For decades, Big Food has been marketing products to people who can’t seem to stop eating, and now, suddenly, they can. The active ingredient in new drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound mimics a natural hormone that slows digestion and signals fullness to the brain.Around seven million Americans take these

drugs, but estimates from Morgan Stanley suggest that number could increase to 24 million within the next decade. More than 100 million American adults are obese, and the drugs may eventually be rolled out to people who don’t have diabetes or obesity, as they seem to tame addictions beyond food — appearing to make cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes more resistible. Research is at an early stage, but the drugs may also cut the risk of stroke, heart and kidney disease, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.Major food companies are scrambling to research the impact of the drugs on their brands — and figure out how to adjust. But for Mattson, which has invented products for the nation’s biggest food conglomerates for nearly 50 years, the Ozempic threat could be a boon.

Episode Shownotes​

By the time Sam Apple pulled up with his goldendoodle, Steve, to their resting place, he was tired from the long drive and already second-guessing his plan. He felt a little better when they stepped inside the Dogwood Acres Pet Retreat. The lobby, with its elegant tiled entrance, might have

passed for the lobby of any small countryside hotel, at least one that strongly favored dog-themed decor. But this illusion was broken when the receptionist reviewed their reservation — which, in addition to their luxury suite, included cuddle time, group play, a nature walk and a “belly rub tuck-in.”Venues like this one, on Kent Island in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, didn’t exist when Apple was growing up in the 1980s. If you needed a place to board your dog back then, you went to a kennel, where your dog spent virtually the entire day in a small — and probably not very clean — cage. There were no tuck-ins, no bedtime stories, no dog-bone-shaped swimming pools. There was certainly nothing like today’s most upscale canine resorts, where the dogs sleep on queen-size beds and the spa offerings include mud baths and blueberry facials; one pet-hotel franchise on the West Coast will even pick up your dog in a Lamborghini. Apple knew Dogwood Acres wouldn’t be quite as luxurious as that, but the accommodations still sounded pretty nice. So he decided to check his dog in, and to tag along for the journey.

Summary​

Sam Apple shares his journey with his goldendoodle, Steve, visiting luxury dog hotels, particularly Dogwood Acres on Kent Island, Maryland. He reflects on the evolution of dog boarding from basic kennels in the 1980s to today's extravagant facilities, questioning the excessive pampering of pets and its implications on human-animal relationships. The discussion reveals a significant increase in spending on pet care, showcasing how societal loneliness may be filled with deeper bonds between humans and pets, albeit without clear benefits to human well-being.

Summary​

In 2024, television is described as 'Mid-TV', highlighting a decline from the era of prestige TV characterized by innovative storytelling. Critics mention a saturation of mediocre content driven by streaming algorithms that favor familiarity over originality. Despite this, original shows like 'We Are Lady Parts' and 'Fantasmas' stand out. The film landscape is also dominated by sequels, yet notable films such as 'All We Imagine is Light' and 'Furiosa' offer fresh narratives. Critics express a complex environment in arts and culture as they highlight both original works and the impacts of industry trends.

Singing alongside her were her supportive — and emotional — musician friends, including Brandi Carlile, Marcus Mumford, Wynonna Judd and Annie Lennox.Our critic

Wesley Morris had his doubts. What was really happening here? Did Joni Mitchell even want this? Or were her younger adoring musician fans propping her up for their own reasons? When he learned this fall that Joni would be appearing onstage again, at the Hollywood Bowl, he bought a ticket to see for himself.On today’s episode, Wesley talks with his editor Sasha Weiss about the concert, and what it’s like to experience an 80-year-old in full command of her meaning.Guest: Wesley Morris, a critic at large for The New York Times.Sasha Weiss, the deputy editor of the The New York Times Magazine.Background reading: 50 Reasons to Love Joni Mitchell’s “Blue”For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

Summary​

The episode discusses the potential for President Biden to advance women's rights by supporting the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). Despite passing both the House and Senate in the 1970s, the ERA has faced opposition and legal challenges that hinder its ratification. Current political dynamics, especially the implications of the recent Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, heighten calls for its recognition as the 28th Amendment. Democrats argue that it provides essential protections for women, particularly regarding reproductive rights, urging Biden to take action despite potential Republican pushback.

Episode Shownotes​

His wife was spiraling into insomnia, and his children were afraid to go to school, so Jaime Cachua sought out the person he trusted most in a crisis. He sat at his kitchen table in rural Georgia across from his father-in-law, Sky Atkins, the family patriarch. Jaime, 33, hadn’t seen

his own father since he was 10 months old, when he left Mexico in a car seat bound for the United States.“We have to prepare for the worst-case scenario,” Jaime told him. “There’s a chance we could lose everything.”Jaime muted the football game on TV and began to explain his new reality as an undocumented immigrant after the election of Donald Trump, who had won the presidency in part by promising to deport more than 11 million people living in the country illegally.“I’m going to be straight with you,” Sky told Jaime. “I voted for Trump. I believe in a lot of what he says.”“I figured as much,” Jaime said. “You and just about everyone else around here.”“It’s about protecting our rights as a sovereign country,” Sky said. “We need to shut down the infiltration on the border. It’s not about you.”“It is about me,” Jaime said. “That’s the thing I don’t understand.” Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

I'm in Damascus, capital of Syria right now, and I'm walking through a prison that's underneath one of the intelligence branches in the capital.

