It won’t be easy. It will take a vast coalition of Democrats, independents and Republicans in a bright red state that President Trump won by about 14 percentage points in 2024 — and where Republicans have plowed hundreds of millions of dollars into beating Mr. Talarico. And yet, poll after poll shows that Mr. Talarico could pull it off and defeat his Republican rival, Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general and a Trump ally. On Monday, nearly two weeks before Election Day, Michael Barbaro spoke with Mr. Talarico about the kind of race he’s running, why it has succeeded so far in appealing to Republicans and what he wants Democrats to do if they flip control of the Senate on Nov. 3.Guest: James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas.Background reading: <ul><li>Top Democrats, who have long been hesitant to spend money in Texas, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/us/politics/james-talarico-ken-paxton-texas-senate-race-money.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">have started to back Mr. Talarico</a>.</li></ul> For more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.

What became clear, though, was that Fielder was less interested in helping business owners generate profits than he was in understanding the people ensnared in his plots. His next project, the HBO series “The Rehearsal,” was a similar offbeat portrait of offbeat people. At the center of both projects is Fielder himself, a documentarian whose motives can sometimes be hard to parse.This week, Fielder’s first feature-length documentary, “You Can See Everything,” hits theaters. Co-directed by Lance Oppenheim, the movie shows Fielder embedding himself into the life of the disgraced Theranos founder and felon Elizabeth Holmes in the days leading up to her imprisonment for fraud. The film caused a big splash when it debuted at the Telluride Film Festival, in part because it presents Holmes, a mysterious and compelling cultural figure, through the eyes of Fielder, a mysterious and compelling filmmaker.This week, the Times movie critic Alissa Wilkinson and critic at large Jason Zinoman, who covers comedy, join Michael Barbaro for a spoiler-free discussion of Nathan Fielder, his career, and why he might be the perfect person to tell the story of Elizabeth Holmes. On Today’s Episode<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/alissa-wilkinson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alissa Wilkinson</a>, a movie critic at The New York Times.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/jason-zinoman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jason Zinoman</a>, a critic at large for the Culture section of The New York Times. Background Reading<ul><li>‘The Real World’ and Nathan Fielder can both thank <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/movies/ross-mcelwee-the-real-world-nathan-fielder.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this cult filmmaker.</a></li><li>‘You Can See Everything,’ <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/movies/elizabeth-holmes-documentary-nathan-fielder-you-can-see-everything.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">if you could only secure a ticket.</a></li></ul> Photo: A24, via Associated Press For more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.

The political environment stirred up by those farmers’ strife could allow the Democrats to seize the moment and elect one of theirs to the Senate or the governor’s mansion for the first time in 20 years — making Iowa potentially one of the most important states on the map this midterm cycle.Today, we follow Caleb Renner, a young farmer in north central Iowa, as he shows the effects of the past two years on his community and talks about why those effects may lead him to turn on the Republican Party for the first time, and whether that will translate into support for Democrats.Guest: Caleb Renner, a farmer in Klemme, Iowa.Background reading: <ul><li>Who’s winning <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/us/whos-winning-the-race-for-congress.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the race for Congress?</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/us/politics/trump-republicans-midterms-break.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘Survival Mode Time’</a>: Republicans accelerate their break with Trump.</li></ul>Photo: KC McGinnis for The New York TimesFor more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.

The political environment stirred up by those farmers’ strife could allow the Democrats to seize the moment and elect one of theirs to the Senate or the governor’s mansion for the first time in 20 years — making Iowa potentially one of the most important states on the map this midterm cycle.Today, we follow Caleb Renner, a young farmer in north central Iowa, as he shows the effects of the past two years on his community and talks about why those effects may lead him to turn on the Republican Party for the first time, and whether that will translate into support for Democrats.Guest: Caleb Renner, a farmer in Klemme, Iowa.Background reading: <ul><li>Who’s winning <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/us/whos-winning-the-race-for-congress.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the race for Congress?</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/us/politics/trump-republicans-midterms-break.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘Survival Mode Time’</a>: Republicans accelerate their break with Trump.</li></ul>Photo: KC McGinnis for The New York TimesFor more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.

According to a report from the National Restaurant Association, 42 percent of restaurant owners said they weren’t profitable in 2025. Many of them were at serious risk of closing.In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Brett talks with our host Michael Barbaro about the economic realities that are forcing businesses to rethink the entire concept of a restaurant, including a radical experiment at one Minneapolis diner that stopped charging for food entirely.On Today’s Episode:<ul><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/brett-anderson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brett Anderson</a>, a reporter for the Food section of The New York Times.</li></ul>Background Reading:<ul><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/dining/post-modern-times-minneapolis-free-food.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">This Restaurant Stopped Charging for Food.

