Über den Podcast
For people who want to understand everything. Every week, NLW takes something about right now that doesn’t seem to make sense and explains, in about an hour, how we got here. Why tech went from America’s most trusted industry to one of its least. Why every phone has a sportsbook on it. Why so many people you know are on GLP-1s. Why we’ve been scared of AI for as long as we’ve had computers. The answers run through economics, politics, culture and technology, and they’re almost always more interesting than the version you’ve been told.

In 2024, traders bet about $3.7 billion on a single prediction market about who would win the presidency, reviving a kind of wagering that had all but vanished from American life for most of a century. This is the story of how gambling went from a sin and a crime to something people do on their phones on everything from elections to the weather, without the public ever deciding it should.

In just over a year, opposition to local data centers went from an even split to 75 percent, and much of that anger was inherited. This is the story of how tech went from America's most trusted industry to a symbol of people's anxieties about wealth and power, and where we go from here.
