Mary & Wyatt are fresh-faced and bright-eyed after a restful week off. After recapping the first Presidential debate, they talk about the art of assertiveness and why it’s so hard to stand up for yourself and say no. They discuss the gendered dimension of assertiveness and how capitalism plays into a culture of obedience and complacency. Also on the agenda: Read My Lips, Wyatt & Mary’s house is infested with fruit flies, and poems by June Jordan and Haya Alyan.
