'The Run-Up': The Autopsy
17 september 2022 · 41 min
It’s March 2013. The G.O.P., in tatters, issues a scathing report blaming its electoral failures on an out-of-touch leadership that ignores minorities at its own peril. Just three years later, Donald Trump proves his party dead wrong. Today, how certain assumptions took hold of both parties — and what they’re still getting wrong — heading into the midterm elections.

Promise and Peril at the Bottom of the Sea
16 september 2022 · 34 min
The adoption of electric cars has been hailed as an important step in curbing the use of fossil fuels and fighting climate change. There is a snag, however: such vehicles require around six times as many metals as their gasoline-powered counterparts. Lees meer
A giant storehouse of the necessary resources sits at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. But retrieving them may, in turn, badly damage the environment.
Guest: Eric Lipton, an investigative reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Mining in the Pacific Ocean was meant to benefit poorer countries, but an international agency gave a Canadian company access to seabed sites.
Miles below the surface, harvesting metallic nodules may threaten animals found nowhere else on the planet.

Could a National Abortion Ban Save Republicans?
15 september 2022 · 22 min
With the midterm elections a few weeks away, Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, forwarded a plan to save his party from the growing backlash over abortion. Lees meer
But the proposal — a federal ban on almost all terminations after 15 weeks — has served mostly to expose the division among Republicans about the issue.
Guest: Lisa Lerer, a national political correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Mr. Graham’s effort has reignited debate on an issue that Republicans have worked to confront before midterm elections in which abortion rights have become a potent issue.

The College Pricing Game
14 september 2022 · 27 min
When President Biden canceled college debt last month, he left untouched the problem that created that debt: the soaring price of college. Lees meer
In the 1980s, the list price of undergraduate education at a private four-year institution could hit $20,000 a year. At some of these schools in the last couple of years, it has topped $80,000.
Why has a college education become increasingly costly, and why has that become such a difficult problem to solve?
Guest: Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist for The New York Times and author of “The Price You Pay for College.”
Background reading:
Instead of making higher education free, the United States subsidizes it later through repayment plans and attempts at debt cancellation. The complexity is disrespectful, Ron Lieber writes in his “Your Money” column.
Also from “Your Money”: Student loan borrowers don’t deserve “forgiveness,” they deserve an apology.

Is Ukraine Turning the Tide in the War?

How did the war reach this critical point, and what does Ukraine’s success mean for the future?
Guest: Eric Schmitt, a correspondent covering national security for The New York Times.
Background reading:
A lightning Ukrainian offensive in the country’s northeast has reshaped what had become a grinding war of attrition.
Stunned by a lightning advance, Russia has acknowledged the loss of the northern region of Kharkiv, which cast doubt on the premise that Ukraine could never defeat it.

Serena Williams’s Final Run
12 september 2022 · 43 min
The U.S. Open crowned its winners this weekend. But for a lot of fans, this year’s competition was less about who won, and more about a player who wasn’t even involved in the final matches. Lees meer
Serena Williams, who announced last month that she’d be retiring from tennis after this year’s tournament, has made an indelible impact on her sport and left a legacy away from the court that has very little precedent.
Guest: Wesley Morris, a critic at large for The New York Times and co-host of Times podcast “Still Processing.”
Background reading:
At the U.S. Open, Serena Williams laughed, rocked sparkly shoes, rang the bell at the stock exchange, beat two opponents, teared up and said goodbye. Here’s an exploration of her magical last week in tennis.
As Ms. Williams played her final matches, women have seen their own lives reflected in the triumphs and trials of the tennis superstar.

The Sunday Read: ‘How the Claremont Institute Became a Nerve Center of the American Right’
11 september 2022 · 59 min
The Claremont Institute, a right-wing think tank in California, has in recent years become increasingly influential in Republican circles. In 2016, its goal was to turn Donald J. Trump into a legitimate candidate — and then it did . Lees meer
The journalist Elisabeth Zerofsky traces the origins of the divisive organization, explaining how it made the intellectual case for Trumpism but also how, with ties to Ron DeSantis and John Eastman, the think tank has become a home for “counterrevolutionary” politics that go far beyond the former president.

