    APR 2

    Episode 71 - Dr. Butch Ware

    For Episode 71 of The HipHopHumboldt Podcast, I had the privilege of being able to interview Dr. Butch Ware, California's Green Party gubernatorial candidate! It was an amazing conversation. We talked about his VP run, his current campaign policies from homelessness to ICE, local issues such as Indigenous sovereignty and free speech on campus, and we even got into a conversation about Hip Hop! Some people might not know he is one half of a group called Slum Prophecy. The music is on point and well worth a listen! We also talked about the diss tracks he has put out on this campaign trail, and the roots and power of Hip Hop as an art form. Dr. Ware was dropping gems and knowledge throughout the podcast episode. This episode is absolutely worth your time, give it a listen! If we can get Dr. Ware into that governor seat, we can literally change the world. Imagine a world where Dr .Ware is the governor of California and then went on to be the President of the United States. We might actually be able to turn this thing around.

  6. Episode 69 - OccupyCalPoly

    MAR 16

    Episode 69 - OccupyCalPoly

    For Episode 69 of The HipHopHumboldt Podcast, I had the privilege to interview 2 students from Cal Poly Humboldt who were willing to speak about the last 2 sit in protests that happened in February 2026 on campus in Arcata. We spoke about the Ethical Investment Declaration, how the first sit-in went, how the second sit-in went, and a lot about the failures of the University to listen to and honor the demands of the students, including ensuring none of the schools investments are tied up with companies that are involved with war or imperialism. The students also have demanded that the University implement a Sanctuary policy, and they are also fighting on behalf of the Teamsters Union who was striking for better wages. It was amazing to hear first hand accounts of how the protests went, and it was striking to hear how poorly Cal Poly Humboldt has handled the situation. Many thanks to the brave students who are standing up for what’s right, especially the students that were willing to come on and give their accounts. Stay tuned, the next episode features an interview with Rick Toledo discussing the bogus charges he has received for supporting the students engaging in the most recent sit in at Nelson Hall on campus.

    Episode 68 - Rick Toledo

    For Episode 68 of The HipHopHumboldt Podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing local activist and community builder, Rick Toledo! Rick has been doing great work for our community on campus and off. He has been organizing with the Humboldt chapter of Students For A Democratic Society at Cal Poly for the last few years, and we spoke about some interesting topics! Rick talked to us about the Occupy Cal Poly movement and what happened on campus last year when the students occupied Siemens Hall in solidarity against the genocide that has been happening in Palestine. We talked about the law enforcement response, with law enforcement responding from up and down the state to slow down the movement. spoke about what SDS Humboldt has been doing since, including how they have continued the movement to get Cal Poly Humboldt to divest from military industrial corporations. In the second hour, we talked about quite a few topics including the beautiful work our friends from Humboldt 4 Palestine have done for our community, and we also spoke about other activism and groups that have been making things happen in Humboldt County. To end the episode, we discussed the newly formed Humboldt Anti-War Committee and the work that has begun to push local governments to divest from war and imperialism. This was a great episode and it was my pleasure to interview Rick and have him in the studio! Stay tuned for more episodes in 2026 and thanks to Rick and all the guests that have given their time for The HipHopHumboldt Podcast in 2025!
