From 2002, Eric Klinenberg, author of "Heat Wave: a Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago." The book examines the devastating heat wave in the summer of 1995 in which Chicago saw temperatures as high as 106 degrees over the course of an entire week. It is estimated that 700 people died due to the oppressively hot weather. Klinenberg wanted to understand why the death rate was so high in certain neighborhoods and in certain sectors of the population.
Christian Finnegan is one of my favorite comics and always a blast to talk to. He's got an incredible comedy special out on Amazon Prime called “Show Your Work.” We cover everything here from his humble beginnings in comedy, crafting new material, the trials and tribulations of social media, deconstructing the world around you, his VH1 appearances, navigating show business, QED, the state of the world, hanging with the outcasts growing up, and more! Enjoy!
Last week's record-breaking heat was deadly for three women at the James Sneider Apartments, a living facility for seniors and people with disabilities in Rogers Park. The women were found unresponsive Saturday after multiple heat complaints from residents. Reset discusses what can be done to prevent this from happening again, and reflects on lessons from Chicago's 1995 heat wave. GUESTS: Ald. Maria Hadden, 49th Ward Eric Klinenberg, sociologist at New York University; author of Heat Wave: a Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago Host: Sasha-Ann Simons Producer: Char Daston
After Jesse gets things off to a fantastic start with an uplifting story about dog feces, the hosts finally relent and discuss the Joe Biden/Tara Reade situation. Does this case reveal the limits of "believe women"? Of trying to pretend long-ago accusations can be hashed out apolitically? Is anyone acting in good faith here? Then the hosts move on to Candace Owens and her censored-by-Twitter tweet calling for her Michigan followers to defy the government. What is the proper role for a private but exceptionally inlfuential institution like Twitter in a situation like this? The episode finishes with another story from Jesse, this one about his extremely unpleasant online run-in with Owens in 2016.

Today's EpisodeThere's a new trend going on in tech. It has only recently started in the last 2 years. The need to police speech. Social Autopsy is one of those bad platforms. They claim it's to keep people “safe,” and making sure people are held accountable for their actions. Except, you can report people anonymously… For business, having your employees on this can be bad. It can hurt your business and maybe keep some bad press. The only solution is to encourage people to have dummy accounts to share their real thoughts without a threat of losing their jobs. In America, we have the first amendment, but we also have people wanting to curb speech. Anything that can be deemed, “hateful,” is silenced. The problem is modern society is so thinned skin. We crave controversy too. It speaks to our lives. We are bored, we hate our lives and try to fill it with the next “outrage.” Unfortunately, businesses can be caught in the middle. Advertising for a popular show that an actor or reality star says something unpopular. Your business could get the public's ire. On the bright side, there's more Marketing Blend.
