Episode 92 [PATREON EXCLUSIVE] -- In Pools with the Right (Patreon)

It's summer, and last week, both Moira and Adrian have found themselves near pools. So they recorded an episode about swimming pools and conservatism, one that turned out quite a big meatier than that topic might suggest. Immigration, race, gendered violence, public goods, civil rights ... the Supreme Court! Leave it to your friends at In Bed with the Right to turn splashing into some cold water on a hot summer day into ... a bit of a bummer.

Here's a list of the sources we refer to in the episode:

-- Thomas A. P. van Leeuwen, The Springboard in the Pond: An Intimate History of the Swimming Pool (1998)

-- Jeff Wiltse, Contested Waters: A Social History of Swimming Pools in America (2007)

-- Heather McGhee, The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together (2021)

-- Our friends at 5-4 did an amazing episode on the SCOTUS case Palmer v Thompson, which, if you haven't heard it yet, you can listen to here.
