John Fetterman and the Fight for White Working-Class Voters
7 november 2022 · 41 min
For the Democrats to hold on to power in Washington, they have to do what President Biden did in Pennsylvania two years ago: Break the Republican Party’s grip on the white working-class vote, once the core of the Democratic base. Lees meer
In tomorrow’s midterm election, no race better encapsulates that challenge than the Pennsylvania Senate candidacy of John Fetterman.
Is the plan working or is this crucial group of voters now a lost cause for the Democrats?
Guest: Shane Goldmacher, a national political reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Among white working-class voters in places like northeast Pennsylvania, the Democratic Party has both the furthest to fall and the most to gain.
In the final days of the Pennsylvania Senate race, Mr. Fetterman has acknowledged that his recovery from a stroke remains a work in progress, leaning into the issue with a mix of humor, sarcasm and notes of empathy.

The Sunday Read: ‘Taken Under Fascism, Spain’s “Stolen Babies” Are Learning the Truth’
6 november 2022 · 1 uur
The phenomenon of babies stolen from hospitals in Spain, once shrouded in secrecy, is now being spoken about. Lees meer
The thefts happened during the end of the regime of Francisco Franco, the right-wing dictator who ruled the country until 1975, and even today the disappearances remain a subject of mystery and debate among scholars.
According to the birth mothers, nuns who worked in maternity wards took the infants shortly after they were delivered and told the women, who were often unwed or poor, that their children were stillborn. But the babies were not dead: They had been sold, discreetly, to well-off Catholic parents, many of whom could not have families of their own. Under piles of forged papers, the adoptive families buried the secret of the crime they committed. The children who were taken were known in Spain simply as the “stolen babies.” No one knows exactly how many were kidnapped, but estimates suggest tens of thousands.
Nicholas Casey relates Ana Belén Pintado’s discovery, after the deaths of her parents, that she was a “stolen baby,” and considers the web of culpability and the tricky question of blame, as Spain reckons with its past.

Can Abortion Still Save the Democrats?
4 november 2022 · 38 min
With an unpopular president and soaring inflation, Democrats knew they had an uphill battle in the midterms. Lees meer
But the fall of Roe v. Wade seemed to offer the party a way of energizing voters and holding ground. And one place where that hope could live or die is Michigan.
Guest: Lisa Lerer, a national political correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Some top Democrats say that their party has focused too much attention on abortion rights and not enough on worries about crime or the cost of living.

Why the Supreme Court Might End Affirmative Action
3 november 2022 · 26 min
For decades, many universities have used race as a factor when deciding which students to admit. In the past, the Supreme Court has backed that practice, called affirmative action, in the interest of creating a diverse student body. Lees meer
This week, however, the majority-conservative court is considering a case that may change affirmative action forever.
Guest: Adam Liptak, a correspondent covering the Supreme Court for The New York Times.
Background reading:
The Supreme Court appears ready to rule that race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina were unlawful.
In the clash over affirmative action, both sides invoke Brown v. Board of Education, the unanimous 1954 decision that said the Constitution prohibits racial segregation in public schools.

Twitter in the Time of Elon Musk
1 november 2022 · 25 min
It was long awaited, and some doubted that it would ever come to pass, but last week, the tech billionaire Elon Musk officially took over Twitter. Lees meer

Guest: Kevin Roose, a technology columnist for The New York Times, and co-host of the Times podcast “Hard Fork.”

Xi Jinping Opens a New Chapter for China
31 oktober 2022 · 25 min

Guest: Jack Nicas, the Brazil bureau chief for The New York Times.

Is New York (of All Places) About to Go Red?
27 oktober 2022 · 24 min
As Democratic Party leaders assessed their vulnerabilities in this year’s midterm elections, the one state they did not worry about was New York. That — it turns out — was a mistake. Lees meer
Despite being a blue state through and through, and a place President Donald J. Trump lost by 23 points two years ago, the red tide of this moment is lapping at New York’s shores.
Why is New York up for grabs?
Guest: Nicholas Fandos, a Metro reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Ahead of the midterms, New York has emerged from a haywire redistricting cycle as perhaps the most consequential congressional battleground in the country.

