    Episode 5: Harry Potter and the Problem with Problematic Faves
    Aug 11 2025

    What do you do when your favorite artist/writer/celebrity turns out to be… problematic? We dig into the messy gray areas of separating art from the artist, with J.K. Rowling, her role in the trans rights debate, and "Harry Potter" as our central case study. From social media outrage cycles to purity politics, activism to empathy, we explore who gets to decide what’s “problematic” – and how to hold onto the values that matter most.

  • Episode 4: What Citizenship Means to Us

    Episode 4: What Citizenship Means to Us
    Jul 28 2025

    What does it mean to really be a citizen? In this episode, we unpack the idea of citizenship – not just as a legal status, but as a shared responsibility, a way of thinking, and a form of belonging. From protesting injustice to pushing back on consumer-first solutions, we explore how citizenship can become a more inclusive, collective, and powerful force for change.
