Episode 15: Kitchen Sink: One Year of the Pod, Mailbag, and Two Evil Dougs

It’s our one-year anniversary of ranting into microphones, and in this episode, we reflect on the pod and share what we’re dreaming of for year two. While we’re never aiming for performative anger, we’re also thinking about how letting the high emotions of this unique time in history play out has been cathartic and important. Next we dig into messages from listeners and some stellar episode suggestions you’ll be seeing in a podcast feed near you very soon — plus one amazing merch idea. We round out this episode with a Corrections Corner from the religions episode (it’s easy to get evil Dougs mixed up), and a good news update from Montana’s continued effort to combat the negative effects of Citizens United. Segments & Timestamps:0:00 - Welcome & One-Year Anniversary1:08 - Reflecting on Year One5:00 - Principled Anger vs. Performative Outrage9:30 - Tribalism & Motivated Reasoning16:30 - Goals for Year Two23:30 - Mailbag37:40 - Corrections Corner: Two Evil Dougs!43:45 - Good News Corner: The Montana Plan52:33 - Closing & CreditsMentioned:2 Airports In America With Strict Anti-Price Gouging Rules For Food Vendors‘Montana Plan’ to prohibit corporate spending in politics green lit for signature gatheringNew polling illuminates how the Supreme Court got Citizens United wrong and shows bipartisan momentum for money-in-politics reforms, including proposed Montana ballot measureEpisode 12: The One Where They Talk ReligionConnect With Us:Produced and Engineered by ⁠Ken Wilson⁠ | Original Music by Ken Wilson, Trevor Adams, and ⁠Robert Lanterman⁠Website: ⁠thenuancehour.com⁠Instagram: ⁠@thenuancehour⁠Email: [email protected]
