  • H.R. 40: The Case for Reparations

    In this episode, Thomas and Caleb barely scratch the service on why reparations are necessary, and the societal, economic, and emotional benefits that would come with them. They also talk about the structural issues preventing reparations from making it through the legislature, and the moral contemplations that occur.

    *audio note: Caleb's neighbors started blasting very loud music at around the 50 minute mark of the podcast. We apologize for any inconvenience that this causes in the listening experience.

  • Go Sports Ball! Lets talk about sports, in practice and in culture.

    In this podcast, we have a bit of a change in pace.  Caleb and Thomas have been talking about the serious aspects of the degradation of American democracy, and about what happens as one of America's two major political parties falls into fascism way too much for what is good for their mental health.

    So this week, they decided to talk about something a little bit more fun. There is conversation about the role of sports throughout history, its place in our different societies, and even make a connection in it to the politics of identity.
