JIALIO is not a current events podcast, but Aaron and Ira exist in real time, and this episode constitutes something of a time capsule. Recording back in May 2022, shortly after the US Supreme Court’s majority draft opinion overruling Roe v. Wade was leaked, Aaron and Ira respond at length to the news from their positions as Americans who were born after Roe was decided in 1973, as people who cannot themselves get pregnant, and as individuals living, respectively, in Paris, France and Chicago, Illinois, USA specifically. As in episode 3, on the war in Ukraine, they find themselves grappling with how to make sense of an occurrence that had previously seemed unimaginable, and what might come after. It would be dishonest to say things do not get bleak.
