Some Kind Of Heaven

MTracey podcast ·

2021/05/19

Bit of a break from regular programming here — sorry if you were expecting another scintillating essay on Israel/Palestine. But for the first time, watching a movie motivated me to track down the director and interview him about it, in hopes that I could encourage more people to watch. The movie is called Some Kind of Heaven and it’s a documentary that defies any easy description. Ostensibly, it’s about The Villages, a massive retirement community in Florida that’s become well-known as a political

How To Spot Psychobabble Fads

MTracey podcast ·

2021/04/09

Notwithstanding the comically intense online vitriol he often seems to provoke, Jesse Singal is a fairly laid-back guy. He also has a new book out this week, The Quick Fix, which I’ve read and can recommend. Upon its publication Singal has been greeted with a new wave of attempts to stigmatize both him and the book, primarily on the ground that he is allegedly “transphobic”—even though the book has nothing to do with Trans issues, and by no conceivable standard of reasonability could he be deemed

How Boomers Ruined Everything

MTracey podcast ·

2021/03/23

Helen Andrews’ fabulously acidic book Boomers has earned a rousing enough recommendation from me that I decided to feature her as the first guest in the newly revived M. Tracey podcast series, now hosted on Substack. Previously I’d been averse to demarcating political conflict by generational lines, but this book has spicily dispelled any lingering apprehension I had in that regard. There’s plenty of cancellable material in here if you’re inclined to be scandalized — an apologia for the virtues of

Why Evangelicals support Trump

MTracey podcast ·

2019/09/20

I spoke to Ben Howe, author of the new book "The Immoral Majority," about his criticism of Evangelical Christian political power in the age of Trump. He himself is an Evangelical Christian and strongly dislikes Trump, but I tried to avoid the typical "Never Trump" discursive pitfalls!

I spoke to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Sestak in New Hampshire. If you're not familiar with him, you're probably not alone.
