  • The Sum of Our Data

    The Sum of Our Data
    Nov 23 2024

    Every click on your computer, every swipe on your smartphone, leaves a data trail. Information about who you are, what you do, who you love, the state of your mind and body… so much data about you, expanding day by day in the digital clouds. The question is—do you care? Would owning your data, or having more digital privacy, make life better? And what happens to all that data when you die?

    Original Air Date: November 22, 2024

    Interviews In This Hour:
    A former child test subject seeks the data that shaped her life — In an age of surveillance, do you still care about your privacy? — When you die, what will happen to your data?

    Guests:
    Susannah Breslin, Lowry Pressly, Carl Öhman

    Playing with Words
    Nov 9 2024

    Sometime in the last couple of years, America’s collective morning routine shifted. We used to start the day with coffee. Now it’s coffee and Wordle. Or Spelling Bee. Or both, plus the crossword. We’re living in a golden age of word games – which is fun, and one way to get just a tiny bit of relief when the world feels out of control.

    Original Air Date: November 09, 2024

    Interviews In This Hour:
    Getting into the puzzle mindset — Welcome to my crossworld

    Guests:
