Hello from Tammy\\u2019s surfing hagwon!\\xa0

This week, we\\u2019re celebrating 1 MILLION DOWNLOADS! Sounds fake, we know, but Substack doesn\\u2019t lie. Thanks for tuning in to our ramblings for the past two and a half years\\u2014long live TTSG!

At the top of the show, we listen to a posthumous podcast with New Yorker editor John Bennett and several of his writers. We reflect on \\u201cBennettisms\\u201d about the editor-writer relationship and how writers can help their readers.\\xa0

Next, Tammy reports on the heightened military tensions in Korea and across Asia. What makes this moment feel different in a region accustomed to confrontation and nuclear threats? How has the mainstream response to these threats shifted? And what does the war in Ukraine mean for state sovereignty and Cold War alignments? Plus: Korea\\u2019s most economically valuable young men (BTS) report for mandatory military service.\\xa0

Last, we go long on the L.A. City Council mess. As we discussed briefly last week, three council members and a union leader were caught making racist remarks in a closed-door discussion last year about redistricting. We dig into the deeper political arrangement in L.A. and the good and bad of ethnic solidarity. Could this incident, which has confirmed some cynical suspicions about local politics, be an earthquake moment that leads to stronger coalitions along race and class lines? Will this turn Jay and Tammy into Republicans?\\xa0

Next week, we\\u2019ll be recording a \\U0001f389BONUS EP \\U0001f389 for paid subscribers where we answer listener questions. Subscribe via Patreon or Substack to submit your questions and hear the episode!\\xa0

Also: Tomorrow, 10/20, at 6:30pm ET, Jay will join historian Erika Lee, New Yorker editor Michael Luo, and NYU\\u2019s Rachel Swarns to discuss anti-Asian violence and the complexity of America\\u2019s racial divide. Register here!
