The August edition of the ICBW podcast is now available for download or streaming.  In part 1, we discuss the state of Israel's operations in Gaza; in part 2 we tackle recent rumblings about an immigration "amnesty" and academic researchers' complaints about cuts in research funding; and in part 3 we consider the controversies surrounding Steven Colbert and Sydney Sweeney.  As always, listeners are invited to participate in the debate by commenting on this post.
