A Conversation with Political Scientist Andrew Gelman About the 2016 Election, Mama DeVega Makes Her Return, and Jane Elliott Chimes In

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


This week’s episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show features three great guests.

Political scientist and statistician Andrew Gelman is the first guest. He is a professor at Columbia University and the author of several books including Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State: Why Americans Vote the Way They Do. He recently wrote a great piece for Slate called “19 Lessons for Political Scientists from the 2016 Election”. During this week’s episode, Dr. Gelman does some great teaching and sharing about the 2016 presidential election and what the so-called “smart people” got right and wrong.

Civil rights activist and educator Jane Elliott chimed in for the second segment of this week’s podcast. She is most famous for her much discussed and documented Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes teaching and learning exercise from the 1960s. In the five decades since, Sister Elliot has not stopped speaking speak truth to power about the color line, prejudice, and bigotry in America and around the world. This is a preview of next week’s full episode with Jane Elliott.

Mama DeVega also makes her return to The Chauncy DeVega Show. She gives thanks for the kind birthday gifts that the friends of the podcast and Chauncey DeVega sent her way. Mama DeVega and Chauncey also debate the merits of attending one’s own funeral while still alive and how best to fake a death. Mama DeVega also shares a story about her encounter–or so she believes–with one of the 9-11 hijackers.

During this week’s podcast, Chauncey talks about Sean Spicer’s press conference where he defended Donald Trump’s lies about wiretapping, the evil Trump 2018 budget and its plans to kill the “useless eaters”, and gives out a “you big dummy award” to Rachel Maddow.
