What's this? A good news story from history??? Officially referred to as the 1925 Nome Serum Run, the Great Race of Mercy was an Alaskan dogsled relay that quite literally saved an entire village of children suffering from diphtheria.

So if you're from a country that is a bit more advanced and well off, and you wish to go to a country that is impoverished to help, because you care about people, that makes you a racist with a white savior complex, and if you don't choose to help, then you're a racist and heartless. So white people are just damned if they do and damned if they don't. That is a crock of shit.

first, thank you Katie, for being a phenomenal educator! I'd never heard of the Magdalene Laundries before today, and I truly appreciate the time and work you put into your research and production. But is anyone else getting ads inviting them to apply to work with "US Customs and Border Control?" I think the audience of this particular podcast are probably some of the last people Customs and Border Control would want to hire... so bizarre. BUT THANK YOU KATIE!

Love the pod. I do wish the volume randomness could be addressed. You're loud then soft then loud. It's very jarring.
