    Meghan Markle Commits The Ultimate Atrocity: Making Jam

    Meghan Markle Commits The Ultimate Atrocity: Making Jam

    We’ve just learned that a fifth grader listens to this show (hi, Zarie!) and would consider a swear jar if the tabloids weren’t so… you know.
    This week: 
    A gross, sexist rundown of a feud between two Vegas strip clubs WHY DON’T WE GET TO SEE THE INSIDE OF MEGHAN MARKLE’S HOUSE?!?!?!? WHYYYYYY A small number of men commit a disgusting crime, and not only is it a widespread trend – it’s actually women’s fault for being mean :( Side note: Thanks to listener Sara for pointing this out on Twitter — Maura misspoke and brothels are legal in 10 of Nevada's 16 counties. Sexism is real in all of them, though.

    #KateGate: People Still Be Saying Stuff (Derogatory)

    With Kate’s now-public diagnosis of cancer, we wish the Princess all the best… but it hasn’t quieted down the tabloid maelstrom of ugliness, blame, and misdirection. The real question is: was it ever going to?In what we hope is our final special episode on #KateGate, we discuss what happened, what’s happening, and where we go from here.

Media literacy made funny: the Daily Show for tabloids

This is my weekly must-listen, the antidote to the biased and sloppy writing of tabloids. Calling out promotions disguised as reporting, tentative language/hedging, conflicts of interest, racism, misogyny, and grammatical anomalies, this show will keep your critical thinking skills sharp!

PinkyL'Amour ,

FAB!

So smart, so perceptive, so funny. I laugh out loud during each episode!

ChicagoGals ,

Used to be better

Whoever the new co-host is I cannot take her juvenile style. It’s like listening to a high schooler. She also interrupts the other lady who makes good and valid points throughout. The “sounds”
She makes are not cute, they’re unprofessional.