How Queen Elizabeth II Preserved the Monarchy
9 september 2022 · 33 min
The death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday brought to an end a remarkable reign that spanned seven decades, 15 prime ministers and 14 American presidents. Lees meer
During her time on the throne, which saw the crumbling of the British Empire and the buffeting of the royal family by scandals, Elizabeth’s courtly and reserved manner helped to shore up the monarchy and provided an unwavering constant for her country, the Commonwealth and the wider world.
Guest: Alan Cowell, a contributor to The New York Times and a former Times foreign correspondent.
Background reading:
Amid social and economic upheaval across her 70-year reign, the queen remained unshakably committed to the rituals of her role.

Is California Jump-Starting the Electric Vehicle Revolution?
8 september 2022 · 34 min
As California watches the impact of rising temperatures devastate its environment with brutal heat waves and raging fires, the state is taking increasingly far-reaching steps to combat climate change. Lees meer
One of those measures — banning the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035 — could prove a turning point for the transition to electric vehicles.
Guest: Neal E. Boudette, an automotive correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Not only is California the largest auto market in the United States, but more than a dozen other states also typically follow California’s lead when setting their own auto emissions standards.
Automakers such as General Motors have equally ambitious aspirations for electric cars, but moving away from internal-combustion vehicles will not be easy.

6 september 2022 · 43 min

How Gorbachev Changed the World
1 september 2022 · 42 min
Few leaders have had as profound an effect on their time as Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, who died this week at 91. Lees meer
It was not Mr. Gorbachev’s intention to liquidate the Soviet empire when he came to power in 1985. But after little more than six tumultuous years, he had lifted the Iron Curtain and presided over the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, ending the Cold War.
Guest: Serge Schmemann, a member of The New York Times’s editorial board.
Background reading:
Adopting principles of glasnost and perestroika, Mr. Gorbachev weighed the legacy of seven decades of Communist rule and set a new course, decisively altering the political climate of the world.

Inside the Adolescent Mental Health Crisis
30 augustus 2022 · 29 min
This episode contains discussions about suicide, self-harm and mental health issues. Lees meer
In decades past, the public health risks teenagers in the United States faced were different. They were externalized risks that were happening in the physical world.
Now, a new set of risks has emerged.
In 2019, 13 percent of adolescents reported having a major depressive episode, a 60 percent increase from 2007. And suicide rates, which had been stable from 2000 to 2007 among this group, leaped nearly 60 percent by 2018.
We explore why this mental health crisis has become so widespread, and why many people have been unprepared to handle it.
Guest: Matt Richtel, a correspondent based in San Francisco for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Depression, self-harm and suicide are rising among American adolescents. The coronavirus pandemic intensified the decline in mental health among teenagers but predated it.
Increasingly, anxious and depressed teens are using multiple, powerful psychiatric drugs, many of them untested in adolescents or for use in tandem.

29 augustus 2022 · 29 min
Since he left office, former President Donald J. Trump has been facing several investigations. Lees meer
They include the congressional inquiry into the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol and the F.B.I.’s search of Mar-a-Lago, his club and Florida residence, as part of an investigation into his handling of classified material.
Of all the government investigations, the one that is receiving the least attention — a case being made by a local prosecutor in Georgia — may end up being the most consequential.
Guest: Richard Fausset, a correspondent based in Atlanta for The New York Times.
Background reading:
Over a year into a criminal investigation of election interference by Mr. Trump and his allies, a Georgia prosecutor is beginning to show the broad contours of her inquiry.

The Sunday Read: ‘She’s at Brown. Her Heart’s Still in Kabul.’
28 augustus 2022 · 52 min
Going to college can be a shock to most: Leaving the comfort of friends and family for a leap into the unknown, a fresh start. But what is the university experience like as a refugee? Lees meer
The journalist Maddy Crowell met some of the 148 Afghan women who have been enrolled in U.S. colleges to complete their degrees, and relates how they have adapted to American and collegiate life a year on from the fall of Kabul.
It has, she finds, been far from easy. Ms. Crowell wrote that one student said “she spent her days pinballing among exhaustion, despair and a sort of cautious optimism.”

