July 16, 2023 Episode 15: Hazing at Northwestern
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.
