I moved about halfway across the country for work, but training got canceled this week do to weather. I'm currently living in a (very weird) airbnb in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do and would like some more podcasts to listen to. Currently I am a big fan of Trillbilly Worker's Party and I grudgingly listen to Chapo but a lot of their casual sexism is pretty off-putting.
Here's a bunch:
ALAB: Podcast about how all lawyers are bastards. They don't release new episodes very often but its always very entertaining and informative.
5-4 is a similar podcast but it focuses more on the supreme court.
West Wing Thing is always fun, but they sometimes bring on some more centrist types which can be kind of grating if you're not really in the mood for it.
True Anon is great, but a lot of their episodes can be really heavy.
Have you found any episodes of 5-4 or similar dismantling the hero-worship of Ruth Bader Ginsberg? I read about opposition to her nomination by feminist groups as an aside somewhere but haven't looked into it. I've been a bit irritated recently since my family sort of lionizes her and a more nuanced perspective would be nice.
I haven't listened to too many episodes of it, but it takes a more systemic look at how fucked the court is. It points out how the court's previous decisions paint a picture of a corrupt and ineffective institution.
