitize scandal to protect brand equity rather than pursue real accountability. Listen for a sharp analysis of prestige markets, elite networks, and the commodification of trust. Keywords: Larry Summers, American Economic Association, reputation, scandal, accountability, prestige.
Can grief actually widen your capacity to love? Nick Cave sits down with Anderson Cooper for a raw, heartbreaking conversation about losing two sons and how sorrow reshaped his life and art. Tune in for an intimate interview about loss, tenderness, and the strange generosity of grief. Keywords: Nick Cave, Anderson Cooper, grief, interview, loss, love.
Gorgeous images, terrible absence. We examine Netflix’s All the Empty Rooms — intimate photographs of children's bedrooms that feel like altars and a country’s reluctance to move from empathy to prevention. This episode questions whether art and memorialization are meaningful solace or a perfumed substitute for policy. Keywords: All the Empty Rooms, Netflix, documentary, grief, missing children, photography.
A $1,000 starter fund for newborns — progress or political packaging? We break down the “Trump Account”: who’s eligible, the mandate to invest in U.S. stock indexes, the Dells’ philanthropic add-on, and the exclusions that shut out undocumented families. Expect a skeptical, policy-forward look at market risk, corporate influence, and who really benefits. Keywords: Trump Account, $1,000 newborn, stock account, 529, college savings, Dells, undocumented families.
