Decoder Ring on Are We Doomed?

Hi, I'm Willa Paskin, the host of Decoder Ring, Slate's podcast about cracking cultural mysteries. On Decoder Ring, we dive down rabbit holes and obsessively explore questions hiding in plain sight. Like, why is protein in everything these days? And are British teeth really as bad as Americans like to think they are? And why, in the late 1990s, did people suddenly become re-obsessed with swing music? All that and more on Decoder Ring. Listen to new episodes every two weeks where you listen to podcasts.
