Episode Synopsis
1) The Wolf Moon stole the spotlight—literally. This episode roasts the blazing supermoon washing out the Quadrantid meteor shower, walks through practical stargazing tips (face northeast, bring binoculars), and riffs on moon-viewing starter kits and our need to hashtag awe. Tune in for science, snark, and the best excuses to rearrange your picnic blanket. Keywords: Wolf Moon, Quadrantids, supermoon, stargazing, NASA.
2) Would you believe a 92% tariff on spaghetti almost became reality? We unpack how two Midwestern firms, a zealous Commerce Department, and bureaucratic theater nearly imposed a 107% levy—then quietly scaled back—exposing rent-seeking, trade policy gamesmanship, and the real costs for consumers. Listen for a clear-eyed take on tariffs, antidumping fights, and why trade often looks like theater. Keywords: tariffs, spaghetti, trade policy, Commerce Department, antidumping.
3) “You are not alone”—until the ad freezes. Using Anderson Cooper’s New Year’s Eve line and a glitchy ad as a lens, we explore grief, mediated consolation, and how technology both interrupts and enables human connection. Reflective and poignant, this episode asks what it means to find comfort through imperfect screens. Keywords: Anderson Cooper, grief, ad glitch, consolation, New Year’s Eve.
4) Bandages, aspirin, and a country practicing resignation. We examine the president’s health saga—the unusual aspirin regimen, unexplained bruising, disputed scans, and the opacity that treats medical facts like stagecraft—asking what diminished transparency means for democracy and public trust. Tune in for investigative analysis on medical disclosure, political accountability, and the stakes of normalizing ambiguity. Keywords: president's health, White House, transparency, medical disclosure, political accountability.
5) Another night, another boat that didn’t make it. This episode recounts the Gambian capsize—96 rescued, seven bodies recovered, 200+ aboard—and highlights the volunteer rescues, grim statistics, and how migration policy shunts people into deadlier routes. Hear urgent reporting on the human cost behind the numbers and what policy choices mean for lives at sea. Keywords: migration crisis, Gambia capsized, migrants, sea rescue, migration policy.
