this was a good episode. she is an interesting and very smart person. joe rogan is a knuckle dragging dingus, however, and his neanderthal brain must have trouble with nuance.

Why- what happened? He usually tries to cut it pretty objective, although his brain is pretty normal. I wouldn't call him stupid.

Listened to the Joe Rogan Experience with Megan Phelps-Roper, granddaughter of Fred Phelps and daughter of Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church. She has left the church and it was a really interesting listen. I guess she gave a Ted talk that I'm going to look for as well.

A while back Radiolab ran an episode of 'On the Media' about poverty in the US. It was an excerpt of a 5 part series. The excerpt was good but sobering/depressing. I wanted to get more depressed about poverty here, so I listened to the 5 part episode while driving to pick up my daughter from university. I think it does a pretty good job debunking the myth that the US has the best upward mobility in the world.

Turns out they put out a lot of episodes. I don't download most of them, but when I'm done with something else one of the unplayed episodes will start playing. It focuses on stories about the media, like how recent events are portrayed and news in general. The hosts have that typical NPR sound, and their biases aren't hidden. Trump factors in heavily in a lot of them. But they do have interesting guests. Most of them go unlistened, but when an interesting one starts I finish it.

Mike Rapaport's podcast is hilarious. Not going to be an intellectual listen- just a hip-hop flavored podcast with guys with strong NY accents talkin' s*t.

I'm not a member, but did the podcast have any tips on how to join those courses?

Indeed. You can start planning seriously when you have a quarter million dollars.

I'm sure those clubs are devoid of lawyers.

bro those guys' days of cranking out .1 at a time are over for the most part (at least at a decent club, not some backwoods nouveau riche shithole like oakridge)

step one: stop getting paid in six minute increments

Season 2 of Revisionist History is out. I listened to the first episode. I gotta say, if any of you are members of swanky golf courses that are publicly subsidized yet pay minimal property taxes, I don't think I can interact with you anymore...

I made it through Chapter 6 today. I was doing some computer work at the same time and don't feel that I gave it it's due focus. I'll probably revisit it tomorrow while I'm traveling. I've actually found the whole thing quite intriguing.

I thought S-Town was great, didn't seem exploitative to me.

Did you listen to the last three chapters?
