In full: Vice Presidential debate: Mike Pence Vs Kamala Harris US Election 2020
After the bad-tempered brawl that was the first presidential debate, the vice-presidential debate was comparatively polite.
Mike Pence, the Vice President, and his Democratic challenger, Kamala Harris, went head-to-head for the only vice-presidential debate of the campaign in Utah on Wednesday.
Conducted in a return to traditional debating, the two spoke about everything from Covid-19, racism, taxes, China, and climate change.

In full: Donald Trump vs Joe Biden in first presidential debate | US Election 2020
Donald Trump and Joe Biden went head to head for the first time as they kick start a series of televised debates ahead of the November 3 election.
The 90-minute meeting took a different format to usual thanks to restrictions necessitated by the coronavirus pandemic. There were no standard handshake between the two presidential candidates, and moderator Fox News star Chris Wallace had a much smaller audience than usual to contend with.
With Mr Trump, 74, telling Mr Biden, 77, "there is nothing smart about you, Joe”, and Mr Biden branding the president "a bulldozer”, the debate produced several heated moments.

Radiolab - 8-5 - Fate and Fortune
October 14, 2010
This hour, we question what decides the trajectory of our lives -- individual force of will, or fate?
If destiny isn't written in the stars, could it be written in our genes? Kids struggle to resist marshmallows, and their ability to holdout at age 4 turns out to predict how successful they're likely to be the rest of their lives. And an unexpected find in a convent archive uncovers early warning signs for dementia in the writings of 18-year-olds.
Correction: An earlier version of this piece incorrectly stated that the kids who performed better on the marshmallow test had higher GPAs in high school and went to better colleges. Those elements were not a part of Mischel’s original study. The audio has been adjusted to reflect this fact.

Radiolab - 8-4 - Cities
October 7, 2010
In this hour of Radiolab, we take to the street to ask what makes cities tick.
There's no scientific metric for measuring a city's personality. But step out on the sidewalk, and you can see and feel it. Two physicists explain one tidy mathematical formula that they believe holds the key to what drives a city. Yet math can't explain most of the human-scale details that make urban life unique. So we head out in search of what the numbers miss, and meet a reluctant city dweller, a man who's walked 700 feet below Manhattan, and a once-thriving community that's slipping away.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this program indicated that the Dow Jones Industrial Average originated in the 1920’s. In fact, it originated in the 1890’s; during the 1920’s it was expanded to include 30 companies, the number it includes today. The audio has been adjusted in consideration of this fact.
In the first segment of this episode, we listed a German census as one of West and Bettencourt’s sources. This was incorrect, a German census did not appear in their data set, and the audio has been updated to reflect this correction. In the second segment, we used the term “watts” incorrectly. The audio has been updated to recognize this error.
