    College Professor: We’ve Oversold the College Dream
    2026/10/13
    Is college still worth it? Political science professor Kevin Wallsten examines the gap between what students pay, what universities promise, and what a degree actually delivers. From student debt and graduate underemployment to campus politics and AI, we explore why higher education is losing trust and where it still offers real value. Wallsten explains what college rankings miss, why prestige can be misleading, and what he would tell his own children before they choose a school or major.

  • What Happened to Sociology?

    What Happened to Sociology?
    2026/10/06
    Is sociology becoming too political to function as a serious academic discipline? Professor Ashley T. Rubin discusses her new report for the Vanderbilt–WashU Commission on Scholarly Standards, which examines the growing politicization of sociology and whether political commitments are influencing what researchers study, what questions they avoid, and how scholarship is evaluated. We discuss sociology’s increasing focus on inequality, taboo research questions, resistance to biological explanations, declining political neutrality in top journals, reproducibility problems, activism versus objective scholarship, the decline of sociology majors, and what universities should teach students in the age of AI. Dr. Rubin also explains why she believes sociology still produces valuable work—but faces serious problems if the field is unwilling to confront its own blind spots. Special thanks to Professor Ashley T. Rubin for joining us and for her work on this important report. 📄 Read Ashley Rubin’s full sociology report: The Status of Scholarly Standards in Sociology — Vanderbilt University https://www.vanderbilt.edu/principles/state-of-scholarship-report/sociology/ashley-rubin/ (https://www.vanderbilt.edu/principles/state-of-scholarship-report/sociology/ashley-rubin/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) ✍️ Ashley Rubin’s Substack: https://ashleytrubin.substack.com/ (https://ashleytrubin.substack.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) About the guest: Ashley T.

  • Canada’s Breaking Point Has Arrived (E220) - Darrell Bricker

    Canada’s Breaking Point Has Arrived (E220) - Darrell Bricker
    2026/09/29
    Darrell Bricker explains why Canada is approaching a potential breaking point as soaring housing costs, immigration pressures, generational divides, regional tensions, demographic decline, and a changing relationship with the United States challenge the country’s future. Guest BioDr. Darrell Bricker is Global CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs and co-author, with John Ibbitson, of Breaking Point: The New Big Shifts Putting Canada at Risk. He is a leading Canadian public-opinion researcher and has written extensively on demographics, politics, and social change. Topics DiscussedWhy Canada may be approaching a national “breaking point”Canada’s housing affordability crisisFalling fertility and an aging populationImmigration and the breakdown of Canada’s traditional immigration consensusThe “Laurentian elite” and Canada’s political establishmentAlberta, Saskatchewan, equalization payments, and Western alienationThe widening divide between younger and older CanadiansCanada’s brain drain to the United StatesMedical Assistance in Dying (MAID)Canada’s military decline and renewed defense spendingArctic sovereignty and competition with Russia, China, and the U.S.The changing Canada–U.S. relationshipThe decline of the U.S.-led global orderTrudeau, Carney, Canadian identity, and national prideWhether Canada can remain unified over the coming decadeMain PointsCanada’s problems are deeper than its current tensions with the United States; Bricker argues that longstanding internal divisions are being exposed. Housing is central: younger Canadians increasingly struggle to achieve the homeownership and financial security enjoyed by earlier generations, with Bricker citing polling in which 74% say owning a home is now only for the rich. Immigration, historically a source of broad Canadian consensus, became politically contentious as temporary workers, international students, and other newcomers increased rapidly while housing and public services struggled to keep pace. At the same time, Canada’s fertility rate has fallen sharply, making immigration increasingly important to population growth. Regional tensions remain another major fault line. Alberta and Saskatchewan generate substantial resource wealth while many Western Canadians believe federal policy has constrained their energy industries, contributing to resentment toward Ottawa and the equalization system. Bricker also argues that Canada must adapt to a world in which it can no longer assume the old U.S.-led international order will return after Trump. Canada is increasing defense spending, focusing more heavily on Arctic sovereignty, and attempting to diversify its relationships with Europe, Asia, India, and China. Despite these problems, Bricker does not portray Canada as a failed country. Canada and the United States remain highly desirable destinations for immigrants, but Canada faces a serious challenge if younger, highly skilled Canadians increasingly believe they can find greater opportunity south of the border. Top 3 Quotes“The idea that the Canadian dream paid off for one group of the population and it’s not paying off in the same way for another group of the population is absolutely valid in the data.” “We need to start building a lot more housing stock that looks like what people want rather than what planners want them to endure.” “We’re going to have to carve a new path.” Misc. Podcast InfoGuest: Dr. Darrell BrickerBook: Breaking Point: The New Big Shifts Putting Canada at RiskCo-author: John IbbitsonRole: Global CEO, Ipsos Public AffairsCore themes: Canada, housing, immigration, demographics, generational inequality, Western alienation, U.S.–Canada relations, defense, Arctic sovereignty, MAID, national identityOverall framing: Is Canada’s traditional economic, political, and national model reaching a breaking point?Closing takeaway: Bricker expects late 2026 and 2027 to be an especially consequential period for Canada, with major political and regional tensions potentially coming to the forefront. 🎙 The Pod is hosted by Jesse Wright💬 For guest suggestions, questions, or media inquiries, reach out at https://elpodcast.media/📬 Never miss an episode – subscribe and follow wherever you get your podcasts.⭐️ If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the show.
