Ep. 95. Downton Abbey
This week on the podcast we're getting into the beloved BBC series, Downton Abbey! It's... a lot of classism, not gonna lie. But also a pretty healthy smattering of sexism and racism. Plus we talk about how Todd Phillips won't stop putting his foot in his mouth.

Customer Reviews
Excellent!
Super entertaining and well-organized discussions of problematic topics. I can’t believe more people aren’t subscribing to this.
Yay!
Make new episodes, r y’all done or some?
Longtime listener finally jumping ship :(
I started listening a few years ago and I’ve really enjoyed the technical elements of the show. Ultimately, I’ve been driven further and further from being a committed listener due to frustration with the show’s approach to politics and the way that people can influence them. I think that this format of show would really benefit from a leftist perspective, which, I’ve come to realize, is not what I’m going to get here. The show’s handling of Bernie Sanders has been frustrating and saddening for me. I believe that podcast media is a great way to change the political landscape for the better and I’ve spent a long time hoping that this podcast would be outspokenly critical of capitalism but that’s not what you’ll get here.
