- The Lindsay Clancy trial has captivated the nation for weeks now. Breakdowns of the case — and conspiracy theories, too — have saturated social media, with people searching for answers to questions like: How could a suburban mother kill her three children? Was the husband, Patrick Clancy, involved somehow? What can we all do to prevent this from happening to our loved ones or even us?
While some content creators are cautious about being ethical and sticking to the facts, others indulge in conspiracies or crime-solving narratives that enter a sticky ethical gray area. It all points to our fascination with true crime, and how we use these stories to bring larger societal issues to light.
Crime historian and podcaster Kate Winkler Dawson and true crime content creator Haley Price share their experiences working in the world of true crime — and why it’s important to remember that at the center of these stories are real people.

- The US has more than 8,700 farmers markets, where roughly 40,000 farmers sell their products. Recently, they’ve been getting a bit more attention thanks to a series of high-profile food recalls. Americans’ confidence in the safety of their food is being tested, and buying direct from your local farm could be the answer.
Some produce travels hundreds or thousands of miles from where it’s grown to where it’s sold, passing through processing, storage, and distribution facilities. One advantage of a small local farm is the direct journey the produce takes from the field to the customer. But how does a small family farm business compete with major grocery stores for customers, and what’s behind their sales pitch for safer and fresher food? Vox producer Benjamin Stephen took a drive out to Camarillo, California, to a small family farm to find out. #food #health #farmers

- Freud was more right than you think | The Gray Area
- Runtime

- Description
- Sigmund Freud is probably the most famous psychoanalyst. Yet many of his theories have been critiqued or discredited. So is there anything we can still learn from the father of psychoanalysis?

In today’s episode Sean speaks with professor Mark Solms, author of The Only Cure: Freud and the Neuroscience of Mental Healing. Mark argues that while Freud may have been wrong about many things, he was right about one important thing: the human mind cannot be fully understood on purely biological terms. He believes that modern psychiatry has become focused on treating mental suffering like a chemical problem, instead of focusing on emotional and psychological aspects.
Sean and Mark discuss the conscious versus the unconscious mind, whether psychoanalysis is the best therapy, and why Freud is still relevant today.

- Description
- Democrats have been duking it out all summer. An insurgent left has been driving the moderate establishment up a wall, with high-profile wins in places like New York, Colorado, and Michigan.
But a big loss in Wisconsin for democratic socialist Francesca Hong has complicated the left’s narrative, and the battle between progressive momentum and establishment resilience has yet to be decided. At the center of it all is the leftist Twitch streamer and political commentator Hasan Piker. He joins Vox’s Astead Herndon once more to discuss the fault lines that will define the Democratic party’s future this November.

- Description
- The internet is rife with chatter about “heteropessimism,” the feeling that gender relations are broken and heterosexual relationships are doomed. But is this just cynical discourse, like a coping mechanism for bad dates? Or is this a symptom of a much deeper, systemic breakdown?
Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
In this episode of The Gray Area, guest host Jonquilyn Hill is joined by Sarah Jones, senior writer for The Intelligencer. Together, they peel back the performative irony to look at the harsh realities of dating in a post-Dobbs, politically volatile United States.
From the economic structures that make leaving bad relationships feel impossible, to the "manosphere" versus the "pink pill," Sarah and Jonquilyn discuss why we are struggling to connect — and why "hopeful pessimism" might be the most responsible way to build a future.

- As social media platforms like TikTok get inundated with more and more content, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to monetize on the platform — AKA, become an influencer. A huge part of this has to do with AI, said New York Magazine features writer Rebecca Jennings, because “everything is just, like, slop.”

- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just announced that she’s freezing her eggs, putting a spotlight on a fertility treatment that’s becoming increasingly common but remains out of reach for millions of Americans.
Egg freezing can give people more control over when they have children, but it can cost $10,000 to $20,000, and most insurance plans don’t cover it. And cost isn’t the only barrier: knowing when to freeze your eggs can have a major impact on the chances of success. #EggFreezing #Fertility #aoc

- As the price of everything rises, millennials are looking to their parents for help. Although a majority of parents in America help their children financially in some capacity, there is a contingent of boomers who insist their children pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
Charlotte Cowles, a financial columnist for The Cut, spoke to some of these millennials and their boomer parents about why the kids want the money now and why their parents want to wait. She told Vox’s Today, Explained podcast that the assumptions about money made by both the parents and children are stopping families from having much-needed conversations about finances.

In today’s episode, guest host Jonquilyn Hill speaks with Atlantic staff writer Rose Horowitch. In her recent cover story, Rose argues that we are entering a postliterate age. Although we’re surrounded by text — like emails, text messages, and notifications — we no longer have an interest in reading longer, book-length content.
Jonquilyn and Rose discuss how the digital age has transformed the way we consume information, what deep reading teaches us that scrolling can't, and how being postliterate is changing our politics and culture.
