First, I just wanna say that names are incredibly rich signals that whether we realize it or not, every time we hear someone's name, we are forming impressions about a likely age, gender, ethnicity, even. Socioeconomic status or geography, that's all part of the impression that comes with a name. So it's something that you carry around, like little social microclimate that shapes the way people respond to you.
We're only alive for so long. So my future really is, as cheesy as it may seem, is to, um, try to let people know, Hey, you're not alone.
💡 Why You Should Listen:
If you’ve ever Googled yourself, reflected on your identity, or simply love well-produced podcasts that make you feel something, this one’s for you. It's perfect for Radiolab, This American Life, Heavyweight fans, or anyone who geeks out over good audio.

Feed Drops Opens the Drawer of “The A Files”
In this episode of Feed Drops, Brian reviews an eye-opening episode from 'The A Files: A Secret History of Abortion.' Hosted by Renee Bracy Sherman and Regina Mahone, this episode titled 'The Other A Word: Adoption' features sociologist Dr. Gretchen Sisson and delves into whether adoption is truly a solution to unwanted pregnancy. Brian breaks down the content across 10 review categories, giving it an overall rating of 9.0 out of 10. The discussion is compassionate, historically grounded, and deeply relevant, making it a must-listen for policymakers, social workers, parents, and anyone seeking a nuanced understanding of family and autonomy.
Episode Summary: The Other A Word: Adoption In this bold and compassionate episode, Renee and Regina dive deep into the complex intersection of adoption and abortion with special guest Dr. Gretchen Sisson. They explore how societal narratives around adoption often ignore the lived experiences of birth parents and children, and how those narratives have been weaponized in anti-abortion rhetoric.
Through a thoughtful discussion that includes cultural analysis, historical context, and research-based insights, the episode deconstructs why adoption is not a simple answer to reproductive injustice. The “There Are Other Books” segment adds literary depth with a conversation about Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, tying fiction and reality in a meaningful way.
