'Slow Burn' Is on The 100 Best Podcasts of All Time
History The original season of Slate's excellent Slow Burn , which began airing in 2017, somehow managed to render oft-retread stories from American history surprising, thanks to an unexpected cast of characters and added context that gets lost in the process of mythologizing. Kicking off with a series about Watergate, Slow Burn closely traced when, exactly, the public was pushed over the edge by Nixon's lies—it was later than you think. The unforgettable first episode of the first season, 'Martha,' tells the horrifying and revealing story of Martha Mitchell, wife of Nixon's attorney general, who was kidnapped and locked in a hotel room in an attempt to cover up the Watergate leak. Mitchell is rightfully the center of that narrative, and the podcast continues to find the very real people often forgotten in the sweeping history-book narratives. The second season covered the Clinton Impeachment—the podcast reminds you that the coverage of Monica Lewinsky is even more sexist than you remember. And more recent seasons have traced the road to the Iraq War, the 1992 L.A. Riots, and the Rise of Fox News, all of which offer lessons for our current political moment.

Pope Leo: Welcome the Lord who knocks at our door
In his Angelus message on Sunday in Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo invites us to welcome the Lord who knocks at our door asking permission to enter. He underscores the importance of listening to and welcoming others, while also allowing ourselves to welcomed. Jul 21, 2025 VATICAN: Recalling the Old and New Testament readings of today's liturgy on the theme of hospitality as shown by Abraham and his wife Sarah, and then later by the friends of Jesus, Martha and Mary, the Pope reflected on the interplay of giving and receiving hospitality. Humility in offering and receiving hospitality Kindness, attentiveness and openness are part of what hospitality is about, but so too and especially is humility, the Pope noted. He recalled how the Gospel reading recounts how Martha is overwhelmed with serving, being the good and generous person she was, but she risked missing out on the joy of the encounter being with the Lord and hearing his words. Openness to something greater than ourselves Attentiveness has importance, as "our lives can only flourish if we learn to be open to something greater than ourselves" that brings "happiness and fulfillment", the Pope explained. And Mary, Martha's sister, recognized the importance of that encounter in not only welcoming, but listening to the Lord. Slowing down and listening In conclusion, the Pope encouraged us to follow Mary's example by slowing down and listening so that we do not "fail to choose the better part." And we can always improve on our learning the art of hospitality, he suggested, and this "includes both welcoming others and allowing ourselves to be welcomed", since "we have much to receive, not only to give." It's about recognizing how every genuine encounter is freely offered, "whether it is an encounter with God, with others or with nature." 'Let us pray to Mary Most Holy, our Mother, who welcomed our Lord, bore him in her womb, and together with Joseph gave him a home. In her, we see the beauty of our own vocation, the vocation of the Church, to be a home open to all and in this way to welcome her Lord, who knocks at our door and asks our permission to enter.'--Vatican News
