  • Ugh!

    Please if you do go on vacation again, DO NOT, I repeat. DO NOT have Mo’Kelly fill in! I was on with suicide prevention twice! Finally they said either do it or turn off the show. When you’re gone cut the show to one hour. These hosts are not you, they can’t “fill in”, and all they do is fill dead air. And honestly, dead air would be preferable to Mo. Does he have a brother les’Kelley, that can take over? After I turned off the show I called my proctologist for a colonoscopy. I needed somethi... more

  • It’s too Harrison Bergeron!

    This review program seems to have fits for long reviews, so I invite the reader to look up “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut.

    What ruins this podcast is the constant and sudden advertisements that interrupt the flow of discussion without warning, causing a state of distraction.

    I don’t want to listen to podcasts governed by the Handicapper General. That’s a “Harrison Bergeron” reference.

  • Good info, annoying audio

    First, Sarah Kendzior is a national treasure and I always make it a point to listen to her segments! She deserves all the apologies from the big-deal pundits who treated her and her podcast like histrionic little girls.

    Regarding the audio: is it too much to ask that ads be timed at the end of a person’s sentence? I notice this phenomenon more and more in different shows, so this seems to be a generally accepted poor production value now, much to the detriment of show quality. The frequent scre... more

Q: How did women contribute to the civil rights struggle and respond to being excluded from prominent roles at the March on Washington?
Women organized locally, shaped policy, and contributed as activists and performers. Some privately criticized the sexism they faced, while others pressed publicly for inclusion. After the march, a group of women met in Washington and created the framework for the National Organization for Women.

Q: Give me a jetliner view of this and then we can look at some polling.
Jared Yates Sexton says the election faces risks including intimidation, misinformation, disinformation, disputes over voting machines, and lawsuits during certification. He warns that these pressures could discourage participation and further weaken confidence in elections.

Q: What does experience say about these parties that aren't really aligned somehow coming together as a coalition to oust Netanyahu and to move ahead?
A coalition depends on whether parties can withstand pressure to defect and agree on a stable bloc of at least 61 members. The larger opposition bloc has more support than Netanyahu's party, but its members may disagree over potential partners and policy.

Q: I wonder if you can just press you to explain the Technofeudalism book I thought was terrific, the idea I thought was breakthrough.
Varoufakis argues that major digital platforms function as private fiefdoms: algorithms shape what users see and buy, while platform owners extract rent without producing the goods sold.
