Well, for better for for worse, Stranger Things has ended. Join us as we delve into the faults of its ending and how they tie in to bigger societal issues, such as:Capitalism’s war on authentic art, and how this has led to the general acceptance of slop mediaCasual misogyny, and how viewing women and girls as objects rather than complex individuals leads to their dehumanization by boys and menLiberal homophobia, and how performative activism does not equal good representationHow our society allows people with certain levels of privilege to easily avoid responsibility for their actions-----------------------If you are feeling suicidal, call 988Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration:https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/suicidal-behavior/resourcesThe Trevor Project 24/7 suicide prevention and crisis support:https://www.thetrevorproject.org/National Domestic Violence Hotline (USA):https://www.thehotline.org/-------------------------Follow us for more:Instagram: @whohastimeforthispodcastYouTube: @whohastimeforthispodcast-------------------------Sources:https://youtu.be/bqVlyU5X9bU?si=wpj7GnMWgWt0slr6Stranger Things ruined its legacy: everything everywherehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dBq_FWPiRo&list=LL&index=12Explaining why everyone hates stranger things now if you’re employed and wanna know the tea: Amanda Todhunterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNXzMZfTUqk&t=4625sStranger Things Finale: Rewatch Room Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIA1jeOyZKYStranger Things 5 Was A Complete Mess: loser sits by herselfhttps://www.tumblr.com/bylerse10/804577247767969792/hi-duffers-i-have-some-questions-for-you?source=shareList of 130 plot holes after the finale: bylerse10https://writtenbyellis.substack.com/p/how-capitalism-ruined-the-artsHow Capitalism Ruined the Arts: Ellis J.

We're back for the second season of the Who Has Time For This? Podcast! In this episode, we unpack how American media became an attention economy built on clicks, conflict, and constant stimulation – and how that shift changed not just journalism, but us. Why you’re being fed political content on social media even when you’re not looking for it. Why outrage travels faster than context. Why livestreaming the Epstein files isn’t the same thing as investigative reporting the Epstein files.And how the far left and far right can end up sounding eerily similar online: not because they agree, but because the algorithm rewards the same emotional extremes.Our attention is the product. Our outrage is the fuel. And our politics are downstream of both.If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the news but unable to look away, this episode helps explain why.—SOURCES: The Sirens’ Call by Chris Hayes https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-sirens-call-how-attention-became-the-world-s-most-endangered-resource-chris-hayes/4df976eea7b35f6a8?ean=9780593653111&next=tCharlie Kirk’s letter to Benjamin Netanyahu https://x.com/RealSaavedra/status/1972763775377064136Antisemitism/No-Win Dynamic https://www.pantsuitpoliticsshow.com/p/the-no-win-dynamic-understandinghttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/12/american-anti-semitism-youth/685261/How young Americans get their news https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2025/12/03/young-adults-and-the-future-of-news/Wise words from Terry Moran https://terrymoran.substack.com/p/reality-bitesMax Read’s Platform Temperance https://substack.com/home/post/p-176764384On Leftists Thread (@heyjohnnathan)https://www.threads.com/@heyjohnnathan/post/DU0njCWkfQG?xmt=AQF0Zqc63JEoSWvdvmGj78KTTvZ4N53XsqPq6LSRkSCVXAOn Politicians vs Freedom Fighters Thread (@ahbeeolah) https://www.threads.com/@ahbeeolah/post/DU8oGgrDWfI?xmt=AQF0Zqc63JEoSWvdvmGj78KTTvZ4N53XsqPq6LSRkSCVXA

