    How did American police get so violent? The answer to that question goes back centuries, to the earliest days of this nation. On this special podcast miniseries hosts Robert Evans and rap artist Propaganda (Jason Petty) draw a straight line from the darkest days of slavery, to the murder of George Floyd and the mass violence American police meted out to their citizens this summer.

    To Catch a Thief: China’s Rise to Cyber Supremacy

    To Catch a Thief: China’s Rise to Cyber Supremacy

    by

    Since Mar 4, 2025 15:36 UTC

    American companies, whole towns, have been eviscerated by Chinese cyberattacks. But their stories remain untold, even as the stakes get higher and the targets more reckless. To Catch a Thief is a first-of-its-kind, documentary look at China’s rise to cyber supremacy. This podcast charts the evolution of China’s state-sponsored hackers, from their beginnings as “the most polite, mediocre hackers in cyberspace” to the “apex predator” that now haunts America’s critical infrastructure. Host Nicole Perlroth, bestselling author and former lead cybersecurity and digital espionage reporter for The New York Times, interviews those who were victimized, and instrumental in tracking, Chinese cyberattacks as the threat morphed from trade secret theft, to blanket surveillance, to pre-positioning in America’s critical infrastructure. For what purpose? To Catch a Thief interrogates the motives behind it all. This audio documentary is produced by Rubrik, the leading data security company that delivers cyber resilience for businesses around the world.

    A Vote Of Her Own Podcast

    by

    Since May 25, 2021 21:34 UTC

    The right to vote is a basic tenet of democracy. Women were denied that right in this country until 1920, and it took an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to secure universal enfranchisement. The story of the last campaign to pass that amendment is full of political intrigue, passion for democracy, and courage. And what better way to tell that story than a good old fashioned American musical? This podcast series in both audio and video form, features historical background, interview and musical performance. The music is great, the performance fabulous, the interviews intriguing and informative. Give a listen and see what you think. We would love to hear from you. AEWorks is a not for profit 501 c 3.
