The overwhelming evidence has pointed to his guilt, and the question on most minds has been: What might the defense of one of the most famous murder suspects in America look like?

To put it together, the team asked almost 300 authors and other experts to vote for the best heart-thumping, page-turning, white knuckle reads published since 2000.

She spent long hours there, first as a restaurant cook and later as a recipe developer. But though she loved the often-intense culinary world, she had to navigate it with certain limitations: She was born with sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder, which required her to carefully manage her working life. She did so successfully, becoming a celebrated cookbook author and food writer for The Times. A medical crisis in December 2023 changed all of that. Komolafe ended up in a coma for six weeks, and after emerging learned that both her legs and her fingers would need to be amputated.

Everything.</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/what-s-epic-about-the-odyssey-everything--74380169</link><description><![CDATA[This Friday, “The Odyssey,” directed by Christopher Nolan, hits theaters. Even before the movie’s release, though, it’s proving to be a cultural event. Spirited discussions of Nolan’s cinematic interpretation of the epic poem already abound online, and they are likely to intensify after the public sees the film. Why does a 12,000-line poem that is nearly 3,000 years old still feel resonant today? In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Natalie Kitroeff talks about the “Odyssey” with two writers who have produced some critically acclaimed and widely read modern interpretations of Greek classics: Emily Wilson, the first woman to translate the “Odyssey” from ancient Greek, and Madeline Miller, the author of the best-selling novels “Circe” and “Song of Achilles.” On Today’s Episode: <a href="https://www.emilyrcwilson.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Emily Wilson</a>, a professor, classicist, author and translator of the “Odyssey” <a href="https://madelinemiller.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Madeline Miller</a>, the author of “Circe,” “Song of Achilles” and other books Background Reading: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/09/books/review/odyssey-homer-romantasy-ghost-story-monster-high-seas.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">We’ll Help You Find Your Next Great Book.

Ellen Barry, a mental health reporter, takes us inside the growing movement to “deprescribe.” Guest: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/ellen-barry" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ellen Barry</a>, a reporter covering mental health for The New York Times.

But another man loomed behind Junod’s interest in these figures, informing his own sense of masculinity and manhood: his father, Lou. Lou Junod was handsome, charismatic — a man who seemed like a celebrity, even though he wasn’t famous. He was also mysterious, a keeper of secrets that have continued to reverberate through his son’s life. On today’s episode, Michael Barbaro talks with Junod about his new book, “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/books/review/in-the-days-of-my-youth-i-was-told-what-it-means-to-be-a-man-tom-junod.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man,</a>” which is part memoir and part detective story, as well as a powerful meditation on fatherhood.

Over the decades, Spielberg has directed several movies about what would happen if humanity made contact with aliens. Would the aliens be kind like the title character in “E.T. the Extra Terrestrial”? Would they be cruel like the murderous aliens of “War of the Worlds”? And regardless of what the aliens were like, would we humans be ready to receive them? Spielberg returns to the question of whether we’re alone in the universe, and what it might mean if we’re not, with his new film “Disclosure Day.” Today, he sits down with Rachel Abrams, a host of “The Daily,” to talk about the film, and about what he has learned over five decades of making movies about aliens.   On Today’s Episode Steven Spielberg, director of “Disclosure Day.”   Background Reading <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/movies/disclosure-day-review-steven-spielberg.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘Disclosure Day’ Review: Spielberg Plays His Greatest Cosmic Hits</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/magazine/steven-spielberg-movie-theater-disclosure-day.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">What Steven Spielberg Taught Me About Fear, Catharsis, and Being Human</a>   Photo credit: Paolo Pellegrin/Magnum, for The New York Times Subscribe today at <a href="http://nytimes.com/podcasts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/podcasts</a> or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

It’s also a big business; products, therapies and treatments intended to moderate or reverse aging are part of a $2 trillion global wellness market that’s only getting bigger. But there have been some recent breakthroughs in the science of longevity that could be pivotal for the field. These discoveries have to do with cellular rejuvenation, which is the idea that scientists could take a cell that has aged, and make it function like a younger version of itself.

But how to take the tens of thousands of songwriters working in this country and narrow them down to a digestible list? The answer involved thousands of voting ballots, hundreds of music industry insiders and a series of closed-door meetings among a small group of music experts. The result, The Times’s list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters, was published this week. Today, Michael Barbaro talks with Sasha Weiss, a deputy editor of The Times Magazine, who oversaw the project, as well as Joe Coscarelli and Jody Rosen, two members of the cadre of critics assigned with compiling the final list. They discuss the list-making process, what defines a great songwriter and why Billy Joel didn’t make the final cut. We also hear from some of the songwriters featured on the list, including Taylor Swift, Nile Rodgers and the songwriting team of Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne.   On Today's Episode: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/sasha-weiss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sasha Weiss</a> is a deputy editor of The New York Times Magazine. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/joe-coscarelli" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Coscarelli</a> is a culture reporter for The Times.

