The Daily Signal - Ep. 309: In Britain, Free Speech at Risk

Great Britain has historically been one of the most free countries in the world. But in this hypersensitive age, free speech is coming under genuine threat -- not just on college campuses, but across British society. Anglican Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali joins us to discuss. Plus: The media gets worked up over an apparent ice-throwing incident in Brett Kavanaugh’s past. We also cover these stories:--Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the Senate will vote this week on Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination.--Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., expresses concern over Kavanaugh acting "partisan."--Amazon is raising its U.S. minimum wage to $15 an hour.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.

Philosophers In Space - 0G25: Minority Report and Time Paradoxes

As sometimes happens, we've generated a minority report to last episode's majority report. The differences between the short story and the movie are substantial, including a reversal in the outcome. While we have much debate over whether this minority report reflects a flaw in the system or a feature, we're putting it forward in the spirit of transparency and to avoid space fascism. By listening to this report, you may create an infinite regress of your own reports, but we're willing to take that risk.

Excerpts from a book on Minority Report and Free will: https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=NXmv0zXZBi4C&oi=fnd&pg=PA103&dq=Minority+report+determinism&ots=U8bJuPOSzl&sig=7eUUflSo9H5_acUsP45Kc2lnQiY#v=onepage&q=Minority%20report%20determinism&f=false

The Gist - Mueller on the Mind

On The Gist, Beto O’Rourke has the momentum but also a mountain to climb. 

In the interview, Neal Katyal has argued 37 cases before the Supreme Court, and (better yet!) joined Mike Pesca on stage at Slate Day in Austin, Texas. Our condensed version of the interview covers the implications of a confirmed Brett Kavanaugh, why Robert Mueller “will have the last laugh” when it comes to taking on Trump, and what the indictment of a sitting U.S. president would look like. 

In the Spiel, what mothers of sons have to say about Kavanaugh.

Undiscovered - Plants And Prejudice

Are non-native species all that bad, or are we just prejudiced against “the Other”? In the San Francisco Bay Area, one particular foreign species has been dividing environmentalists for years: the blue gum eucalyptus. Eucalyptus opponents say it’s a serious fire hazard. Defenders say there’s no good evidence it’s worse than native plants. Which is it? And is the fight against non-native species grounded in science or xenophobia? In this episode of Undiscovered, Annie and Elah investigate.

The Goods from the Woods - Episode #214 – “Tribute Albums” with John-Michael Bond

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys, and their special guest host Joe Raines, are joined by one of our favorite past guests of the show: John-Michael Bond! This episode is all about the record store oddity that is the TRIBUTE ALBUM. Ever since people starting doing weird ass Beatles tributes in the 70's, these curiosities of pop music have befuddled everyone who's ever listened to one. This episode covers bizarre covers of The Carpenters by Sonic Youth, The Ramones by U2, The Doors by Smash Mouth, Big Tymers by Devil Wears Prada, and ZZ Top by Nickelback. Also, how the fuck are Scarlett Johansson, Adam Sandler, Billy Bob Thornton, and Liam Neeson all wrapped-up in this phenomenon? Tune in to one of our finest episodes to date to find out! Follow John-Michael Bond on Twitter @BondJohnBond.