The world’s best players are heading to the U.S.T.A. Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, N.Y., to battle it out for the chance to play a championship match at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the largest tennis arena in the world. The players come freighted with great expectations, previous victories and defeats, aches and pains, personal dramas and professional rivalries, all of which they will carry with them out on the court when they play. Tennis is a game that exposes a lot about its players, which is one of the things that makes it so beloved around the world. In this episode of the “Sunday Daily,” the host Natalie Kitroeff talks with Matthew Futterman, a senior tennis writer for The Athletic and the author of “The Cruelest Game: Chasing Greatness in Professional Tennis,” about this year’s crop of players. They’ll dig into the biggest rivalries and dramas brewing in the tournament ahead.

They introduced some innovations to America’s pastime, including twerking umpires, stilt-walking pitchers and TikTok-ready choreographed dance numbers. They tinkered with the rules of baseball, making a game that was shorter and faster, with plenty of opportunities for fan engagement. The result? A sports sensation. In the 10 years since its founding, the team has become one of the most popular sports organizations in the world, reaching tens of millions of fans online, with a waiting list of millions of others hoping to see a game in person. For many, the Bananas are the ultimate sports success story, one that shows a path forward for teams and leagues concerned about fan retention in an era of shortened attention spans and endless entertainment options. But others take a less rosy view of the Bananas and their hyper-energetic brand of baseball, seeing them as an existential threat to a game that fans have loved for more than a hundred years.

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. In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Komolafe tells Rachel Abrams about what happened and how, after everything, she made her way back into the kitchen.

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. In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Komolafe tells Rachel Abrams about what happened and how, after everything, she made her way back into the kitchen. On Today’s Episode: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/yewande-komolafe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yewande Komolafe</a> is a cooking columnist for The New York Times.

Everything.</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/what-s-epic-about-the-odyssey-everything--76185287</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.

Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, is asking why millions of Americans have been taking psychiatric drugs for far longer than ever intended. In the process, he’s highlighting an open secret in medicine: that doctors are better at starting drug treatments than at stopping them, and that patients who want to end their treatment are increasingly taking matters into their own hands.

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.

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 For more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.

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.

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. On this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” the host Rachel Abrams talks with Susan Dominus, a staff writer at The New York Times Magazine, about this new research, the scientists behind it and who is funding this scientific quest for longer lives.

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.

Gen. Stanley McChrystal joins the columnist David French, both veterans of the Iraq War, to discuss what may have been overlooked in the planning of Operation Epic Fury. McChrystal, who retired from the Army in 2010, argues that the United States often overestimates the decisive power of aerial bombing while underestimating the weight of historical grievance. And the general weighs in on the current culture of bravado coming from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. This conversation was recorded on Friday, March 20.  Thoughts? Questions?

Stanley McChrystal joins the columnist David French, both veterans of the Iraq War, to discuss what may have been overlooked in the planning of Operation Epic Fury. McChrystal, who retired from the Army in 2010, argues that the United States often overestimates the decisive power of aerial bombing while underestimating the weight of historical grievance. And the general weighs in on the current culture of bravado coming from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. This conversation was recorded on Friday, March 20.  Thoughts? Questions?

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. Christina Goldbaum, The New York Times’s bureau chief in Beirut, explains how the crisis in Lebanon connects to the broader war, what Israel hopes to achieve and what people in Lebanon fear might come next.

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.

New research suggests Neanderthals might have been less primitive — and a lot more like modern humans — than we might have thought.The Times science reporters Carl Zimmer and Franz Lidz discuss recent discoveries about Neanderthals, and what those discoveries can tell us about the origins of humanity. On Today’s Episode:<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/carl-zimmer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carl Zimmer</a> writes the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/column/origins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Origins column</a> and covers news about science for The Times.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/franz-lidz" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Franz Lidz</a> writes about archaeology for The Times. Background Reading:<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/science/archaeology-neanderthals-genetics.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Year in Neanderthals</a><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/14/science/neanderthal-sleep-morning-people.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Morning Person?

