Episode 172 - So It's Come To This... (12/31/18)

This week we talk the latest messy bitch media gabfest about the Trump Administration contrasted against the opening of much of the US coastline to offshore drilling. Then we have a laugh about the new Philly DA Krasner firing a whole bunch of prosectors. Matt gives us the rundown in the big Intercept interview with James Risen, and takes a trip down memory lane to the Plamegate fiasco. We close with Felix's fever dream nightmare of Elon Musk's Rockabilly Martian colony and the "Raw Water" craze sweeping Silicon Valley.

Episode 174 - Ooohh Baby I Like It Raw (1/7/18)

If one were to approach New York Times-reading liberals circa 1990 and tell them about a crime-fighting policy that arbitrarily harassed black and Latino youths who had committed no crime and threw the book at low-level nonviolent offenses, they would be rightfully outraged at the idea. But, if one were to couch this exact policy in pseudoscience promoted by mercenary sociologists and glowingly written up in The Atlantic, these same liberals would not only accept it, they'd be its primary advocates. 

This is that story. This is the story of how the racist pseudoscience of Broken Windows and Stop-and-Frisk that started on the rightwing fringes  slowly seeped into the centrist and liberal media and how two new racist pseudosciences, predictive policing and high profile "gang raids", are – again, with the help of liberals - taking their place. 

We are joined this week by Josmar Trujillo.

Episode 27: How the Media Mainstreamed Racist Pseudoscience

Cinemaphile Cat Green joins us for a pretty actually decent preview of the 2018 Academy Awards. We start off by debating the merits of the Oscars, which both Lenny and Brian are pretty iffy on, but which Cat sees as an integral cultural touchstone (9m). We then embark on a journey of discovery (talk about all the nominated films) and learn important truths about ourselves (about film stars). Pretty much the best Oscars preview you’re going to find—sorry St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

But not before talking about this weekend's air strikes of Syria and the aptly named duo of Samantha Power and Anne Marie Slaughter.

Episode 202 - Sgt. Anne Marie Slaughter feat. Dan Finn & Eric Blanc (4/15/18)

"Healthcare marketplaces”, “private insurers competing for your business” “insurance subsidies” -- for years democrats bet big on framing the healthcare debate using technocratic, capitalist terms––they weren’t going to radically change the system of healthcare, simply accent the existing private insurance-based model making things “smarter”, “easier”, more “tech-driven”. 

As the ACA faces a decade of right-wing attacks and democrat activists increasingly look to Single Payer, efforts to radically shift the healthcare system require, before they can go anywhere, a radical shift in how we talk about healthcare. 

Today we ask: How can activists rewire the public’s brains when it comes to the topic of healthcare? How can the rhetorical tics of the past be retired and how can the conversation about healthcare shift from a technical achievement to a moral one? 

With guest Natalie Shure, a writer and researcher whose work focuses on history, health, and politics.

Episode 41:  The Moral Poverty of Capitalist Healthcare Framing
