I Taught A Scorekeeping Class And Everybody Came
Several times a week, I sit myself down in front of a baseball game either in person or on television, I retrieve my book and my pen, and I keep score. I feel my brain relax, my mind soften, my attention fully focus on one thing in a world where that rarely happens. It is a ...

What evolution reveals about eating, dieting and fat

When you’re dieting to lose weight, human evolution is often working against you. We’ll talk about why with Daniel Lieberman, author of Fed Up and founder of Harvard’s Department of Evolutionary Biology.  He spoke with Terry Gross about diets he’s tested, and the often contradictory information about what’s healthy to eat and what’s not.

Also, book critic Maureen Corrigan reviews Etna, a novel that looks at war through the narration of a dog.

Listening to the latest AppStories podcast about how to grade Siri AI. I like the way John and Federico approach this. Siri AI can be both way better than old Siri and also not nearly as capable as frontier models. Who after using GPT-5.6 Luna for free is going to use Siri instead?
