Episode #3×30: Not Silent

  • “In the end, we will not remember the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” -Martin Luther King Jr. imparted wisdom that still speaks to us today. So let’s not stay silent. 
  • Charlottesville, Virginia was a repugnant display of violent racism. We try to break down what happened, why, and what the real takeaways should be. 
  • THERE IS NO “ALL SIDES” HERE. THERE’S THE NAZI SIDE AND THEN THERE’S THE SIDE FIGHTING THEM. FULL STOP. ZERO ROOM FOR NUANCE. GTFO.
  • We want to hear from people of color and Jewish listeners, so we place some calls and get some insightful remarks. 
  • A new round of The Confessional lightens the mood slightly, and Andrew promises to turn over a new leaf. 
And in this week’s After Dark:
  • David from London writes in with his insight into last week’s conversation about women in the tech industry. There’s sexism, for sure, but it’s often misplaced. 
  • Associate Producer’s Choice asks us to conjure Harry Potter-themed pregnancy announcement ideas. 
  • Announcing: a new service that lets you go to the movies an unlimited number of times, for just $10 a month. Cue: AMC having a meltdown.