22 augustus 2022 · 38 min
For more than 500 days, coal miners in rural Alabama have been on strike. Around 900 workers walked off the job in April 2021, and they haven’t been back since. Lees meer

For Braxton Wright, 39, a second-generation coal miner and, until recently, a Republican, the experience has altered his view of American politics.
Guest: Michael Corkery, a business reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
To make ends meet, some striking coal miners in Alabama have picked up work at an Amazon warehouse. It’s the same one where workers have tried to unionize.

The Sunday Read: ‘Can Planting a Trillion New Trees Save the World?’
21 augustus 2022 · 51 min
In the past decade, planting trees has come to represent many things: a virtuous act, a practical solution and a symbol of hope in the face of climate change. But can planting a trillion trees really save the world? Lees meer
Visiting the Eden Reforestation Projects in Goiás, Brazil, and interviewing numerous international scientists and activists, the journalist Zach St. George offers a vivid insight into the root of the tree-planting movement — from the Green Belt Movement of the 1970s to the Trillion Tree Campaign of the 2010s — and considers the concept’s environmental potential, as well as the movement’s shortcomings.

What is a black hole? Why do we remember the past but not the future? If time had a beginning, does it have an end? Lees meer
We don’t have the answers to some of the universe’s biggest questions. What we do know often feels bleak, such as the notion that in a billion years there will most likely be no life on Earth. Or the reality that someday the entire human race will probably be forgotten.
Nonetheless, people search for answers. These are some of the cosmic questions that haunt the human experience.
Guest: Dennis Overbye, the cosmic affairs correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
When the largest space observatory ever built sent its images back to Earth, here’s what astronomers saw.
In space you can’t hear a black hole scream, but apparently you can hear it sing. Hear what that sounds like.

About Those Documents at Mar-a-Lago
18 augustus 2022 · 22 min
Last week, the F.B.I. took the extraordinary step of searching Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald J. Trump’s private club and Florida home. Their goal? To find materials he was thought to have improperly removed from the White House, including classified documents. Lees meer
An inventory of the material taken from the search showed that agents seized 11 sets of documents with some type of confidential or secret marking on them.
We explore some of the latest developments in the case.
Guest: Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:

The Tax Loophole That Won’t Die
15 augustus 2022 · 26 min
Carried interest is a loophole in the United States tax code that has stood out for its egregious unfairness and stunning longevity. Lees meer
Typically, the richest of the rich pay 40 percent tax on their income. The very narrow, select group that benefits from carried interest pays only 20 percent.
Earlier versions of the Inflation Reduction Act targeted carried interest. But the loophole has survived. Senator Kyrsten Sinema, Democrat of Arizona, demanded her party get rid of efforts to eliminate it in exchange for her support.
How has the carried interest loophole lasted so long despite its obvious unfairness?
Guest: Andrew Ross Sorkin, a columnist for The New York Times and the founder and editor-at-large of DealBook.
Background reading:
What is the carried interest loophole and why hasn’t it been closed by now?

The Sunday Read: ‘How One Restaurateur Transformed America’s Energy Industry’
14 augustus 2022 · 30 min
It was a long-shot bet on liquid natural gas, but it paid off handsomely — and turned the United States into a leading fossil-fuel exporter. Lees meer
The journalist Jake Bittle delves into the storied career of Charif Souki, the Lebanese American entrepreneur whose aptitude for risk changed the course of the American energy business.
The article outlines how Mr. Souki rose from being a Los Angeles restaurant owner to becoming the co-founder and chief executive of Cheniere Energy, an oil and gas company that specialized in liquefied natural gas, and provides an insight into his thought process: “As Souki sees it,” Mr. Bittle writes, “the need to provide the world with energy in the short term outweighs the long-term demand of acting on carbon emissions.”
In a time of acute climate anxiety, Mr. Souki’s rationale could strike some as outdated, even brazen. The world may be facing energy and climate crises, Mr. Souki told The New York Times, “but one is going to happen this month, and the other one is going to happen in 40 years.”
“If you tell somebody, ‘You are going to run out of electricity this month,’ and then you talk to the same person about what’s going to happen in 40 years,” he said, “they will tell you, ‘What do I care about 40 years from now?’”

