The Work of Michelle Obama

I binge listened to as many 'Show Your Work' podcasts by Lainey Gossip as I could while on vacation. There is a lot of banter at the beginning of each episode but once they start talking about the subject matter - pure gold sets in. As soon as I finished listening to this commentary about Michelle Obama's book, 'Becoming' -- I need I had to read the book RIGHT AWAY. Lainey & Duana will make you realize how much respect we need to pay the former FLOTUS, and I laughed out loud when they referred to Barack Obama as 'easy breezy'. I cried 5 times while reading 'Becoming'. If anybody knows any other podcasts that discuss this book, please let me know.

The Remote Control Brain

Amazing. This podcast astonishes me on the invisible psychological forces that science is exploring. This episode looks at a "switch" that has potential to help allievate OCD and depression, but is more complicated than just "on" or "off".

What ISIS can teach us about fighting far-right violence online

Great podcast episode & insights by Taylor Owen on the difference between having the freedom to say my mind and having the right to get my message amplified.

The Cranberries - All Over Now

I love The Cranberries & it was pretty emotional for me when Dolores O'Riordan died last year. This is a fantastic episode about how they put together the song "All Over Now". It is very Cure-like but it's a classic Cranberries song. A fitting end.

#913: Counting The Homeless

I didn't know NYC has a law requiring homeless people to be sheltered. This episode argues that shelters are more expensive than more permanent housing, and that housing is an easier problem to solve than imagined.

Contrapoints on taking the trolls seriously

Interesting discussion of the lineage between Richard Dawkins/Christopher Hutchins and Jordan Peterson/Sam Harris. I’d never thought of it that way!
