Code Switch: The R Word in the Age of Trump – This short episode is especially worthy both for the discussion of NPRs standards and practices and how they have enforced a double standard in the past, and for the very clear explanation of why journalists need to call racist things racist.

Who Shot Ya?: Fashion in Film and Phantom Thread – I really love Who Shot Ya when it’s on, and it’s ON for this episode. I love how much they got Phantom Thread. The discussion of it is somewhat spoilery so don’t listen if you’d rather go into this movie completely blind, but if you’ve watched it or don’t mind some mild spoilers, give it a listen.
