We’re in the dog days of the HOT PODCAST SUMMER, back after a week off spent relaxing at the beach and interacting with our public. We’re on about bad audiobook productions, Bari Weiss trying to rehabilitate infamous dog-walker Amy Cooper, RACIAL SLURS being hurled at major leaguers in the middle of baseball games, and Simone Biles at the Olympics. A THRILL A MINUTE! Whatever. Listen! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!

Here’s Bari Weiss’ column about the Cooper v. Cooper situation. Embedded there you will find the podcast episode.

An investigation has revealed that what was previously believed to be a racism was not in fact a racism. Unfortunately, all the reporting about the instance of a racism has resulted in many people believing that a racism happened, and feeling bad about a racism, this non-racism, and other actual racisms.
