About this listen

Rachel Dodes and Brian Hecht are cousins who enjoy dissecting the most abominable news of the week and shutting it all down, usually over whiskey, sometimes with a guest. But don't despair...they always end with a YUP or two, beacons of hope amid all the #NOPE.℗ & © 2018 This Week in Nope Political Science Politics & Government

  • Nopes of the Year! And the Losers Are...
    Dec 30 2021

    We decided to pull together a Year in Review episode, but first had to address some pressing Nopes, like GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn, who is quite possibly a Russian agent. Also: the woman who breastfed a hairless cat on a Delta flight. The fancy building in Tribeca infested with rats because it has no fire-proofing in the walls, which might be an even bigger problem. And finally, an online magazine published an article with the following headline: “Joan Didion didn’t play golf, but her writing had qualities for which all golfers should strive.”

  • Nancy Reagan: The OG Throat GOAT (feat. Glace Chase)
    Dec 17 2021

    This week we shut down Mark Meadows and his run-out-the-clock hail Mary strategy to evade accountability for his role in Donald Trump’s attempt to overthrow the government. Former Senate candidate Max Linn, the first person to get COVID in Maine, died in a hot tub following a dispute over (what else?) cryptocurrency. Our roving Australian correspondent, playwright Glace Chase, explains why “Throat Goat” was trending on Twitter and what this all has to do with former first lady Nancy Reagan. And finally, 40 camels in Saudi Arabia were disqualified from a beauty pageant after it was revealed that they took performance-enhancing drugs: Botox and fillers.

I greatly enjoyed the August 27 This Week in Nope podcast. Rachel and Brian are top-notch, as always. And a salute to the woman who suffered an extremely embarrassing event but was able to joke about it and then “lean in” and get the job done. She is the epitome of grace under pressure. A great mix of laughs and serious discussion.
