This episode features a clip from Marc Maron’s latest HBO comedy special, From Bleak to Dark, where he outlines a strategy to win over Christians by rebranding abortion clinics as “angel factories”.

This episode features a clip from the podcast The War On Cars where guest, prominent sex columnist Dan Savage, talks about how terrible cars are, and how livable streets activists can win people over to our side. It was a fun interview, and while I’ve always enjoyed his media appearances, prior to this interview I never knew he was a kindred spirit with regard to this topic!

This episode features a clip from a terrific interview with Yuval Noah Harari on by Sean Illing on his Vox podcast The Grey Area. After Ezra Klein went to the NYT Vox slowly auditioned other people to fill the gap, renaming The Ezra Klein Show first to The Conversation with different hosts, of which Sean was by far and away the best, and they eventually gave him the feed and renamed it The Grey Area. I just never unsubscribed. Ezra is awesome, but I like the NYT incarnation of his show less than the old version, and I think The Grey Area is usually more interesting than EKS these days.
