Meanwhile\, Abby Paj avoids the doctor\, stays in bed\, and writes “make a go-bag” on every to-do list for a year and a half. Join Abby as they dive into apocalypses\, preparation\, depression\, and maybe doing a bunch of push-ups with a backpack on. Watch as they try to stay alive in any – no\, every way possible.

SUMMARY:Nate Silver and Richard Thaler in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Nate Silver\, founder of the popular data-driven news and analysis website FiveThirtyEight\, and Nobel Prize-winning economist Richard H. Thaler come together for a wide-ranging conversation. In his most recent publication\, On the Edge\, Silver explores how we live in a new age of decision making — from poker players and hedge fund managers to crypto speculators and AI investors\, professional risk takers determine the future of global finance\, technology\, and power. Originally published in 1992\, Thaler’s The Winner’s Curse introduced readers to behavioral economics by presenting a series of Anomalies\, empirical findings that challenged the traditional economics assumption that people are selfish rational optimizers. Now\, three decades later\, Thaler teams with UChicago colleague Alex Imas for a republication of the seminal book to see whether the original challenges have held up\, and to explore how the field has evolved. Together\, Thaler and Silver explore the nature of decision making in today’s economy and in our new era of risk.

SUMMARY:Christian Davenport on the Rocket Dreams of Musk and Bezos
DESCRIPTION:Moon landings and space walks once captivated the public’s attention. But\, in recent decades\, the U.S. space enterprise has waned. Now\, that’s finally about to change. The award-winning Washington Post writer Christian Davenport chronicles the mad scramble to shape humanity’s off-planet future. He takes us behind the scenes at NASA and the Pentagon as China’s aggressive moon mining plans raise alarms\, onto the sprawling Cape Canaveral factory where Blue Origin is working toward Amazon-style lunar deliveries\, and onto SpaceX launch pads as Musk’s engineers log 100-hour weeks. Davenport offers a riveting\, fly-on-the-wall account of the grit-fueled global battle to push humankind further into the cosmos — revealing that the science fiction dreams of the last century may soon become our reality.

SUMMARY:Big White Fog at Court Theatre

First completed in 1938\, funded by the Federal Theatre Project\, and influenced by the South Side Writers Group that cultivated such iconic talents as Richard Wright and Margaret Walker\, Big White Fog drove American realism forward by contending with discontent. \nThe United States is on the cusp of the Great Depression and\, like many\, the Mason family is struggling.

As different generations strive to secure the Mason family’s future\, catastrophic decisions are made\, leading to a heartbreaking twist and a blistering condemnation of America’s Big White Fog. \nResident Artist and the nation’s preeminent director of August Wilson Ron OJ Parson (East Texas Hot Links) opens the 2025/26 season with this rich portrayal of Black life on Chicago’s South Side. \nPerformance:\nTouch Tour: Saturday\, October 4 at 12:30pm\nAudio Description and ASL Interpretation: Saturday\, October 4 at 2:00pm \nAccessibility: Touch tour\, ASL interpreted\, and audio description. \nhttps://www.courttheatre.org/season-tickets/2025-2026-season/big-white-fog/

SUMMARY:Princeton University President on Academic Free Speech
DESCRIPTION:Princeton University President and legal scholar Christopher L. Eisgruber joins us in conversation to challenge the common assumptions about free speech on college campuses. He argues that most American colleges are largely getting free speech right\, with students engaging in active and open debate on difficult and controversial topics. But the real crisis lies in how the condition of university life reflects the polarization of American society and the loss of constructive dialogue across different swathes of the population. In his new book Terms of Respect\, Eisgruber draws on his experience as both a constitutional law expert and university leader to offer insight into headline-making campus controversies\, and reveals the inside story behind events that have captured national attention. He argues that colleges can help restore civil discourse by understanding that free speech is inherently tied to respect\, diversity\, and democratic engagement. You won’t want to miss this timely conversation on the national conversation about the future of civil debate.
