Thrifting has taken off in the last decade, from secondhand fashion to vintage records, especially with younger consumers wanting to shop more sustainably, tap into nostalgia, and curate unique styles that reject algorithmic trends.
However, with less foot traffic, high rent prices, and more people choosing to shop online rather than in-store, many brick and mortar businesses have been forced to pivot the way they reach their customers. Some have taken to listing their items on platforms like eBay or Depop, but an emerging group of vintage resellers are going a more active and rapid route: livestream selling. These small busi...

- America is losing big on sports betting | The Gray Area
- Date posted
- 9 months ago
- Description
- Almost every tech platform is designed to grab and hold your attention, to keep you clicking, scrolling, and buying for as long as possible.
Sports gambling has become one of the clearest examples of this. The industry has created frictionless apps on your phone that let you bet on everything from March Madness to a pregame coin toss to who wins a minor league British dart tournament.
While betting has become easier — and arguably fun — the cost of these apps is much higher than the money that is won and lost on them.
Today’s guest is Jonathan D. Cohen, author of Losing Big: America's Reckless Bet on Sports Gambling. He and Sean discuss the rise of sports betting, why the industry targets young men in their advertising, the social costs of frictionless sports gambling, and how the industry could be improved.

Every few years, someone declares the end of moviegoing. First it was cable, then VHS, then DVDs, streaming, and even COVID. And yet — the big screen persists.
Sure, the landscape has changed. Since 2019, the U.S. has lost nearly 5,000 movie theater screens. Big chains have struggled financially. Alamo Drafthouse, once independent, was recently acquired by Sony Pictures. And Netflix’s Ted Sarandos famously claimed that moviegoing is an “outdated concept.”
But people still love going to the movies — and independent movie theater owners are meeting that passion head-on.

- It’s time to get weird | The Gray Area
- Date posted
- 9 months ago
- Description
- The internet was supposed to set us free. But somewhere along the way, it became a tool for surveillance, extraction, and control. What happened? And is there still time to reclaim the weird, untapped potential of the digital world?
This week, Sean is joined by Douglas Rushkoff. He’s a media theorist, author of Survival of the Richest and Team Human, and host of the Team Human podcast. They trace the arc of the internet from its utopian beginnings to its corporate capture, and explore what it would take to build something different. Along the way, they talk about the loss of weirdness, the logic of capitalism, the dangers of scale, and the difference between systems thinking and systems feeling. They also reflect on whether it’s still possible to use technology to foster a more connected and communal life.

- What comes after the human?
We’re living through multiple crises — ecological, technological, political. But beneath all of that is something even deeper: a crisis of the self. Who are we, really? How did we come to see ourselves as separate from the world, from each other, from the systems that sustain us? And what if that way of thinking is what got us into this mess?
Today’s guest is Mark C. Taylor, philosopher, cultural critic, and author of After the Human. Mark and Sean discuss the philosophical roots of climate change, the dangers of individualism, the false promise of techno-utopianism, and what it might mean to shift from seeing ourselves as isolated egos to members of a vast, interdependent web. They talk about AI, death, Hegel, Descartes, hope, and why ideas matter.

- Why children get so many vaccines
- Date posted
- 10 months ago
- Description
- Children get a lot of shots in the first few years of life. Here’s why.
For decades parents and pediatricians have followed the CDC’s Childhood Immunization Schedule. It’s a monthly schedule that lays out the age a child should be vaccinated for common infectious diseases. Its main goal is to protect one of our most vulnerable populations: children, especially those under the age of one, and it’s been wildly successful at doing just that. Diseases like polio or measles that at one time left children paralyzed, brain damaged, or even dead were eliminated in the United States.
In recent years, more and more parents are choosing to delay or even outright omit parts of this schedule and to be fair… It IS a very overwhelming thing. Why do young children need so many shots so quickly?

- Can college survive Trump?
American higher education is under attack. Project 2025 laid out the battle plan pretty clearly: Get rid of the Department of Education, shut off federal funding, take control of the accreditation system, and take down diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. And in the end, change what students are encouraged to study and what professors are allowed to teach.
The questions we’re left with is why? And is it working?
Today’s guest is Michael Roth, president of Wesleyan University. He’s a vocal defender of higher education. But he’s also honest about where things have gone wrong and what needs to change. Michael and Sean discuss the Trump administration’s efforts to change universities and colleges, the potential societal effects of that effort, political biases on campus, the dangers of ideological conformity, and the value of a college education (what is even the point of going to college any more?).