The Trump Subpoena
26 oktober 2022 · 28 min
A few days ago, when the House committee investigating Jan. 6 issued a subpoena to former President Donald J. Trump, it raised a legal question: Can Congress compel a former president to testify? Lees meer
The committee’s move, while dramatic, is not without precedent.
What do presidential subpoenas of the past teach us about the moment we’re in, and about what the former president might do next?
Guest: Luke Broadwater, a congressional reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
The Jan. 6 committee issued a subpoena to Mr. Trump, paving the way for a potentially historic court fight over whether Congress can compel testimony from a former president.
If the former president fights the subpoena, his lawyers are likely to muster a battery of constitutional and procedural arguments for why a court should allow him not to testify.

25 oktober 2022 · 22 min
In the early days of its war on Ukraine, Russia cut off gas supplied to most of Europe, plunging the continent into the most severe energy crisis in decades. Lees meer
Soaring prices have put some European leaders on the defensive over their support of Ukraine in the war as they navigate economic crises and bubbling unrest at home.
Guest: Matina Stevis-Gridneff, the Brussels bureau chief for The New York Times.
Background reading:
European countries are facing dwindling supplies of Russian natural gas. The scarcity has distorted the market, driving gas prices to historic highs and pulling up the price of electricity.

24 oktober 2022 · 49 min

Guest: Stephen Richer, the recorder of Maricopa County in Arizona.

The Personal and Political Saga of Herschel Walker

Herschel Walker, the former football star who is running for the Senate, is, according to the Times political reporter Maya King, a “demigod in Georgia sports and in Georgia culture.” Lees meer

Guest: Maya King, a politics reporter covering the South for The New York Times.
Background reading:
How Republicans cast aside concerns and learned to love Mr. Walker.
Will any of the allegations against Mr. Walker actually matter?

Haunted by the images she’d seen in the media, she wrote: “Why be in a position of leadership,” she asked herself, “and not lead?” Lees meer
“All people of color,” Ms. Long typed, “need us to stand with them to clearly state that we condemn acts of systematic and systemic racism and intolerance.” She envisioned profound pedagogical changes in her school; she imagined creating illuminating discussions within classrooms and searching, transformative conversations in the community beyond. She hit send. A degree of support came in reply. A letter of praise signed by 200 Leland alumni was published in a peninsula newspaper.
But angry emails, phone calls and letters poured in from within the district and, because Long’s message made the local news and spread over the internet, from across the country. They labeled her “a disgrace,” “a Marxist,” “a traitor.”
Daniel Bergner, a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, wrote about what happened when a superintendent in northern Michigan raised the issue of systemic racism.

'The Run-Up': The Stacey Abrams Playbook
15 oktober 2022 · 38 min
When Georgia flipped blue in the 2020 election, it gave Democrats new hope for the future. Credit for that success goes to Stacey Abrams and the playbook she developed for the state. It cemented her role as a national celebrity, in politics and pop culture. But, unsurprisingly, that celebrity has also made her a target of Republicans, who say she’s a losing candidate. On today’s episode: the Stacey Abrams playbook, and why the Georgia governor’s race means more to Democrats than a single elected office. Lees meer

13 oktober 2022 · 38 min
This episode contains mention of suicide. Lees meer
A year ago, Lynsea Garrison, a senior producer on The Daily, started telling the story of N, a teenager in Afghanistan.
N’s family tried to force her to marry a member of the Taliban, but she resisted. When she tried to escape to the U.S., however, her case was rejected, so she had to remain in Kabul, fearful and in hiding.
Here’s what happened next.

12 oktober 2022 · 21 min
Just before the sun came up on Saturday on the Kerch Strait Bridge, a strategically and symbolically important link between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, a bomb detonated, creating a giant fireball. Lees meer
But Ukrainian elation about the explosion quickly turned into concern about how Russia would respond. And in the days since, Moscow’s retaliation has been to pound Ukrainian cities with missiles in the most sweeping rocket assault since the start of the war.
Guest: Michael Schwirtz, an investigative reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
President Vladimir V. Putin vowed that more strikes would follow if Russian targets were hit again.
The hail of missiles also seemed intended to appease the hard-liners in Russia who are furious with the humiliating setbacks on the battlefield.

