About this listen

We're diving deep into some unexpected connections this week. What do a 425-year-old Shakespeare tragedy and James Gunn's new Superman movie have in common? More than you might think—especially regarding fathers, sons, and the weight of living up to impossible expectations.

We'll also mark the 100th anniversary of the Scopes trial verdict and explore how little (and how much) has changed since then. Spoiler alert: the fundamentalists now have their own political party and unlimited funding.

Plus, we're talking about what it means to be a good father in public life—from Obama to Biden to... well, let's just say the contrast is stark. And yes, we're absolutely here for Hunter Biden's recent truth-telling tour, much to the horror of certain political consultants who think Democrats should be nicer to anti-immigrant bigots.

Oh, and wait until you hear what Arkansas is doing with taxpayer money while ranking 43rd in education. It's not pretty.

Fair warning: this one gets into some heavy territory about character, legacy, and what happens when revenge meets redemption. But don't worry—Superman has a dog, and that makes everything better.
