Relating America's Car Obsession To Its Dominance In Podcasting [Episode 66]
While cars are a staple in most countries, America clearly has an obsession on automobiles that's hard to top. Perhaps it's no coincidence that America also dominates the podcasting scene, counting either creators or listeners.
No, I'm kidding. It's pure coincidence. But the correlation does allow me to pontification on why the two are similar, even though completely unrelated.
In America, we have a concept of a "Sunday drive", where one drives around rather aimlessly, without a particular destination in mind. And that' a good metaphor for this episode, since I really didn't have a place I was trying to take it.
But I think we wound up somewhere interesting and of value to "creators" of podcasts, whatever that might mean.
Mentioned in this episode:
Support For Abortion Rights
While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th.
Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.
Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few.
You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.
If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to get more involved, here are 5 resources:
1. ShoutYourAbortion.com is a campaign to normalize abortion.
2. DontBanEquality.com is a campaign for companies to take a stand against abortion restrictions.
3. Abortion.cafe has information about where to find clinics.
4. PlanCPills.org provides early at-home abortion pills that you can keep in your medicine cabinet.
5. Choice.CRD.co has a collection of these resources and more.
We encourage you to speak up! And spread the word.
