| What the ATM might tell us about AI and jobs
The threat of automation is a perennial fear for workers. But new tech doesn't always mean being replaced. Alex Mayyasi, the main author of Planet Money's new book, gives Jeff Guo and Nick Fountain a prime example: the introduction of the bank ATM. This is just one of the topics we dig into in today's bonus episode, a condensed audio version of our recent live virtual supporter event.

| NPR Music+: "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails
It’s a song that contains one of the most notorious F-bombs ever committed to tape, but if you scrub underneath its grimy surface, you can find the influences of industrial music, transgressive art, and even Prince. You may also find the seeds that led to Trent Reznor’s perhaps surprising, multifaceted career today.

| How Rose Byrne creates those hilarious scenes with Seth Rogen
This week, we’re sharing some cutting room floor clips from actor Rose Byrne’s Fresh Air interview from May.

| Brand new call-ins with Ray!
Once again, against our better judgement we have opened up the phones to the Car Talk nation.
Brendan and Linda both got their cars back from the shop with new noises that they didn’t have before. Can Ray figure it out? Or can he at least fake it convincingly?
Listen with NPR+
Have a car question to ask Ray? Call and leave your message at 888 522 5478 (anyone can call!) and you may be one of a few lucky folks who get the chance to talk with him the next time he makes his way into the studio. |
