    The Queen is dead. Long live post-monarchy.

    Brian & Marion are here with an emergency episode about the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the state of the British monarchy, and how Marion is processing all this as an American, British, and Nigerian citizen. They also get into how pop culture portrayals of “relatable royals” help perpetuate the public’s support of a monarchy that doesn’t need to exist anymore. Brian discovers that King Charles and Prince Andrew are two different but still heinous people.

    Where The Teachers At?

    Brian & Marion get into the current state of public education and why teachers are leaving in droves. They also spend not nearly enough time singing Abbott Elementary's praises, and Brian manages to sneak in a history lesson because of course he does.

    The Charming Faces of American Exceptionalism

    Brian & Marion are back, baybee! And to kick off season 5, Brian is finally letting Marion run loose with her obsession over the relationship between Hollywood and the Pentagon, and her long-standing grudge against Jim Halpert. They also discuss Top Gun: Maverick's stunning (but not shocking) cultural dominance this summer, Chris Pratt's post-2017 transformation, and what they're reading/watching.

    Redefining Health as a Public Good (live)

    Brian & Marion speak at UNC’s 42nd Minority Health Conference Body & Soul: The Past, Present, and Future of Health Activism, hosted by the Gillings School of Public Health’s Minority Health Caucus. They get into it with public health students about what the last year of COVID-19 and quarantine has revealed to us about our sense of collective responsibility, and how we can redefine public health as an essential public good and health access as a right. (This episode was recorded on February 26, 2021).  Don't forget to nominate At The Intersection for Best Local Podcast here: https://vote.indyweek.com/out-and-about/best-local-podcast

    2021: Our Eyes on the Future, History's Eyes on Us

    Brian & Marion kick off season 4 with some visioning: what do we want to see in 2021? Put another way, what do we need to leave in 2020? Brian instantaneously breaks his off-mic promise to not talk about history, while Marion manages to keep herself from going on a thirst rant about the men of One Night in Miami.  What we're reading: www.at-the-intersection.com/further-reading/2021/2/7/what-were-reading-our-eyes-on-the-future

    Tall Grass Food Box and a More Just Food System

    Brian and Marion are back with a Thanksgiving episode! Note: This episode was recorded in August 2020. Brian sits down with our friends Derrick Beasley, Gabrielle E.W. Carter, and Gerald Harris, the co-founders of Tall Grass Food Box, a CSA that distributes fresh produce from North Carolina's Black farmers to residents and restaurants around the Triangle. They talk through what inspired Tall Grass's creation, food justice, and of course, how they want their reparations.

    Gene Demby and the Anti-Blackness of Black Exceptionalism

    Brian & Marion chop it up with Code Switch co-host and Philly boy Gene Demby about how Black people in predominantly white institutions metabolize white supremacy and anti-Blackness, and why so many "exceptional" Black people hold on to the idea that other Black people don't like them. They also get into how Kamala Harris's career won't save us, how LLC Twitter and Passport Twitter can't even save themselves, and - of course - how Gene wants his reparations.  What we're reading: https://www.at-the-intersection.com/further-reading/2020/8/23/what-were-reading-exceptional-negroes

    Food Politics: You Are How You Eat

    Brian & Marion bring you a king-sized episode to talk all things food -- what cooking means to them, how access to food gets determined, policed, and stigmatized, and how Americans bring other cultures' food into their comfort zone. They also share their own cooking hashtags - #teniadetreats and #eatpangea - and favorite cooking tv shows.  What we're reading: https://www.at-the-intersection.com/further-reading/2020/8/9/what-were-reading-food-politics
