  • Insightful and fun

    This podcast often tackles some hefty topics but Adrian and Moira always keep it engaging. I enjoy gaining new or deeper insight into many ongoing issues that often influence us even over here in Europe. You can tell how well researched the episodes are and I’m always looking forward to new ones!

  • My favorite podcast!!!

    Been meaning to leave this review for ages, but since Moira mentioned she reads all the reviews for the pod in the Lena Dunham ep, I took it as a sign. Both hosts are so smart & insightful and my idols in different ways (Moira as a feminist + eminent lesbian, Adrian as an academic who reads Latin with a German accent). I especially love how wide-ranging your topics are — I think I remember Moira mentioning that she has a side interest in medieval saints (Brigid in particular?), and I just wanted... more

  • New to me

    I really enjoy that I have to look up two to three words each time I listen to Adrian. His vocabulary is astounding. He reminds me of my favorite college professor, a man who spoke at least a dozen languages and emanated pure joy. I appreciate the insights and information!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 145 -- Third Anniversary Mailbag Spectacular
Q: Is Freud washed? Should we still study Freudian theory in gender and cultural analysis?
Freud remains useful as a framework for identifying patterns and asking questions about the unconscious, but his theories lack empirical measurability; the dialogue emphasizes how Freud can illuminate contradictions in culture even as parts of his claims are contested.
Episode 145 -- Third Anniversary Mailbag Spectacular
Q: How have your students and colleagues reacted to your podcast, and how many listen?
Undergrads have occasionally listened and found hearing the hosts in real life strange, but overall colleagues largely do not listen; some listeners later recognize voices during office hours, which can be awkward yet endearing.
Episode 128 -- Queer Women in Nazi Germany
Q: What was the landscape for queer visibility in Weimar Germany before the Nazi rise to power?
Weimar Germany was unusually open in big cities with flourishing queer movements, periodicals, and a temporary push to reform Paragraph 175, though it was not a utopia and prosecutions still occurred; openness varied by city and social class.
Episode 108 -- Live from San Francisco, It's Moral Panic Bingo Night!
Q: What makes a society less susceptible to moral panics?
Statistically informed analyses, broad-based awareness, and a tolerance for discomfort can help mitigate moral panics.
Episode 108 -- Live from San Francisco, It's Moral Panic Bingo Night!
Q: What does the anti-Semitism panic have in common with other moral panics?
The truth within them is often more complicated and threatens power, leading to distractions.
