How To Solve a Mystery
Apr 1600:39:47Tap to summarizePodcast: How To! with Mike Pesca (LS 61 · TOP 0.1% what is this?)Episode: How To Solve a MysteryPub date: 2026-04-14Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationBrett has spent her career in foreign policy — shaping strategy, advising governments, moving pieces on a board whose outcomes she may never live to fully see. It's meaningful work. It just never feels finished. So she's started thinking about a different kind of problem: the kind with a beginning, a middle, and an answer. Oh, also, and these mysteries keep presenting themselves in her workplace, and Brett loves mysteries! On this episode of How To!, Mike brings on Christian, a private investigator to talk through the realities of being a PI. He walks Brett through the subtle art of "elicitation," the unglamorous realities of tailing cars and tracing skips, and why cracking a case in the real world is less about lurking in shadows and more about being the kind of person people want to talk to.

The Lance Armstrong DefencePub date: 2026-04-01Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn the early 2000s, a young man in New Jersey was writing thousands of fake university essays for paying students. Around the same time, financial analysts in New York were rating toxic debt as safe. And in Silicon Valley, a new business philosophy was taking hold: fake it till you make it.Jamie Bartlett asks how so many people, in so many different worlds, arrived at the same conclusion at the same time. The answer, he thinks, has a name - The Lance Armstrong Defence.

65: The indies fight back! Damon Krukowski on the value of sound
Apr 801:55:13Tap to summarizePodcast: No Tags (LS 41 · TOP 1.5% what is this?)Episode: 65: The indies fight back! Damon Krukowski on the value of soundPub date: 2026-04-01Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationWe all know what sound is, but are we any good at describing it?This week’s guest is a musician, writer and one of independent music’s wisest observers. Damon Krukowski has been playing in bands since the ‘80s, drumming for dreampop originals Galaxie 500 and, for the past 30 years, fronting Damon & Naomi with his partner Naomi Yang.He’s also written three books about sound and its strange, intangible properties (most recently Why Sound Matters) and he's a proud member of UMAW, a cool young labour union for music workers.It was a privilege to talk to Damon about the full spectrum of sound – from noise pollution and sodcasting to the merch table, from the ‘red herring’ of intellectual property to the hidden value of hanging out backstage.Unsurprisingly he had several excellent movies to recommend to us, including one for all you Coen Brothers fans out there.Before that, we debrief our recent nights out and the last ever weekend at Corsica Studios, which could still be going as far as we know. We also hear your Rockufiction feedback and offer a hot new entry to the canon: Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie.

Who’s afraid of realism? Three stories by Anton Chekhov
Apr 200:23:50Tap to summarizePodcast: Close Readings (LS 43 · TOP 1% what is this?)Episode: Who’s afraid of realism? Three stories by Anton ChekhovPub date: 2026-03-30Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization‘Instead of sheets – dirty tablecloths.’ The notebooks of Anton Chekhov are full of enigmatic observations such as this, the unexplained details that suggest a whole scene, short story or character. When asked by an actor how he should play the role of Trigorin in The Seagull, Chekhov simply answered: ‘he wears checked trousers’. As James Wood argues, this mastery of the telling detail is central to Chekhov’s radical realism. Unlike Flaubert and Ibsen, Chekhov sought to avoid imposing authorial meaning or irony, instead handing over perception to his characters. In this episode, James looks at three of Chekhov’s stories, ‘Gusev’ (1890), ‘The Bishop’ (1902) and ‘The Lady with the Little Dog’ (1899), and the ways in which each seeks to curb the judgment or expectations of the reader to foreground the experiences of his characters, even beyond death. Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from the episode.
