Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andrea Louise Campbell, "Taxation and Resentment: Race, Party, and Class in American Tax Attitudes" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: What about partisanship and ideology? How do they play a role with respect to how people think about taxes?
Attitudes toward taxes can be influenced by partisanship, with Republicans often more skeptical of taxes, but many Democrats also have negative feelings regarding tax policies, leading to an anti-tax advantage for Republicans.
Andrea Louise Campbell, "Taxation and Resentment: Race, Party, and Class in American Tax Attitudes" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: Could you just quickly take our listeners through how did that progressivity erode?
The federal income tax was highly progressive initially, as only the top decile paid it, but over time, high-income individuals sought tax breaks and lower tax rates, leading to a less progressive system overall.
Laura Garbes, "Listeners Like Who?: Exclusion and Resistance in the Public Radio Industry" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: What are some of the experiences of marginalized voices in radio?
They often face internal and external pressures to conform to dominant standards of 'acceptable' voices.
Laura Garbes, "Listeners Like Who?: Exclusion and Resistance in the Public Radio Industry" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: Why did you choose to study public radio for your book?
I was intrigued by how public media claims to be inclusive but is rooted in historical biases that shape whose voices are heard.
Anna Strhan and Rachael Shillitoe, "Growing Up Godless: Non-Religious Childhoods in Contemporary England" (Princeton UP, 2025)
Q: What role do schools play in shaping children's non-religious identities?
Schools significantly shape children's perspectives on non-religion, often through RE classes, allowing children to recognize their own non-religious identities.
