March 29, 2021 20:21 - 9 minutes - 13.6 MBHello, my friends. I emerged from a writing weekend with Sarah a little uninterested in the story of the Ever Given being stuck in the Suez Canal. My main reaction was "I get it. Big boat. Narrow waterway." But the history of the Canal, its location in the world, and the impacts of American consumerism on worldwide shipping caught my attention. Let's spend a few minutes discussing. Thanks for being here, as always. Your support for our work makes everything we do possible. P.S. I'm sta...

March 23, 2021 19:32 - 10 minutes - 14 MB*At Laura's request, I'm sharing this episode with all of our members* Hello, my friends. I'm struggling a bit today, and I can imagine that many of you are, too. The shootings in the Atlanta area followed by the shootings in the Boulder area are unbearable and a national shame. Today's nightly nuance is a bit different than the normal fare. It's a little shorter and includes more of an overview of a topic than a deep dive. It also includes more of my personal reflections.

March 22, 2021 20:04 - 12 minutes - 17.4 MBHello, my friends. Today we’re talking about the war in Ethiopia and the Biden administration’s response to it. There are four reasons that I think we should prioritize Ethiopia in our thinking: International reports make clear that the situation in Ethiopia’s Tigray region involves genocide. Anytime a group of people is being systematically purged, it deserves our attention. This situation presents trends that I think will drive foreign policy well into the foreseeable future: migration ...

The leaders of the Quad countries posted a joint op-ed, and that is a BFD. They've also committed to some concrete action on climate change, Covid relief, and vaccination.

March 15, 2021 20:32 - 15 minutes - 20.9 MBHello, my friends. At Kristie's request, we're talking today about the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (the PRO Act) and specifically about how it impacts independent contractors. In some corners of the world, there is a five-alarm fire sense that this act will effectively end the use of independent contractors, which would be IMHO a truly bad development. Fortunately, the TLDR for this episode is that we're not quite there. The PRO Act passed the House 225-206 on March 9 (for the sec...
