  • News, Narratives, and Truths
    Feb 10 2022

    Post-truth, fake news, multiple narratives. How are we to sort out and sift through the multitude of images and words thrown our way – by friends, interested parties, and algorithms? Building upon Rabbit Hole episode ‘Where We Go One,’ Context Guest Rabba Sara Hurwitz of Maharat and Justin Hecht, Jungian psychoanalyst, help host Leon Wiener Dow figure out if this new world condemns us to reside in an echo chamber.

  • A Confessional Invitation
    Feb 2 2022

    What would it mean for a woman to sing authentically a song composed by a man about his experience as a man (who dresses in black)? That’s the kind of question we didn’t ask in S2 E5, “Fake It Till You Feel It.” Listen in as Leon extends a confessional invitation that may pave the way for a bonus episode.

  • Anonymity and Speaking the Truth
    Jan 26 2022

    “Off the record” talk is often the most forthright, and anonymous surveys or peer-reviews allow us to speak honestly. But what about accountability? What do we do when our hidden identity allows us to spew vile? Which is the true me? Reply All’s The Writing on the Wall allows Context guest Rabbi Jay Henry Moses and Hypertext guest journalist Dahlia Lithwick to help host Leon Wiener Dow explore the complicated matrix of hiding behind what we say.
