Episode description

Michael Kosta reports on the fallout from Arizona’s nearly complete abortion ban, sending the GOP into scramble mode. Plus, Jordan Klepper joins Kosta for an enlightening new segment, “Men Talk About Abortion.” Also, are you a politician afraid of going viral for falling down the stairs? Worry no more! Stair Sherpa is the only app where you can request a beefy man in your area to carry you safely up and down any staircase. Nothing embarrassing about this! And cultural critic, poet, and best-selling author Hanif Abdurraqib joins Michael Kosta to discuss his new book “There’s Always This Year” and how the game of basketball can illuminate our understanding of time, urgency, and mortality. Abdurraqib reflects on turning 40, how to reframe aging, the kind of ascension we should strive for, and how to utilize nostalgia as a tool for improvement.
