Party for Two | The End of Reading? | Nuclear Helium | How Much Do You Read?
Description
It’s Party for Two, and Mark is joined by John Tory Jr, Chief Commercial Officer of Great North Airlines, to break down the top stories of the day.
Next, Mark speaks with Rose Horowitch, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of the August cover story “The End of Reading Is Here.” They discuss what’s changing in reading habits, whether people are actually reading less, and what this means for culture.
Canada’s new nuclear plants should capture and store rare helium isotopes needed for quantum computing, according to experts. He speaks with Chris Cassin, CEO and co‑founder of Zero Point Cryogenics, about why this matters.
The show wraps with calls on reading habits: How many books did you read in the last year? Listeners weigh in on whether reading is declining.
