From Cafe and the VOX Media Podcast Network, welcome to Stay Tuned.

I'm Pete Barara.

I think it just illustrates the futility of trying to say we're going to try to erase the salience of race.

It can't be done. And by allowing some consideration of race in this context, the court has just I think suggested

well, there'll be some shifts required on the part of both students and admissions offices, but we can't make race not salient.

That's Kate Shaw. She's a constitutional law professor at the Cardozo School of Law in New York City.

She's also a co-host of Strix Crutiny, a legal podcast focused on analyzing the Supreme Court's cases and culture.

The Supreme Court wrapped up its term last week with a handful of consequential decisions, including on affirmative action, free speech, and student loans.

So there's a lot to unpack.

What will college admissions look like without race-based affirmative action?

What are the limits on laws protecting the rights of LGBTQ people? And what's the extent of executive power?

I discuss all of this and more with Kate Shaw.

And just as a note, I got a ton of questions from you folks about these decisions.

So instead of answering them myself in our typical Q&A, I figured I'd ask the Supreme Court expert.

That's coming up. Stay tuned.

On criminal, we bring you true crime stories told by people who know them best.

We didn't believe in setting fires because that was too dangerous. We were kind of gentle, kind of crooks, so to speak.

So the best plan you had was that you'd glass owe it.

Yeah, never imagined I'd use it for a camel.

I'm Phoebe Judge, and this is criminal. Did you have to say what was in the box?

Phoebe, we told lies.

Listen to criminal every week. Wherever you get your podcasts.
