More Podcast Recommendations

I've been doing more painting lately, and so there has also been more podcast-listening for me. Here's what I've heard:

The most recent episode of Why Is This Happening with Chris Hayes, in which he talked to one of my favorite writers (and Twitterers), Dave Roberts of Vox. They both were undergrad philosophy majors and this episode is about how we (as humans) come to believe we know what we know, and how that relates to our current crisis of epistemic closure. Highly recommended. Oh, and the whole thing is transcribed on that link, so if you prefer reading to listening, this one is ready to go.

Call Your Girlfriend's episode on White Fragility, including an interview with Robin DiAngelo, author of a book by that title.

The Whose Streets? episode of WNYC's On the Media from late November. I really appreciated this one because it covered several stories related to how cities are (or aren't) made for people, starting with an interview with Angie Schmitt (another one of my favorites from Twitter), followed by a skeptical look at autonomous vehicles, info on an opera being written about Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses, and finally a short piece on transit rights.

All in all, some good listening!
