In Honor of Breonna

"This week, the hosts visit the Breonna Taylor case, just shy of two years after her death and a week after Brett Hankison, one of the officers involved, was acquitted of his remaining charges. They also discuss increased police militarization, no-knock raids, and overcoming "revolution fatigue" that has caused such stories to fade from public view since the Uprising."

If your mind and heart are open you’ll hear some amazing truths and fresh perspective. If you’re a baby you won’t like it.

If any of you racist leftist trash were honest, we would hear about your research into slavery and other atrocities by your ancestors that you are planning to make reparations for. Then maybe you would begin to be legitimate.
Very pleasant and listenable

In my opinion, this podcast is soothing where so many other conversation podcasts are kind of manic. The hosts are not slow but they are calm and listenable. Maybe in part bc they are both vocalists? Idk. It’s just really nice to have on in the background. I’m white, and for me this podcast really fleshes out my understanding of the American experience. Plus these two are just smart. It’s fun to listen to them ponder and discuss.
