2025-02-05 - DEI Distractions

Jonny and Craig discuss DEI. They start with a focus on the local,
plugging artistic work in Carbondale with the upcoming Kleinau
Theatre production of "Epiphanies," an adaptation of Flash Fiction
by local writer, Epiphany Ferrell. They then turn to recent attacks
by the Trump Administration on DEI and what that might mean for the
university where they teach (SIU). They then discuss the Grammies
and what this past weekend's music awards might teach us about the
value of DEI. In the back half of the show, they examine the Trump
Administration's high level placement of gay and lesbian
conservatives in positions of significance. They discuss how this
participates in a concerted effort to pare the Q and T off of
LGBTQ, and why they are not having it.
