  • Julio Torres On Surrealistic Comedy
    2025/03/12
    You'll know when you're watching a Julio Torres project. The comedian, filmmaker, and comedy writer's work is surreal, aesthetic, and delightfully absurd.

    His most recent works include "Problemista," a film about a young man looking for work in New York City. And it has something to say about the nightmarish aspects of the American visa system.

    "Fantasmas," a six-part HBO series, finds Torres in search of a lost golden oyster earing, navigating through otherworldly vignettes.

    His "Saturday Night Live" skits like "Papyrus" draw attention to absurdity in the smaller parts of life most of us overlook.

    We talk to Torres about his work and his artistic style.

  • Doctored Photographs And The Search For An Effective Alzheimer's Treatment
    2025/03/11
    About 55 million people in the world have dementia. That's according to the World Health Organization. It's also the seventh leading cause of death among the global population.

    The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer's disease. It makes up 60 to 70 percent of cases. But it's well behind other chronic illnesses on the journey to an effective treatment.

    The reason may be attributed to years of research based on doctored images. Investigative reporter Charles Piller uncovered that and much more about the world of Alzheimer's research in his new book, "Doctored."

    We talk to Piller about this Alzheimer's, faulty research, and the search for an effective cure.

  • ICYMI: Mark Carney Is Canada's Next Prime Minister
    2025/03/10
    Our neighbors to the north have a new leader. On Sunday, the Liberal Party of Canada held a leadership election to replace its outgoing party leader and prime minister, Justin Trudeau.

    Its members chose Mark Carney, a former bank governor who has never held elected office. The change in leadership comes in the wake of the United States launching a trade war against Canada.

    How will the country's next prime minister navigate such frosty relations? And how will Carney and his party fair in the general election that takes place next year?
