Crude Conversations

EP 006 with Michael Downey

In this episode, we have a conversation with freelance reporter Michael Downey. We talk about reporting on war and revolutions in the middle east for New York Times, BBC, PBS NewsHour and Rolling Stone, what it means to be a millennial—how all generations look down on previous generations—and how artificial intelligence will soon take all our jobs. 

EP 005 with Aaron Leggett

In this episode, we have a conversation with Aaron Leggett, the Curator of Alaska History and Culture at the Anchorage Museum. We talk about the identity of Alaskans—the history of the land and its people as a way to lend perspective to the present and the future—and the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend, the history of it and why we have such a sense of entitlement about it.
