In Culver City, I'm Reichard Truro. We go now to Gutwater, Wisconsin, where witnesses say they saw actions that some might consider racist at a rally last night on Donald Trump's campaign tour.

Today we'll look at the harrowing tale of a nice, outgoing white girl who is sex-positive.

In act one she'll talk about how hard it was for people in religious communities to accept her message.

In act two, she wrestles with being an inclusive feminist and a good ally.

Then in act three, tragedy, when some college kids ask her to be more mindful. This leads her down a path to the alt-right, eventually dicking down with someone who, just 3 weeks prior, was harassing her online.

The afterwards is a bunch of wondering why her old friends suddenly don't talk to her"
lol they literally did this

Pham Nuwen posted:

I think it's called vocal fry and according to a story I heard on NPR once, by criticizing it you're a... *barely-relevant sound effect*... sexist.

It was on this American life. In some poll that they never really got into, probably of huffington post users, women with upspeak and vocal fry were ranked as sounding authoritative and trustworthy over more traditional sounding female news anchors like Nina totenberg. So disliking vocal fry and upspeak is both misogyny and age-discrimination since it’s a thing of millenialish generations. But ira glass also acknowledged that he does both a lot so :shrug:

I got curious and went back looking for it. Here it is: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/545/if-you-dont-have-anything-nice-to-say-say-it-in-all-caps/act-two

I guess women on TAL staff disproportionately caught a lot of poo poo for it. So maybe disliking vocal fry isn't misogyny per se, but most of the hate mail and internet commenting is directed at women. And it's another outgrowth of the unfair lens held to women's behavior in our society.

The reason he had to keep chasing down exotic dog food, eventually landing on kangaroo, is the dog developed allergies to every other protein source.

Andrew Codrescu retired to the Ozarks very close to where my family lives. Never saw him, but apparently his yard is full of weird old poo poo and dead trees he drags up. So really no different than the average Ozark property.

I’m Steven Dubner and this has been my interview with Charles Koch, one of the most controversial figures in the political world today. I avoided all talk of the billions of dollars Charles and his brother David funneled into anti-environmental causes and climate change denial so that I could feel better about being an upper middle class white male. You know what I came away from this interview with? The Koch Brothers are actually good. This has been Freakonomics.

Got an idea of how to make rich people feel better about being rich? Email is your ideas and we may do an episode about it.
