"Oh Howard, You Idiot!”

Healthcare is the problem American politics cannot solve. It’s the subject of screaming matches at town halls, the cause of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, the justification for political assassination in cold blood. 

Mitt & Ted, a Healthcare story, the new season from The Big Dig, looks at how Mitt Romney and Ted Kennedy began their political journeys on opposite sides of the issue—and they ended once again on opposite sides—but for a brief period in the middle they worked together to pass a groundbreaking law: one that promised to finally transform the politics of American healthcare. So what brought this odd couple together, and what ultimately pulled Mitt and Ted apart?

Here's a preview of Mitt & Ted. Find Mitt & Ted from The Big Dig wherever you get podcasts.

Live from the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Malcolm interviews Adam Grant around his new book, Vibe: The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World. They cover the three kinds of relationships—pals, allies, and companions—explain why frenemies may be worse for your health than enemies, and look at why dating algorithms can’t find your soulmate. Malcolm offers a grand unified theory of Adam’s work: every book has been a nerd manifesto. Along the way, they talk about what kids learn from watching their parents work, and how nerds build community in their own ways.
