The World Convenes: September at the United Nations and Beyond, The UN General Assembly

The September current events episode we are doing a world tour — because September is, without exaggeration, one of the most consequential months in the international diplomatic calendar every single year. Every September, the leaders of 193 countries descend on Midtown Manhattan for the United Nations General Assembly. Every September, New York becomes the most diplomatically concentrated place on earth — bilateral meetings in hotel suites, speeches from the green marble podium, press stakeouts on First Avenue, and the kind of hallway conversations that actually shape global policy. This September, the stakes are unusually high. Gwen lays out the key storylines in this episode.

New Phone, New CEO, New Era: Apple's Biggest September in a Decade

Apple is having what might be the most consequential September in its modern history. We're talking about a new iPhone. A new product category the company has been rumored to be developing for years. A new operating software. And for the first time since 2011 — a brand-new CEO. This is our September tech episode — and if you only pay attention to tech news once a year, this is the month to do it.

America's most aggressively polite political debate.

Welcome back to The Stacks, the podcast where we believe information is power, misinformation is annoying, and arguing about politics is best done without throwing chairs. I'm Gwen, your friendly Techy Librarian, and today I'm stepping away from my library desk and into the moderator's chair. We've got artificial intelligence regulations, tariffs and the economy, and college affordability to discuss. Joining me today are Kim, a 19-year-old college student from the Bay Area and Tyler, a Texas Republican. We debate the issues, but respectfully. No insults, no talking over each other, and no claiming that your political opponents are secretly plotting to destroy civilization.

Don't Be a Boomer, Drop the Juice cleanse! The Great Wellness Reset

Today we are talking about a genuine, measurable shift in how people are thinking about their bodies, their minds, and what it actually means to be healthy. Not the old Boomer way, but a different approach to wellness! Because something interesting has happened in 2026. After years of biohacking, optimization, and self-surveillance — calorie tracking apps, sleep scores, continuous glucose monitors, cold plunges, endless metrics — a significant backlash has arrived. And what's replacing the obsession with measurement is, in many ways, more interesting. Let's deep dive on this with your Friendly Techy Librarian, Gwen! So, Boomer, drop that Juice Cleanse and let's dig in!

Two Straits, Two Crises: Hormuz Now, Taiwan Next? The Elmer Fudd of Economics

The second story is one that's been quietly building in the background — That story is the Taiwan Strait, that foreign policy analysts are increasingly saying we should take far more seriously. Because recession now with Hormuz, but Elmer Fudd of Economics with the Taiwan Strait.
