There is a podcast about the "Theranos" case called Dropout.
(https://abcaudio.com/podcasts/the-dropout/)
I think we may have discussed this podcast on the previous forum board, and I know there were a couple of forum threads about the company and case, etc.
Anyway, there are new episodes now that the trial has started, and I have been listening to the new episodes.
Quite interesting.

Just listened to the most recent episode of The Glenn Show, a conversation with a conservative academic named Amy Wax. Even someone as cynical about American culture as I am was a little taken aback by this truth bomb conversation between two adherents to truth and reality. I recommend our left leaning friends on TNCR not listen to this podcast, the truth bomb may induce too much cognitive dissonance and you may go even crazier than you already are.

She wrote a good book called “Race, Wrongs, and Remedies” where she makes the crucial and generally overlooked distinction between ‘liability’ and ‘remedy’ when it comes to (white) society’s role in improving the lot of black America.
I’ll definitely listen, I’m a regular listener of his show.

Good discussion. It was invite only, (I was invited - no big deal,) so most of you will have to wait for the podcast. By that time, the information will distinguish you less for having it, but I still recommend listening.

Interesting interview with Larry Summers - who does a nice analysis of the inflation situation - likely recession and what interventions might be most useful.

Just starting listening to this
"Why are some lonely, young men a growing threat to our safety? In 2018, a Toronto man drove a van down a busy sidewalk, killing 11 people and injuring many more. He was linked to the "incel" movement, a dark online world fueled by violent misogyny, extreme isolation and perceived rejection. "
Interesting so far.
There was a recent forum thread on "incel".

A great podcast with Sam Harris interviewing Ian Bremmer over Ukraine. Different from many conversations you might have heard, this is focused mainly on potential endgames. Also some inside scoop on why the MIGs were never transferred.

Sam Harris is talking to Douglas Murray in a live event for subscribers Monday. I assume it’ll drop as a podcast in a week or two.

this is a podcast by a very dear friend of mine from Australia. now i don't expect anyone here, not even George, will sit down and listen to a podcast on anatomy for medical students, but he intersperses between episodes of pure anatomy some episodes on the history of dissection, and the connection between Classical Art and Anatomy.
now im listening to this episode on the genderization of anatomy
which i recommend, although it is quite off beat, but i can listen to him talk for hours. I like his style. very academic but quite approachable.
aslo recommended are his series of episodes entitled the anatomy cupboard-these are all episodes for the general listener and not on pure anatomy

I have really liked most of the Podcasts from the CBC (Canada Broadcast Company). I am currently listening to the various seasons of "Uncover". Some true crime, but other interesting topics as well. Most "seasons" are 6-7 episodes or so, all focusing on the same subject.
Recent one I listened to was about "Satanic Panic", where there was supposedly Satanic Cults that were going around abusing, murdering, injuring little kids. Resulted in a lot of trauma, but there is evidence that most of the stories of abuse, etc. never happened.

The first season was interesting story about that cult - NXIVM, which has been discussed on this forum board before.
