ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you want to insult someone, tell them their contributions to a conversation or a project are frivolous — silly or meaningless. Jehanne Dubrow is a poet, essayist, and professor of creative writing at the University of North Texas. She explores this concept in her new book, "Frivolity: A Defense." Plus, you don't have to break the bank to see a professional soccer match in North Texas. The women's soccer club Dallas Trinity FC is now in its third season in the Gainbridge Super League. KERA’s Alexsis Jones and Therese Powell take us inside the Cotton Bowl for a match.
