Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee TitansTennessee Titans Arden Key is the KEY on Defense, L'Jarius Sneed's Return & Young Linebacker BattleThe Tennessee Titans had a good defense last season that lacked in significant areas like pass rush productivity.

That means Key will have to take a significant step forward if the Titans hope to improve in said significant area. L'Jarius Sneed is on track to be ready for training camp and he needs to bounce back in a major way for the Titans to return to competitive football. There is a battle...

Planet MoneyHow DeepSeek changed the market's mindOn Monday, the stock market went into a tizzy over a new AI model from Chinese company DeepSeek. It seemed to be just as powerful as many of its American competitors, but its makers claimed to have made it far more cheaply, using far less computing power than similar AI apps like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. In one day, hundreds of billions of dollars were wiped off the valuations of companies related to AI.This week, investors seemed suddenly to change their minds about what our AI future would look like and which companies will (or won't) profit...

Planet MoneyA Nobel prize for explaining why there's global inequalityWhy do some nations fail and others succeed?In the late 1990s and early 2000s, three economists formed a partnership that would revolutionize how economists think about global inequality. Their work centered on a powerful — and almost radically obvious — idea: that the economic fate of nations is determined by how societies organize themselves. In other words, the economists shined a spotlight on the power of institutions, the systems, rules, and structures that shape society.We spoke with two of the Nobel-winning economists about their research on why some countries are rich and others are poor, why it t...

Planet MoneyThe Subscription TrapOver the past two decades, there's been a sort of tectonic economic shift happening under our feet. More and more companies have switched from selling goods one by one to selling services, available as a subscription. These days everything from razor blades to meal kits to car washes have become subscriptions. But all that convenience has also come with a dark side – some companies have designed their offerings to be as easy as possible to sign up for and also as difficult as possible to cancel. Many consumers are now paying for way more subscriptions than they even know about.
