60 Songs That Explain the '90s - “My Name Is”—Eminem

Rob reflects on the times when he was a child in the car with his mother and inappropriate songs played on the radio, as well as his times as a parent driving his kids and explicit songs played in the car. This all leads to a deep dive on the ever-so-controversial rap icon, Eminem, and what his hit “My Name Is” meant to the '90s. Later, Rob’s editor and the host of ‘The Wedding Scammer,’ Justin Sayles, joins the podcast to discuss growing up as a white rapper around the time of Eminem’s rise to stardom.

Amarica's Constitution - A Tale of Two Jordans

The House is at it again, and there is no Speaker in the chair as of this recording.  So many implications - for Presidential succession, for democratic governance, for legislative stalemate.  Meanwhile violence escalates in the Middle East.  How are these connected?  We explore all these, and Akhil has some fascinating originalist analyses - of history you surely didn’t know; of structural reasons that the Speaker can’t be in the line of succession; and a new textual analysis.  Meanwhile - why can’t the House act?  Has this happened before?  (Hint: yes)  NOTE: CLE Credit Available for this episode by going to podcast.njsba.com after listening.

Land of the Giants - The Twitter Fantasy

A year ago, in what was essentially the world’s most expensive impulse purchase, Elon Musk bought Twitter. That made him Twitter’s most important user. But he’s certainly not the only one to fall for its spell - a spell that promises attention, connection, and power. This season will explore why Twitter’s cultural and political influence far exceeds its size, and how its biggest users shaped it, for better and worse.

Hosted by Vox senior correspondent Peter Kafka. Episodes drop every Wednesday beginning October 25th.
