Week of January 23

  • Kai talks with Liquid Death CEO Mike Cessario at Liquid Death’s HQ.

Marketplace Tech

  • Jan 23: We’ll have a freelance feature that explores one idea that’s gaining traction in California: putting solar panels on top of exposed water canals. A study last year from UC Merced says it could save 63 billion gallons of water each year (enough to satisfy water needs of 2 million homes) and create 13 megawatts of solar energy (enough to get the state halfway to its 2030 renewable energy targets). Turlock Irrigation district is breaking ground early next year on the state’s first ever pilot project. Los Angeles just voted to essentially copy the idea for the LA Aqueduct. What’s the tech involved?
  • Jan 25: Meghan McCarty Carino speaks with Aniruddh Mohan, a distinguished postdoctoral fellow in the Adlinger Center for Energy and the Environment at Princeton University, to discuss the latest developments and scalability of carbon capture technology.

On Point

  • Jan 23: For the past two years, journalist Chris Whipple has had insider access to the deliberations and operations of the Biden Whitehouse. He chronicles what he saw and heard in his new book, The Fight of His Life. Whipple speaks with host Anthony Brooks, in for Meghna for a few days, about Bidens’s successes, failures, and the challenges ahead.
  • Jan 24: Anthony Brooks hosts.
  • Jan 25: Meghna speaks with the former mayor of Del Rio, Texas, Bruno Lozano. Not only was he the youngest mayor in the city’s history, he’s also its first openly gay one. On the national stage he’s known for calling out his own party, the Democrats, for their handling of the southern border.
  • Jan 26: According to the American Psychological Association, the rate of anxiety among adults in the U.S. quadrupled between 2019 and 2021. And it wasn’t just the pandemic driving that. On Point takes a closer look at anxiety in the U.S. and asks if some level of anxiety can also be good for us.