Trump was sworn into his second term as president, he has fired, pardoned, prosecuted, tariffed, deployed, deposed, dismantled and deported his way to a new kind of American government, one designed almost entirely in his image. In the process, he has not only transformed the federal government, he has also changed, possibly forever, the very nature of the American presidency.On today’s episode, Michael Barbaro speaks with three longtime chroniclers of Trump’s presidency about how to make sense of what Trump has done over the past year and what his next three years in office might bring.Guests:<ul><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/maggie-haberman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Maggie Haberman</a>, a White House correspondent for The New York Times.</li><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/jonathan-swan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jonathan Swan</a>, a White House reporter for The New York Times.</li><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/charlie-savage" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Charlie Savage</a>, who covers national security and legal policy for The New York Times.</li></ul>For more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.Photo: Kenny Holston/The New York TImes For more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.

Trump was sworn into his second term as president, he has fired, pardoned, prosecuted, tariffed, deployed, deposed, dismantled and deported his way to a new kind of American government, one designed almost entirely in his image.

Wildfires, Part 1</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-wirecutter-show-the-true-cost-of-recovering-from-the-l-a-wildfires-part-1--76186391</link><description><![CDATA[On January 7, 2025, the Palisades and Eaton Fires erupted, eventually burning down more than 16,000 structures and killing <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/us/los-angeles-fires-victim.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">at least 31 people</a>, becoming among the most destructive and deadly wildfires in California’s history.  Two Wirecutter writers, Gregory Han and Mike Cohen, lived through the Eaton fire. Both lived in Altadena, just outside Los Angeles. Gregory’s home was damaged, while Mike’s burned to the ground. They collaborated on <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/la-wildfire-recovery/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an article sharing their biggest lessons of recovery</a>, which Wirecutter published last July, as part of our <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/emergency-preparedness/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">emergency preparation coverage</a>.  Now, in a special podcast series, they are sharing the biggest lessons they’ve learned from the past year–—and what they can teach you about how to prepare for a disaster.  Unfortunately, climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent, more intense, and more unpredictable. In the last year alone, we’ve seen cataclysmic floods in the Texas Hill Country, deadly tornadoes in many parts of the U.S., and increasing flash floods across the country, just to name a few. No one is completely insulated from these types of events.  In this first episode, we’ll introduce you to Gregory and Mike, and why they think it’s imperative to invest in your community before a disaster.  You can listen to parts two and three of this series <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/the-wirecutter-show-podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. Part three will be published on Jan. 12. Actionable steps you can take from this episode:<ul><li>Invest in your community before a disaster. Information can be hard to come by during and in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. This is when knowing your neighbors can be invaluable. Both Gregory and Mike relied on neighbors and others in their community for information before, during, and after the fires. They’ve continued to share resources with this community as they’ve worked toward recovery over the past year.</li><li>Create an easy way to communicate with your neighbors. This could be a text chain or a group chat–through something like WhatsApp or GroupMe. Maybe you’re already involved with a group that may eventually help in an emergency. Mike’s neighborhood thread started as a group of local dog owners before the fire.</li><li>Join a volunteer organization in your community. After the fires, Gregory joined a group to do brush cleanup, which has helped deepen his connection with the people who live close to him.</li></ul> You can find out more about Gregory Han on his <a href="http://gregoryhan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">website</a> and on Instagram @typefiend Additional reading:<ul><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/la-wildfire-recovery/?utm_source=the_wirecutter_show&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=episode_number_74" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The LA Wildfires Devastated the Homes of Two Wirecutter Writers.

Both lived in Altadena, just outside Los Angeles. Gregory’s home was damaged, while Mike’s burned to the ground. They collaborated on <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/la-wildfire-recovery/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an article sharing their biggest lessons of recovery</a>, which Wirecutter published last July, as part of our <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/emergency-preparedness/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">emergency preparation coverage</a>.  Now, in a special podcast series, they are sharing the biggest lessons they’ve learned from the past year–—and what they can teach you about how to prepare for a disaster.  Unfortunately, climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent, more intense, and more unpredictable. In the last year alone, we’ve seen cataclysmic floods in the Texas Hill Country, deadly tornadoes in many parts of the U.S., and increasing flash floods across the country, just to name a few. No one is completely insulated from these types of events.  In this first episode, we’ll introduce you to Gregory and Mike, and why they think it’s imperative to invest in your community before a disaster.  You can listen to parts two and three of this series <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/the-wirecutter-show-podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. Part three will be published on Jan. 12. Actionable steps you can take from this episode:<ul><li>Invest in your community before a disaster. Information can be hard to come by during and in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. This is when knowing your neighbors can be invaluable. Both Gregory and Mike relied on neighbors and others in their community for information before, during, and after the fires. They’ve continued to share resources with this community as they’ve worked toward recovery over the past year.</li><li>Create an easy way to communicate with your neighbors. This could be a text chain or a group chat–through something like WhatsApp or GroupMe. Maybe you’re already involved with a group that may eventually help in an emergency. Mike’s neighborhood thread started as a group of local dog owners before the fire.</li><li>Join a volunteer organization in your community. After the fires, Gregory joined a group to do brush cleanup, which has helped deepen his connection with the people who live close to him.</li></ul> You can find out more about Gregory Han on his <a href="http://gregoryhan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">website</a> and on Instagram @typefiend Additional reading:<ul><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/la-wildfire-recovery/?utm_source=the_wirecutter_show&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=episode_number_74" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The LA Wildfires Devastated the Homes of Two Wirecutter Writers.

