Episode notes

There are more abortion storylines on TV today than say 25 years ago. That doesn't mean those storylines get it right. Nate Solon, a data scientist but also a chess master, explains back with Vulture's Culture Podcast.

The chess world is in chaos after its top player accused 19-year-old Hans Niemann of using AI to cheat. Niemann is responding with a $100 million lawsuit against his accuser and the chess website that says he likely cheated in scores of games.

This episode was produced by Amanda Lewellyn and Hady Mawajdeh, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro and Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Noel King.