- Understanding "hopeful pessimism" | The Gray Area
- Date posted
- 10 months ago
- Description
- We live in a culture obsessed with hope. We are trained to believe that being hopeful is the key to success. Stay positive. The sun will come out tomorrow. Keep the faith. But maintaining that kind of blind hope is hard. When our hopes are dashed, we often feel defeated.
In a world that’s filled with lots of dark clouds and very few silver linings, perhaps we need a better way to balance our hope and our pessimism.
In today’s episode, Sean interviews philosopher Mara van der Lugt about her new book Hopeful Pessimism. The two talk about how to sustain hope when you’re feeling pessimistic, the pitfalls of blind hope, and what the climate movement can teach us about staying motivated when success is unlikely.

What’s the point of college if no one’s actually doing the work? It’s not a rhetorical question. In the age of AI, it's incredibly easy for students to offload their assignments. AI tools can write essays, make study guides, and even complete whole assignments.
So what is the point of higher education?
In today’s episode, Sean speaks with journalist James Walsh about his recent article, "Everyone is Cheating Their Way Through College." The two discuss how students are using AI to finish their assignments, how colleges are (and aren’t) responding to these challenges, and whether you can learn to think when something else does the thinking for you.

- The US volunteer fire and ambulance shortage, explained.
Thanks to our sponsor, T-Mobile: http://t-mobile.com/FirstResponders
In US small towns, emergency fire and ambulance first responder agencies are still mostly staffed by volunteers – a practice put in place in the 1970s and 1980s. But these volunteers are increasingly older, with fewer young people signing up than previous decades. Higher cost of living and a diminishing rural population has made volunteering less appealing than it used to be. We interviewed experts in the field of emergency response to figure out how to get those volunteers back, and the answer may be a simple one: pay them for their time.

- Why so many rural hospitals keep closing.
Thanks to our sponsor, T-Mobile: http://t-mobile.com/FirstResponders
Over the past 20 years, nearly 200 rural hospitals have closed, and experts warn that another 700 are at risk of closure in the near future. To put that in context, Texas alone has seen 25 hospital closures since 2005. If nothing is done, the state could lose over half the remaining small town hospitals. That means people are driving further for care, sometimes over an hour, or waiting longer to get help. These delays could lead to worse health outcomes.
Nationwide, an estimated 20% of the US population lives in rural areas. Other estimates found that 80% of counties across the US lack adequate access to health care. Unlike their urban counterparts, small town hospitals are often the entire health care system for the community, meaning they provide a wide range of services from lab tests and screening to basic primary care.

For decades, the American right has stayed on brand: the economy. Low taxes. Free markets. Deregulation. Those have been the buzzwords for more than half a century. But that doctrine is now being challenged by other conservatives who envision a future in which America’s trade deficit is lower, manufacturing returns to the US, and Americans buy more American-made products.
Is this future even possible?
Economist Oren Cass thinks it is. In today’s episode, the founder of the think tank America Compass speaks to Sean about right-wing economic populism. The two discuss a conservative, pro-worker approach to economic policy, Cass’s plan to bring manufacturing back to the US, and what types of behavior economic policy should incentivize.

- And what can be done about it.
Thanks to our sponsor, T-Mobile: http://t-mobile.com/FirstResponders
Here's a pretty obvious statement: In the more rural, spread-out parts of the US, an ambulance will typically take a while to get to you. Makes sense. Driving a longer distance takes longer.
Here's the catch: other emergency services like police and fire don't actually have this same problem; it's relatively unique to ambulances. It turns out that emergency response time is about a little more than distance. Something is different about ambulances that is slowing them down in rural areas of the US.
That difference starts with the ways that ambulance services are funded in most of the US: Instead of being paid for by taxes like police and fire services are, ambulances are often paid for by a sort of a la carte model — the more people they take to the hospital, the more they get reimbursed. It's a model that works well for emergency ser...

