We discuss the allegations of hazing in Northwestern football, what is hazing, why organizations engage in hazing, and how organizations can make the reforms necessary, with the FAMU Band as a case study. And (at timestamp 1:05:06) lighten the mood discussing the USWNT probably not winning this upcoming World Cup (and why that is OK).

Content warning for the majority of the show; we discuss details of hazing including physical, mental, and sexual violence, and player abuse via coaches. Time stamp 1:05:06 we move into discussing the USWNT, if you need to skip past the discussion of hazing.

For a very special Fourth of July episode, we discuss another story of overthrowing some Imperial Brits: Star Wars! By comparing schools to characters and sorting them into conferences based on their role within the galaxy far, far away. We also add some characters into a defense.
