Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
In today’s episode, Vox host Jonquilyn Hill talks to New York Magazine writer Rachel Handler, who spent seven months investigating that question and uncovered a story that goes well beyond candy. Handler explains how manufacturing has changed, what chocolate reveals about corporate profits and inequality, and why even life’s smallest pleasures increasingly feel like luxuries.
They explore the hidden costs of convenience, whether we’ve learned to like inferior products, and the indignity of being told nothing has changed, even when we can taste the difference. What do we lose when we stop expecting everyday things to be good? And what would it take to make a decent chocolate bar an ordinary pleasure everyone can afford?

They have no idea when a robotic probe will stroke their soles, which foot it will be, or how it will feel. While the robot works, Konstantina Kilteni and her team track brain activity, heart rate, breathing, and every flinch, grin, and fit of laughter. The goal is to pin down how speed, pressure, and duration turn an ordinary touch into a tickle.

- There’s been a lot of “communist” talk on the midterms campaign trail. It’s become Trump’s favorite new perceived threat coming from the left. But it’s actually not new at all.
US politicians, especially on the right, have long described communism as a threat to the American way of life. As a result, the United States has undergone historical periods of intense and occasionally violent means to suppress the spread of communism. Beyond the clash between capitalism and communism as economic systems, a line is often drawn between communist ideology and religion in America, specifically Christianity.
In the 1950s, President Dwight D. Eisenhower added the words “Under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance, doubling down on the Christian values of an anti-communist America. The phrase “In God We Trust” was also added to US currency. As evangelical Christians grew into a crucial voting bloc for the Republican party, communist accusations against the ...

- Someone else can make you squirm with one touch, but try tickling yourself, and nothing happens. Why? Investigator Konstantina Kilteni went looking for answers and found something surprising. Socrates, Aristotle, Galileo, and Darwin all wondered about tickling, but there’s very little actual research on it. Two millennia later, we still don’t know what ticklishness is for.
This week on Unexplainable, Noam Hassenfeld asks Konstantina what’s going on in our brains when we get tickled. Watch the full episode on Netflix or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

In today’s episode, Vox reporter and producer Miles Bryan talks with long-time national security journalist Sharon Weinberger, author of Valley of Death: How Big Tech Is Fueling the Future of War. The book traces Silicon Valley’s deep ties to the military and its return to the weapons business through companies like Palantir, SpaceX, and Anduril. Sharon says this raises troubling questions of how private funding gives tech founders greater control over military technology, and whether their promises of innovation justify risks to accountability.
In this episode, Miles and Sharon explore the surprising CIA contract that helped keep Steve Jobs’s company afloat, how “tech companies” sell their vis...

- Nevada is in many ways “ground zero” for this year’s midterms. The state swung to the right in 2024 and voted for Donald Trump. Now, many voters there are grappling with buyer’s remorse.
Between tariffs that hit Canadian and Mexican tourism and aggressive immigration enforcement affecting local communities, workers are seeing their shifts cut and paychecks shrink, something many are now calling the “Trump slump.”
We followed canvassers from the Culinary Workers Union—an important local political force—to see how direct voter engagement works in one of the country's most critical swing states.

- Black student enrollment has dropped at the top 50 most selective universities in the US. For example, prior to the end of race-based affirmative action in 2023, Black students made up 18% of the freshman class at Harvard; for the class of 2029, they’ll only be 11.5% of the student body.
But this shift in where students are attending college has also led to a modern HBCU renaissance. Historically Black colleges and universities are seeing record-breaking applications.

In this episode, Vox host Jonquilyn Hill talks with Idrees Kahloon, staff writer at the Atlantic, about why he believes America has become a gerontocracy – a government whose rulers are older than the rest of the population. There’s the age of political leaders in Congress and the White House. And there’s also the economic impact of having Americans over the age of 55 holding nearly three-quarters of the nation's wealth.
Jonquilyn and Idrees examine how this demographic and economic shift came to pass over the last several decades. They get into the political taboo over reforming Social Security and Medicare, the impact of housing market restrictions and zoning on younger home buyers, and the ways that government spending heavily favors older voters.

- HBCUs are having a moment.
Many historically Black colleges and universities have seen record-breaking enrollment numbers in their recent freshman classes. But on the flip side of that surge, Black freshman enrollment is actually down by 27 percent among the top 50 most selective institutions in the United States. And there are some big explanations behind these shifts.
As the landscape of higher education has evolved from the eras of segregation to the civil rights movement to Trump-era racial politics, Black students have had to adapt on college campuses nationwide as government mandates, school policies, and the dismantling of affirmative action have impacted their education over the years.
Hosted by Kahlil Greene, this video is part of our new series Kahlil Explains that unites Vox’s unique brand of explainer journalism with Greene’s expertise in how politics and culture shape society. This first episode traces the history of HBCUs and th...
