This week Danny and Tyler discuss one of their very favorite country artists of past or present: Sturgill Simpson. And they’re joined by fellow comedian, banjo player, and Sturgill fan, Eli Coyote Mandel (@elicoyote, SNL, Search Party)! Eli breaks down the Pete Seeger to John Prine to Sturgill Simpson pipeline, and how he went from hating country to loving it. The boys talk about Sturgill’s excellent storytelling, his rise to country stardom, and his refusal to stick to any one genre. We’re confident that if you’re a fan of folksy goodheartedness and/or fiery guitar licks you’re gonna like Sturgill.
It was hard to narrow down, but here are some more Sturgill recs from Eli, Danny, and Tyler:
Turtles All The Way Down
Sea Stories
In Bloom
Life of Sin
I’d Have To Be Crazy
The Promise
Brace For Impact (Live a Little)
Paradise [from the Broken Hearts and Dirty Windows vol 2 John Prine tribute album]
Railroad of Sin
A Little Light
Call to Arms

RIP to Hargus "Pig" Robbins (January 18, 1938 - January 30, 2022), who was mentioned in this episode (recorded in fall 2021). The Hall of Famer played not only with Sturgill Simpson, but with Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Bob Dylan, and just about everybody else. One of the best pianists of any genre.

The award-winning poet Fiona Benson retells the Greek myth of the Minotaur, upending the legend of the dashing male hero slaying the monster in the labyrinth. In a series of poems in her new collection Ephemeron we hear from the bull-child’s mother – the betrayed and violated Pasiphae. Benson tells Helen Lewis she wanted to explore male and female desire, and the extraordinary cycles of violence and abuse of power in the Greek myths.
The cultural historian Ivan Jablonka has taken his native France by storm with his history of Masculinity – From Patriarchy to Gender Justice, translated by Nathan Bracher. In it he asks what it means to be a good man? Using examples from the past he explores the origins and structure of male dominance. He argues that it’s time that men took more responsibility and fought harder for genuine equality.
The political philosopher Nina Power is more circumspect about the demonisation of men, which she believes is now rampant in today’s society. In What Do Men Want, Power looks at what happens when men feel beleaguered and retreat to the ‘manosphere’, and she explores ways in which men and women can live together more harmoniously.
The number of people living alone has increased over the last decade, but it’s still a path that goes against what society expects, according to the entrepreneur and Founder of the lifestyle magazine, About Time, Angelica Malin. She became single at the beginning of lockdown and has now brought together 30 women to explore what single womanhood means in the modern age, in Unattached.

Most people think that the second world war started in September of 1939 when Germany invaded Poland.
However, that was only the beginning of the European war.
The conflict in Asia, however, actually began much earlier. What both the European and Asian theaters have in common is they started with an invasion by a belligerent power which was done under false pretenses.
Learn more about the Mukden Incident, and how it began the road to the second world war, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In Useful Bullshit: Consitutions in Chinese Politics and Society (Cornell University Press, 2022) Dr. Neil Diamant pulls back the curtain on early constitutional conversations between citizens and officials in the PRC primarily around the first draft constitution in 1954. Scholars have argued that China, like the former USSR, promulgated constitutions to enhance its domestic and international legitimacy by opening up the constitution-making process to ordinary people, and by granting its citizens political and socioeconomic rights. Despite many considering the document "bullshit," successive PRC governments have promulgated it, amending the constitution, debating it at length, and even inaugurating a "Constitution Day." But what did ordinary officials and people say about their constitutions and rights? Did constitutions contribute to state legitimacy?
Drawing upon a wealth of archival sources from the Maoist and reform eras, Diamant explores all facets of this constitutional discussion, as well as its afterlives in the late '50s, the Cultural Revolution, and the post-Mao era. Useful Bullshit illuminates how the Chinese government understands and makes use of the constitution as a political document, and how a vast array of citizens—police, workers, university students, women, and members of different ethnic and religious groups—have responded.
This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars. Dr. Melcher also lived in Beijing, China for nearly 10 years, and keeps an eye on China-Africa security issues.
