The Sky is Falling - Episode 328
U.S. Figure Skating: Prestige Drama on Ice — Is greatness decided by grit or a passport stamp? We unpack Maxim Naumov’s tragedy-turned-legacy, Ilia Malinin’s quad Axels, Amber Glenn’s comeback, Alysa Liu’s return, and the soldier, the broken foot, and the bureaucratic chaos that shaped the team. Athlete interviews, selection controversies, and a look at resilience versus red tape. Tune in for jaw‑dropping jumps, human stories, and one bureaucratic moment that could rewrite Olympic dreams. Keywords: U.S. Olympic figure skating, Ilia Malinin, Maxim Naumov, Amber Glenn, Alysa Liu, Olympic selection.
The Capitalist’s Fever Dream — Welcome to corporate theater where studios are ledger lines. We break down David Ellison’s $30 bid vs. Warner Bros. Discovery’s $27.75 offer, the Delaware Chancery standoff, Netflix’s waiting game, and what media consolidation means for newsrooms and culture. Legal drama, proxy fights, and politics collide as public institutions get priced like inventory. Listen for smart takes on mergers, media power, and the stakes for journalism. Keywords: Warner Bros. Discovery, David Ellison, Delaware Chancery, media consolidation, Netflix.
Autistic Barbie — A tiny, pink mirror that says “I see you.” We explore Mattel’s Autism Fashionista: noise‑canceling headphones, a working AAC device, the partnership with advocacy groups, and what productized empathy actually does for representation. Tender, skeptical, and hopeful—this is about visibility, not cure. Hear why a doll can matter and why representation still falls short. Keywords: Mattel, Autism Fashionista, autism representation, advocacy, AAC.
Our Collective Nightmare — A warehouse turned morgue and a blackout that hides the tally. We investigate state violence, eyewitness accounts, shifting death tolls, mass arrests, and the human cost behind the headlines as protesters chant and governments rewrite the story. Rigorous reporting on repression, denial, and international responses. Listen for on‑the‑ground updates and the stories official statements try to erase. Keywords: state violence, protests, Iran protests, human rights, blackout.
