Episode 85: Election Talk to Take Your Mind off the Election

It’s election night 2020 in the US, and our video from 4 years ago about the language of politics is relevant once again.

It may not be a complete break from political coverage, but at least it’s mostly about the distant past, not the uncertain future!Ballot Box CocktailMashed Radish blog post on CandidateMashed Radish blog post on PollAnatoly Liberman on Booth“Sublime” video“Sublime” podcastTranscript of this episodeThis episode on YouTubeOur Patreon pageThis podcast is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International LicenseThe Endless Knot RSS
