ICYMI - “Blue Dot Fever” Is A Symptom Of Bigger Problems
<p>On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Pitchfork news director Alex Suskind to talk about why musicians keep coming down with “blue dot fever.” Stars like Meghan Trainor and Post Malone are among many in recent months who have cancelled entire tours, seemingly due to a lack of ticket sales.

Or are we, the audience, to blame? </p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.</p><br><p><br><...
Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - The “Civility” Problem for Judges
<p>Over the last few years, there’s been an undeniable uptick in threats against American judges and their families: they’ve been doxxed, swatted, even killed. Many jurists are not all that comfortable having conversations around these threats.

This week on Amicus, that changes: Two judges sat down with us to talk openly about what often goes unsaid. Host Dahlia Lithwick speaks with sitting U.S. District Judge for the Western District of Washington Judge Robert S. Las...

ICYMI - Are You “Numbing Out”?
<p>On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Andrea González-Ramírez, a senior writer at The Cut whose recent piece explores why so many people have stopped reading the news. Instead, we’re “numbing out” after years of constant bad news on social media, to the point that even an assassination attempt on President Trump doesn’t earn a mention in our group chats. But how do we draw the line between necessary self care and privileged ignorance? </p><br><p>This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.</p><p > Hosted on Acast.