The F.B.I. Search of Trump’s Home
10 augustus 2022 · 22 min
On Monday, federal agents descended on Mar-a-Lago, the private club and Florida home of former President Donald J. Trump, reportedly looking for classified documents and presidential papers. Lees meer
Trump supporters expressed outrage about the agency’s actions, while many Democrats reacted with glee. But what do we know about the search, and what comes next?

The Sunday Read: 'Why Was Joshua Held for More Than Two Years for Someone Else’s Crimes?'
7 augustus 2022 · 48 min
The more he insisted that his name was Joshua, the more delusional he came to be seen. Lees meer
Journalist Robert Kolker tells us the remarkable story of Joshua Spriestersbach, a homeless man who wound up serving more than two years in a Honolulu jail for crimes committed by someone else.
It was a case of mistaken identity that developed into “a slow-motion game of hot potato between the police, the courts, the jails and the hospitals,” Mr. Kolker writes. He delves into how homelessness and mental illness shaped Mr. Spriestersbach’s adult life, two factors that led him into a situation in which he had little control — a bureaucratic wormhole that commandeered and consumed two and a half years of his life.

This episode contains mention of sexual assault. Lees meer
Kansas this week became the first U.S. state since the fall of Roe v. Wade to put the question of abortion directly to the electorate.

Guest: Mitch Smith, a correspondent covering the Midwest and the Great Plains for The New York Times.

The defeat of the ballot measure in Kansas was the most tangible demonstration yet of a political backlash against the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe.

The Sunday Read: ‘Inside the Push to Diversify the Book Business’
31 juli 2022 · 1 uur 8 min
For generations, America’s major publishers focused almost entirely on white readers. Now a new cadre of executives is trying to open up the industry. Lees meer
The journalist Marcela Valdes spent a year reporting on what she described as “the problematic history of diversity in book publishing and the ways it has affected editors, authors and what you see (or don’t see) in bookstores.”
Interviewing more than 50 current and former book professionals, as well as authors, Ms. Valdes learned about the previous unsuccessful attempts to cultivate Black audiences, and considered the intricacies of an industry culture that still struggles to “overcome the clubby, white elitism it was born in.”
As one publishing executive puts it, the future of book publishing will be determined not only by its recent hires but also by how it answers this question: Instead of fighting over slices of a shrinking pie, can publishers work to make the readership bigger for everyone?

The Sunday Read: ‘The Books About Sex That Every Family Should Read’
24 juli 2022 · 27 min
How do you teach your child about sex? It’s a perennial question that has spawned hundreds of illustrated books meant to demystify sexual intercourse. Lees meer
But for the Canadian author Cory Silverberg, there was something lacking. Silverberg, who uses they/them pronouns, felt that books on sex aimed at children often omitted mention of intimacy in the context of disability or gender nonconformity. And so they set about making a book of their own.
They wanted to tell a story of how babies are made that would apply to all kinds of children, whether they were conceived the traditional way or through reproductive technologies, whether they live with adoptive or biological parents, and no matter their family configuration.
The book critic Elaine Blair, who had also felt that children’s literature on sex was a little thin on inclusivity, recalls being drawn in by the fact that Silverberg’s “Sex is a Funny Word” is one of few children’s books that contend with the fact that children encounter representations of sexuality in the media.
Ms. Blair met up with Silverberg in Houston to understand the germ of the idea and the editorial process of delivering the book, from conception to print.
This story was written by Elaine Blair and recorded by Audm. To hear more audio stories from publications like The New York Times, download Audm for iPhone or Android.

Background reading:
Mr. Trump has issued a rambling 12-page statement containing his usual mix of outlandish claims, hyperbole and outright falsehoods, but also, apparently, with something different: the beginnings of a legal defense.
Robert S. Mueller III was often portrayed as the omnipotent fact-gatherer for his inquiry, but it was Mr. Goldstein who had a much more involved, day-to-day role. (Here’s our profile of Mr. Goldstein from 2019.)