The Sunday Read: ‘The Search for Intelligent Life Is About to Get a Lot More Interesting’
9 oktober 2022 · 42 min
The search for intelligence beyond Earth has long entranced humans. According to Jon Gertner, a regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine, this search has been defined “by an assumption that extraterrestrials would have developed radio technologies akin to what humans have created.” Lees meer
However, Mr. Gertner writes, “rather than looking for direct calls to Earth, telescopes now sweep the sky, searching billions of frequencies simultaneously, for electronic signals whose origins can’t be explained by celestial phenomena.”
What scientists are most excited about is the prospect of other planets’ civilizations being able to create the same “telltale chemical and electromagnetic signs,” or, as they are now called, “technosignatures.”

What Are Tactical Nuclear Weapons, and What if Russia Uses Them?
7 oktober 2022 · 29 min
If President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia follows through on his threats to use a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, he is likely to turn to a specific type. Lees meer
Tactical nuclear weapons have a fraction of the strength of the Hiroshima bomb and of the super bombs and city busters that people worried about during the Cold War.
What exactly are these weapons, how did they develop and what would it mean if Mr. Putin resorted to them in the war in Ukraine?
Guest: William J. Broad, a science reporter and senior writer for The New York Times.
Background reading:
American officials suspect that Mr. Putin is discovering that small nuclear weapons are hard to use, harder to control and a far better weapon of terror and intimidation than a weapon of war.
Amid recent nuclear threats from Russia, President Biden calls “the prospect of Armageddon” the highest since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Why Is It So Hard to Hit the Brakes on Inflation?
6 oktober 2022 · 27 min
In the struggle to control inflation, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates five times already this year. Lees meer
But those efforts can be blunted if companies keep raising prices regardless. And one industry has illustrated that difficulty particularly starkly: the car market.
Guest: Jeanna Smialek, a federal reserve and economy reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Many companies have been able to raise prices beyond their own increasing costs over the past two years, swelling their profitability but also exacerbating inflation. That is especially true in the car market.
Inflation stayed far above the Federal Reserve’s goal in August, as prices climbed more quickly than economists expected.

The resulting once-in-a-generation flood has marooned entire villages and killed 1,500 people, leaving a trail of destruction, starvation and disease.
Guest: Christina Goldbaum, an Afghanistan and Pakistan correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
The flooding has crippled Pakistan’s agricultural sector, threatening a food crisis and dealing another critical blow to a country already in the economic doldrums.
Farm laborers are scrambling to salvage whatever they can from the battered remains of their cotton and rice harvests. It is desperate work.
More than 33 million people have been displaced, with vast areas of Pakistan likely to take months to dry out.

Another Momentous Term for the Supreme Court
4 oktober 2022 · 30 min
The last Supreme Court term was a blockbuster. The justices made a number of landmark rulings, including in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which ended 50 years of the constitutional right to abortion in the United States. Lees meer
The new term could be just as testing, with a series of deeply divisive cases on the docket.
Guest: Adam Liptak, a correspondent covering the United States Supreme Court for The New York Times.

The Latino Voters Who Could Decide the Midterms
3 oktober 2022 · 35 min
Latino voters have never seemed more electorally important than in the coming midterm elections: the first real referendum on the Biden era of government. Lees meer
Latinos make up 20 percent of registered voters in two crucial Senate races — Arizona and Nevada — and as much or more in over a dozen competitive House races.
In the past 10 years, the conventional wisdom about Latino voters has been uprooted. We explore a poll, conducted by The Times, to better understand how they view the parties vying for their vote.
Guest: Jennifer Medina, a national politics reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Two years after former President Donald Trump made surprising gains with Hispanic voters, Republican dreams of a major realignment have failed to materialize, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll.

