1:05:09

From fancy tuxedos, to beautiful assistants, vanishing coins and teleporting cards - I’ve always been mesmerized by magic. But beyond the illusions, one of the things that I find most mysterious about the world of magic, is how polarized it seems. On one side of the spectrum you’ve got magicians working birthday parties, who are often just a few ye…

The phone rings. You pick it up and on the other line you hear a voice that says: “We have your wife and child. You have 24 hours to get us 5 million dollars or else they die.” What do you do? I can’t imagine what getting a call like that would feel like, let alone what to do. But for Chris Voss (@VossNegotiation), this would have been just another…

Happy Halloween everyone! I thought we could start the show today in Planet Money style with two numbers, 4.4 and zero. I’ll give you a second to guess their significance. Alright, ready? If you said that 4.4 is the average number of pounds that we Americans produce as waste on a daily basis, you’d be correct. Kinda scary isn’t it? As for zero, tha…

I hate it when I break things because I only have three options: 1) I can try to repair it myself, which isn’t really an option 2) I can pay for a professional to fix it, which usually costs more than the product itself or 3) I can ditch the old one and buy a new one. And this is the cycle that Peter Skinner is trying to fix. In 2012, Peter founded…

Love it or hate it, house music has become one of the most popular genres of our time. But it wasn’t always like that. This music was once deeply underground. Even the name, house music, is a nod to the illegal warehouse parties it was once played at. So how did we go from there to the festivals and multi-billion dollar industry that we see today? …
