My guest\\xa0today\\xa0is Robert Cottrell, the founder of\\xa0The Browser,\\xa0which has become my go-to source for articles. Here\\u2019s how it works. Every day, he recommends five articles and includes a short summary for each one. They\\u2019re wild and random \\u2014 but that\\u2019s what makes his work so exciting. For example,\\xa0today\\u2019s issue has an articles about how bees argue, the battle of ideas in China, how Americans should think about nuclear weapons, the circus arts, and the future of machine-created art. In this episode, we talk about why journalism is one of the most under-valued crafts in the world, what we should know about Latvia, and the cutting edge of language translation software. Please enjoy my conversation with Robert Cottrell.\\xa0
