The Chicks vs. The Iraq War

Despite living through the Iraq War as an adult, I didn’t know how intensely anti-war views were censored and punished. Plenty of good learning in this You’re Wrong About episode and not just about the Dixie Chicks (although that part of the story is fascinating):

Mike tells Sarah about an impending conflict, a dissident singer and America’s first internet-enabled cancellation. Digressions include “Freedom Fries” and 1990s record company shenanigans. The co-hosts harmonize for the first time; Mike struggles not to call the Chicks by their former name.

I love these kids. They are doing such good work.
