I co-host a weekly podcast called Citation Needed with journalist and political commentator Brad Polumbo. Each week, we dig into absurd, ideological, or just plain bad academic papers and media narratives, breaking them down with science, reason, and a proper amount of humor to keep us (and our viewers/listeners) sane. It’s separate from Reality’s Last Stand, but if you’re a reader here, you’ll feel right at home.
This week’s episode is for supporters only. Our two segments cover:
A new paper debunking the pseudoscience behind Caster Semenya’s eligibility in women’s sports.
A master’s thesis that insists fairy tales need to be queered to resist oppression and dismantle whiteness.
