Thanks for making this thread - I just got into them the other night and episode 57 blew me away with how on point the content was and how loving insanely smart and put together the guest was. It was just a delight of listening to smart, incisive people discuss a powerful topic and I kind of want them to revisit it and do a 6 hour special or something because I could listen to Dean Spade go on all day.

AnimeIsTrash posted:On a slight tangent what is a good episode to introduce people to this podcast? Others have answered, but I'll take a different tact. If you're trying to get someone into the podcast, you really need to pick an episode that speaks to that person specifically, especially if they aren't already mostly on board with this stuff. They have a lot of takes that liberals would consider nuclear hot takes because the entire point of the show is critique and attack of what is generally considered "liberal" media. To be slightly more useful than just that, here is a short list of episodes and who I'd target them at: Episode 59: Mindless Militarism in American Sports - http://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/episode-59-national-pastimes-mindless-militarism-in-american-sports This is a great episode for people critical of American militarism in general, especially if they already use terms like "sportsball". Episode 57: Trivializing Trans Rights as a Boutique "Identity" Issue - http://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/episode-57-a-matter-of-survival-trivializing-trans-rights-as-a-boutique-identity-issue Very good if the person has trans friends. WARNING: A lot of people who are pretty good on LGB rights are pretty piss poor on T rights, so be warned. (As others mentioned, the guest on this one is loving hot poo poo and amazing) Episode 41: The Moral Poverty of Capitalist Healthcare - http://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/episode-41-the-moral-poverty-of-capitalist-healthcare-framing Have a friend without insurance on ones who have been hosed by the healthcare system? Maybe just terrified of losing their job because their kids on their insurance? Excellent episode. News Brief: Why the Media Should Stop Calling it a "Government Shutdown" - http://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/news-brief-why-the-media-should-stop-calling-it-a-government-shutdown Know someone being impacted by this loving bullshit right now? Hit'em up. Episode 26: The "Welfare" Dog-Whistle - http://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/episode-26-the-welfare-dog-whistle Have a friend who is mostly on the level but weirdly regressive about "paying your fair share" and "work as dignity" poo poo? This might open their eyes a bit
