    Ep. #10: Holiday Grab Bag and 2020 in Review (Ugh!)

    We recorded this special episode Christmas Day to talk about the stories that stuck with us from this strange and hideous year, and to offer our best-of-2020 recs for Coping with Our Tizzies--the books, music, movies, etc. that helped us get through this mess. Among the writing we reference on today's show, you can find Katherine Morgan's essay "White Rage, White Guilt" from Bitch Media here, and Jessica Bennett's NYT piece, "What if Instead of Calling People Out, We Called Them In?" here. As always, hit us up on the RAGE Line -- (702) 907-RAGE -- to share your thoughts and we may play them on the air. You can also find us on Twitter and Instagram @OhThisWorldPod, and you can write to us at ohthisworldpod@gmail.com. Thanks for listening. Stay safe and healthy and we'll see you in 2021!

    Ep. #8: OTW Smorgasbord -- There's Energy in Texas, Y'all!! / Teacher Lies, Ctd. / A Lucasian Hate Read

    On today's episode, Antoinette and Lucas check in with each other two weeks before the election. We talk early voting, the energy in Texas, and what voters need to do to flip the state. We also call attention to two recent election-related interviews: our conversation with Rebecca Bell-Metereau, the Democratic candidate for Texas State Board of Education, District 5, and our talk with Mathew Ruberg, DigiDem for the Wendy Davis campaign, who offers essential info on relational organizing in #TX21. Check them out! The time to get involved with both of these campaigns is now. We also wrap up our conversation on our current OTW Book Club selection, Lies My Teacher Told Me, by James Loewen, and introduce our next choice: Good Citizens: Creating Enlightened Society, by Thich Nhat Hanh. Our hate-read of the week: this Washington Post column, which sent Lucas into a seething frenzy. Ideas for getting out the vote two weeks before the election? Thoughts on the book? Want to share a hate read of your own? Leave a message on our RAGE line: (702) 907-RAGE, or email us at ohthisworldpod@gmail.com.
