A podcast about the dumbest decade in western history. So dumb most of it passed right through us without leaving us anything to think about, until now! We look at the most popular movies, subcultures, political movements, books, and video games of the decade and wonder what made them so popular to audiences in the 2000s, and how their legacy can still be seen today.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-26T14:18:45.904510+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/remember-shuffle-5585594"},"episode":{"title":"Invictus: E111 We Have Mandela at Home","slug":"invictus-e111-we-have-mandela-at-home","published_at":"2026-02-28T14:59:33+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/remember-shuffle-5585594/invictus-e111-we-have-mandela-at-home","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/remember-shuffle-5585594","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/remembershuffle/episodes/Invictus-E111-We-Have-Mandela-at-Home-e3fo452","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/746c0164/podcast/play/116182626/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-1-28%2F79b3475b-7350-252a-0a98-4db767b89415.mp3","summary":"With the campaign of Barack Obama in 2007-2008, the U.S. saw a resurgence in interest in Nelson Mandela, with Americans projecting a parallel with our own first black president. You can almost hear the gears turning in Clint Eastwood’s mind watching 2009’s Invictus–hoping to goad Obama towards symbolic reconciliation rather than expropriative redistribution. We look at Obama’s initial posturing and discuss whether or not he was doing the Mandela affect.
