• Episode 11: Why We Vote, Democratic Backsliding, Emily Ratajkowski: Buying Myself Back...
    Dec 17 2025

    In our final episode for season one, we discuss voting through a psychological and political lens, the expansion of the American Presidency, and democratic backsliding. We also talk about Emily Ratajkowski's piece 'Buying Myself Back: When does a model own her own image', as well as Chris Evans' leaked photo. We hope this episode leaves you more informed about voting, and also makes you chuckle (you get two bad jokes this week!). We won't be gone for long, so stay tuned!
