  • Boomers Are Wealth Hoarders, the AI Revolt, and California’s Cursed Governor’s Race with Brian Merchant and Andrea More
    May 15 2026

    (In addition to your regularly planned episode of Factually, we’re bringing you a Friday news roundup where we check in on the week’s biggest stories as well as some that need amplification.)

    This week, Adam is joined by journalist Brian Merchant and comedian Andrea More to talk about the mountain of wealth that boomers have hidden in a figurative mountain hoard, like some kind of greedy dragon that’s way too into Western shows on Paramount+. The group also talks about the growing cultural rejection of AI (whew!), and the already exhausting state of the California governor’s race.

  • The Edge of Space Time with Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
    May 6 2026

    When the world gets to be too much, contemplating the endless wonder and beauty of the cosmos can be a huge relief. After all, we’re insignificant in the grand scale of space and time. But cosmic thinking can also teach us so much about ourselves. This week, Adam sits with Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, professor of physics and faculty member in women’s and gender studies at the University of New Hampshire, to talk about the truths we uncover about ourselves when we search for the truths of the universe. Find Chanda’s new book, The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie, at factuallypod.com/books
