The Editors sponsors and ad reads

if you're considering the pros and cons of different cookware brands, you should know that Maiden has more of the pros. Pros like Tom Colicchio, Brooke Williamson, and many other professional chefs who all trust their cooking to Maiden cook, where a fact is Maiden has a long-standing relationship with professional chefs. The company evolved from a 100-year-old kitchen supply business and works with multi-generational craftsmen to make each piece. They make exactly what demanding chefs are looking for, including a wide selection of curated products from carbon steel, stainless clad, plus plateware, glassware, and more. But perhaps the biggest pro is that made in is sold online and delivered to your door. Sarah Schutte has been traveling quite a lot this summer and every time she's working in a new kitchen, which has happened quite a lot, she realizes just how much she misses her made in pans and knife. If you want to take your cooking to the next level, invest in made in cookware. Once you try it, you'll be pro made in too. For full details, visit madeincookware.com.

so with that, let's go to our second sponsor this episode. We spent a lot of time this year talking about tariffs, whether it's still actually possible to make things in America. Well, our sponsor today is putting that question to the test. VAER was founded in Los Angeles back in 2016 with a simple but very ambitious mission to revive the American watch industry. Cut to today, Vera is proud to be the largest independent watch assembler in the United States, building watches in California, Arizona, Rhode Island, and Alabama, as well as manufacturing leather straps in Illinois and Florida. All of us here at the editors have been wearing our Vera watches for a while now, and I can tell you firsthand that they are truly amazing. I am wearing mine as we speak. I get positive comments about it all the time. Listeners wondering if it's a Vera watch. Yes, of course it's a Vera watch but then random people also say hey that's a really handsome watch which it is when i'm not wearing it i feel as though something's missing now vera makes some of the most durable well-built watches on the market they use top grade luxury materials they all come with a waterproof warranty and they've earned over 10 000 five-star reviews what's more vera's classic analog approach to timekeeping is not only sophisticated or fine it's also a welcome departure for people who are tired of getting pinged on their smart watches all day if you want to support american craftsmanship and own a watch that's both rugged and refined, check out VAER. You can find it at VAERwatches.com. That's V-A-E-Rwatches.com.

With that, let's hear from our final sponsor this episode, the Competitive Enterprise Institute podcast, How the World Works, featuring our old friend, political commentator Kevin Williamson. Each episode, Kevin sits down with a notable guest to discuss the jobs they've had, why work matters, and the role of work in our social lives. After all, work involves a lot more than paychecks cashed, so listen to How the World Works wherever you listen to podcasts or visit ci.org slash podcast.
