The February ICBW podcast is now available for download or streaming.  Part 1 covers the border, so to speak, delving into the US "border crisis", with digressions into the properties of various democratic systems as well as Israeli politics.  Part 2 explores DEI, merit and employment policy--with additional discussion of presidential administration staffing--and in part 3 we consider the question of politically motivated disparities in the application of justice, in historical context.  As always, listeners are invited to participate in the discussion via comments on this post.
