  • Genocide Scholar: I Know It When I See It, with Omer Bartov
    Sep 10 2025

    The Palestinian people are being killed en masse, they are being starved, and many are dying of preventable disease. More and more people are beginning to understand that it’s Israel’s intention to eliminate the entire Palestinian population of Gaza. Yet as untold thousands are dying, there are still people who insist that this is not “genocide” despite every bit of evidence to the contrary. This week, Adam speaks with Omer Bartov, a professor of holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University, about the genocide in Gaza, why so many people are reticent to label it as such, and how the world is looking at this moment.

  • Why Strength Training Kicks Dieting’s Ass with Casey Johnston
    Sep 3 2025

    Being in “good shape” doesn’t just mean changing your diet in pursuit of unrealistic standards of thinness; it means challenging your body to be more capable today than it was yesterday. In recent years, weight lifting has been catching on as a primary exercise focus for both men and women who are trying to live healthier lifestyles. This week, Adam sits with Casey Johnston, author of A Physical Education: How I Escaped Diet Culture and Gained the Power of Lifting, to talk about the gains that can be made by breaking out of diet culture and lifting instead.

  • How The Naked Gun Saved Comedy
    Aug 27 2025

    The world is getting less funny. Not just out there in the geopolitical hellscape of every day life, but at the movie theater as well. While comedy films once dominated the box office, in recent years there’s been a sharp drop-off in theatrical comedies. The communal experience of sitting in a room with people and sharing one of the most fundamental human emotions has quietly evaporated, and been replaced by vague joke-shaped gestures at humor in your average Marvel movie. That all might be about to change thanks to the whopping success of the new Naked Gun movie. The brilliantly-stupid, unabashed comedy is a canary in the coal mine, proving that audiences still want to get together and laugh in a dark room together. This week, Adam talks with The Naked Gun writers, Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, about movies, comedy, and comedy movies.
