The Rapid Downfall of Liz Truss

We're going to start today's show in just a minute.

But before we do that, I want to tell you about a new podcast from the Times.

They're going to have to listen to figure out exactly why it's called that.

It's really like eavesdropping on the smartest possible conversations about what's really

becoming the biggest force in our lives right now, which is technology.

A lot of it in ways we're just beginning to understand.

It's called A-Type Do, Artificial Intelligence, The Metaverse, Twitter, Elon.

It's co-hosted by somebody you already know, Kevin Rus, a daily regular and a daily guest

And his co-host is somebody else I really admire, the technology writer Casey Newton.

For me, Kevin Casey and their guests have demystified subject after subject.

I'm going to be honest, they make me laugh a lot.

The show again is Hard Fork and I encourage you to look for it as they say or ever you

get your podcasts, which wild guests might be exactly where you're listening to us.

After just 44 days in office, British Prime Minister Liz Truss has resigned, making hers the

shortest premiership in the country's history.

This is what the news should sound like. The biggest stories of our time, told by the best journalists in the world. Hosted by Michael Barbaro and Sabrina Tavernise. Twenty minutes a day, five days a week, ready by 6 a.m.
