  • Nintendo's Empire of Secrets with Keza MacDonald

    Nintendo's Empire of Secrets with Keza MacDonald
    Apr 15 2026

    The video game industry is in a state of chaos. Layoffs, buyouts, studio closures, mergers—the entire industry seems plagued. Except for Nintendo. The Japanese video game giant is over one hundred years old, and since they dominated the home console market in the 80s, they’ve been generally unwavering in their success, and all without succumbing to the pitfalls of other game companies. But they’re also tremendously secretive, operating with very little behind-the-scenes publicity and deploying their massively innovative games with relatively little lead-up. This week, Adam talks games with Keza MacDonald, a video game editor at The Guardian. Her new book, Super Nintendo: The Game-Changing Company That Unlocked the Power of Play, takes a look behind Nintendo’s curtain of secrecy to show how this company has been able to innovate and surprise for so long.

  • How 30,000 People Formed an Impossible Union, with Ethan Bakuli and Rodney Tate

    How 30,000 People Formed an Impossible Union, with Ethan Bakuli and Rodney Tate
    Apr 8 2026

    It’s easy to feel powerless with everything going on, but there are normal people out there every day banding together to change the world for the better. Even so, their stories are not amplified as much as they should be. Over the past few years, over 30,000 Michigan home health care workers were able to successfully form a union despite not having a shared workplace, or even having coworkers. It was a feat of monumental willpower that will have a long-lasting, positive impact on all of those involved, both now and in the future. This week we invite you to take a break from the doom and gloom of the daily news cycle as Adam talks with Ethan Bakuli, a reporter who covered this story for Capital and Main, and Rodney Tate, a home health worker and a vocal leader of the campaign.

I was growing tired of listening to the same audio books over and over - and forgetting to renew my library card so I could indulge in new books. I enjoyed watching Adam on TV, so I chose this channel and this episode as a start. Very interesting topic, as well as informative. The titles of the cohorts has always confused me.