What if “It’s a Wonderful Life” is actually a guide for surviving the political and cultural chaos of life right now? In this episode, we use “the George Bailey rubric” as a framework for decision-making: choosing long-term good over short-term comfort, community over convenience, and responsibility over vibes. From voting and climate change to canceled plans and paywalls, we ask: what does everyday heroism look like in 2025? Hint: It’s not a single one of the Avengers. SOURCES: Eldest Daughter: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/the-deal-with-eldest-daughter-syndromehttps://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2023/11/first-born-children-eldest-daughter-family-dynamics/675986/Male Loneliness Epidemic https://harpers.org/archive/2025/11/the-goon-squad-daniel-kolitz-porn-masturbation-loneliness/https://www.profgalloway.com/boys-to-men/https://lizplank.substack.com/p/male-loneliness-isnt-a-crisisitshttps://www.derekthompson.org/p/the-monks-in-the-casinoGeorge Bailey / “It’s a Wonderful Life”: https://christandpopculture.com/george-bailey-at-the-bridge-the-costly-virtue-of-its-a-wonderful-life/https://ashbrook.org/viewpoint/respub-2013-griffith/https://www.meawisdom.com/the-george-bailey-effect/God Rest Ye Merry Billionaires https://www.instagram.com/p/DDNzyY3SyJq/

What if the way out of our polarized era isn’t through more politics, but more hobbies? In a time when everything feels divided, hobbies might just be the thing that brings us back together (or at least a little more tolerant of our different backgrounds, perspectives, and algorithms). We explore how shared passions – whether it’s baking or birdwatching – can bridge political divides, build real community, and remind us what joy feels like. Plus: tips for finding or rediscovering the hobbies that make you feel the most like yourself. The “Who Has Time For This?” podcast is hosted and produced by Caitlin Bagley and Katie Kelly. ***FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE: Bowling AloneRobert D.

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.Follow Who Has Time for This? on social media for more: Instagram: @whohastimeforthispodast YouTube: @whohastimeforthispodcastVox: Why So Much Obama-Era Culture Feels Cringe Right Now Constance Grady, Vox Dec. 27, 2021 https://www.vox.com/22641501/hamilton-parks-rec-harry-potter-cringe-obama-era-pop-cultureYour Fave is Problematic Tumblrhttps://yourfaveisproblematic.tumblr.com/listMy Year of Grief and Cancellation Liat Kaplan, New York Times Feb. 25, 2021 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/25/style/your-fave-is-problematic-tumblr.htmlOwl Post Edition: J.K.

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.Featured in this episode: Citizenship Definition for Immigrants: https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/learn-about-citizenship/citizenship-and-naturalizationThe Preamble of the Constitution: https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/preambleReimagining Citizenship: https://www.pantsuitpoliticsshow.com/Ben Sheehan, (Instagram),  Civics Made Easy Sharon McMahon (SharonSaysSo IG, The Preamble Substack) Dr. Jessica Knurck (IG, Substack) Money with Katie: The Truth about “Government Waste,” Privatizing Public Goods, & Turning Citizens into Customers - https://moneywithkatie.com/privatizationDonald Cohen’s “The Privatization of Everything”Blueland Cleaning Products Pantsuit Politics Art Therapy Metal Skull T-Shirt

Welcome to the Who Has Time For This? Podcast! In our first episode, Caitlin and Katie take on the lost art of nuance. From the news cycle to political debates to heated social media discourse, we’re losing the ability to sit and think in the gray areas. Why is everything so black and white these days – and what toll is this dynamic taking on our conversations (and our sanity)? The two best friends unpack the rise of outrage bait, the fall of thoughtful dialogue, and share some practical ways to bring complexity, compassion, and clarity back to how we consume and communicate information. Follow Who Has Time for This? on social media for more: Instagram: @whohastimeforthispodast YouTube: @whohastimeforthispodcast SOURCES: The Real Story of the US Economy - Money with Katie Podcast: https://moneywithkatie.com/real-story-economyNuance is Out, It Needs to Come Back - Paul Oestreicher: https://paul-oestreicher.medium.com/nuance-is-out-it-needs-to-come-back-82e03d58c093Biden’s Oil Boom: How fossil fuels thrived despite the White House's climate policies - Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/graphics/USA-BIDEN/OIL/lgpdngrgkpo/Crime Trends in U.S. Cities: Year-End 2024 Update - Council on Criminal Justice: https://counciloncj.org/crime-trends-in-u-s-cities-year-end-2024-update/Jessica Yellin - News Not Noise: https://newsnotnoisejessicayellin.substack.com/News Literacy Project: https://newslit.org/What Happened to Nuance in Political Debates?