Almost nothing stands the test of time. The writings of Machiavelli are a rare exception.
Why are we still talking about Machiavelli, nearly 500 years after his death? What is it about his political philosophy that feels so important, prescient, or maybe chilling today?
In this episode, Sean speaks with political philosopher and writer Erica Benner about Niccolo Machiavelli’s legacy. The two discuss The Prince, Machiavelli’s views on democracy, and what he might say about the Trump administration were he alive today.

- How to use your ambition for good | The Gray Area

- Guest host Sigal Samuel interviews historian Rutger Bregman, author of Moral Ambition.

We’re told from a young age to achieve. Get good grades. Get into a good school. Get a good job. Be ambitious about earning a high salary or a high-status position.
Some of us love this endless climb. But lots of us, at least once in our lives, find ourselves asking, "What’s the point of all this ambition?"
Historian and author Rutger Bregman doesn’t think there is a point to that kind of ambition. Instead, he wants us to be morally ambitious, to measure the value of our achievements based on how much good we do, by how much we improve the world.
In this episode, Bregman speaks with guest host Sigal Samuel about how to know if you’re morally ambitious, the value of surrounding yourself with like-minded people, and how to make moral ambition fashionable.

- How Oklahoma’s universal pre-K program became a model for its progressive peers.

Universal pre-K, an ambitious social program usually championed by progressives, has been in place in one of the most conservative US states since 1998. Oklahoma’s universal pre-k program was just the second in the country (behind Georgia) and has since become a model for how these programs can boost school readiness, economic well-being, and community health.
The story of how Oklahoma enacted this big early childhood education program involves a little bit of political mischief, and a lot of motivated educators who saw a need for high quality pre-kindergarten in the 90s, and made it happen.
We went to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to hear from the people who were there at the beginning of this beloved program, and the ones carrying it forward in pre-kindergarten classrooms in Oklahoma...

What do you do when you’re faced with evidence that challenges your ideology? Do you engage with that new information? Are you willing to change your mind about your most deeply held beliefs? Are you pre-disposed to be more rigid or more flexible in your thinking?
That’s what political psychologist and neuroscientist Leor Zmigrod studies. In her new book The Ideological Brain, she examines the connection between our biology, our psychology, and our political beliefs.
In today’s episode, Leor speaks with Sean about rigid vs flexible thinking, how our biology and ideology influence each other, and the conditions under which our ideology is more likely to become extreme.

- Sean Illing talks with Frances E. Lee, professor of politics and public affairs at Princeton and co-author of In Covid's Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us.
Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
There are lots of stories to tell about the Covid pandemic. Most of them, on some level, are about politics, about decisions that affected people’s lives in different — and very unequal — ways. Covid hasn’t disappeared, but the crisis has subsided. So do we have enough distance from it to reflect on what we got right, what we got wrong, and what we can do differently when the next crisis strikes?
Professor Frances E. Lee — co-author of In Covid's Wake: How Our Politics Failed Us — thinks we do. In this episode, she speaks with Sean about how our politics, our assumptions, and our biases affected decision-making and outcomes during the pandemic.

Seasonal allergies are miserable. As nature springs back to life millions of people are left coughing, sneezing, and itching so it’s no surprise that many of us are looking for a hard and fast cure. Local honey, in theory, makes a lot of sense, but unfortunately it doesn’t work.

- No, honey can’t cure your allergies
- Date posted

- Description
- Honey has a lot of soothing benefits, but it won’t stop your seasonal allergies. Here’s why.
Every spring, millions of people are left coughing, sneezing, and itching their way out of winter. It’s a sign that nature is blooming back to life, dumping a ton of pollen into the air — and, subsequently, our respiratory tracts. Seasonal allergies are undeniably miserable, so it’s unsurprising that people are looking for miracle cures. One popular idea is to try and microdose pollen with honey.
The theory goes like this: Pollen causes seasonal allergies. Bees collect nectar and pollen from flowering plants to produce honey. So…a small amount of pollen is found in honey, therefore if you eat local honey you can introduce small amounts of pollen to your immune system and help your body gradually build an immunity to it. Boom. Seasonal allergies cured. The only problem? It doesn’t actually work, but honey does have a ton of other benefits. Watch the video ...
