Third Parties Are Saving Democracy
On today’s episode of Hear Me Out: nobody wins with two parties.
A competitive presidential election draws closer every day – and as ever, every vote will count. So is it fair to accuse third-party voters of wasting a vote, as often happens? Or are third-party candidates actually preserving what little we have left of a competitive democracy?
Bernard Tamas of Valdosta State University joins us to make the case for the power of the third party.

A Word: Freaknik: Party in the Black
Nostalgia for the 1990s is everywhere, and for a generation of African Americans, perhaps nothing symbolizes the fun of that decade more than Freaknik. A sprawling days-long festival of all the good –and bad– of spring break behavior, at its height, Freaknik drew tens of thousands of partiers each year from around the country to Atlanta. So why did the party stop, and is there any way it could ever come back again?
On today’s episode of A Word, Jason Johnson discusses the Hulu documentary Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told with director P. Frank Williams and executive producer Geraldine Porras..

Well, Now: We Don’t Need to Cure Autism
April is Autism Acceptance Month, and how we’ve come to understand autism has evolved over the past several decades.
For years, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was thought of as something that needed to be cured. Through better data and years of activism, that misunderstanding is changing.
On this week’s episode of Well, Now we discuss that evolution with Sara Luterman, caregiving reporter for The 19th.
Podcast production by Vic Whitley-Berry and Ahyiana Angel with editorial oversight by Alicia Montgomery.

What Next TBD: The Internet Archive Endangered
From the Wayback Machine to the mass-digitization of the history of Aruba, the Internet Archive is a non-profit doing valuable work. But some of its other projects—a pandemic-era lending library and the ongoing digitalization of 78 rpm records—have led to lawsuits now threatening the future of this repository of the past.

Customer Reviews
The best pod on President Manbaby
The four-six minutes of each episode that is not commercials is usually pretty good. The best in-depth podcast on the disastrous presidency of Mango Mussolini.
Echo room
If you are wondering how conspiracy theories arise, this is one school example. The program worked professionally and one believes that this is really fact-based. then one more critical listener will eventually hear that one is only talking about what if and maybe. virtually no facts are discussed, one takes a really insignificant and everyday occurrence in the world and with a variety, what if and maybe, one makes it a giant thing. Quite the same as one sees, for example, the UFO hunters make amazing stories of pyramids and other ancient sites.
Bra og morsom på en tragisk måte
En god kilde til nyheter om alt som er Trump. I blant skinner det gjennom at de kanskje er litt for glad i nyliberalisme. Hør episoden med Naomi Klein "The Trump Brand and the Conversation That Isn’t Happening on the Left". Episoden om Antifa er også veldig god.
