In today's episode, we zoom out to talk philosophically about money and how it makes us feel. We talk about two articles from the Atlantic, called “What you're really worried about when you're worried about money,” and another article “who actually feels satisfied about money?” In these articles we explore peoples' relative perception of wealth, the correlation between money and happiness, and what we can do to ease our money related anxieties. Who can name the Friends episode our episode title is referencing? "What you're really worried about when you're worried about money," Arthur C. Brooks "Who actually feels satisfied about money?"

His article is called “The Case for the Four-Day Workweek.”

For the Atlantic, Joe Pinsker talks with Melissa Mazmanian about the unrealistic societal expectations on working parents. The Washington Post reports on how the pandemic is specifically affecting working moms. And a Wall Street Journal survey found that nearly two-thirds of fathers say they’ve become closer to their kids during this time, which is great for the whole family. Vox breaks down how the child-care crisis in the United States comes down to economics. The Atlantic explains the limited child-care options for parents who are essential workers. And Time Magazine warns that the pandemic has devastated the U.S. child-care industry and that these losses may be difficult to come back from for years to come. For NPR, Sesame Workshop’s Rosemarie Truglio offers some advice on parenting during the pandemic.

For our first parenting episode of season two, we welcome back previous show guest (and resident friend of the show), Mr - Dr - Ryan Dhalquist! As a father of three, Ryan shares his experiences as a family man and the decisions he made with his wife on the number of children they should have. We share stats on the average amount of children per household and debate the current trends for more of less kids per household.

Black Lives Matter. Say Her Name. Defend DACA. Love is Love. How can science help us understand these calls for social justice, and what does it tell us about the movements behind the hashtags? This week, sociologist and Science Slam champion Alice MillerMacPhee talks with Jocelyn and Bradley about her research on the dynamics of social movements, sharing insights into this unique moment in the Movement for Black Lives, immigrant rights movement, and LGBTQ+ rights movement, among others. Alice helps us understand what systemic racism means and how it works, as well as how intersecting inequalities marginalize some identities and experiences more than others. The friends also discuss the sometimes-contested status of the social sciences within the scientific community, and the value of social science research to illuminate the process of science itself. Finally, Alice reflects on how her scholarship and her activism draw inspiration from one another, as she and her merry band of “unruly sociologists” aim to put their knowledge into action.

In this episode, a tale of two cities. It turns out there’s a literal playbook for communications during an epidemic. Seattle followed it. New York didn’t. And, how incomplete information from leaders has created room for conspiracies to flourish — and what we can do about them.  1. Phil McCausland [@PhilMcCausland], NBC News reporter, on how, absent federal data and directives about coronavirus, civilians in the American heartland are being left largely in the dark about the severity of their circumstances. Listen. 2. Charles Duhigg [@cduhigg], host of How To! With Charles Duhigg, on how Seattle and NYC's communications strategies following their Covid-19 outbreaks differed so widely — and what we can learn from the results. Listen. 3. Daily Beast reporter Kelly Weill [@KELLYWEILL] on how Covid-19 disinformation may be leading some Americans to other dangerous conspiracy theories like QAnon. And, Atlantic staff writer Joe Pinsker [@jpinsk] on how to cautiously confront friends and family who may be in the early stages of a conspiracy theory kick. Listen.

New rituals and ethical conundrums of dating and socializing are beginning to reveal themselves. Staff writer Joe Pinsker joins to discuss.

In a functioning democracy, our state and federal leaders might use their platforms to educate Americans about how best to handle and consume food during Coronavirus. They might even dispel misinformation on the topic. But that is neither the Texas nor the America we live. In this Texas, in this America, it too often seems like we're all on our own. So today, Antoinette and Lucas consider those questions and others in a food-themed episode.After reminiscing about the first instructional food safety video of the COVID-19 era, Antoinette and Lucas dive into some of the ethical issues facing eaters fortunate enough to be able to afford food during the pandemic: Is it better to go to the grocery store or order delivery? How can we help local restaurants during this time? And how can we make sure those restaurants are treating their employees in ways that align with our own values?What actions can you take:1. Talk through these issues with everyone in your household. One place to start: Joe Pinsker's super-helpful Atlantic story, "Is It Ethically Okay To Get Food Delivered Right Now?"2. Consider shopping at smaller, locally-owned grocery stores instead of the big chains. Also, at a time when the President and his allies are engaging in significant anti-Asian demagoguery, now would be a great time to support an Asian-owned grocery. Want to try some smaller groceries but don't know where to start? For local listeners, Eater Austin has you covered with a list of over 30 options. Eater also has a running list of chain restaurants providing paid sick leave here.3. If you don't receive WIC benefits, avoid grocery items that are WIC-eligible if a different brand of the same item is also available. USA Today has an explainer here.This episode was recorded on Friday, April 17, 2020.