00:00:23 Speaker_00
There are these three solitary confinement rooms, and etched onto the walls are messages from prisoners who were held here. One of the messages says, I love you, Mom. There are others that are praying to God. There's also an etching of a mosque.

00:00:44 Speaker_00
What's inside that folder? And earlier, as we were going through the building, we found a folder with pictures of what looked like prisoners who had been tortured and killed.

Episode Shownotes​

“You couldn’t have made this movie three years ago,” said Robert Zemeckis, the director of “Here.”The film stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, and is based on a 2014 graphic novel that takes place in a single spot in the world over several centuries. The story mostly takes place in

a suburban New Jersey living room. It skips back and forth through time, but focuses on a baby-boomer couple — played by Hanks and Wright — at various stages of their lives, from age 18 into their 80s.Before A.I. software, Zemeckis could have had multiple actors play each character, but the audience might have gotten lost trying to keep track. Conventional makeup could have taken a decade off Hanks, who is now 68, but not half a century. The issue with C.G.I. is time and money. Persuading us that we’re watching Hanks and Wright in their 20s would have required hundreds of visual effects artists, tens of millions of dollars and months of postproduction work. A.I. software, though, changed all that accounting. Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

Summary​

In this episode of 'The Daily,' Carlotta Gall examines the sudden collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, which had ruled through repression for over 50 years. The fall occurred amid weakened international support as Russia and Iran became distracted by other conflicts. The offensive led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) accelerated the regime's downfall, resulting in mixed emotions of hope and fear among Syrians—joy from the liberation and anxiety about future violence and power struggles. HTS's transformation raises questions about governance and the uncertain pathway ahead for Syria post-Assad.

Summary​

In this episode of The Daily, Peter Baker discusses President Biden's unprecedented decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, before sentencing. This move contradicts his previous commitment to a non-political Justice Department and raises concerns about the integrity of the U.S. justice system. The pardon, which potentially shields Hunter from future prosecution, is justified by Biden as a father's response to his son's struggles with addiction. The decision has sparked debates on its political implications, with critics arguing it undermines accountability and reflects a political climate influenced by the upcoming Trump administration.

Summary​

In this episode, the focus is on President-elect Donald Trump intensifying his tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China to revive American manufacturing jobs. Trade reporter Ana Swanson analyzes the impact of Trump's tariffs during his first term, which initially boosted U.S. steel production but also led to rising prices for industries dependent on these materials. In contrast, President Biden's approach emphasizes direct investments in manufacturing, particularly in high-tech sectors. The coexistence of these protectionist strategies raises questions about their long-term effects on the U.S. economy and manufacturing jobs.

Summary​

As tensions rose in the Ukraine conflict just weeks before Donald Trump's inauguration, the situation became increasingly volatile. Ukraine's military actions extended into the Russian Kursk region, prompting a military alliance with North Korea and major shifts in U.S. policy under the Biden administration, including permission for Ukraine to use American-made missiles for deeper strikes into Russia. In response, Russia revised its nuclear strategy, heightening global risks. Both nations are now navigating complex negotiation dynamics amid ongoing territorial struggles, foreshadowing a challenging new phase in U.S.-Ukraine relations under Trump's presidency.

The Sunday Read: ‘How Cheerleading Became So Acrobatic, Dangerous and Popular’

Author: The New York Times
Duration: 01:10:02

Episode Shownotes​

Nationwide, just over a million children, mostly girls, participate in cheer each year (some estimates are even higher), more than the number who play softball or lacrosse. And almost every part of that world is dominated by a single company: Varsity Spirit.It’s hard to cheer at the youth, high school

or collegiate level without putting money in the company’s pocket. Varsity operates summer camps where children learn to do stunts and perform; it hosts events where they compete; it sells pompoms they shake and uniforms they wear on the sidelines of high school and college football games.Varsity’s market power has made the cheer world a paranoid place. In the reporting for this article, dozens of people spoke about the company in conspiratorial tones better suited to a spy thriller.

Summary​

In this episode, The New York Times examines the evolution of cheerleading into a complex and dangerous sport, largely shaped by Varsity Spirit's significant influence. Varsity Spirit, compared to monopolistic tech firms, has a commanding presence in cheerleading through its camps, competitions, and merchandise sales. While cheerleading has grown in popularity, increasing injuries and financial burdens raise concerns about safety and corporate control. The episode also highlights the darker aspects of the culture, including reports of coaching abuse and the ethical implications of Varsity's operations.

From The New York Times, this is The Interview. I'm David Marchese. All right, today's episode is a little different. It's kind of more about a topic than it is a specific person.

00:00:18 Speaker_02
That topic is the controversial subject of medical assistance in dying, also known by the acronym MAID. That's the term for when patients legally receive help from medical practitioners with ending their lives.

00:00:30 Speaker_02
Here in the U.S., MAID is currently legal in 10 states and the District of Columbia. Patients have to be terminally ill in order to be eligible.

From The New York Times, this is The Interview. I'm Lulu Garcia-Navarro. Perhaps no Democratic politician has been a greater antagonist of Donald Trump than Nancy Pelosi.

00:00:19 Speaker_02
As the leader of the House Democrats between 2007 and 2023, she participated in two Trump impeachments, memorably ripped up a copy of Trump's last State of the Union after he delivered it, and had an angry mob on January 6th hunting for her inside the Capitol.

00:00:36 Speaker_02
And over the summer, it was Pelosi who was reportedly a key voice in convincing Biden to step down and give another Democrat a shot at beating Trump. Well, we all know now how that story ended.
