Then, Vanderbilt professor Jacob Mchangama joins to discuss his new book, The Future of Free Speech.

    Not Even Mad: John Ganz & Nick Gillespie

    Today on a Not Even Mad, Mike is joined by political writer John Ganz and Reason’s Nick Gillespie to debate whether the ceasefire with Iran is a strategic victory for the regime or a result of Donald Trump’s bellicose rhetoric.

    Freddie DeBoer and Devon Price on the "Identity Trap" of Neurodiversity

    Today on The Gist, Mike explores the "innovation" of linguistic shifts, from the return of the "R-word" in the New York Times to the syllable-heavy expansion of terms like "unhoused" and "neurodivergent." Then, social psychologist Devon Price and author Freddie DeBoer join the show for a debate on the limits of the neurodiversity movement. They discuss the friction between seeing mental conditions as neutral sources of diversity versus medical illnesses that require management, while addressing the "TikTok-ification" of disorders and the struggle to include nonverbal and severely disabled voices in the conversation. Plus, why identifying with an illness can sometimes create an incentive to stay sick and the "coming out" phase of an autistic identity.

    Noam Scheiber and the "Vinyl Record" Phase of American Unions

    Today on The Gist, Mike Pesca continues his conversation with The New York Times’ Noam Scheiber about his book, Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class. Mike challenges the notion that unions are on a massive upswing by comparing their cultural footprint to the niche appeal of vinyl records. They discuss how a generation of overqualified workers found strategic leverage in the Starbucks trademark lawsuit and why many graduates are trading traditional career arcs for ideological solidarity. Plus, a ten-year retrospective on the "worst year ever" as Mike honors the luminaries of 2016 with a series of puns.

    Noam Scheiber on the "Class Confidence" of the Overqualified

    Today on The Gist, Mike Pesca explores his history with labor unions, contrasting the time-and-a-half efficiency of NPR with the more complicated protections of WNYC. Then, The New York Times’ Noam Scheiber joins to discuss his new book, Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class, and how a generation of overqualified workers is using their "class confidence" to unionize service-sector giants like Apple and Starbucks. Plus, a deep dive into the "What if [Animal] had a job?" formula of animated movies and Mike’s meta-pitch for a cinematic universe where horses are viewed through the judgmental eyes of cows.
