What parallels and lessons can we draw for today's political hysteria, spearheaded by Trump?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2021-01-082h 00The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast65 - The First Red Scare: Anti-Left Hysteria & How Progressives Became Known As CommunistsIn today's episode, we discuss the history and legacy of the first red scare, just after World War I. What were the forces that led to the anti-leftist hysteria and political persecution of people that were thought of as Communist sympathizers? And how did the first red scare lay the groundwork for future red-baiting of progressives? Can we learn any valuable lessons for today's toxic political environment?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2020-12-281h 21The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast64 - The Demise of American Political Culture? Pt. 2:Epistemic Estrangement & DerangementIn today's episode, we begin to take stock of the frightening state of American democracy, where it is good news that the sitting president probably won't steal an election. Why is the situation so dire? How did we get here? What do we do going forward, and can we come back from this? We focus on the epistemic estrangement of liberals and conservatives, and also the increasing epistemic derangement of conservatives in today's episode.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes 2020-12-041h 17The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast63 - The Demise of American Political Culture? Pt. 1: Polarization Hell, TrumpismIn today's episode, we begin to take stock of the frightening state of American democracy, where it is good news that the sitting president probably won't steal an election. Why is the situation so dire? How did we get here? What do we do going forward, and can we come back from this? Two of the main ingredients to the problem that we discuss in this episode are a background of extreme political polarization and an allegiance to Trump which supersedes allegiance to democratic institutions.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes 2020-11-271h 13The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast62 - The Supreme Court On Mail-in Ballot Deadlines in the 2020 Presidential ElectionIn this episode, we discuss the Supreme Court's decisions to allow or prohibit various extensions to the deadlines for mail-in ballots in the 2020 presidential election. In particular, we focus on Justice Kavanaugh's decision to prohibit a six-day extension on the receipt of mail-in ballots in Wisconsin, and Justice Kagan's dissenting opinion. What is a reasonable deadline for an election held amidst a pandemic? Should courts refrain from intervening so close to an election?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2020-11-061h 28The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast61 - 2020 Presidential Debate Nightmare: CatharsisIn this episode, we try to have a cathartic chat about the miserable nightmare that was the first 2020 presidential debate between President Trump and Joe Biden. Boy was it depressing.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2020-10-011h 03The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast60 - Hannah Arendt On Eichmann and the Banality of EvilIn this episode, we discuss Hannah Arendt's classic Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report On the Banality of Evil. We discuss the sometimes surprising psychological underpinnings of evil, and the way that evil flourishes in the absence of thought. We also discuss some of the lessons that can be drawn from Arendt's discussion of Eichmann.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2020-09-111h 14The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast59 - Mike Pompeo's Commission on Unalienable RightsIn today's episode, we discuss the recent report from Mike Pompeo's Commission on Unalienable Rights. We go through the document which, unfortunately, is largely self-congratulatory and intellectually vacuous, and discuss the relationship of the United States to the human rights project.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2020-08-211h 16The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast58 - Bostock vs. Clayton County: The Supreme Court On Sexual Orientation/Identity and Workplace Discrimination (pt. 2)In today's episode, we continue our discussion of the Bostock vs. Clayton County, Georgia Supreme Court case, which, in a surprise decision, extended Title VII of the Civil Rights act to protect gay, lesbian, and transgender people against employment discrimination. This time, we focus on some of the more confusing aspects of Alito's dissent.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2020-07-1743 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast57 - Bostock vs. Clayton County: The Supreme Court On Sexual Orientation/Identity and Workplace Discrimination (pt. 1)In today's episode, we begin our discussion of the Bostock vs. Clayton County, Georgia Supreme Court case, which, in a surprise decision, extended Title VII of the Civil Rights act to protect gay, lesbian, and transgender people against employment discrimination.

