We alteady had 1 show on feminism and repruductive rights but will certainly need to revisit the many forms of discrimination other than race in future shows. I posted lots of interesting stuff on the Punkonomics facebook page. Will do my best to link them here but I have so much to do in my day job (the one I feed my fam with lol)

Tomorrow Jay Gordon will join us to talk about racism especially in movies and media but from an economic perspective. I guarantee we are going to go all out and probably say a lot of awful things about a lot of people so tune in };)
Tomorrow we discuss fairy tales with my entire family :)

We will shamelessly self promote my wife’s new radio show and podcast called: Secrets of the Fairies hosted by my wife Dr. Charlotte Trinquet who is a major academic specialist on fairy tales and how they reflect society and sometimes criticize it. It’s a fascinating topic with lots of anthropology, sociology, and, of course, economics.
Our daughter Thalia participates in the new program and if I will try to drag both my kids into the studio tomorrow.

Chris and Corey are coming. Hope to clarify the complexities and be entertaining and informative.
BTW we have an afirmative action policy for right-wingers and conservatives to come on the show. Are you one of those rare birds? Lol
