My favourite podcasts this week

The Fifth Column - #390: Stupid People. Stupid Ideas, and Stupid Solutions | Douglas Murray

Hearing Douglas talking to the crew was pure joy.

Uncancelled History - #1: Robert E Lee

Jonathan Horn gave me an appreciation for the nuances of General Lee's character.

The Dishcast - Glenn Loury: Being a Minority Within a Minority

Glenn's awakening to the bullshit of religion was good to hear.

EconTalk - Tiffany Jenkins: Plunder, Museums, and Marbles

Tifanny made the most persuasive case for keeping the Elgan Marbles in the British Museum that I've heard.

Honestly - America's Broken Immigration System: An Honest Debate

Kmele hosted the debate between Alex Nowrasteh and Jessica Vaughan. Jessica's protectionism was unintellectual.

The Re-education - #61: New Year's Revolutions

Mariam Memarsadeghi argued for regime overthrow in Iran.

Intelligence Squared - Resetting the Conversation on Race | Coleman Hughes and Kenan Malik

Kenan argued against the focus on race in favour of prioritising class, framed through a Marxist perspective.

Uncancelled History - #2: Colonialism

Bruce Gilley espoused the virtues and benefits of colonialism adroitly.

Making Sense - #309: Vulnerability, Politics, and Moral Worth

Martha Nussbaum's arguments about animal morality are highly counterintuitive and exciting. Although, I can't think the same way.

The Daily - A Mother, a Daughter, a Deadly Journey

I read about the Darien Gap in Richard Davies' book, but hearing a first-hand account was emotionally wrenching.

The Fifth Column - #391: Debt Drama, DEI, and Deceased Rock "Legends"

Talking seriously about spending less during high inflation shouldn't be optional, let alone controversial.