Along the way, the disorder also became an identity, embraced by college graduates and even by some of the world’s most successful people, like Elon Musk and Bill Gates.Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has called the steep rise in autism cases “an epidemic.” He blames theories of causality that mainstream scientists reject — like vaccines and, more recently, Tylenol — and has instructed the C.D.C. to abandon its longstanding position that vaccines do not cause autism.Today, Azeen Ghorayshi explains what’s really driving the increase in diagnoses.Guest: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/azeen-ghorayshi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Azeen Ghorayshi</a>, a science reporter for The New York Times.Background reading: <ul><li>Should the autism spectrum <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/health/autism-spectrum-neurodiversity-kennedy.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">be split apart</a>?</li><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/insider/autism-parents-causes-claims.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">There are no easy answers</a> for parents of children with autism.</li></ul>Photo: Eric Gay/Associated PressFor more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.

Mr. Auda’s story is about his family. His four young children were killed in airstrikes during the war, and his wife was seriously injured. He has been traveling back home in large part to find and bury the remains of two of his children, who had been in the rubble of his house after one of the airstrikes. We interviewed his wife, Rawa, and other relatives, and reviewed death certificates and video footage to help understand what happened to his family.In our reporting, The Times also learned that a cousin of Mr. Auda’s was a senior leader of Hamas in Gaza who was killed during the war last year. The Times asked Mr. Auda if he himself had any ties to Hamas. He said he was not a member of Hamas and not political, and had dozens of cousins. He said he had seen the one affiliated with Hamas just a couple of times in his life.Like other news organizations, The Times has not yet been able to send its own staff journalists into Gaza unescorted. This episode, like many other Times pieces for more than two years, seeks to help our audience understand the experiences of Gazans during a devastating war.Guest: <ul><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/rachelle-bonja" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rachelle Bonja</a>, a New York Times audio producer for “The Daily.”</li><li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/saher-alghorra" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saher Alghorra</a>, a photojournalist for The New York Times.</li><li>Nidal Kuhail​, ​a former restaurant worker ​whom The Times has spoken to over the course of the war.</li><li>Hussein Khaled Auda​, a former bodybuilder who ran a small gym in Jabalia.</li><li>Mohammed Abu Namous, a journalist in Gaza.</li></ul>Background reading: <ul><li>“Everything Is Gone”: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/world/middleeast/gaza-city-israel-hamas-cease-fire.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gazans return home</a> to find devastation and little hope.</li><li>Who were the 2,000 <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/world/middleeast/israel-palestinian-prisoners-freed.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Palestinians freed by Israel</a>?</li></ul>Photo: Saher Alghorra for The New York TimesFor more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.

How, exactly, would a 33-year-old member of the Democratic Socialists of America, with little management experience and a record of polarizing pronouncements, win over enough voters to prevail in the general election?So far, the polls suggest he’s doing just that.And so, a few days ago, “The Daily” sat down Mr. Mamdani for an extended conversation about his campaign, the forces and ideas that have animated it and his plans, if elected on Nov. 4, to deliver on his campaign promises and contend with a Republican president who has promised to treat him as an enemy from his first day in office.Guest: Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City.Background reading: <ul><li>Inside the improbable, audacious and (so far) unstoppable <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/magazine/zohran-mamdani-mayor-new-york.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rise of Zohran Mamdani</a>.</li></ul>Photo: Vincent Alban/The New York TimesFor more information on today’s episode, visit <a href="http://nytimes.com/thedaily?smid=pc-thedaily" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nytimes.com/thedaily</a>.
