This week on the Mom and Dad Are Fighting Slate Plus bonus segment, hosts Dan Kois and Allison Benedikt welcome Mike Pesca of The Gist to share a parenting triumph. Last weekend, Mike and his kids celebrated the “most democratic sport in the world”—the NYC Marathon. Did their view from the fire escape catch all of the action? How did Mike’s kids support runners from around the world? And what exactly is vexillology?

Here’s what the other podcasts discussed on their Slate Plus bonus segments from the past week:
