The Things We KnowWives; Trad, Sad or Rad?In this episode, Kari and Lisa attempt to understand the rise of the “tradwife” trend—women embracing ultra-traditional gender roles in the name of choice, femininity, and fulfillment. They unpack how the seemingly harmless aesthetic of domestic bliss on social media can carry deeper political and cultural implications. Referencing articles from The New Yorker, Ms. Magazine, Mother Jones, and more, they explore how the tradwife movement intersects with conservative ideology, online influence, and what critics assume is the loss of women’s agency. It’s a nuanced and necessary conversation about freedom, feminism, and the cost of romanticizing the past....2025-04-151h 15

Or the Instagram account dedicated to calling out parties and gatherings. Or the tweets about how people who dine indoors are selfish morons.

The Mother Jones PodcastThe Only State Lawmaker Who Lives on the BorderThere are 7,383 state legislators in the United States, and many of them, it seems, want to do something about the border. But there’s only one state lawmaker who actually lives there. Poncho Nevarez can’t just see Mexico from his house; when the breeze is right, he can hit a golf ball there.

Young Farmers PodcastHow did so many pigs end up in a floodplain?Hurricane Florence has been a disaster on many levels, leaving economic, social, and environmental destruction in its path across the Carolinas.
