Cop shows have come under scrutiny over the last few weeks with police brutality and the systemic problems of how we police our communities taking center stage in the unrest happening around the US. On this episode, we spend some times discussing our own experiences with cop shows, discuss why they are so popular, and imagine a world post police-procedural.

Chinese Republicans, a new play from Alex Lin
Coming to the Roundabout Theatre Company this winter, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin, directed by Chay Yew, following three high-powered businesswomen who meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.
