Takeouts: oil prices, NFL and antitrust, listeners on decades

The World

Business Takeout: Louise Story, finance reporter for The New York Times, looks at a sudden rise in the price of oil.

NFL Takeout: Sports writer Dave Zirin talks about the upcoming Supreme Court date for the NFL as they argue that they are a single corporate entity. The ruling could have wide ramifications for all four major U.S. sports leagues and anti-trust law.

Listener Responses: We get a dose of decade-pedantry (all of it correct, however) from you, our listeners.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
