  1. Find your fancy with Bryan and Erin on this week’s ATTITUDES! First, Bryan talks about getting the Moderna vaccine and the new reports coming out about how the tech used to produce it has led to a breakthrough in HIV treatments. Then, an update on one of the “LGBT-free” Polish cities and how that’s working out for them (spoiler: it isn’t). Later, Erin takes us through two recent decisions out of France: first, banning the hijab for minors, and second, charging a group of firefighters who raped a 13 year old girl with the lesser count of sexual assault.


  2. This week on Getting Curious, multidisciplinary visual artist Lanecia Rouse joins Jonathan to discuss how creative expression can help us make sense of our lives. Lanecia shares how she sources materials—like magazines, bricks, and strings—for her works; how she contends with questions of religion, grief, and joy in her art; and how she became a full-time artist.

     

    Lanecia is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Houston, TX and the owner and creator of LAR Art Studio. Her portfolio includes a range of abstract painting, photography, teaching, writing, speaking, and collaborative creative community engagement projects nationally and abroad.

  3. This week’s Getting Curious is going to the dogs—and the bats and the cows and the crocodiles! Philosopher and writer Eva Meijer joins Jonathan for a conversation about how non-human animals communicate, why humans have often underestimated other species’ capacity for language, and what we can do to build more sustainable, respectful relationships with other species.

     

    Among Eva’s books is Animal Languages, recently translated into English by Laura Watkinson and published by MIT University Press. Follow Eva on Facebook and Twitter @meijereva, and on her website www.evameijer.nl.

  5. Lil Nas X, Emily in Paris, Tina Turner and MORE on this week’s ATTITUDES! Bryan leads with an opinion piece from soccer star Megan Rapinoe taking on the anti-trans sports laws being passed around the country and pointing out the real threats to women’s sports that continue to be ignored. Then, Erin covers a case out of Minnesota in which it was ruled that a drunk rape victim was not ‘mentally incapacitated’ according to the law and why this is the norm across the country rather than the exception – plus how you can get involved at rainn.org.

Jon Gabrus, Mookie Blaiklock, Ali Ghandour, Hillary Matthews, Vic Michaelis, James Mannion, Dan Lippert, Lisa Gilroy, and Ronnie Adrian join Matt Besser for a special improv4humans recorded for SXSW 2021!

  9. This week on Getting Curious, Professor Beronda Montgomery joins Jonathan to discuss plant behavior, adaptation, and communication—plus, the question on everyone’s minds: will Jonathan’s lantana plants survive the winter?!

Then, Erin discusses the aftermath of the abduction and murder of Sarah Everard, the inexcusable response of the police to vigils held in her honor, and the big question of just WHO is responsible for the safety of women.


  12. Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal feels enigmatic about being Conan O’Brien’s friend.

  13. Hot takes from the Harry & Meghan interview with Oprah on this week’s ATTITUDES!

Then, Bryan discusses responses to a question posed by Kathy Griffin asking where the QAnon gays are at, including a case study in the GOP’s open arms towards hate with the bonkers tale of Brian Clowdus.


  14. This week on Getting Curious, we’re traveling back to Early China with Professor Jue Guo. She and Jonathan discuss dynasties, empires, early instances of written language, and so much more. And because curiosity can’t always be contained to 40 minutes—okay, more like an hour and fifteen minutes—we’re planning a follow-up episode with Professor Guo. Make sure to jot down your questions about Early China as you listen, and keep an eye out on our social media accounts for a chance to have them featured in part two!
