@sondheimpodcast Our favorite Slavic coastal town
Was our only big dispute.
She like a place of great renown,
I went for something cute.
We never did see eye to eye:
She settled on Dubrovnik,
"Mariupol!" was my reply
(But then, I'm an Azovnik)

@sondheimpodcast One little addition: it’s not (just) that they start singing on “harmony”; just before he says that there are two *really* harsh dissonances that resolve as he says it

[Adriaan @ALKroonenberg]

it could be overwhelming to young people looking for guidance. Don't really have a good answer, other than showing many different models of what a good man can look like...

[Adriaan @ALKroonenberg]

Bit late to the party, but this was really great! I did wonder about two things while listening, though:
1. Heterogeneity and 2. Being a good man vs. just being a good person

NEW @KnowYrEnemyPod just dropped! @SamAdlerBell and I are at our most vulnerable, talking about...men, manliness, and masculinity—what the problem is with these things, how the right is talking about it, and what some alternatives might be

[Adriaan @ALKroonenberg]

They do touch on this: I don't think we would be comfortable saying there is any one specific way to be "masculine": as long as you are a good person, you can define your masculinity in your own way, that fits you. To me, that is liberating, but I understand the point that

Was just staring at the last four words, thinking: “what’s the link?” And then it hit me! 😅

The old Tom Lehrer song needs an update!
“Oh, the Protestants *like* the Catholics,
And the Catholics *like* the Protestants,
And the Hindus *??* the Moslems,
And everybody *loves* the Jews.”

@GeertvdVarst Had niet gedacht dat jij een streaming debt denier was, Geert. Teleurstellend…

I thought I was prepared for just how bad the book excerpts would be, but I have not WTAFed this hard ever. The “what he hears” descriptions are… I have no words

Episode 7: "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus."
In 1992 a yoga instructor with a distance-learning PhD had the courage to ask, "Are women not getting help around the house because they're using the wrong modal verb?"

@sondheimpodcast @KarenUnland Beyond thrilled to have a Tom Lehrer cameo in this episode! Here is a performance of his at a concert for Cameron Mackintosh. You may recognise the person introducing him, who also shares a fun biographical tidbit! https://t.co/dpF1EBx5Hb

@GeertvdVarst Maar Geert, jij bent toch een weerliefhebber?! Zo boeiend!

@sondheimpodcast Oh, and the “movers and shapers” line is also in Our Time, but I’m sure many people have already chimed in to tell you that! @thekylemarshall

[Adriaan @ALKroonenberg]

@sondheimpodcast Hi Kyle, loving the new season! On the “charisma” line: I take it to mean they are describing Frank as the dictionary definition of charismatic. As in, there is an implied second part of the sentence: if you didn’t know what charisma meant[, just look at Frank and you’d know]
