    Scott Galloway Says Men Should “Protect, Provide, and Procreate”
    Dec 8 2025
    Best-selling author, podcaster, and professor Scott Galloway is worried about men. He sees them falling behind and he thinks the left, especially, is overlooking their crises. So he’s provided his own guidance in a new book, “Notes on Being a Man.” Part memoir and part advice, Galloway argues that a man’s job is to “protect, provide, and procreate.” Today we ask: where does that leave women? What can be done to help young men, especially on the job market? And in a society where many women are the breadwinners of their households, what does “provide” mean for men?

  • It’s Time for Medicare for All

    It’s Time for Medicare for All
    Nov 10 2025
    In the 1990s, Dr. Stephanie Woolhandler did something her colleagues at Harvard called “crazy:” she decided to work with a senator named Bernie Sanders on healthcare reform. Dr. Woolhandler had already founded an advocacy group called Physicians for a National Health Program, which declared the for-profit healthcare system broken and proposed one solution: single-payer national health insurance. (Or, as Sanders calls it, Medicare for all.) Dr. Woolhandler, now a distinguished professor at Hunter College, says this solution is more urgent than ever. Our healthcare costs are soaring and people are only getting sicker. Today we ask Dr. Woolhandler: how did we get here, why is a single-payer system the only answer, and how can it be feasibly implemented? Learn more about your ad choices.

    Kids Should Have a Driver's License Before a Smartphone
    Nov 3 2025
    Have smartphones destroyed a generation? That was the title of a viral essay by Dr. Jean Twenge in The Atlantic in 2017, which first catapulted her work into the spotlight. For years before The Anxious Generation, Dr. Twenge (who now collaborates with Jonathan Haidt) was raising the alarm about social media use and teen mental health. Now, Dr. Twenge has released clear guidelines for parents on how to manage the technology in their kids’ lives. In this episode, we interrogate the evidence linking anxiety and depression to social media use and hear about the non-negotiable solutions Dr. Twenge lays out in her new book, 10 Rules for Raising Kids in a High-Tech World.

  • The New Digg Wants to Bring Back a Peaceful Internet

    The New Digg Wants to Bring Back a Peaceful Internet
    Oct 27 2025
    Roughly 20 years ago, Digg was known as the homepage of the internet. The social and news platform was so big that Alexis Ohanian, the founder of Reddit, referred to it as “the enemy.” But things have changed, and this year, the site's original founder Kevin Rose teamed up with Ohanian to revamp and relaunch Digg. Now, in this age of AI, the new Digg is betting on the long-term value of real human connection. Kevin Rose tells Henry his plans to make a social platform that might actually be good for humanity: from how Digg will authenticate a "heartbeat" behind its users, to its ambitions to pay moderators and become a “living breathing social Substack.” Learn more about your ad choices.
