Open Ended

This week, Cher and James put on their best robot voices with Roboism hosts, Alex and Savannah. Topics include: robots, feminism, education, Star Wars, and white tech bros comparing themselves to activists. In Open Mic, we determine what makes a robot, and what makes an appliance. Lastly, in Open Call, Savannah shouts out a Disney Channel Original Movie, Alex recommends Sleep Aid apps, James has a new favorite Snapchat page, and Cher is vibing a West Coast girl group. We are sponsored this week by: Field Notes: Field Notes Brand. USA made memo books & other products, including seasonal limited-editions. Visit fieldnotesbrand.com or 400 North May, in Chicago. We also have announcements like: We are kicking off a new fundraising goal for 2015! We have our eyes on a portable recorder so we can start doing more on-site interviews, continue to pay our guests, and make this podcast sustainable.
