The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: WTF? We’re Cursing More

How often do you use swear words? If they’ve become a more regular part of your vocabulary, you’re not alone. Research shows Americans have been cursing more often since the onset of the pandemic.

We’ll get into the history of curse words, and where they get their power, with the man who wrote the book on profanity, Michael Adams. He’s a linguist and English professor at Indiana University.

But first, we have author and executive coach May Busch. She spent 24 years in the investment banking world and is now a go-to advisor on things like career advancement and how to better communicate in the workplace. She explains when it’s ok, even encouraged, to use curse words at work and when to avoid it.

Warning: there are curse words said in the second half of this episode.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Fundamental Rights Doublespeak

On the great legal history episode of Amicus, host Dahlia Lithwick is joined first by David Gans, director of the Human Rights, Civil Rights, and Citizenship Program at the Constitutional Accountability Center. While GOP Senators used the Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings to take potshots at important ideas like unenumerated rights and substantive due process to score points with their base, the talking points became entrenched in political discourse. Does it matter? Of course it does.


Later in the show, Dahlia is joined by Rund Abdelfatah co-host and producer of NPR’s podcast Throughline. The podcast explores the history behind current events. Dahlia and Rund talk about Throughline’s episode Pirates of the Senate to take a closer look at the history behind the filibuster, and explore why so many of our ideas about the filibuster are just plain wrong. 


In our Slate Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by Mark Joseph Stern on the Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation, a case creating a new constitutional bar against malicious prosecution, and more shadow docket shenanigans. 


Podcast production by Sara Burningham and Cheyna Roth.

Consider This from NPR - Michelle Yeoh is a subversive superhero in ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’

Michelle Yeoh has been a star for decades. American audiences will know her as a warrior in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or an icy matriarch in Crazy Rich Asians.
