Earlier this week, pro-Palestinian protestors blocked traffic on
highways and bridges in San Francisco, Chicago, New York and
Seattle. On that same day, the Supreme Court made it incredibly
difficult to protest in a lot of the American South. In this
episode, host Brittany Luse looks at the state of protest in
America. She sits down with Sandhya Dirks, an NPR reporter who
covers race and identity, and Elizabeth Blair, a senior arts
reporter at NPR. Together, they discuss shifting attitudes towards
protest as well as new anti-protest legislation. Then, they play a
game of But Did You Know?

After that, we take a look back at OJ Simpson and his impact on
culture. Brittany is joined by NPR's Mandalit Del Barco and Eric
Deggans to hear their account of how OJ shifted media and
television as we know it. He's had an outsized influence on
everything from true-crime, to TMZ, to the Kardashians.
