PODCAST
CORRUPTION
The Golden Age of Crime
How has cryptocurrency accelerated organized crime around the world? Is it possible to track corruption on the dark web? And what institutions are enabling global criminals? Hear from Drew Sullivan and Paul Radu, co-founders of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, a global network of journalists who put their lives at risk to follow trails of laundered money, find guilty parties, and uncover corruption that threatens democracy. They’re in conversation with Bill Browder, bestselling author of Red Notice and a foreign investor who has been fighting to expose corruption in Russia for almost two decades. Mary Louise Kelly, the co-host of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” moderates the discussion as they talk about methods for tracking corruption, the magnitude of the problem, and the future of organized crime.

PETSThe Mysterious Mind of the Dog
Happy National Dog Day! Did you know that dogs love to gaze into the eyes of their owners because they get an oxytocin rush? It works both ways — we humans get that rush, too, and it’s the same hormone that’s produced to encourage bonding with a newborn. Watch Alexandra Horowitz, dog cognition scientist and professor at Barnard College of Columbia University, and Brian
Hare, associate professor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke University, as they discuss early domestication, whether dogs dream or feel guilt, and the growing field of canine cognition.
