Apologies Accepted ·

2021/01/06

The skies are about to get a whole lot more Shakespearian when revenge strikes out of the Jet Blue (sorry). How does a day-long snowstorm impact just one airline for nearly a week? While the snowstorm of 2007 was historic, the bigger historic event was how the stumbling recovery of one airline, which started out on the promise of making flying better, led to the Jet Blue Customer Bill of Rights which eventually reformed airlines’ customer service policies in the US.

Kanye West – Taylor Swift is not the Frenemy

Apologies Accepted ·

2020/12/23

Imma tell you about this episode but first I want to say that Beyoncé had one of the best podcasts of all time! And one of the best videos too! Kanye is not forcing me to type this and he is not saying that you should totally skip this episode. The Apologists consider how this event in pop culture may be viewed as the intersection of the early 2000’s and mental health, racism, misogyny, power imbalance, and good ol’ imposter syndrome. Note to the Swifties: if you like this episode you can put a

Orson Welles – Panic USA!

Apologies Accepted ·

2020/12/09

Did a radio show purposely create a nationwide panic, sending people into the streets and mothers with shotguns into bathtubs? Or were newspapers just blowing it all out of proportion because they were jealous of the newest form of media, radio?
