This week, the show features a long conversation between Chenjerai and his good friend Ronald Young Jr. Ronald is the creator and host of Weight For It, an award-winning narrative podcast that explores the ways we think about our bodies. They talk about the latest season of the show, which gets deep into questions of identity, safety, and what health even means. And they also have a long discussion about how people argue - the consequences of debate as sport, how to build better arguments, and maybe how to come out the other side of these situations feeling okay. Also, Chenjerai gives an update on the Contract Faculty negotiations at NYU, attends a special screening of an episode of Ms. Rachel’s show (and meets the legend herself!), and NPR’s Gene Demby enthusiastically shares an ice cream recipe. ☎️ Call our UNRULY HOTLINE: Have something you want to ask Chenjerai?
