AAC, FUCT, and Bourdain

We start this episode with a quick review of the Afghan American Conference that Diz and Ali attended. We then talk about the Supreme Court decision regarding the branding of “FUCT.” We discuss the nature and limits of free speech the controversy over obscenity, and the consequences for the public sphere. We link this to discussions about pornography, hate speech, and satire. We then wrap up with a tribute to Anthony Bourdain. We talk about the impact he had in our lives, the power of food and culture to bring people together, and Vy’s own foray into the world of travel and food.
