We're joined by Dr. Eddie Glaude Jr., Princeton professor & author of Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own for one of the most productive, good faith conversations ever on the subject of race vs. economic anxiety, how to talk about racism to racists, and how race reductionists derail universalist policies with bad faith arguments. -

Pretty sure I was the 69th review
Nice
Best new podcast on the left in ages
Dare I say it? Bad Faith might be even better than Chapo. I signed up for their Patreon after the first couple episodes and it’s worth every penny.
The most ambitious crossover since Wham!

Very insightful, a lot to learn from these two about the current political moment in America. Plus, they somehow managed to make a panel show not unbearable to listen to. Not only is it “not unbearable”, it’s now my most looked forward to pod on the pod docket.
