The Loopcast

what’s a reasonable length for @theloopcast.bsky.social’s first video essay/lecture examining extremism?

wendigoon, super eye patch wolf, super bunny hop, and even red letter media do hours long essays/discussions and seem to do well

probably aiming for 45 minutes to an hour?

time of day where i think about spinning up @theloopcast.bsky.social again and starting a youtube channel where i discuss extremism, history, and reconstruction

looking for guests to be on @theloopcast.bsky.social - our primary focus for this season will be on lawful extremism - looking for guests to help discuss some of topics we will be covering including: birthright citizenship, the history of segregation, and abortion rights

really want to continue to build on this @theloopcast.bsky.social conversation we had with @jgienapp.bsky.social on a historical critique of originalism

thinking about inviting professor amar, professor lash, or professor calabresi - maybe the last simply to discuss ed meese’ role in originalism

really need to get @jamellebouie.net on @theloopcast.bsky.social - our series on lawful extremism wouldn’t be complete without a discussion on the politics of segregation past and present

@machete.gay and @intelwire.bsky.social get this

currently pitching/booking guests for next set of @theloopcast.bsky.social shows - continuing w our series on lawful extremism and then taking it from there

probably need to get a guest on @theloopcast.bsky.social to discuss united states vs wong kim ark - really an expansion on the conversation we had w @intelwire.bsky.social and @bdaviess.bsky.social re: the chinese exclusion act

open to suggestions!

In "Against Constitutional Originalism: A Historical Critique," Professor Gienapp discusses how champions of the theory of U.S. constitutional interpretation known as originalism, which now commands majority support on the Supreme Court, distort the very history their theory is staked to.

Last month we spoke to Professor Jonathan Gienapp about his new book "Against Constitutional Originalism: A Historical Critique."

open.spotify.com/episode/6FNi...

this forthcoming episode of @theloopcast.bsky.social w professor gienapp will be of interest to @intelwire.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net and @machete.gay

key question: how does historical interpretation/misinterpretation underwrite lawful extremist positions?

writing up @theloopcast.bsky.social questions for our show w professor gienapp being recorded on friday

We spoke to @profmsinha.bsky.social about her new book Rise and Fall of the Second American Republic: Reconstruction, 1860-1920

ran into this problem when trying to get conservative guests for @theloopcast.bsky.social - it’s a multi layered problem really - can’t find someone that is qualified, conversational, critically think about their ideas/not ideologically myopic, and most importantly not tied/won’t parrot extremists

Thanks for the terrific discussion. If you're not already listening to @theloopcast.bsky.social, check it out!

fantastic discussion w @david.noll.org and another show in our broader series on lawful extremism that started w our discussion w @intelwire.bsky.social and @bcdaviess.bsky.social
