    Feminism Fights for Liberty and Equality for All: An Interview With Kat Murti

    It's all too common to dismiss ideas without understanding them. Feminism suffers this affliction more than most, with many people quick to denounce it while advancing very little knowledge of what feminists argue or what evidence they muster to support their claims. To help address that unfortunate ignorance, I'm joined today by Kat Murti, co-founder of Feminists for Liberty.

    The US Right's Dangerous Quest for Unbridled State Power: An Interview With Robert Tracinski

    The US Right's Dangerous Quest for Unbridled State Power: An Interview With Robert Tracinski

    For a certain sort of social conservative, Viktor Orbán's Hungary is the North Star. The realization of fantasies about how social liberalism can be done away with and “trad living” elevated to primacy, if only the power of a committed executive were turned to that task. On today's episode, I'm joined by Robert Tracinski. He's the editor of Symposium, a journal of liberalism, and writes additional commentary at The Tracinski Letter.

    What Law and Order Means to Black Americans (w/ Stephen Henderson)

    What Law and Order Means to Black Americans (w/ Stephen Henderson)

    Politicians love to stress the need for law and order, and most Americans are on board with that. But the phrase rings rather differently in middle-class suburbia than it does in those communities most subject to the heavy hand--or fist--of the law.
    To explore what law and order looks like in African American communities, I'm joined today by Stephen Henderson. He's the host of NPR's Detroit Today and Detroit Public Television's American Black Journal. Before working in TV and radio, Henderson won a Pulitzer Prize for Commentary for his writing at the Detroit Free Press.
