[Air-L] WEIRD: a podcast on the US election / Ep.2: Russian interference & Ep.3: the Harris-Trump debate unpacked

[Vito Laterza]

Dear colleagues,

You can check out the latest episodes of our podcast “WEIRD - A global take on the US election”, hosted by anthropologists Vito Laterza and Louis Römer. We provide engaging commentary on what Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, Donald Trump, JD Vance and other politicians and commentators  say, but also how they say it - the vibes, the emotions, the drama.

Ep.2 - From Russia with love: Putin's interference in the US election
Russian agents continue to meddle in American politics. Libertarians ally with Trump. How JD Vance weaponised the "white working class". Harris shouldn't avoid the press.

Ep.3 - The Harris-Trump debate unpacked: empathy vs hate
We compare two radically different visions for America in the 10 September presidential debate. We talk about the ideas, the emotions and the communication tactics.
