@ihatejamesdobson.bsky.social always good to get a new episode! You need a “beware: American politics” content warning on this one though …

A professional company put it on here last year, and it was most excellent.

Did you know that Fun Home is also a musical? Well worth catching if it’s on in your area.

The reference was there for me because I am Very Much Older than you two 😊

I may have got the timeline wrong, but was JDobs referencing this movie with the title?

I’m no policy wonk, but I do get unreasonably excited about participating in the democratic process.

Brooke’s Books made me think of this old railway station (in Aotearoa).
A motorbike is parked in front of an old railway station. The station has a sign with the name “Middlemarch”, and an old railway carriage at the platform.

I’m glad you could be with your grandma when she passed ❤️ Take time for yourself and your family; the next episode is utterly unimportant in comparison. Aroha nui.

I do enjoy the critique-conservative-evangelicals focus, but really I’m here for Brooke’s Books (that part of the show where…).

@fryrsquared.bsky.social any suggestion where I could get hold of “Making Sense of Cancer”? Dead keen to watch, but not in the UK, and even with a VPN, iPlayer doesn’t seem to have it.

I’m not here to argue with you, Simon, just pointing out that the young’uns have a valid perspective. Better to try to understand than to criticise.

… does that not seem a pretty reasonable prediction? We can’t maintain non-means-tested Super forever, and politicians will never take money off their main supporters.

Not seen (by radar) on the next orbit. I guess it’s probably down by now.

As someone who worked in prisons (not in the USA, thank the gods) for several years, I mostly found it easier to provide good care if I didn’t know the details of the person’s crimes. (Although, once you’ve been inside for a while, you get to “read” people quite well, and can infer their history.)

fouloleron @cruelandunusualgeography.com · 06/05/2025
This episode raises the question: what is prison for? Is it to keep dangerous people away from us good innocent folk? To rehabilitate? To punish? To torture?

That was interesting to listen to, although I’m disappointed at the tone of the emails you read. I thought Ear Hustle listeners might be more grounded.

@aproblemsquared.bsky.social I’m a bit late to the party, but the discussion of Neils in Ep093 reminded me of the Nac Mac Feegle (Wee Mad Arthur, Awfully Wee Billy Bigchin, No'-As-Big-As-Medium-Sized-Jock-But-Bigger-than-Wee-Jock Jock, etc.).

“Children of Time” is a great book! If you’re waiting for the fairies and dragons to appear you’ll be •super• disappointed, but the spiders are very interesting.

I did enjoy how “new directions” sounds an awful lot like another phrase that starts “nude…”.
