I haven't really listened to TrueAnon but I'm listening to the mission schools ep and huh this is actually really good

listen to more trueanon. it's allll good

i enjoyed it but it was very little brace/liz, too little. infact, i'm not sure liz spoke at all besides the intro/outro. although that seems to be somewhat common is more interview-y stuff like Maria Farmer episode she doesn't seem to say much

when I get earbuds, I'm just going to flip a coin to see whether I listen to TrueAnon or a book on tape

either/or, I can't go wrong, will just get frustrated at the flips if it comes up too many times

i get the impression that franczak doesn't want to say something insensitive during fraught interviews and so just lets belden get on with it

the guy they were interviewing was extremely intense and clearly personally invested in what he was talking about. the episode was informative, but it did turn into a bit of a rant at times. the usual comedy bits and chemistry got lost a little, and the connections they're normally able to sketch out to bourgeois society as a whole were missing because they clearly - and reasonably - didn't want to mess too much with their guest. a good episode so long as it's an exception imo

Absolutely. It's just a bit odd brace is always the one talking in most of their "interview" episodes, because I think she would be less likely to even say something insensitive and I think she could have things to inquire or ask about, but maybe it's just a sit-back-and-record style for her and not in the comfort-zone. which does end up losing elements of the show -- but that's okay, as you say, are rare exceptions

i liked it, it was definitely informative (all of them are; even the christmas elves episode), but perhaps because I knew a good portion of the content that it wouldn't go in my top 25.

it was certainly a much more serious and heavy episode considering the circumstances but well, it's certainly justified in this case

along with Citations Needed, ALAB is fantastic, esp. the sanctions episode (i think the followup comparison with cyberwarfare is even better).

the barrier i've found for my friends is to expose the "neutral" state of the world as something with history that has a resulting power structure. for people who grew up in the 80s-90s, past the "end of history", the biggest hurdle is to get past premises that you don't even think about. for one of my STEM friends ~20 years ago, the phrase "faith is not a virtue" was what really snapped him out of the last vestiges of being a christian.

the other approach is maybe economics focused, maybe richard wolff's podcast/youtube? i've not really gone deep on it though.

I wonder if it's because the interview episodes are more likely to bring non-listeners who are just interested in the person being interviewed and they want to minimize Liz's polarizing voice. Everytime i make the wife listen to trueanon in the car she mentions about 4 times an episode she hates that woman's voice and would have turned it off immediately if I wasn't listening.

lmao @ the phrase "polarizing voice"

yeah the opening banter was pretty good even if the rest of it was an incredibly depressing interview. I'd already somehow missed that the Canadian schools didn't close until the 90s, and I was still processing that while they kept talking up a report on the abuses that happened in the system and then casually dropped that it came out in 1907 and I felt like I went nuts for a second

yeah i get that it's a legitimately upsetting topic and there's not a lot of other ways to cover it, but tbh i'm glad that the show is not generally like this. i'm an ocean away from this stuff, so for me it's not an obvious thing to get upset about despite it being incredibly harrowing. my country had its own indigenous genocide programme (and traveller sterilisation until the seventies), but it never got that bad, and the follow-up to it has been less abjectly terrible than it's been in the americas.

the point being, part of the appeal of trueanon (to me, at least) is that it's fun. this episode wasn't fun. i accept that it's probably not possible to do an episode about this which is both fun and not incredibly crass, so this is fine - but i'm glad that it's not every episode.

LMAO at forcing your wife to listen to something she hates for hours at a time.

here�s a pro tip: if you�re trying to crack-ping someone, start off by talking about the history of slavery in the US. slavery is something every reasonable person can agree is bad. once you crest that hill, you can lay the groundwork for �so if slavery is bad, and the government did slavery, the government is bad� and from there you can go in literally any direction, from politics to capitalism itself to institutional racism to how our prison system is just slavery with a different label.

the other upside is that if you can�t get them to accept the baseline of �slavery is bad� then they are just a hosed up moron and you don�t have to talk to them anymore.