What city are you from? What neighborhood? Do you have children? We ask so many personal questions of one another… except, “how much money do you make?” Joe Pinsker, staff writer at The Atlantic, joins host Krys Boyd to talk about one of the last American taboos: asking about what’s in someone’s bank account. His article is “Why So Many Americans Don’t Talk About Money.”

The coronavirus outbreak may last for a year or two, but some elements of pre-pandemic life will likely be won back in the meantime. https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/03/coronavirus-social-distancing-over-back-to-normal/608752/ hereterribly behind on deployingRead: The crisis could last 18 months.

In 1868, Scottish sailor Jack Renton found himself the captive of a native people in the Solomon Islands, but through luck and skill he rose to become a respected warrior among them. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of Renton's life among the saltwater people and his return to the Western world. We'll also catch some more speeders and puzzle over a regrettable book. Intro: Thanks to one representative's 1904 demand, the U.S. House dining room serves a perpetual bean soup. A 1962 Times correspondent asserts that all thrushes quote Mozart.

In this episode, Neil, Natalia, and Niki discuss segregation academies, the death of an American missionary, and the declining market share of lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show:  Mississippi Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith, who is in a runoff contest to hold on to her Senate seat, sparked backlash when she made an offhand comment about a “public hanging” that many perceived as racist. The fact that Hyde-Smith attended a “segregation academy,” as reported by this Jackson Free Press article Natalia recommended, shed important light on how she developed such a worldview. Last week, American missionary John Allen Chau was killed when he traveled to the remote island of North Sentinel. Niki recommended this viral thread by Twitter user @RespectableLaw on the historical context for the hostility of the Sentinelese to outsiders. Neil discussed the case of evangelical Jim Elliot, who was killed on a mission in Ecuador. Natalia recommended Sadatru Sen’s book, Disciplining Punishment: Colonialism and Convict Society in the Andaman Islands and Jonathan Zimmerman’s Innocents Abroad: American Teachers in the American Century. Lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret is losing market share, and CMO Ed Razek hasn’t been shy about disdaining new upstarts like Third Love. Natalia cited this Slate article about the founding of Victoria’s Secret to cater to men’s shopping needs. Natalia also recommended Elizabeth Matelski’s Reducing Bodies: Mass Culture and the Female Figure in Postwar America and this episode of the Sexing History podcast about “sweater girls.”    In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia discussed the new movie Ralph Breaks the Internet. Neil recommended Natalie Escobar’s Atlantic article, “The Changing Ways Parents React to Their Kids Coming Out of the Closet.” Niki shared Joe Pinsker’s Atlantic article, “The 30-Year Reign of Lunchables.”

In this episode, we talk about the massacre of eleven Jews during Shabbat services at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. We discuss the right-wing rhetoric--starting with the president--that currently encourages intolerance, racism, anti-Semitism. We talk about how to discuss anti-Semitism with children without also scaring them unnecessarily. And we talk about why the argument that "this was about anti-religiosity" isn't just foolish but also immoral in that it seeks to erase Jews from the narrative. **_If you want to support the show financially--for as little as $1 per month--please visit our [Patreon Page](https://www.patreon.com/impolitecompanypodcast) to become a monthly patron.

In this episode, Niki, Neil, and Natalia discuss the history of binge drinking, why McCarthyism is back in the news, and the political power of women’s rage. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show:  Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination hearing has brought attention to the prevalence of binge drinking among young people. Natalia referenced Matt Damon’s Saturday Night Live portrayal of Brett Kavanaugh, and cited Sarah Hepola’s memoir of binge drinking, Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget. McCarthyism is back in the news as Mitch McConnell has accused Democrats of such tactics. Neil mentioned a Jonah Goldberg essay in the National Review that argued Joe McCarthy had been right. A series of books out this fall look at women’s rage: Rebecca Traister’s Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger; Soraya Chemaly’s Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women’s Anger; and, Brittney Cooper’s Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower. Natalia added both Phyllis Schlafly’s Power of the Positive Woman and Audre Lorde’s “The Uses of Anger” as two other very different works on the politics of women’s rage.   In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia talked about her upcoming involvement in the event, “Yeah She Did: Witches Get Stuff Done” taking place in New York City on October 24. Neil commented on Joe Pinsker’s Atlantic article, “Why Some Parents Turn Boys’ Names Into Girls’ Names.” Niki discussed the expiration of the Violence Against Women Act.
