Hey, this is Peter Kafka. I'm the host of Channels, a podcast about technology and media and how they're both changing all the time. And this week, I'm trying to figure out how Donald Trump is changing the media in Washington, in the courtroom, and in the boardroom. On to help me figure it all out is Sarah Fisher, the excellent Washington-based media reporter for Axios.
That's this week on Channels, wherever you get your favorite podcasts. Buying a house has long been considered the best way to build wealth and move into true adulting. Isn't it? I mean, at least that's what society wants us to think. Got to get a Birkin, got to get a home, you know.
Okay, the handbag you can probably manage without. But what about a house? Surely that's actually good, right? We're going to find out this week on Explain It To Me. New episodes every Sunday morning, wherever you get your podcasts.
Why is changing a simple pronoun so controversial? If a pronoun's changing, you feel like somebody's telling you to not use the middle finger on your right hand all day. And you're trying not to, but it's really hard. I'm Preet Bharara.
And this week, linguist and author John McWhorter joins me on my podcast, Stay Tuned with Preet, to talk about what our grammar reveals about who we are and his new book, Pronoun Trouble. The episode is out now. Search and follow Stay Tuned with Preet wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Scott Galloway, and this is No Mercy, No Malice. As President Trump upends the post-World War II order, it's finally dawning on Europe that it can no longer rely on America. Europe becomes a union, as read by George Hahn.
The president is pulling back the security blanket that's protected Europe since 1945 and imposing 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, claiming the European Union was formed to screw the United States. As the US upends transatlantic ties, the EU is awakening to the reality that its rich uncle has lost his shit and can no longer be trusted, much less depended on.
As dangerous as this is, we should ask, what could go right? This rift presents an opportunity for the EU to harness its economic strength and finally become a union. Skepticism is warranted. The bloc of 27 member states has a host of problems. Waning competitiveness against the U.S.
and China, lagging investment, costly regulation, lack of coordination, sclerotic decision-making, and political division. Only four of the world's top 50 tech companies are European, according to a report last year led by Mario Draghi. the former president of the European Central Bank. Without radical change, Draghi said Europe's reason for being is at risk.
