Same Here, Man

Purity Culture pt. 1 - Innocent Until Proven... Adult?


Listen Later

Lou and Marie dig up the roots of "childhood innocence," tracing the role of children through history and capitalism. Lucille makes Marie read a mommy blog. Tangents include Freud, the moral panic around Critical Race Theory, and the Industrial Revolution.

This episode will provide valuable background to the next Purity Culture episode, when childhood innocence shapes how we view/hate/[attempt to]control teenagers.
