I have a question on a related matter. By playing the Golden Globes Game for the Up First podcast, did NPR realize any audience gains or justify an increase in underwriting rates?

Regarding CNBC Cures, while some will argue capitalism could help efficiently find treatments and cures for rare diseases, why isn't that happening more right now? Will rare disease work yield quick profits? Such work probably will have broader and lucrative long term benefits, but no quick bucks.

In the early 1900s, female strongwomen and bodybuilders challenged societal norms by showcasing their strength and muscular physiques in circuses.⁠⁠This was a direct contrast to the popular notion that women should be delicate and frail, and that exercise would detract from their domestic duties.⁠⁠It took a long time for society to accept and celebrate female strength, but these pioneers paved the way for future generations.View all 1,014 comments