The Sunday Read: ‘The Safe Space That Became a Viral Nightmare’
2 oktober 2022 · 1 uur 7 min
In September 2021, a group of female minority students at Arizona State University confronted two white male students who were studying in the library’s multicultural center. Lees meer
The women were upset with what they saw as blatant antagonism: One of the men sported a “Didn’t Vote for Biden” shirt, the other had a “Police Lives Matter” laptop sticker. The women felt they had chosen the multicultural center in order to rile them. A heated row between both parties erupted, a video of which quickly went viral, threatening to upend the lives of all involved.
For The New York Times, Sarah Viren, a journalist and essayist, explored the incident in the context of “the widening gyre of the culture wars.” The row at Arizona State was, she explained, “a symbolic fight,” one that raised questions of “wokeism” and “free speech,” the perils of viral videos, and the purpose of “safe spaces.”
“It was a brief drama that was also a metaphor,” Ms. Viren wrote. “But watching and rewatching that drama unfold from my computer, I kept asking myself: a metaphor for what?”

Florida After Hurricane Ian
30 september 2022 · 32 min
As the sun came up over Florida yesterday, a fuller picture began to emerge of the destruction that Hurricane Ian had inflicted on the state and its residents. Lees meer
The Category 4 storm washed away roads, bridges, cars, boats and homes. The damage is so extensive that, according to the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, it may take years to rebuild.
Guests: Patricia Mazzei, the Miami bureau chief for The New York Times; Richard Fausset, a Times correspondent based in Atlanta; Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs, a national news reporter for The Times; and Hilary Swift, a photojournalist.
Background reading:
Data from NASA reveals how warm ocean waters in the Gulf of Mexico provided the fuel that turned Hurricane Ian into such a potent force.

One Man Flees Putin’s Draft
29 september 2022 · 38 min
Kirill, 24, works at a nonprofit for homeless people in the Moscow region. He does not support the policies of President Vladimir V. Putin and is vehemently against the invasion of Ukraine. Lees meer
After suffering setbacks in the war, Mr. Putin announced a military draft a week ago. Kirill was among those called up. As he hides out to avoid being served his papers, Kirill spoke to Sabrina Tavernise about how his life has changed.
Guest: Kirill, a 24-year-old from Moscow who is attempting to avoid the draft and who asked that only his first name be used to avoid reprisals.
Background reading:
In a rare admission of official mistakes, the Kremlin has acknowledged that the military draft has been rife with problems.
Resistance to the draft has grown as villagers, activists and even some elected officials ask why the conscription drive appears to be hitting minority groups and rural areas harder than the big cities.

An Iranian Uprising Led By Women
28 september 2022 · 29 min
Mahsa Amini, 22, traveled from her hometown in the province of Kurdistan to the Iranian capital, Tehran, this month. Emerging from the subway, she was arrested for failing to cover her hair modestly enough. Three days later, she was dead. Lees meer
The anger over Ms. Amini’s death has prompted days of rage, exhilaration and street battles across Iran, with women stripping off their head scarves — and even burning them — in the most significant outpouring of dissent against the ruling system in more than a decade.
Guest: Farnaz Fassihi, a reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
The protests have been striking for the way they have cut across ethnic and social class divides, but there is one group that has risen up with particular fury.
Beyond the anger over Ms. Amini’s death lies a range of grievances: a collapsing economy, brazen corruption, suffocating repression, and social restrictions handed down by a handful of elderly clerics.

The Great Pandemic Theft
27 september 2022 · 32 min
During the pandemic, an enormous amount of money — about $5 trillion in total — was spent to help support the newly unemployed and to prop up the U.S. economy while it was forced into suspension. Lees meer
But the funds came with few strings and minimal oversight. The result: one of the largest frauds in American history, with billions of dollars stolen by thousands of people.
Guest: David A. Fahrenthold, an investigative reporter for The New York Times, focused on nonprofits.
Background reading:
Investigators say there was so much fraud in federal Covid-relief programs that — even after two years of work and hundreds of prosecutions — they’re still just getting started.
A federal watchdog almost tripled its estimate of the amount of unemployment benefits paid out to people who weren’t entitled to them, raising the figure to $45.6 billion, from $16 billion.

