  • Caricature of a King
    Jan 19 2021

    It is always inspiring to scroll social media on MLK Day every year, to see a timeline full of Black excellence and inspiration. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the most quotable figures in human history, and we prove that with every quote-stamped photo. But it seems in our pursuit to preserve the legacy of this great man, we've left out some key elements.

    We seem to have forgotten he was a revolutionary, notorious in the eyes of the country he loved.

    This episode explores our complicated relationship with one of the greatest leaders who ever lived.

  • Consider the Source
    Dec 22 2020

    Alien invasions, internet misinformation, and our own wild thoughts...

    We gather our information from what we've always known to be credible sources. Sometimes that works out—other times… mass hysteria.

    And the apparently credible source that screws us up the most?

    Dec 15 2020

    An earworm is a song with a catchy melody that sticks to your consciousness like gum on the bottom of your shoe. Sometimes it's a song you love, but more often than not, it’s a bubble gum pop song or an annoying jingle from a car dealership commercial.

    This episode is about earworms of the musical AND cultural kind.
