Episode 224: How Two Cops in 1980s Miami Inspired "The Sopranos"
Description
This week, the man behind our infamous Attention-Whore Index, George Kalogerakis, takes us inside the year-end awards for the biggest winners—or, really, losers—of 2024. Then, it’s been 40 years since the television show Miami Vice debuted, and Josh Karp is going to tell us how a show about two cops in the modern-day Casablanca transformed television and set the mold for The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, and more. And finally, Joseph Rodota has his report on Dr. Mary Calderone. In the 1970s, this woman, in her 60s at the time, helped lead American schools to teach sex education. Now the issues Calderone campaigned for are under fire again—this time from the far right. Joe’s going to tell us all about this fascinating woman.
