It's our first "actual" installment of Whiskey & IR Theory in Space! We discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation's 'gay rights' episode, "The Outcast," which Dan uses to introduce his students to different modes of "reading" the politics of (and in) science fiction. PTJ and Dan summarize the episode (can you spoil an 30+ year-old TV show?), discuss their own reactions to it, and then Dan talks about how his students respond to it differently now than they did a 10-15 years ago. The two hosts conclude by descending into rambling geekery as they discuss what they'll cover in the second installment of the series. The answer, by the way, is the two short stories that PTJ opens his class with: Ursula K. Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas," and N.K. Jemisin's "Those Who Stay and Fight."

This week saw the death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and immediate controversy about who will replace her on the United States' Supreme Court, as the Democrats invent reasons to stall the process. The panellists reflect on the career of a remarkable advocate and jurist, and examine how the Republican push in the Senate to confirm a Trump nomination as replacement will affect the election. If even Mitt Romney wants to do it, what's stopping them? (2:12-35:50). Likewise, Australia's High Court also has some looming vacancies, due to the 72-year age of ‘statutory senility' enforced on Justices of the High Court, with Justice Nettle soon to step down. Why aren't Australians more interested in the choice of replacement shortly to be made by the Morrison Government, and – in light of controversial decisions such as Love/Thoms - do we need more scrutiny of the process for nomination? (35:50-56:32). Culture picks this week include BGG cold war board game, Twilight Struggle; Elena Ferrante's novel, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay; and Taylor Sheridan and John Linson's TV series, Yellowstone season 3 (56:41-1:08:02).

Finally a cartoon that Jane can get behind! Feel the girl-power this week when we talk about She-Ra and the Princesses of Power!In this episode we chat about queer coding and the slow inclusion of canonically queer characters in animated media, and the benefits of a diverse, well-rounded ensemble. Jane also tries to work out whether the common cartoon simplifications (exposition and villain motivations) are bugs or features of the format.

Actress Vella Lovell (Crazy Ex- Girlfriend, The Big Sick) joins us this week to nerd out on books. Vella talks about reading as an actor, examining scripts for clues to her character's inner workings, and being a good scene partner. Vella also talks about trusting Oprah's Book Club recommendations and her love of self help books, especially as a spiritual guide for working actors. We also talk about why it doesn't matter how you read, it just matters that you pick up a book and get started. Check out all the books, plays, and movies Traci and Vella discuss right here in the show notes.

Vivian has been hanging about at home with 2 of 4 daughters and Alyson's has been ignoring everything except her current read, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante. But we're revisiting lots of projects you might already be familiar with. Alyson's blanket and Blurre shawl, and Vivian's Bubbly sweater and Korra hat. Thanks for tuning in!

Duon diskuterar härskarteknik hos journalister och huruvida en feminist får kritisera kvinnligt könskodade genrer. Ska deckar- och romancehuvudpersoner förbli endimenstionella? Är Claudio Gatti ett journalistproffs efter jakten på Ferrrante, eller bara en douchebag? Och varför fattar vi människor så otroligt korkade beslut? Öhmans mustiga val i veckan inkluderar köttsex i The Vegetarian av Han Kang och genusperpektiv i barnböcker av Helena Willis. Jihde har gått till sängs med ekonomiprofessorn Richard Thalers tegelsten Beslut och beteenden, samt Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, den tredje delen i neapelsviten av Elena Ferrante.

Toda la información acerda de HDO en http://www.tomajazz.com/web/?cat=13298. Portugal tiene una actividad jazzística más que notable, no estaría de más tomar ejemplo de sus festivales y ciclos, con un buen número de músicos y grupos que trabajan con el jazz en todas sus expresiones y que no dejan de publicar nuevas referencias. Dentro de lo que se podría calificar como corriente mainstream están, por ejemplo, Espécie de Trio (Hugo Raro –piano-, Filipe Teixeira –contrabajo-, António Torres Pinto -batería) con Por outras palabras (Carimbo Porta Jazz) en el que echan mano de música de David Bowie, The Beatles, The Doors o U2 –entre otros- para armar su nueva grabación; el guitarrista André Fernandes que en Dream Keeper (Edition Records, 2015) cuenta con la colaboración de Perico Sambeat –saxos y flauta-, Alexi Tuomarila –piano-, Demian Cabaud –contrabajo-, y Iago Fernandez –batería-; el contrabajista Cícero Lee junto al pianista Carlos Garcia y el baterista José Salgueiro –y otros músicos- en Those Who Stay; o la cantante y compositora Mariana Vergueiro que en Morning Rain (Carimbo Porta Jazz) está al frente de un quinteto que completan Pedro Neves –piano-, Bruno Macedo –guitarra-, Nuno Campos –contrabajo- y Nuno Oliveira –batería-. Cuatro propuestas que bien merecen una escucha atenta.
