Perhaps the oddest and most controversial presidential election in American history was the election of 1824. It is an election that doesn’t get a lot of attention given who won and the lack of major issues at stake, but it is one which more people should be familiar with.

The Gist - Racism In The Simulation

On the Gist, a sigh.

In the interview, Mike talks to Dr. Rashawn Ray, a sociologist studying new methods of measuring implicit bias using virtual simulations of police officer decision-making at the Lab for Applied Social Science Research at the University of Maryland, College Park. He and his team are encouraged that by researching and educating law enforcement with real life social interaction training, they might be able to incite change in outcomes between officers and civilians. Ray is a Brookings Institution fellow and associate professor of sociology at UMD. Part one of their conversation is today.

In the spiel, vote twice, felony once.

The Right to Drink - The Right to Drink Trailer – Coming September 15!

“The Right to Drink” is a new podcast about drinking and everything that gets in the way. Prohibition may have been 100 years ago, but some of the craziest laws on the books still get in the way of Americans enjoying the right to produce, consume, and sell the booziest beverages. 

Host, expert and author Jarrett Dieterle (Give Me Liberty & Give Me a Drink, Artisan Books) will introduce you to brewers, distillers, and bartenders who will help answer questions like: Why does your cocktail cost so much? Why do brewers get in trouble for putting curse words on beer bottles? And why do so many states ban happy hour? 

This podcast is brought to you by the R Street Institute and DrinksReform.org.

Then WNBA player Renee Montgomery talks to Dan about taking this season off to focus on activism and social justice.
