    A Terrorist Attack in Russia

    A Terrorist Attack in Russia

    Warning: this episode contains descriptions of violence.
    More than a hundred people died and scores more were wounded on Friday night in a terrorist attack on a concert hall near Moscow — the deadliest such attack in Russia in decades. Anton Troianovski, the Moscow bureau chief for The Times, discusses the uncomfortable question the assault raises for Russia’s president, Vladimir V.

    The Sunday Read: ‘My Goldendoodle Spent a Week at Some Luxury Dog ‘Hotels.’ I Tagged Along.’

    The Sunday Read: ‘My Goldendoodle Spent a Week at Some Luxury Dog ‘Hotels.’ I Tagged Along.’

    By the time Sam Apple pulled up with his goldendoodle, Steve, to their resting place, he was tired from the long drive and already second-guessing his plan. He felt a little better when they stepped inside the Dogwood Acres Pet Retreat. The lobby, with its elegant tiled entrance, might have passed for the lobby of any small countryside hotel, at least one that strongly favored dog-themed decor. But this illusion was broken when the receptionist reviewed their reservation — which, in addition to their luxury suite, included cuddle time, group play, a nature walk and a “belly rub tuck-in.”

    Venues like this one, on Kent Island in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay, didn’t exist when Apple was growing up in the 1980s. If you needed a place to board your dog back then, you went to a kennel, where your dog spent virtually the entire day in a small — and probably not very clean — cage. There were no tuck-ins, no bedtime stories, no dog-bone-shaped swimming pools. There was certainly nothing like today’s most upscale canine resorts, where the dogs sleep on queen-size beds and the spa offerings include mud baths and blueberry facials; one pet-hotel franchise on the West Coast will even pick up your dog in a Lamborghini. Apple knew Dogwood Acres wouldn’t be quite as luxurious as that, but the accommodations still sounded pretty nice. So he decided to check his dog in, and to tag along for the journey.

Mostly great

I love the daily I listen to it every day. But I do feel like they avoid important issue and are supporting Israel’s to much. I believe that children in Gaza should not be killed because of what happens on October 7th.

Voices

Sabrina Tavernese’s inflection and delivery is reminiscent of Katie Britt. Over dramatic and weird. Very annoying to listen to.

I miss Michael

I’m all for diversifying the host role, but respectfully I don’t think Sabrina is the right person for the job. When she interviews female colleagues, she takes on a giddy, silly tone which for me, undercuts the credentials of her very capable guests. She does not interview men in the same way. She also laughs at weird or inappropriate times and often cultivates the wrong tone for serious moments. I’m sure she’s an excellent journalist, but I don’t think she strikes the right tone on this show and does not do her female guests justice.

There are lots of amazing journalists and podcasts hosts who are women—this is not the gripe of some old white man complaining about vocal fry. This is a plea to bring the right tone and respect to a beloved podcast. I love when Astead hosts, there have been other hosts too who are great. Let’s make a change!
