Slate has built a commendable business model with outstanding journalism and superb podcasts. It's a model that Vox is attempting to replicate, and The New York Times had copied successfully from a print-based perspective.
Here are a few of Slate's most notable recent episodes.

Death, Sex & Money hosted by Anna Sale
NEW EPISODE: Paid to Care: When Class, Power, and Caregiving Collide
When Delores moved to New York City from Jamaica nearly thirty years ago she didn’t know anyone. But soon she found a community of other nannies and learned how to navigate job interviews and “fussy” parents who don’t like nannies to tell their children no.
"In this week’s episode on paid caretaking, we explore the class and power dynamics inherent in care work. Plus, we hear from Faye*, a woman living with debilitating multiple sclerosis, and her husband Murray*, about how hiring outside help for caregiving shifts became essential to supporting their marriage."
NEW EPISODE:TikTok Is Cooked, Trump Is Sentenced
While Donald J Trump was virtually fuming at his sentencing hearing in Judge Juan Merchan’s New York City courtroom on Friday morning, the nine justices of the US Supreme Court were taking their seats for oral arguments in the so-called TikTok ban case. Amicus has an analysis of all of it. First, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern discuss whether and how Trump’s sentence matters, and what it tells us about the Supreme Court under Trump 2.0.
Decoder Ring hosted by Willa Paskin -- Cracking cultural mysteries.
NEW EPISODE: I am Tupperware, I Contain Multitudes
The storage container is a stealthy star of the modern home. It’s something we use to organize more of our stuff than ever before, and also something other people use to organize their stuff for our viewing pleasure. Its role as a source of soothing, satisfying, potentially viral clicks is new, but storage container innovations are not – something we had occasion to remember when Tupperware, the company, recently filed for bankruptcy. Tupperware was the original container craze. In today’s episode we’re going to connect it to the contemporary one, because as it happens, for a long time now, we’ve been filling empty plastic boxes with far more than just leftovers.
What Next: TBD hosted by Lizzie O’Leary twice-weekly podcast about tech, power, and the future.
Why Tech Is Bending the Knee: How the FCC and its incoming head, Brenden Carr, could enact Trump’s top policy goal: punishing anyone who says mean stuff about Trump.
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta-Morphosis: Misinformation, disinformation, politics—Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg is not going to shield users from those anymore. What’s behind the abrupt change in direction?
How To! hosted by Carvell Wallace and Courtney E. Martin --Slate’s practical advice podcast.
NEW EPISODE: How To Switch Careers in Midlife
For three decades, Mike has worked in a field with an uncertain future: journalism. He loves the stability of his current job mentoring student reporters, but he can’t stop thinking about starting a new career—in his 50s—in astrophysics, architecture, or law. On this episode of How To!, co-host Courtney Martin enlists career coach and psychologist Dr. Dawn Graham to help Mike think through his midlife career crisis, especially his urge to go back to school.
