Our prayers are with the families of those with loved ones in Rafah, but most importantly our calls to action are too. Where do we go from here, y’all? This week hosts Andrew Gillum, Angela Rye, and Tiffany Cross ask how many red lines have to be crossed before the Biden Administration takes meaningful action. 

 

Speaking of Biden, there’s growing panic within the Democratic Party over increasing signs that the President is STRUGGLING to gain a lead in the 2024 election over white-supremacist and would-be-tyrant Donald Trump. The hosts look at the “signs” and debate the usefulness of election polling.   

 

And in this week’s deep dive, the hosts respond to listener questions about folks in the community who question voting for Biden and who his base really is. We know y’all are struggling with this year’s presidential election and the feeling that folks have to choose between “the lesser of two evils”. The hosts navigate this struggle for themselves—IN REAL TIME—and offer some tips on how to talk to friends and family about it. 

 

Gaza has been in the news a lot lately, including some truly horrific videos that have been coming from Rafah this last week. Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue his assault on the city despite the civilian casualties and increasing condemnation from the international community. So, what are we going to do about it?? SOMETHING. The call to act is upon us.

We are 159 days away from the election. Welcome home, y’all!

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss the “N” word—who should say it and who should not? 

 

With an eye towards history and pop culture, the hosts look at why some folks choose to use this word—and use it, and use it, and use it—while others think that not even Black folks should say it. Along with funny stories about their personal relationships with this powerful word, we’ll hear about how the NAACP gave the “N" word a funeral, and touch on the politics of the “N” word in the Kendrick v. Drake hip-hop beef. 

 

Welcome home y’all!

Black women are under attack—from eyelashes in Congress, to venture funds for Black businesses.  This week’s episode is a recording of Native Land Pod’s first LIVE audience show! Hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum paid a visit to the women’s global leadership summit, ExcelerateHER, in Miami for a town hall takeover!

They’ll confront specific issues facing the community, like financial literacy and racially charged attacks, and offer tangible solutions. This episode is all about strategy, action, and solidarity y’all! 

 

Notable questioners featured in this week’s show include, Luvvie Ajayi Jones, Brittany Packnett Cunningham, Bevy Smith, Jewel Burks Solomon, and Jessica Nabongo.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask themselves, is this show a safe space? What is our obligation as a show to create a safe space for ourselves and for the audience, and what does “safe space” mean, anyway? 

 

This is a follow up from last week’s MiniPod that got a liiittle heated.  

 

Welcome home y’all!

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask: when will we see a Black woman in the US Senate?? The United States has only ever had three Black women as senators. Currently there are none, but two candidates may change that come November… 

 

Speaking of elections, what’s up with these Trump surrogates already denying the ‘24 election before it’s even happened? And what will actually happen if Trump loses in November but his supporters don’t accept the results? The hosts discuss this and the relevance (or not) of presidential debates. 

 

Then, our resident expert on all things FAMU, Andrew Gillum, covers the drama coming out of his alma mater. Florida A&M University received a $237 MILLION dollar donation last week, complete with a huge check that they showed off at graduation. But it turns out the whole thing was a hoax??

On this week’s MiniPod, hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum bring y’all behind the scenes of Native Land Pod. This episode is all about how they choose what to cover and who to platform on the show. It may (or may not) surprise you to know that they disagree about what and who to cover ALL the time. 

 

This one’s going to get contentious y’all, welcome home!
