    On this season of Nice Try, we’ve asked why we bring certain goods into our homes. What kinds of utopia they promise, and what they deliver with the latest technology. But even the most faddish of gadgets might just improve a person's life, because we can fall in love with things.

    The Bidet
    Nov 18 2021
    The bathroom is our most private room in our private homes, devoted to our most private business. And the American bathroom has long contained a stable trinity of fixtures: the toilet, bath, and sink. But is there room for another? This week, the riddle of the Western bathroom and our modern attitudes toward cleanliness—all wrapped up in the mystery of why Americans cannot seem to fully embrace the bidet.

    Nov 11 2021
    Since industrialization, we have developed a convoluted set of cultural rules and etiquette around sleep—which often run counter to our actual, biological needs for sleep. Enter the mattress: a lightning rod for sleep performance, and a tool for modern self-improvement that's as mysterious and necessary as sleep itself. Learn more about your ad choices.

unrelenting brow beating

Avery- love your work... loved your stuff at 99% invis... love this style of well-researched podcast.. but jeez-loueez - I just can't listen anymore. Every cool little gem of information is accompanied by a bunch of editorializing - explaining why that's just another reason men/whites/Americans/libertarians are the worst and all they care about is oppressing others.. just makes me depressed.
Still gonna give 5 stars since I can tell this took a lot of work to put together-- but I guess it's just not for me.
