Philosophy Call-in, 'Killing Eve,' The Last Season of 'Veep,' 'Modernist Bread,' The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, Women & Data

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Mar 25, 2019

Lee McIntyre, a research fellow at the Center for Philosophy and History of Science at Boston University and an instructor in ethics at the Harvard Extension School, and Ian Olasov, graduate student in philosophy at the CUNY Graduate Center and the founder of Brooklyn Public Philosophers, discuss their experience answering strangers' life questions in the Columbus Circle subway station. Luke Jennings talks about his new book, Killing Eve: No Tomorrow. Jennings’s series is the inspiration for the hit TV show, “Killing Eve.” Actor Timothy Simons of “Veep” talks about the show's final season. Francisco Migoya, co-author of the seminal 5-volume tome, Modernist Bread, discusses all things bread. New York Public Radio's director of archives, Andy Lanset, joins us for this week’s installment of our ongoing series, “Andy in the Archives.” This week, we're taking a look back at the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, which took place on March 25, 1911. Caroline Criado Perez, a writer and feminist activist, joins us to discuss her book, Invisible Women, which takes a deep dive into the ways that big data renders women largely invisible and what impacts this has on women’s lived experiences.
