Let's Talk About Sex & Ageism in Politics

Author: Zoomer Podcast Network February 18, 2024 Duration: 18:51
How Canadians Are Enjoying Sex: On Valentine’s day this week, Sociologist Tina Fetner released a book on Canadian sexual practices based on the first ever survey of what Canadian adults do in the bedroom and who they do it with. It’s called "Sex in Canada: The Who, Why, When, and How of Getting Down Up North". And Libby started the conversation by asking how we are different from Americans. Ageism in Politics: This week a special counsel cleared U.S. President Joe biden of criminal wrongdoing in his handling of classified documents, But Robert Hur, who is associated with Donald Trump and has no neurological expertise, characterized the 81-year-old Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory”. By that point the President’s age was already a widely debated campaign issue. Is that partisan politics or ageism? Libby reached Larry Haas- a Senior Fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council, in Maryland.

Every week, Libby Znaimer sits down to sort through the noise and find the stories that truly matter for a curious, engaged audience. Zoomer Week in Review is more than just a headlines recap; it’s a thoughtful conversation about how broader trends in society, arts, and culture intersect with our daily lives.
