Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em Podcast 106. Immoral Clarity
Sarah and Nancy dive into that mess of a Congressional hearing on college antisemitism. Did the three presidents — Claudine Gay from Harvard, Liz Magill from University of Pennsylvania, Sally Kornbluth from MIT — step up to the moment? They did not. But were the questions unfairly stacked? Did they make fair points about “context”? Is part of living in a diverse society the privilege — yes, privilege — of being offended? We answer these questions, as well as:
* Did the Swiss Family Robinson live in a tree?
* Is “It’s a Small World” the most annoying song ever?
* Are the ideological chickens coming home to roost on college campuses?
* Can Nancy successfully include two audio clips in one episode?
* Why are so many women leading Ivy League universities?
* What’s going on in the field of social work?
* Which cat made CAT HISTORY this week?
* What literary tragedy is Sarah currently obsessed with?
And much more, including darkness and life lessons in our hot boxes and a banger of an outro by some lady with a cat.
