Well worth the time
Deep dive into the college admissions scandal. Episode 2 has given me a lot to think about. Kevin Blackistone’s comments about college sports, who’s really benefiting, and at whose expense brings greater meaning to the notion of “white privilege.” How some can be offended by that... doesn’t surprise me (It’s an inconvenient truth, to some). The school administrator’s comments at the beginning episode 2 - about what parents deny their children by cheating to get them into elite schools - was also straight up wisdom. After listening to episode 3, I’m more engaged. Folks who are evaluating the pod after the first episode and saying it’s boring/monotonous maybe don’t understand story-telling arcs. Some stories need intros to give background. This isn’t Star Wars! (recall it starts off with a battle scene with massive space destroyers, purposely meant to pull you in). Take the time to listen to this! Also, learning of the existence of a website to help white collar criminals navigate their jail time - 😮

First episode was great until the second episode was about race. Sigh. Can’t was just have one story NOT about race?!

The long interview that insinuated that title IX athletes should be grateful to football and men’s basketball athletes for the existence of women’s collegiate sports was where they lost me. Nope.
