XXceedingly Persuasive episodes

  • XXP 5. Who's Got the Vote?
    We discuss Florida's voting rights rollback, the history of gerrymandering and redistricting, poll taxes and the census, and ways that people who have been through the Criminal Justice system are stigmatized.
    We apologize for some technical difficulties with editing (blame Mkz, not Brooke!) while we learn our new craft!
    53 min
  • XXP 4. How I Learned to Stop Worrying & Love Iran
    We toy with whether our country is going to plunge into a nuclear war with Iran (probably at the bidding of Fox News' Tucker Carlson). We also discuss the abhorrent conditions at our government's migrant child detention camps and, gosh dang it, E. Jean Carroll's swiftly forgotten rape accusation against Trump.
    Content Warning: Rape & Sexual Assault (and in an existential, Trump-era sense, everything?)
    56 min
  • XXP 2. Into the Depths of Repro Rights
    We discuss the risk to women's freedom, healthcare, and reproductive rights posed by the extreme anti-choice laws recently passed in red states-- going through the legal framework and jurisprudential history of the right to choose (how it's rooted in the Constitution, other social freedoms, and the right to privacy). We also debunk some medical and cultural myths about abortion and the effects it has on the individual and society.
