    2024/11/22
    LeBron is taking a break from social media. Should you? Are you ready to stop being performatively fascinating and get authentically dull? And is Bluesky the XFL of Twitter — or a refreshingly Musk-free community worth joining? Plus: "Re-Potting with Pablo," making lentil, fighting in Temecula, road rage, Mastodon, two ejaculating giraffes, a charging wildebeest and the actually hungry hippo (with suspenders and a pocket watch).

Also: Elon Musk totaling a car, Peter Thiel believing in destiny, and Neymar playing poker.

    It's Time to Remember One of the Worst Athletes Ever
    2024/11/19
    We are entrapped by an algorithm preying on our most terrifying human vulnerabilities. But inside us exists a cabinet of curiosities, and few are better at finding poetry in our past than Nate DiMeo of The Memory Palace, an award-winning podcast and new book. Pablo's kindred spirit conjures a time before Jason Giambi and the golden thong, when the least qualified Major Leaguer of all time was also, somehow, the luckiest. Plus: a new video about pigeons; swimming “lesser channels”; and, yes, raccoons failing to eat cotton candy.

    Watching the Dallas Cowboys on Death Row: Our Visit to a Supermax Prison
    2024/11/14
    As depressing as the American system of capital punishment remains, a staggering number of prisoners use their last words... to root on their favorite sports team. Correspondent David Fleming travels to see Charles Flores, who has maintained his innocence while living in solitary confinement — 23 hours a day, for 25 years and counting, as Inmate No. 999299 at the Polunsky Unit in Livingston, Texas. Turns out, you can still play fantasy football and cook enchiladas on game day. Even while fighting his case and awaiting his fate, Flores finds beauty in the mundane — and a mental escape in shouting out, "How 'bout them Cowboys?!"

  • The News Anchor America Needed

    The News Anchor America Needed
    2024/11/07
    Turning on the news right now feels utterly surreal. But it didn’t always have to be this way. Because Connie Chung — tenacious TV broadcaster and author of a new memoir — set a gold standard in the pre-internet era. For being unafraid of powerful men. For getting scoops at the bar. For trash-talking. For calling out Donald Trump’s childishness to his face. For withstanding the boorish behavior of Bobby Knight and unearthing the inner pain of Michael Jordan. And, yes, for shutting down the richest man on Earth... even after he jumped over a chair. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
