Mashup Score: 0Trillion Dollar Shot, Episode 3: Brad — The Journal. - 7 month(s) ago
Bradley Olson has tried a lot of different diets over his 20-year weight-loss journey, including popular programs like WeightWatchers. But nothing was as successful for him as Mounjaro, one in a new class of drugs that people are taking for weight loss. In this episode, Brad talks about his experience on the medicine and grapples with everything the drug couldn’t fix, from his self image to our food system. He confronts the ghosts of diets past and wades into the larger cultural conversation around weight loss. Guests include: Gary Foster from WeightWatchers; Virgie Tovar, a body positivity advocate; Dr. Robert Lustig, an endocrinologist. Listen to Episodes 1 and 2 of “Trillion Dollar Shot” now.

Mashup Score: 4Mahatma Gandhi — Short History Of... - 7 month(s) ago
Raised in India, and trained in London as a lawyer, Mahatma Gandhi went on to lead a life that was anything but ordinary. He campaigned against unjust laws in South Africa, led the movement against British rule in India, and changed the entire nature of protest. His commitment to non-violence would inspire world leaders for generations. But how did a shy, unpromising schoolboy turn into one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century? Where did his ideals and approach to conflict come from? And why, despite his commitment to non-violence, did his own life end so suddenly? This is a Short History Of Mahatma Gandhi. A Noiser production, written by Kate Harrison. With thanks to Bindu Puri, Professor of Contemporary Indian Philosophy at Jawaharlal Nehru University, and author of ‘Gandhi for the 21st Century: Religion, Morality and Politics’.

Siddhartha Mukherjee is something of a biotech Renaissance man. First and foremost, he sees himself as an oncologist. But that core interest has led him in many directions, including running a research lab at Columbia University, co-founding a growing list of biotech startups, and writing books on science and medicine,

Mashup Score: 1558. When Did Marriage Become a Luxury Good? — Freakonomics Radio - 9 month(s) ago
U.S. marriage rates have plummeted. But the babies keep coming, and the U.S. now leads the world in single-parent households. In her new book “The Two-Parent Privilege,” the economist Melissa Kearney says this is a huge problem, and that it’s time for liberals to face the facts. Plus: our friends at “Atlas Obscura” explore just how many parents a kid can have.
