A pal gives podcaster Poppy Parnell another puzzling murder to parse in the trailer for Apple TV+‘s Truth Be Told Season 2, which will release episodes weekly starting Friday, Aug. 20.

Created by Nichelle Tramble Spellman, the anthology drama provides a glimpse into America’s obsession with true crime podcasts. In Season 2, investigative reporter turned podcaster Poppy (played by Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer) dives into a new case that deeply involves her childhood friend, media mogul Micah Keith (Academy Award nominee Kate Hudson, in what is touted as her first lead role in a TV series). “As developments unfold, their lifelong friendship is put to the ultimate test,” says the synopsis.

  • Confounding US economic, inflation data muddy Fed's rate path

    The Federal Reserve's latest financial stability report was good news for anyone worried that a record run of interest rate hikes might overstress the banking system or trigger a recession with companies and households pushed into default through a broad credit crackdown. Instead, the Fed is wrestling with an economy that has sloughed off tight monetary policy to such a degree that U.S. central bank officials are without a clear view of what to expect and divided over issues like productivity, the economy's underlying potential, and even whether the current policy interest rate is as restrictive as imagined when they called off further hikes. A recently updated Fed index of overall financial conditions showed there was virtually no impact on economic growth right now from the central bank's monetary policy or the broader credit conditions it is intended to influence.

    UPS and FedEx are facing uncertainty in U.S. supplies of big, boxy electric step vans they need to replace their gas guzzlers and make a dent in the country's climate-warming tailpipe emissions. The path to electrification by the package delivery giants is critical to U.S. President Joe Biden's transportation climate goals. Achieving that aim, however, is hampered by battery shortages that are limiting EV supplies and keeping prices high, and by startup electric van makers that are running out of money and shutting down.

    All right, who’s for mixed doubles? Cinema has brought us love triangles in the world of professional tennis before – perhaps most memorably in George Cukor’s Pat and Mike and Woody Allen’s Match Point. But the sheer racquet-twanging steaminess of Luca Guadagnino’s new entry in the canon makes its forerunners look like games of back-garden swingball. Challengers must be the most purely pleasurable film of the year so far. Like a great tennis match, it’s a clash of sleekly honed bodies and minds,
