Fireside Breakdowns

著者: Robin Strathdee and Jon Atkinson
  • サマリー

  • Together, we research and break down complex, and even controversial, topics facing our society. Our goal isn’t to convince you to see things our way. We want to build a foundational understanding of these complicated topics so that we can address them together. We talk about some pretty heavy stuff on this show, and we tackle topics that might feel polarizing. But we do that because we have an important goal in mind: We want to change the way people have hard conversations. And, we think we can do that using research and discussion to create common understanding. And, since you’re here, we hope you want the same thing. So we suggest getting comfortable, and maybe having a good drink on hand as we work through this stuff. Welcome to our fireside.

  • S3 | SS22: Perp Walk Trump
    2023/03/21

    This, friends, is a From The Headlines episode. And what headline are we breaking down for you this time? “Perp walk Trump: Arrest and indictment by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg awaits ex-president” (NY Daily News). Well, not exactly that one. More like this one, from the Washington Post: “Donald Trump Braces for Potential Charges in N.Y. Hush-Money Case, Calls for Protests. Former president urges supporters to ‘TAKE OUR NATION BACK!’” But, no matter which headline you go with, we're talking about the Stormy Daniels hush-money case, the potential crimes committed, and whether or not we'll get to see a perp walk after all.

  • S3 | SS21: Sir, That’s Classified.
    2023/03/02

    “It can’t be that easy to misplace classified documents, can it?!”

    In August 2022, a search turned up some 300 classified documents stored in former President Trump’s home Mar a Lago. In January 2023, outlets began reporting that classified documents had been found at the Penn Biden Center, presumably from Biden’s time as Vice President. Then, just as the proverbial world was debating the differences between the two situations, reports surfaced that classified documents had also been found at Mike Pence’s home in Indiana… So this week, we’re here to break down the situation a little bit more and discuss how this might have happened, the differences between these situations, and how we can know who might have committed an actual crime.

  • S3 | SS20: Apocalypse (90 Metaphorical Seconds From) Now
    2023/02/06

    This week, we’re diving into the complexities of the world's most recognized symbol of existential threat: the doomsday clock. That’s right, the metaphorical clock that slowly marks our advancement toward certain doom due to humanity’s constant thirst for better and more efficient methods to completely wipe ourselves out. Okay, that may be a little melodramatic. But it is true! Learn along with us on *probably* not the last podcast episode you'll ever listen to.
