Ep 126Benjamin Boyce and the madness at Evergreen
Michael sits down with Benjamin Boyce to discuss the 2017 Evergreen University fiasco that led to the firing of Bret Weinstein. They talk progressive racism; the nature of power; the impact of the breakdown of stable, normative morality; and what Evergreen can tell us about the future of America.
Ep 125The GAA doesn't see colour, it only sees meat
The sealing of the forbidden zones of the country is complete; the nature of racism; Pakistanis with hurls; and how there's nothing more Irish than the pure, perfect hatred for a village 3 miles away.

Ep 122The Power and the Glory
Ireland's favourite race expert has some thoughts; Israel Folau refuses to bend the knee; the defenders of Ireland's CCT rate seem to be losing their nerve; and why Charlie Haughey was the best leader this country ever had.
Ep 121Glenn Loury
Michael talks to Professor Glenn Loury, the first African-American to become a tenured Professor of Economics at Harvard University, of Brown University. They talk about the idea that America is an institutionally racist country; race and policing in America; and racial identities.
