The Fifth Column - #373: Notes on White Privilege | Adam Davidson and Thomas Chatterton Williams Adam made a persuasive case for considering systemic racism in the aggregate. Kmele and Thomas better articulated the case against “white privilege” pronouncements than I could have conceived.

The Megyn Kelly Show - #392: Malcolm Gladwell | Gender Identity in Kids, Becoming a Dad, and Working From Home Malcolm didn’t shy away from acknowledging children’s gender identities are genetically determined or that the trans movement should back down from the argument about sports participation.

Making Sense - #296: Repairing Our Country The title shuttled this episode down the queue, and I feel foolish now. Jonah Goldberg was fascinating, and this wasn’t the “America is doomed” episode I expected from Sam.

Freakonomics Radio - #516: Nuclear Power Isn’t Perfect. Is It Good Enough I love Stephen Dubner; he’s understatedly brave enough to do a fair episode on a controversial topic. It made me inordinately happy to hear a mainstream positive look at nuclear energy.

Cautionary Tales - A Leap of Faith From the Eiffel Tower Scientists frequently used themselves as test subjects, even when it involved jumping to their death.

Honestly - The Great Canadian Mass Graves Hoax Terry Glavin spoke desparingly of historical Candian atrocities but refused to let the horrible reality be corrupted by a widespread lie.
