On this episode of the Sphere Podcast, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Publisher of Sphere Media, interviews Sebastien Laye, a Franco-American economist and AI entrepreneur, columnist for the Washington Examiner on AI policy and founder of the Economic Singularity Institute.

Ep 26 - Sebastien Laye - The Trump Administration's Super-Ambitious AI Agenda

On this episode of the Sphere Podcast, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Publisher of Sphere Media, interviews Clare Morell, a Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of "The Tech Exit: A Practical Guide to Freeing Kids and Teens from Smartphones." They talk about the evidence for why smartphones are bad for kids, why things like parental controls and screen time limits aren't enough and you need to just rid your kids of screens (Pascal is skeptical, but Clare makes a convincing argument), how you can start with a 30-day digital detox, what substitutes you can find for your kids, and finally they do discuss some public policy options for protecting our kids from interactive screens.

Ep 25 - Clare Morell - "The Tech Exit: A Practical Guide to Freeing Kids and Teens from Smartphones"

On this episode of the Sphere Podcast, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Publisher of Sphere Media, interviews Harry Moser, President of the Reshoring Initiative. Harry holds a BS and MS in mechanical engineering from MIT, and an MBA from the University of Chicago. After rising to CEO of a large American machine tool manufacturer, Harry had a front row seat to the destruction of American manufacturing. Rather than sip pina coladas on a beach, he founded the Reshoring Initiative to help American companies reshore jobs in America. Pascal and Harry talk about the Reshoring Initiative's latest survey of American manufacturers, tariffs, energy, regulation, workforce training, and more.

Ep 22 - James Orr - What's Happening In The UK? 

On this episode of the Sphere Podcast, Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, Publisher of Sphere Media, has a wide-ranging conversation with Nick Denton. Most famous (or infamous, depending on who you ask) as the founder of Gawker Media, Denton remains an active investor and entrepreneur with keen insights on current affairs, economics, and geopolitics. Gobry and Denton talk about the history of Gawker, Denton's front-row seat as American discourse grew crazier and crazier, leading to the Great Awokening and to the rise of Trump, why he thinks the current Administration is experiencing the same kind of madness that took over the Gawker newsroom, and why he believes the American Empire is dead. It's a wide-ranging, fascinating conversation.
