Manage episode 432863361 series 1093146
It’s kind of weird how much the word “weird” has been coming up all of a sudden in the election, isn’t it?
This hour, a look at weirdness and the Democrats’ new wall-to-wall, paint-Trump-and-Vance-as-weird strategy.
Plus, the history of the word “weird,” what it’s like being weird, and a few minutes on quantum weirdness.
GUESTS:
- Olga Khazan: A staff writer for The Atlantic covering health, gender, and policy and the author of Weird: The Power of Being an Outsider in an Insider World
- Douglas Natelson: Associate dean for research at the Wiess School of Natural Sciences at Rice University, where he studies the emergent properties of materials
- Kase Wickman: A freelance journalist and frequent contributor to Vanity Fair
- Ben Zimmer: A linguist and lexicographer and the language columnist for The Wall Street Journal
