    Episode 2.1: Disinformation and Democracy
    Oct 10 2025

    In this podcast I discuss an article I co-authored and was published in Political Research Quarterly about fake news/post-truth and democracy. If you're interested in exploring the threat posed to democracy by disinformation (or fake news, post-truth, etc. -- we discuss the nomenclature in the article if you are interested), this is the podcast for you.

    (Also, it's really hard to record and not sniffle when you've got a cold!).

    1.5 Food Politics
    May 2 2025

    What is likely to be the first of many podcasts about food! Learn about cooking theory, the politics of treating food as a commodity, and why Israeli Cookbooks offer a lot more than recipes.


    (I mentioned a couple of academic papers I wrote/co-wrote in this podcast. Here is the one about Israeli cookbooks, and here is a version of my article about the Jerusalem cookbook).