But that’s what the show “Every Brilliant Thing” is all about. Since 2013, Duncan Macmillan’s audience-participation-heavy play has been performed in dozens of languages in hundreds of locations across the globe. It revolves around a central character who writes a list of all the good things in life for a depressed parent. And while it tackles dark subject matter — including frequent mentions of a loved one’s suicide — it may be one of the funniest shows about depression, ever. In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Michael Barbaro talks with Daniel Radcliffe, who currently stars in a Broadway production of the show, and Mariska Hargitay, who will step into the role in a few weeks. We’ll also hear from the playwright and several other actors who have performed the play on stages, in living rooms, on basketball courts and aircraft carriers all over the world.   On today's episode: Daniel Radcliffe<br />  Mariska Hargitay<br />  Duncan Macmillan<br />  Candunn Jennette<br />  Greg Dragas<br />  Mugambi Nthiga<br />  Erika de la Vega<br />  Jung Sae-Byul<br />  Mohsina Akhter<br />  Tommy Schoffler<br />  Nanda Mohammad   Background reading: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/theater/daniel-radcliffe-every-brilliant-thing.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘Every Brilliant Thing,’ Now Starring Daniel Radcliffe and You</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/theater/every-brilliant-thing-review-daniel-radcliffe.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Radcliffe Makes ‘Every Brilliant Thing’ Shine</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/theater/daniel-radcliffe-every-brilliant-thing.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Radcliffe Wanted a Break From Broadway.

As a political reporter for The New York Times, Draper often talks to figures like Ms. Sinema. But on this occasion, he said, she wanted to tell him about how she had tried ibogaine, which is illegal in the United States. She’d become such a believer in the drug that she was pushing her home state of Arizona to fund clinical trials for veterans with combat-related trauma. Draper found that Ms. Sinema wasn’t the only politician to take up the cause. Rick Perry, the former Texas governor, Republican presidential candidate and Trump energy secretary, has also advocated for research into ibogaine in recent years and taken the drug himself. In 2025, because of Mr. Perry’s efforts, Texas became the first state to dedicate public funds to ibogaine research with veterans. Recent studies of ibogaine at Stanford University and elsewhere suggest that it might prove effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries, addiction and a range of other conditions. As Draper reported on ibogaine’s transformative effects on others, he wondered: Could it help <i>him</i>, too? Today, on “The Sunday Daily,” Natalie Kitroeff talks to Robert Draper about what drew him to travel to Mexico to try ibogaine, and how his trip changed his life.

As Draper reported on ibogaine’s transformative effects on others, he wondered: Could it help <i>him</i>, too? Today, on “The Sunday Daily,” Natalie Kitroeff talks to Robert Draper about what drew him to travel to Mexico to try ibogaine, and how his trip changed his life.

This spring, she has been starring in a sold-out new production of Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde” at the Metropolitan Opera. But she’s also at a crossroads: Her first performance as “Isolde” on the Met stage came just nine months after giving birth to twins.<br /><br />  Today on The Sunday Daily, Natalie Kitroeff talks with the Times writer Zachary Woolfe about his recent conversation with Davidsen, and the unexpected emotional weight she felt while returning to the stage as a new mother. They discuss how a production centered on birth, death and renewal gave Davidsen a way to work through this seismic shift in her life, all while tackling the role of a lifetime.

Israel has pummeled an area in the southern outskirts of Beirut where Hezbollah holds sway, as well as southern Lebanon, with airstrikes, displacing almost one million people. Israel has also expanded its assault into other parts of Beirut, the capital.

The job’s journalistic mission required Wells to eat out most nights and taste nearly everything on any given restaurant’s menu. He didn’t realize it at the time, but the excessive eating had taken a toll on his body. Then came a health crisis, followed by his doctor’s advice to “stop doing what you’re doing right now.” In 2024, Wells gave up his post as restaurant critic and set out to remake his entire relationship with food. On today’s episode, Michael Barbaro speaks with Wells about the realities of life as a restaurant critic, and what he’s learning about the joys of home cooking, mindful eating and grocery shopping for the diet he intends to follow.