Can thinking about the ethics of war help us understand whether violence in protest can be justified? Does the preservation of one's dignity sometimes require people to engage in acts of destruction? We also discuss the differing approaches to social resistance of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, and discuss the ways in which some violence can actually make protest more effective.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2020-06-201h 22The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast55 - The Ethics of Protest Pt 1: Protest and the Public Perception of ProtestIn this episode, we begin our discussion of the ethics of protest, and of whether or not violence in protest can be justified. In the first part, we ask about the nature of protest itself, and discuss some of the sociology concerning the public's perception of protest, particularly as it relates the protests against police brutality against black Americans following the murder of George Floyd.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2020-06-1255 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast53 - Coronavirus pt. 3: Inequality in a PandemicIn today's episode, we discuss the ways in which economic inequality interacts makes a pandemic worse. As usual, the economically vulnerable are likely to suffer more, and in this case, the presence of economically vulnerable populations makes it harder to combat.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn 2020-04-1051 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast52 - Coronavirus pt. 2: The Delicate Balance of Health and the EconomyIn this episode, we continue our discussion of the coronavirus pandemic, focusing on the difficulties in weighing up the health and economic costs, and how this complicates figuring out what to do.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2020-04-0342 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast51 - Coronavirus Pt. 1: The Epistemology of a PandemicIn today's episode, we begin our discussion on the coronavirus pandemic, focusing specifically on the epistemic challenges that face us as we try to figure out what to do, and the epistemic blunders that helped get us where we are. We will be talking about the challenges of balancing health risks and economic risks, and then the ways that inequality and economic insecurity make things worse in the coming weeks.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2020-03-2751 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast50 - The Sanders ScareIn this episode, we address some of the common (sometimes outlandish) anti-Sanders narratives that have been ubiquitous in recent weeks, especially as it looked like, briefly, he might be the front runner. Would Bernie get anything done as president? Is he electable? Is he a socialist? That and more.Toby Napoletano | Michael Hughes2020-03-131h 09The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast49 - The Philosophy of Joe Biden (?)In this episode, we attempt a philosophical sketch of Joe Biden. In particular, we discuss how his general approach to politics and representation, which focuses on his individual qualities and experiences, rather than policy and underlying political principles, differs from progressives like Sanders and Warren. Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2020-02-041h 09The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast47-What Is The Right To Privacy?In this episode, we delve further into the philosophy of privacy, and try to pin down just what the right to privacy is, how much it covers, and what theories of privacy can tell us about online data collection.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2020-01-171h 21The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast46 - Badlands Christmas Special: The Ethics of ChristmasIn this episode, we (half-seriously) debate the ethics of Christmas. Is Christmas, on the whole, a good thing or a bad thing? Does the uptick in charitable giving outweigh the explosion in consumption? Does Christmas ruin gift-giving? Does the fostering of community justify Christmas ham? Is the celebration of Christmas an act of cultural appropriation? And who has the better ham story?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2019-12-201h 34Non Facciamone un Dramma - RadiostataleNon Facciamone un Dramma - RadiostataleS.2 Ep.9 - Il Teatro e il NataleUltima puntata del 2019 interamente dedicata al Natale. Alberto Domenighini e Giulia Rondinara vi offrono un viaggio alla riscoperta del Natale nel teatro e non solo, per tornare a sognare come da bambini. È "Natale in Casa Cupiello" del napoletano Eduardo De Filippo il testo che fa da sfondo all'episodio, accompagnato dalla magica voce di Michael Bublé. Pronti per una nuova stagione ricca di grandi puntate, noi vi auguriamo un felice Natale e un buon ascolto.2019-12-1947 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast44 - Why Should We Care About Privacy?In this episode, we begin our discussion of privacy, surveillance, and data collection. We argue that privacy is, in fact, deeply valuable, and that peoples' apathy towards their privacy is deeply misguided. Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2019-11-151h 25The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast43 - Property Rights As A Social ConstructIn this episode, we continue our discussion of property rights and investigate whether property rights can be justified as social rights. If they can, what standard do we appeal to in order to justify them? And to the extent that they are justified, just how strong should those rights be taken to be?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2019-10-251h 06The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast42 - Is There A Natural Right To Property?As Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren propose wealth taxes on the super rich, there are bound to be complaints that such policies would violate a sacred right to property. In this episode, we explore the philosophical foundations of property rights. Is there a good natural rights justification of a right to property, or does that approach fall short?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2019-10-111h 11The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast41 - The Right to Representation and the Global CitizenOk, so if someone has a right to representation, they should have a right to participation. But who should be represented? Democratic principles suggest that it is “the governed”. But who is that? And does that lead us to thinking that probably everyone in the world should have some say over U.S. policy?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2019-09-2056 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast40 - Making Sense of the Census: The Right to Count vs. the Right to VoteIn this episode, we ask: Is there any justification for denying the right to vote for non-citizen residents, assuming they have a right to political representation? After all, they are counted in the census for the purposes of apportioning political representatives, and yet, they are denied the right to vote. What gives?