Obama, The Recession, and Sex and the City (with Stephen Metcalf)

We started our mini-season on 2008 with a question: why were chick-flicks so popular that year? To close out our season, we’re calling up one of our favorite cultural critics, Stephen Metcalf, to get some answers.

Stephen Metcalf is the host of What Rough Beast and Slate’s Culture Gabfest. He talks to us today about the economic and idealogical forces at play in 2008.
