Fall 2023 Teaser

Speaker 1 I'm Willip Haskin, the host of Decodering, Slate's podcast about cracking cultural mysteries. Coming up in our new season, slow dancing.
You know that hands on hips, zombie sway.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't call it dancing. It used to be a rite of passage.
You know, stiffening your arms, Frankenstein's monster style, but something has happened to it. My generation does not slow dance.

Speaker 1 We don't slow dance. Also this season, provocative experimental art was hidden in plain sight on the 90s hit TV drama, Melrose Place.

Speaker 1 Like there was a real pool float that looked like a sperm about to fertilize an egg. And of all the instruments out there, why were so many of us as kids taught to play the recorder?
