You're Wrong About You're Wrong About

This week, criminal justice correspondent Josie Duffy Rice dives into America’s obsession with prosecuting children. From 19th century houses of refuge to modern day detention centers, we comb through the tangled braids of juvenile incarceration, tough on crime fallacies, as well as criminality and its dark shadow of capitalism. Please take care while listening. 
Side bars include ice cream boats, Ronald Reagan, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating range.

Thank you so much for your patience with our FEBRUARY bonus, which needed just a little more time in the oven 3

This week, the girls reflect on their trip to the 2023 US Figure Skating Championships, and can't help but wonder: Where has all the skating gone? Why is it so hard to watch? And when you watch it, why is it so hard to understand? We get into costumes, music, our favorite performances from the competition, an attempted explanation of the 6.0 scoring system and 2002's Skategate, and—of course—Zambonis.

*Correction: the 2002 bribery scandal involved the French ice dancers being offered a higher score, but not first place.

This week, survival correspondent Blair Braverman tells Sarah the story of a Supertramp. In 1996, Jon Krakauer's book Into the Wild described a young man, Chris McCandless, who changed his name, walked into the Alaskan bush, and died after mistakenly eating a toxic plant. Or did he? Now, Sarah and Blair talk about the McCandless archive and its legacy in conversations around wilderness, Alaska, violence, and more.