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2019-09-0655 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast39 - Is It Actually Obvious That We Should Deport Violent Criminal Immigrants?In this episode, we challenge the conventional wisdom on both the right and left that it is obvious that we should deport immigrants who are violent criminals. As it turns out, it's not so obvious, because of the serious consequences this has for the communities that the criminals are deported back into, and also because of the historical role that the U.S. has played in the creation of the epidemics of violence in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2019-08-231h 20The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast38 - What’s Wrong With Partisan Gerrymandering? Pt. 2: The Complications of ProportionalityIn this episode, we continue our discussion of partisan gerrymandering. We consider the pros and cons of more proportional systems, and ask to what degree proportionality should be sacrificed in order to ensure minority representation.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2019-08-0253 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast37 - What's Wrong With Partisan Gerrymandering? Pt. 1In this episode, we begin our discussion of partisan gerrymandering: what is it? How, exactly, does it happen, and why? What are the harms of it, and if it’s unfair, why is it unfair? Answering these questions forces us to grapple with the very goods that a representational democracy is meant to secure.Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2019-07-261h 04The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast36- Is the General Public Epistemically Screwed?We continue our discussion of expert misinformation, focusing on the roles of publishers, the media, and the general public in the process. Do researchers and publishers put too much focus on the novel and the surprising? Does the general public share any of the epistemic blame, or are they put in an impossible epistemic position?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2019-07-121h 35The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast34 - The Philosophy of Elizabeth Warren pt. 2: Crises of Democracy, Foreign PolicyWe continue our philosophical profile of 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren by shifting to her views on the state of (and crises of) American democracy, and on foreign policy. What can we do about epistemic bubbles, the “revolving door”, and lobbyist misinformation? And what does a foreign policy which puts middle and working class Americans first look like?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2019-06-2848 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast33 - The Philosophy of Elizabeth Warren pt. 1: Warren's Economic PhilosophyIn this episode, we begin our philosophical profile of 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren. We start with her views on domestic economic policy. What are her deep economic values that drive her ideas? How does she conceive of the American Dream? How does her reading of American history drive her belief that the American Dream is dead? And how can we get it back (assuming we want it)? Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2019-05-241h 05The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast31 - The Sad State of U.S. Happiness, Social Media, Big Data, and AddictionThis week, we continue our discussion of the 2019 edition of the World Happiness Report.

How happy was the world in 2019? Which places are more happier than others and why? In what ways does subjective well-being affect political engagement and support of right-wing populism? And can volunteering and donating money make us happier?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2019-04-261h 32The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast29 - On The Economic and Political Ramifications of a Democratic EconomyIn this episode, we conclude our discussion of workplace democracy. Are workplace democracies more productive than their capitalist counterparts? Can they compete in a capitalist system? Will they substantially shrink economic inequality? And how impactful will they be on our politics?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2019-04-1954 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast28 - Richard Wolff’s Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism” pt. 2In this episode, we get further into the details of Richard Wolff’s Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism. First, what is a workplace democracy, and what do they look like? What are the moral benefits that accrue to workers in a workplace democracy? What about local communities? And are some of the limits of workplace democracies when it comes to curing some of our major social ills?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2019-04-121h 08The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast26 - Richard Wolff’s "Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism” pt. 1In this episode, we begin discussing Richard Wolff’s Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism. Could it be that the deep problems of various kinds of capitalism stem from their undemocratic organization of the workplace? What is it to democratize the workplace? And what’s the connection between democratic practice in the economic sphere and in the political sphere?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2019-03-1550 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast24 - The Philosophy of Work pt. 3: Is Being Hardworking A Virtue or a Vice?This week, we wrap up our discussion on the philosophy of work. Would happiness be impossible for some people in a workless future? Does being hardworking make you deserving of resources? Is it a virtue, or is it maybe a vice? Is there a fine line between play and work?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2019-03-011h 03The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast23 - The Philosophy of Work pt. 2: Total-Work Minds, Total-Work LivesThis week, we talk about the ways in which work dominates our lives and our minds, and get into the details of our extremely vexed relationship with our work. Are the causes mostly internal, external, or both? How is the obsession with work potentially harmful? Is the ideal of work, ultimately, a good one to organize a society and value system around? Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2019-02-2257 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast22 - The Philosophy of Work pt. 1: On Survival, Enhancement, and PurposeOpponents of a basic income argue that a basic income would undermine the incentive to work. But is that a bad thing?  Work certainly has value, but does that mean it would be bad if we worked less? What about in a post-scarcity world of abundance? What about the idea that work gives people a sense of meaning and purpose? Would we be lost without it?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes, Hanna Gunn2019-02-1559 minThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast21 - Are Progressives Luddites? Pt. 2: The Threat of the AI Automation RevolutionThe threat of the widespread automation of the economy puts two strands of American ideology into direct conflict: the value of technological innovation and the insistence that one's living must be earned. Out of this conflict, people from all parts of the political spectrum are increasingly supportive of a universal basic income. But are the robots coming for our jobs? If so, can we find new ones? What will a mostly automated economy look like?Toby Napoletano, Michael Hughes2019-02-081h 12The Badlands Politics & Philosophy PodcastThe Badlands Politics & Philosophy Podcast20 - Is Kamala Harris Proposing A Universal Basic Income? Yeah Nah.It’s time to break down Kamala Harris’ middle class tax cut and the rest of her 2020 platform! Will the policy help middle and working class families? How much?
