Spirit Airlines and the future of cheap flights
It’s way more than fuel costs that pushed Spirit Airlines to the brink of liquidation and led President Trump to muse about “buying” them. Many low cost airlines are struggling due to a canny and calculated set of strategies from bigger airlines that we can think of as ‘revenge of the legacy carriers.’ Today on the show, we go back in time to when Spirit was riding high and pressuring the whole industry to cut costs. We talk with then-CEO Ben Baldanza about his radical vision for cheap air travel and then travel to the present day to hear how legacy airlines beat Spirit and other budget airlines at their own game. Plus, what happens to us passengers if Spirit does go away.

Battlefield rare earths: How the U.S. lost to China
At one point in history, one U.S. company monopolized the rare earths industry. Then China took over the industry. Can the U.S. bring it back?Rare earths are critical to making, like, everything. From smart phones to electric vehicles to microwaves. They’ve also become a powerful political weapon for China, which controls the majority of mining and processing of rare earths. Today, we have the story of the rise and fall of America’s rare earth industry told through that single company. It’s a corporate saga made for prestige television about the elements that literally, once, made prestige televisions. Live event info and tickets here.

Do prediction market bettors make anything better?
Have you noticed a lot of young people getting into antenna-maxxing as alpha? Or, maybe searching for any bit of copium after they fat-fingered and got rinsed? Or maybe they farmed during a yes-fest on Mention Markets resulting in some serious printing? If none of that made sense to you, then we have the perfect episode for you. Prediction markets have taken off in the past few years, using the same legal loopholes as the crypto market to essentially claim they are a “swap,” or “futures market,” similar to that of the totally legal grain and pork belly markets, and less like the state-regulated sports gambling market. And they are great for the bondsharps who print on the regular (or, in English, “well known market makers who often make a lot of money”). These prediction market companies exist because they’ve convinced regulators that they’re also great for the rest of us. They're adding new knowledge to the world. Making us more informed about the future. On today’s episode, the case Kalshi has been making to regulators, the courts and the public as to why what looks like gambling and seems like gambling … is not. Why that argument’s kinda been working. And – if no one stops them – what prediction markets could do to our future.For more, listen to former CFTC Commissioner Kristin Johnson on The Indicator from Planet Money.Live show tour and book info. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode of Planet Money was hosted by Bobby Allyn and Mary Childs.

How to get through the Strait of Hormuz
The United States has been at war with Iran since February 28th. And for a month and a half, Iran’s main leverage over the U.S. has been their control over the Strait of Hormuz — a key global shipping route. Iran has attacked ships that try to pass without approval. And recently they’ve insinuated that one part of the Strait — the part near Oman — is not safe. Which means that captains had to go right by Iran’s shores to get through the Strait … effectively creating a chokepoint for the global economy. On today’s show, a source inside Iran tells us how ships had been getting through the strait, and how the tollbooth Iran set up works. And we ask: What does this all mean for the global economy?

Vaping: Does It Really Cause Cancer?
Headlines have been screaming about a new study suggesting that vaping could cause cancer — and that vaping could be just as dangerous as cigarettes. And if this were true, it would be a HUGE deal. We’ve been hearing for years that vaping is a safer option — and can help you quit ciggies. But the new paper has run up against angry criticisms from other scientists, with some calling the paper "misleading" and "problematic." So what’s going on?? Do scientists still think vaping is safer than cigarettes? How well do vapes actually help people quit smoking? And could Big Tobacco be behind the scenes, clouding the truth about all of this?? We get help sorting it out from Professor Bernard Stewart, Professor Lion Shahab and Professor Becky Freeman.

Running: Will It Wreck Your Body?
Lots of us love — or love to hate — running. And we do it because it’s supposed to be healthy, right?! But then we hear tons of stories about runners getting hurt — sometimes so badly that they have to hang up their sneakers. And there are people on social media going even further, claiming it’s one of the worst things we can do for our bodies. So IS running secretly bad for us? And could too much of it actually bring you closer to a heart attack? We’ll explore the science on all of that, and we’ll also dig into runner’s high: What is going on in the brain to cause this feeling? With help from Dr. Rasmus Østergaard Nielsen, Professor Duck-Chul Lee, and Dr. Michael Siebers, we look at the science to find out if running is the key to a healthy life or if there are peer-reviewed reasons to be a hater.

