    Podcast Summary

    • New Hampshire Primary: A Turning Point in the U.S. Presidential RaceThe New Hampshire primary on January 23, 2023, holds importance for both Republicans and Democrats, with potential impacts on their respective nominations and campaigns.

      New Hampshire's primary election on January 23, 2023, holds significant importance in the U.S. presidential race. For the Republicans, a decisive win for Donald Trump could solidify his nomination, while an upset could shake up the race. For the Democrats, despite the absence of President Biden on the ballot due to DNC rules, the results may impact the future of his challengers' campaigns but not the nomination itself. Elsewhere, a deadly attack in Southern Gaza resulted in the loss of 21 Israeli soldiers, and the Supreme Court allowed the removal of razor wire along the Texas-Mexico border. These events underscore the significance of choices and democracy in America, as citizens exercise their right to vote and shape the political landscape.

    • Controversial border barrier removed due to injuries, legal disputesFederal officials remove a border barrier causing injuries to migrants amidst ongoing legal disputes between the Biden administration and Texas Governor Greg Abbott. In Georgia, a divorce battle could impact Trump's election case, while San Diego experiences its wettest January day on record, and vision problems may signal early Alzheimer's.

      Federal officials have decided to remove a controversial barrier at the U.S.-Mexico border due to repeated injuries to migrants, amidst ongoing legal disputes between Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Biden administration. Meanwhile, in Georgia, the future of Trump's election case could be influenced by a bitter divorce battle involving allegations of misconduct against the lead prosecutor and the district attorney. Elsewhere, San Diego experienced its wettest January day on record, with over 3 inches of rainfall causing flooding but also helping to alleviate precipitation deficits. Lastly, vision problems could be an early warning sign for a specific type of Alzheimer's called posterior cortical atrophy.

    • Less common form of Alzheimer's diagnosed earlier, affects vision firstA less common form of Alzheimer's, affecting vision and diagnosed earlier, might impact 700,000 Americans with delayed diagnoses. Scientists are also re-examining the Megalodon, a prehistoric super shark, and may have found it could have been even longer than previously thought, potentially over 50 feet.

      A less common form of Alzheimer's disease, which initially affects vision instead of memory, is diagnosed on average five to six years earlier than the more common form. Around 700,000 Americans might have this condition, but its unusual early symptoms often lead to delayed diagnoses. Meanwhile, scientists continue to explore the mystery of the Megalodon, a prehistoric super shark, with a new study suggesting it could have been even longer than previously estimated, potentially measuring over 50 feet. This discovery could impact our understanding of the Megalodon's behavior and role in ancient ocean ecosystems. Stay informed by listening to our afternoon news podcast, Post Reports, for exclusive reporting from The Washington Post. This week, they're covering Nikki Haley's moment in the Republican presidential primary.

    You can catch up on today's seven most important and interesting stories by checking out The 7 newsletter on this Juneteenth holiday. We'll be back with our regular show on Thursday. In the meantime, we're bringing you an idea for a summer road trip listen. "The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop" from The Washington Post just won a Peabody award and is a compelling investigation seven-part series into how the U.S. fits into a 40-year-old Caribbean mystery.


    Grenada’s Black revolutionary leader, Maurice Bishop, was executed in a coup in 1983, along with seven others. The whereabouts of their remains are unknown. “The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop” delves into the revolutionary history of Grenada, why the missing remains still matter and the role the U.S. government played in shaping the fate of the island nation.

    How to Master Your Memory | 5x Memory Champion Nelson Dellis

    The Grandmaster of Memory, Nelson Dellis, details why memory is an important skill to hone in on, and how to do just that.


    More on Nelson:

    This week’s conversation is with Nelson Dellis, a competitive memory athlete who is widely recognized as one of the world's leading experts in the fields of memory and mental fitness.

    Nelson is a 5X USA Memory Champion, a Grand Master of Memory, and holds several world records for memorization – including memorizing the most decks of cards in 30 minutes (9.02 decks), the most digits in 30 minutes (907 digits), and the most names in 15 minutes (235 names). 

    Nelson is also an accomplished mountaineer – having summited Everest in addition to many of the world’s largest peaks – and is the founder of Climb For Memory, a non profit raising awareness for Alzheimer’s research by organizing mountain climbs around the world.

    As many of us are focused on the habits and changes we want to implement heading into the new year, I was really excited to learn more from Nelson about how memory, well-being, and performance are related – and specifically, what we can all do to enhance our mental fitness.
