What is the focus of this podcast episode?
Megan Rapinoe here. This week on A Touch More, we are live from New York for the Liberty's home opener with an extra special guest, Brianna Stewart. We talk about the Liberty's newest additions, the best lessons Stewie ever got from Sue, and what it was like to be at the Met Gala this year. And of course, we couldn't let her go without asking her about that 2024 foul call.
Check out the latest episode of A Touch More wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube. Hey there, this is Peter Kafka. I'm the host of Channels, the show about what happens when tech and media collide. And this week, we're talking to Adam Mosseri, who runs Instagram and who also runs Threads. And he told me what Threads was originally going to be called.
I called it Textagram as a joke, which unfortunately stuck as a name for months before I managed to kill it. Textagram, great name. You're making me regret telling you this. That's This Week on Channels, wherever you listen to your favorite podcast.
What's up, y'all? It's Kenny Beach, and we are currently watching the best playoff basketball since I can't even remember when. This is what we've been waiting for all season long. And on my show, Small Ball, I'll be breaking down the series matchups, major performances, in-game coaching decisions, and game strategy, and so much more for the most exciting time of the NBA calendar.

I'm Scott Galloway, and this is No Mercy, No Malice. Formula One may be the future of sports and media, but it's not without some speed bumps.
F1 is at an inflection point, as read by George Hahn. Just as my obsession with relevance and economic security have often crowded out what's really important, relationships, I've let my preoccupation with the election results crowd out the blessings in my life. God, I'm so fucking sick of politics. So, let's talk about cars. Fast cars. I'm in Vegas for Formula One.
Actually, the truth is I'm not here for the race. It's more a desperate attempt to avoid the inevitable melt into irrelevance, which I believe can be arrested by extending my adolescence. Also, I love Vegas. The last race I went to was the inaugural Miami Grand Prix in 2022. It was a great time, despite F1 races being boring. Here he comes. There he goes. And so on, and so on, and so on.
The real fun is found far from the track. The vibe is money, tech, and glamour. A Super Bowl for the super rich. If NASCAR is Android, F1 is iOS. In Miami, I went to a dinner party on the beach hosted by Carbone, a fabulous restaurant right in the middle of a COVID flare-up. Fab-u-less. Wyclef Jean played to 700 people, crowded into a hot tent with no ventilation. I had two thoughts.
I'm getting COVID tonight, and it's worth it. I was right on both counts. F1 has long had large and rabid fan bases in Europe and South America, but that enthusiasm didn't land on U.S. shores until 2017, when Liberty Media bought a controlling interest in the league. Under new boss Greg Maffei, F1 took a big swing at America.
