This episode we start with a discussion of violent protests prompted by a question from a listener (Which is great! Send more!). We then talk about Twitter, hashtags, Gmail, and passwords before moving on to a discussion about education and universal preschool.

After a lengthy break, we’re back! Racism in hockey, Work It, and The Trap are among our topics this episode. Enjoy!
This episode, we fail to talk about Robocop, then we have a discussion about Getting Wasted, and then chat a bit about current political events.
Because Arturo is obsessed with Glenn Beck, conversation begins there, but quickly moves to government shutdowns, the way economists approach social problems, and we return to last episode’s discussion about education.

Episode number two, name number two!
This week’s show has two segments. First, we look at the fancy new iPad. We discuss its potential impact on education and publishing, as well as the political nature of the polarazing reactions the iPad has evoked. Second, Jesse shares his theory on how college basketball tournaments and rankings can help us understand white privilege.
In future episodes, we’d love to have guests sit in on the discussion! If this sounds like fun and you want to join in some time — or if you just want to give us feedback about how we’re doing — send us an email at podcast@contexts.org.
