Capitalism (ft. Carly Heiser)

Show Notes

In this episode, Cait is joined by Carly Heiser to talk through a beast of a topic...ensuring that your cat stays hydrated at 2AM….no, no wait….it’s capitalism, we’re talking about capitalism. It’s got its beefy tentacles into everything and can feel overwhelming to wrestle with - but this is a good enough start. Included is an overview of historical developments beginning with feudalism, with its appalling smells and incessant rain, through the modern era with its slightly better smells and a capitalist system on steroids. Then our co-hosts dive into some of the lies that capitalism tells us, and how we can operate in this system while hopefully moving toward something that works for more people. 

The episode concludes with a very important discussion of celebrity streams we’d like to see spun up on Twitch.

What is Equally Funny?

Hosted by Cait Rogan--who was looking to put her Women’s Studies PhD to good use--and a rotating lineup of hilarious co-hosts, each episode of Equally Funny breaks down a topic related to social justice while bringing the laughs.

We talk through definitions, historical developments, present day context, and more. If you’ve ever been curious about this stuff, think of Equally Funny as a great starting point - a gateway drug, if you will, into the world of social justice. It’s totally fine if you get hooked.
