'Green Card Soldiers' in the Military Machine feat. Sofya Aptekar Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

For this week's episode, Nate speaks with sociologist Sofya Aptekar (@sofyaaptekar), a professor at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, about her book 'Green Card Solider: Between Model Immigrant and Security Threat.' Many people don't realize that you can enlist in the US military without citizenship—and that, at least for a time, the US military helped facilitate naturalization as a US citizen. But it turns out that it's not always (or even often) the primary driver of green card holders being recruited. And the experience of thousands of deported veterans can also attest to the fact that veteran status does not guarantee any protection to non-citizens.

It Is Actually Legal to Apologize to Your Kid Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

It's an ultra DadChat this week where we discuss how to keep your basement from getting too damp, Nate deploying New Yorker Voice on the unsuspecting British, the concept of a shotgun shack, a long digression into the fact that other countries have different voltages and power plugs, and much more.

But, starting at 49:22, we answer one of the more interesting Ask A Dad questions we've gotten: what do you do when you have moments of clarity about how to parent—moments that contrast how you are as a parent versus how you were raised—and what was your reaction? We hope you enjoy the conversation!
