Thumbnail for "S3 E2: Ain't No Amoeba ".
For millennia, Western culture (and most other cultures) declared that men and women were different sorts of humans—and, by the way, men were better. Is that claim not only wrong but straight-up backwards?
Thumbnail for "S3 E3: Skeleton War ".
A few hundred years ago, the great thinkers of the Enlightenment began to declare that “all men are created equal.” Some of them said that notion should include women, too. Why did those feminists—most of them men, by the way—lose the fight? How did the patriarchy survive the Enlightenment?

Thumbnail for "S3 E9: Be Like You".
Lewis Wallace, female-assigned at birth, wanted to transition in the direction of maleness—in some ways. He shifted his pronouns, had surgery, starting taking testosterone. None of that meant he wanted to embrace everything that our culture associates with “masculinity.”
Thumbnail for "S3 E10: The Juggernaut ".

Thumbnail for "S4 E1: Rich Man's Revolt".
In the American Revolution, the men who revolted were among the wealthiest and most comfortable people in the colonies. What kind of revolution was it, anyway? Was it about a desire to establish democracy—or something else?
Thumbnail for "S4 E2: "The Excess of Democracy"".
In the summer of 1787, fifty-five men got together in Philadelphia to write a new Constitution for the United States, replacing the new nation’s original blueprint, the Articles of Confederation. But why, exactly? What problems were the framers trying to solve? Was the Constitution designed to advance democracy, or to rein it in?
Thumbnail for "S4 E3: The Cotton Empire".
In the decades after America’s founding and the establishment of the Constitution, did the nation get better, more just, more democratic? Or did it double down on violent conquest and exploitation?  
Thumbnail for "S4 E4: The Second Revolution".
After the Civil War, a surprising coalition tried to remake the United States into a real multiracial democracy for the first time. Reconstruction, as the effort was called, brought dramatic change to America. For a while.

Thumbnail for "S4 E8: The Second Redemption".
The conservative, neoliberal counterrevolution in the face of expanding democracy in America: It started long before Donald Trump. Even before Ronald Reagan and his like-minded counterpart across the Atlantic, Margaret Thatcher.

“America” and “empire.” Do those words go together? If so, what kind of imperialism does the U.S. practice, and how has American empire changed over time? 
Thumbnail for "S4 E10: Schooled for Democracy".
In most American schools, children hear about democracy, but don’t get to practice it. What would a more engaged brand of civics education look like?

How well do the news media serve us as citizens, and what role does the notion of “objective,” or “neutral” journalism play in the failings of American democracy?
