What listeners will find here
Why the world map in your head may be wildly wrong
This episode explores how maps shape what we think the world looks like, and why no flat map can ever be fully accurate. With Map Men Jay Foreman and Mark Cooper-Jones, it connects cartography to power, perception, memory, GPS, and even AI.
A historian challenges America’s favorite story about war and power
America’s identity, wars, and global role are at the center of this conversation with historian Robert Kagan. He argues that a deeply held national myth obscures how the country actually behaves, why it keeps projecting power, and what turning inward could mean now.
When chatbots feel easier than people, what do we lose?
Artificial intimacy is the focus here: why talking to AI can start to feel easier than talking to people, and how that shift could change us. Sherry Turkle explores conversation, empathy, relationships, and the parts of life she believes AI should never enter.
Mark Cuban’s contrarian AI bet goes beyond hype and job panic
AI is the focus here, with Mark Cuban arguing that many people are misunderstanding what’s coming next. He connects that view to jobs, entrepreneurship, healthcare, and the kind of judgment he uses to spot opportunities others dismiss.
How much can a president do militarily before Congress can react?
Presidential war powers are the focus here, through Jeh Johnson’s experience advising on terrorism, cyber threats, and fast-moving national security crises. The episode examines how law, technology, and pressure can concentrate enormous discretion in the Oval Office.
