The cover story, written by Rachel Cohen Booth, explores what happens when a society takes women's unpaid work seriously. The article delves into the lives of caregivers in Bogotá and the impact of these innovative hubs on their lives. "By centering caregivers themselves, not just the work they do, these hubs are recognizing the value of care work and providing a much-needed support system for these individuals," Booth said in an interview.
The issue also features articles on various topics, including the case for intentional podcast listening, a new generation of tools to fight malaria, and advice for giving better and doing good ahead of Giving Tuesday. The article "The end of malaria" by Bryan Walsh discusses the latest developments in the fight against malaria, while "How to break free of money dysmorphia and 3 other tips on generosity" by Sigal Samuel offers practical advice on generosity and giving.
In addition, the issue explores the impact of podcasts on our brains, with Adam Clark Estes writing about the effects of podcast listening on our cognitive abilities. Dylan Scott's article "People taking Ozempic are losing muscle mass and it's freaking them out" highlights the concerns surrounding the use of the medication Ozempic, while Kyndall Cunningham's piece "Why politics is ruining how we watch movies" examines the impact of politics on our viewing habits.