Why Fewer American Children Are Living in Poverty
26 september 2022 · 27 min
The high poverty rate among children was long seen as an enduring fact of American life. But a recent analysis has shown that the number of young people growing up poor has fallen dramatically in the past few decades. Lees meer
The reasons for the improvement are complicated, but they have their roots in a network of programs and support shaped by years of political conflict and compromise.
Guest: Jason DeParle, a senior writer at The New York Times and a frequent contributor to The New York Times Magazine.
Background reading:
Child poverty in the United States has fallen 59 percent since 1993, a new analysis showed.
Few states have experienced larger declines in child poverty than West Virginia. One family’s story illustrates the real-life impact that an expanded safety net has provided to millions across America.

The Sunday Read: ‘The Quest by Circadian Medicine to Make the Most of Our Body Clocks’
25 september 2022 · 54 min
The concept of having a “body clock” is a familiar one, but less widespread is the awareness that our body contains several biological clocks. Understanding their whims and functions may help us optimize our lives and lead to better overall health, according to scientists. Lees meer
Every physiological system is represented by a clock, from the liver to the lungs, and each one is synced “to the central clock in the brain like an orchestra section following its conductor,” writes Kim Tingley, a New York Times journalist who explored the effect this knowledge has on how conditions are treated, and spoke to scientists about how misalignment or deregulation of these clocks can have a profound effect on our health.
Exploring the components that dictate our lives, and how they work together like the “gears in a mechanical watch,” Ms. Tingley builds a case for the importance of paying attention to all our circadian rhythms — and not just when it comes to monitoring our sleep.

'The Run-Up': The Republic
24 september 2022 · 47 min
In kicking off the midterms, Joe Biden talked about American democracy as a shared value, enshrined in the country’s founding — a value that both Democrats and Republicans should join together in defending. But there is another possible view of this moment.

The Pastors Being Driven Out by Trumpism
23 september 2022 · 42 min
Evangelicals make up about a quarter of the population in the United States and are part of the nation’s largest religious group. But lately the movement is in crisis. Lees meer

Guest: Ruth Graham is a national correspondent covering religion, faith and values for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Across the country, theologically conservative white evangelical churches that were once comfortably united are at odds over many of the same issues dividing the Republican Party and other institutions.

19 september 2022 · 35 min
The funeral of Queen Elizabeth today will be one of the most extraordinary public spectacles of the last several decades in Britain, accompanied by an outpouring of sadness, reverence and respect. Lees meer

The Sunday Read: “Why Do We Love TikTok Audio Memes? Call it ‘Brainfeel.’”
18 september 2022 · 29 min
“Nobody’s gonna know. They’re gonna know.” Lees meer
If you’ve been on TikTok in the past year, you’re most likely familiar with these two sentences, first drolly uttered in a post by TikTok creator Chris Gleason in 2020. The post has become a hit and has been viewed more than 14 million times.
But the sound is more famous than the video.
When uploading a video to TikTok, the creator has the option to make that video’s audio a “sound” that other users can easily use in their own videos — lip-syncing to it, adding more noise on top of it or treating it like a soundtrack. Gleason’s sound has been used in at least 336,000 other videos, to humorous, dramatic and sometimes eerie effect.
The journalist Charlotte Shane delves into the world of repurposed sounds, exploring how TikTok and other apps have enabled, as she writes in her recent article for The Times, “cross-user riffing and engagement, like quote-tweeting for audio.” She also considers “what makes a sound compelling beyond musical qualities or linguistic meaning.”
While “brainfeel” may be an apt buzzword for the sensation audio memes elicit, Ms. Shane writes, it is more than a mere trend: We have entered the “era of the audio meme.”
This story was written by Charlotte Shane and recorded by Audm. To hear more audio stories from publications like The New York Times, download Audm for iPhone or Android.
