This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comSarah and Nancy dive into that mess of a Congressional hearing on college antisemitism. Did the three presidents — Claudine Gay from Harvard, Liz Magill from University of Pennsylvania, Sally Kornbluth from MIT — step up to the moment? They did not. But were the questions unfairly stacked? Did they make fair points about “context”? Is part of living in a diverse society the privilege — yes, privilege — of being offended? We answer these questions, as well as:* Did the Swiss Family Robinson live in a tree?* Is “It’s a Small World” the most annoying song ever?* Are the ideological chickens coming home to roost on college campuses?* Can Nancy successfully include two audio clips in one episode?* Why are so many women leading Ivy League universities?* What’s going on in the field of social work?* Which cat made CAT HISTORY this week?* What literary tragedy is Sarah currently obsessed with?And much more, including darkness and life lessons in our hot boxes and a banger of an outro by some lady with a cat.
