September 22, 2025 This Building Is a Bucket with Ben Schneider
We are joined by author, urbanist, and certified bucket Ben Schneider to talk about stadiums from an urbanist perspective. We discuss how stadiums play a role in what Mike Davis once dubbed “the infinite game” of metropolitan development projects. We also get into why Urbanist Twitter and NBA Twitter feel strangely similar, why basketball stadiums tend to work better for cities than football stadiums, and whether Steph Curry is secretly the youngest NIMBY alive.

September 10, 2025 Locking, Locked, and Locked TF In to the WNBA Playoffs with Maitreyi Anantharaman
We are joined by Defector staff writer Maitreyi Anantharaman to preview the WNBA playoffs. We've got something for everyone – fans locking into the playoffs, fans already locked into this season, and fans locked the f**k into their specific team’s playoff domination. We also talk who won the Plum x Aces divorce, if Caitlin Clark is the victim of racism (she's not), and what playoff outcome would be the most narratively fruitful for Maitreyi's book. Also, Harry addresses his anonymous comments in The Cut.
