Kylie Jenner and Mark Zuckerberg are trying to rebrand Meta Glasses as some kind of girlboss fashion accessory, even though women are the ones most likely to be the victims of their invasive technology. While Meta plows forward with this new collaboration, the glasses continue to be abused by users taking advantage of its covert filming capabilities, often by filming women without their knowledge and posting it online. On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by A Bit Fruity host Matt Bernstein to discuss why sinister companies keep giving themselves girlboss makeovers—but also why it’s not working.

This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay.

It was the red card—and subsequent White House phone call—heard ‘round the world. After USMNT striker Folarin Balogun was dealt a red card, President Trump gave FIFA head Gianni Infantino a ring. Suddenly, Balogun’s one-game suspension was revoked. It wasn’t enough to keep USMNT from losing against Belgium 4-1… but it was enough to ruin the World Cup vibes and make the United States, once again, the world’s villain.

Here at Slow Burn, we explore the events and people who shaped America as we know it today. As the country marks its 250th birthday this summer, we want to introduce you to the first installment of First America, a great podcast series that explores a truly consequential moment from our nation’s past.

We have been told the American Revolution was fought over taxation and representation. First America reveals the real story of why the colonists rebelled, what kind of government they created, and how it led to America’s current political moment. Hosted by Rebecca Nagle, an Indigenous author and former host of Crooked Media’s This Land podcast, the series looks at the hunger for Indigenous land that fueled the American Revolution—and questions how an entire country missed the point of its own founding document.

The show's first episode takes its title from the lesser-known last grievance in the Declaration of Independence. Listen to “Merciless Indian Savages,” from First America—and find the rest of the series wherever you get podcasts.