Artemis: Why Are We Really Going Back to the Moon?
The moon race is back! NASA’s Artemis II mission just sent four astronauts around the moon. And other countries — and billionaires — are lining up to take a crack at returning to the moon too. But why are we really going? Some say this is a lunar gold rush, that countries want to mine the moon for resources. Others are saying the real reason to go to the moon today is that it’ll help us get to Mars. To find out, we talk to engineer Dr. Angel Abbud-Madrid, physicist Prof. Nicolle Zellner, and astronomer Prof. Gregg Hallinan. [REBROADCAST]

Daniel Radcliffe, Mariska Hargitay and the Happiest List on Earth
With war, political wrangling and price hikes jockeying for headlines, it’s a rare thing to sit for an hour with a large group of strangers and focus on the small pleasures in life. But that’s what the show “Every Brilliant Thing” is all about.
Since 2013, Duncan Macmillan’s audience-participation-heavy play has been performed in dozens of languages in hundreds of locations across the globe. It revolves around a central character who writes a list of all the good things in life for a depressed parent. And while it tackles dark subject matter — including frequent mentions of a loved one’s suicide — it may be one of the funniest shows about depression, ever.
In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Michael Barbaro talks with Daniel Radcliffe, who currently stars in a Broadway production of the show, and Mariska Hargitay, who will step into the role in a few weeks. We’ll also hear from the playwright and several other actors who have performed the play on stages, in living rooms, on basketball courts and aircraft carriers all over the world.
On today's episode:

Revolutions
1. Nessuno vide nascere il fascismo: dai Fasci di combattimento alle elezioni del 1921
Il 23 marzo 1919, in una sala del primo piano di Palazzo Castani in piazza San Sepolcro, a Milano, si ritrovano poco più di 200 persone. Benito Mussolini, direttore del quotidiano Il popolo d'Italia, ha fondato un nuovo movimento: i Fasci di combattimento, che radunano soprattutto veterani della Prima guerra mondiale, rivoluzionari, anarchici di varia estrazione.
Nessuno fa caso a quel raduno, nessuno - neanche lo stesso Mussolini - avrebbe mai immaginato che da lì sarebbe nato il regime che per vent'anni avrebbe preso il comando dell'Italia. Ma chi era Benito Mussolini? Come nacque il fascismo e come iniziò a diffondersi? Qual era il rapporto tra Mussolini e D'Annunzio? Ne parliamo nella prima puntata della terza stagione di Rewind.
8. L’11 settembre e la guerra all’America di Bin Laden
La storia dell’attentato alle Torri Gemelle e della guerra all’America di Al-Qaida comincia molto prima dell’11 settembre 2001. L’organizzazione terroristica viene fondata nel 1988, dopo che il giovane Osama Bin Laden, rampollo saudita di buona famiglia, si convince che gli Stati Uniti siano i principali responsabili di tutti i mali che affliggono il mondo islamico. Sono moltissimi gli attentati organizzati in giro per il mondo in quegli anni, tutti con uno stesso obiettivo: i cittadini americani. La rete diventa sempre più ampia e grazie all’incontro con un uomo, nel 1996 in Afghanistan, viene costruito l’attentato più famoso della storia.

7. Il pugno di Nelson Mandela e l’Apartheid in Sudafrica
Nel 1990, Nelson Mandela esce dal carcere di Victor Verster a Città del Capo, dopo 27 anni di detenzione, e alza il pugno al cielo. È un momento iconico: dopo cinquant’anni di lotte, pacifiche e armate, e di sangue versato, in Sudafrica finisce l’era della segregazione razziale. L’Apartheid, contro cui Mandela e molti altri hanno lottato per gran parte della vita, appartiene finalmente al passato.

6. Il crollo del muro di Berlino e la fine dell’Unione Sovietica
Tra colpi di Stato, esplosioni nucleari, proteste e manovre politiche azzardate, il crollo dell’Unione Sovietica si è concretizzato in pochi anni, lasciando dietro di sé le macerie su cui è nata la Russia di oggi. Il crollo del muro di Berlino, il disastro nucleare di Chernobyl, la perestroika di Gorbaciov e il susseguirsi delle dichiarazioni di indipendenza sono solo alcuni dei momenti spartiacque che hanno segnato la fine della superpotenza che, insieme agli Stati Uniti, ha fatto la storia del novecento.

5. Golpe, sangue e desaparecidos: storia delle dittature sudamericane
Cile, Brasile, Bolivia, Uruguay, Perù, Paraguay, Ecuador, Argentina. Tra gli anni ‘60 e gli anni ‘70, la storia del Sudamerica è stata segnata da golpe militari e dittature sanguinose, appoggiate segretamente dalla CIA per arginare il successo delle forze di sinistra nella regione. In pochi anni sono morte decine di migliaia di persone, mentre altre sono semplicemente scomparse: sono i desaparecidos, vittime di un vero e proprio genocidio politico.

SN 1074: What Mythos Means - Marketing or Mayhem
We may already be living through the most consequential hundred days in cyber history, and the arrival of AI that can autonomously chain zero-day vulnerabilities into working exploits means the software industry's long-standing "ship it and patch it later" era is officially over.
