Taffy Brodesser-AknerGUEST
[gentle music]
Gilbert CruzHOST
I'm Gilbert Cruz, and this is The Book Review from The New York Times.
Gilbert CruzHOST
Two years ago, The New York Times published a list of the 100 best books of the 21st century, and that wasn't just us saying so.
Gilbert CruzHOST
We reached out to hundreds of novelists and nonfiction writers, poets and bookstore owners, literary luminaries of every stripe, and we asked them what they thought were the best books published since the year 2000.
Gilbert CruzHOST
We took all of those votes, we crunched the numbers, and we put together our list.
Gilbert CruzHOST
You could not think of a more terrible time to try to promote and sell a novel, and yet The Corrections was an instant success, perhaps because to many it represented the end of a pre-9/11 America.
Gilbert CruzHOST
When I realized this anniversary was on the way, I knew I had to bring in my friend and colleague Taffy Brodesser-Akner.
Gilbert CruzHOST
Taffy is a features writer at The New York Times Magazine.
Darren LundbergHOST
Are there any, like, what are some relaxation things that you two focus on either together or separately to kind of mellow out and let all the, you know, besides Rob talking, I'm back to Bluey about stuff, but like, are there any things that you two do that kind of relax you?
Kai YanizGUEST
I like to do New York Times games, like crosswords.
Kai YanizGUEST
I've been really into spelling bee.
Kai YanizGUEST
And so that's what helps me go to sleep, like relax, which is, I know it's...
Tracy MumfordHOST
Today on The Daily, a look at the contentious new question dividing courts and couples across the country.
Tracy MumfordHOST
If you break up, who gets custody of your embryos? You can listen to that in the New York Times app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Tracy MumfordHOST
I'm Tracy Mumford.
Tracy MumfordHOST
We'll be back tomorrow with the latest and the Friday news quiz.
Terry GrossHOST
At the same time, the league has been embroiled in controversy that has more to do with the culture wars than with the game.
Terry GrossHOST
Sabrina Merchant covers the WNBA for The New York Times sports journalism site, The Athletic.
Terry GrossHOST
She spoke with guest interviewer Sam Fragoso, host of the interview podcast Talk Easy.
Terry GrossHOST
Here's Sam.
19 MINS LATER
Sabrina MerchantGUEST
And so we're seeing transgender women outside of the league, uh, who are fans of the league.
Sabrina MerchantGUEST
We are seeing members of the LGBTQ community within the league who are being excessively policed because could they be trans? And again, it is all surfacing from something that does not actually present an issue to the league as is.
Terry GrossHOST
We're listening to the conversation our guest interviewer Sam Fragoso recorded with Sabrina Merchant, a staff writer for The New York Times sports journalism site The Athletic.
Terry GrossHOST
We'll hear more of their conversation after a short break.
YuviaHOST
I remember I was listening to the book review podcast.
YuviaHOST
It's New York Times book review podcast.
YuviaHOST
And they were talking about some of like the their favorite books of the past decade, maybe.
YuviaHOST
But they mentioned Yanezba and and just it's they're just funny how like Norway is consistently ranked one of the happiest countries in the world and you get stuff like this series coming out of there like they have some of the most twisted books out there you also have like the girl with the dragon tattoo series that came out of there so yeah some of like the most twisted books are coming from one of the happiest countries in the world so they're just putting that out and it's kind of funny But anyway, I do highly recommend both, especially if this is your genre.
Adam LiptakGUEST
I went to Yale undergrad and then was a copy boy at the New York Times between college and law school, and then went back to Yale for law school, was a summer clerk in the New York Times corporate legal department, then went off to practice First Amendment law at Floyd Abrams' firm, Cahill, Gordon & Ryndell for four years.
Adam LiptakGUEST
Then returned to the New York Times Company's corporate legal department as a lawyer for 10 years, so I practiced First Amendment law for 14 years.
Adam LiptakGUEST
Then was, to my horror and delight, invited to be the national legal reporter covering the law generally in New York.
Adam LiptakGUEST
And I didn't have the basic journalistic skills, so that was kind of terrifying for six months or so.
Neal FreymanHOST
Wordle, connections, the mini, spelling bee, doing New York Times puzzles has turned into a daily ritual for millions of people.
Toby HowellHOST
So how did that happen? And maybe more importantly, what makes a game a New York Times game? To find out, we spoke to Jonathan Knight, the head of games at the New York Times.
Toby HowellHOST
He spent his career obsessed with games, including stops at EA and Zynga, before taking over a portfolio that now includes some of the most recognizable brain busters on the Internet.
Neal FreymanHOST
We talked about the puzzle revolution, how the Times decides which games make the cut, and the story behind acquiring Wordle.
Neal FreymanHOST
Why seemingly all of a sudden is everyone so into puzzles?
Jonathan KnightGUEST
Well, yeah, it's a great question.
Jonathan KnightGUEST
I think, you know, we've obviously at the New York Times been in the puzzle business for a very long time.
Jonathan KnightGUEST
So it doesn't seem like all of a sudden to us when you kind of zoom out for the historical perspective.
CalebHOST
I listen to The Daily a lot.
CalebHOST
It's a New York Times podcast.
CalebHOST
But genuinely, I put this one in our list today because I think it's something that a lot of people would be interested in.
CalebHOST
I think probably a lot of people, maybe including you, heard about the Hugging Face rogue agent incident.
Casey NewtonHOST
It's, it's just... it's a, it's a place for you to rest your hands bef- for 30 seconds before you're like, "Do they have any paper towels in this place?"
Kevin RooseHOST
[laughs] [upbeat music] I'm Kevin Roose tech columnist at the New York Times.
Casey NewtonHOST
I'm Casey Newton from Platformer.
Casey NewtonHOST
And this is Hard Fork.
Casey NewtonHOST
Kevin and I are gonna dig into the reports a little bit up top, and then later Ajeya Cotra, one of the three independent researchers who went inside OpenAI will be here to answer our questions.
Casey NewtonHOST
Before that happens Kevin, let's do, let's do our AI disclosures.
Casey NewtonHOST
I work for the New York Times which is suing OpenAI Microsoft and Perplexity.
Casey NewtonHOST
And fiance works at Anthropic.
Mike FlorioHOST
And it just dragged on and on.
Mike FlorioHOST
It was early June where the executive editor of The Athletic told staff that was very concerned about this, especially the Times employees, because they can be a little snooty.
Mike FlorioHOST
And they thought The Athletic was being held to a lower standard than the rest of them are being held to.
Mike FlorioHOST
As of early June, it was a few weeks away.
11 MINS LATER
Michael HolleyHOST
The toe's in.
Michael HolleyHOST
You really are.
Michael HolleyHOST
So if the Times wants to be in this space, it requires either accepting the realities of the business now, 2026, or you have to look away a bit.
Michael HolleyHOST
And I don't know, if you wanna really get into it, if you really wanna do an investigation, I think they'd be, they might be aghast at what they find across the board, because that's just how you get information.
