highfalutin podcast no. 10: THAW

In the tenth episode of the highfalutin podcast we celebrate the coming of Spring and see some signs for optimism with the Covid numbers declining, though the vaccine rollout hasn’t been perfect and inequalities exist there. We discuss the energy debacle after the cold weather in Texas and why we think Merrick Garland will make a wonderful Attorney General. We’re excited to get back to museums and are amazed by the dominance of Naomi Osaka at the Australian Open, but question whether the Tokyo Olympics should take place as planned this Summer. Finally, we end on a high note with the Mars Rover, the end of “Dibs,” and a highfalutin milestone.
