My favourite podcasts of the week.

The Daily - How Two Generals Led Sudan to the Brink of Civil War

New York Times has the best international coverage. I appreciated learning about General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.

The Reason Interview - Connor Boyack and Corey DeAngelis: Why K-12 Education Sucks and How To Fix It

School choice isn't a thing in the UK. I'm not sure home-schooling is, either.

The Psychology Podcast - What is Creativity? | The Human Potential Lab

Life is full of paradoxes and counter-intuitive facts - a reminder that our understanding and categorisations are useful human constructs, not reality.

Intelligence Squared - Hadley Freeman and Bari Weiss on Anorexia

Bari has a knack for interviewing and remaining curious. Hadley's experience didn't fully align with mine. I also see similarities in some forms of gender dysphoria to the manifestation of anorexia.

The Fifth Column - #404: The Fall of the House of Tucker and Traffic | Ben Smith

Bryan's interview makes me want better for Tucker. Ben's musings on viral content and Gawker were engaging.
