We have three segments this episode:
- We talk with Shannon Golden about Kony 2012. Shannon provides some insight into the situation in Uganda while Chris cynically revels in the implosion of Invisible Children.
- We talk about the Mike Daisey/This American Life fiasco. Arturo defends liars, as usual, while I, er, Jon, stands strong as a defender of truth.
- The whacky world of Young Adult literature.
Links from the discussion:
- Amy Finnegan and Shannon Golden on Office Hours
- Visible Children
- This American Life: Retraction
- FLA Foxconn report
