Ron DeSantis's decision to deny him a pardon and renewed threats to democratic participation in his state. But in spite of it all, Desmond's excitement about people exercising the franchise is infectious.Then, Emmy-winning journalist Soledad O'Brien is ready to Disrupt & Dismantle structural racism in her new BET series—and to call out cable news for its role in spreading disinformation.Plus: Hari admits that for him "new music" means Baby Beluga, and Kamau reveals The Goal of Life.Find our guests:Desmond Meade (@desmondmeade) https://floridarrc.com/desmond-meade/Soledad O'Brien (@soledadobrien) https://soledadobrienproductions.comMentioned in the show:Silk Sonic, "Leave the Door Open" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLGHcj_fmAFlorida Rights Restoration Coalition https://floridarrc.comACLU of Florida https://www.aclufl.orgDisrupt & Dismantle https://www.bet.com/shows/disrupt-and-dismantle.htmlComedian and Filmmaker Hari Kondabolu on Comedy, Culture and Maintaining Your Integrity https://www.culturedmag.com/comedian-and-filmmaker-hari-kondabolu-on-comedy-culture-and-maintaining-your-integrity/Brontez Purnell Explores Intimacy and Longing in New Book 100 Boyfriends https://www.culturedmag.com/brontez-purnell-100-boyfriends/ Find us:Hari Kondabolu (@harikondabolu) http://www.harikondabolu.com/W.

  4. Dr. Rhea Boyd + The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears

    2021. 03. 11.

    Dr. Rhea Boyd + The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears

    Do Black people have an attitude problem about the COVID-19 vaccine? Dr. Rhea Boyd says absolutely not—the problem is lack of access to the vaccine and to real information. So she's launched BetweenUsAboutUs, a national campaign with Black doctors, scientists, and health care professionals (and a certain podcast host), to give Black communities the resources they need to make informed choices and get vaccinated.Then Kamau and Hari have the conversation that every politically engaged basketball fan dreams of with Marc J. Spears, Senior NBA writer for The Undefeated. Hear the full story of how the league shut down after the police killing of Jacob Blake, the underappreciated impact NBA players had on the 2020 election, and what it will take for Becky Hammon to get a real shot as the league's first female head coach. Marc also attempts to convert our resident Knicks fan to the Nets. It doesn't work.Plus: Hari's anticolonialist recap of Oprah's takedown of the British royal family.Find our guests:Dr. Rhea Boyd (@RheaBoydMD) https://rheaboyd.comMarc J.

    2021. 03. 04.

    Neal Katyal + Amber Ruffin + Lacey Lamar

    Amber Ruffin's career is really taking off (FYI, The Amber Ruffin Show is now on NBC), and she and her sister Lacey Lamar are as close as ever, trading stories about the crazy everyday racist behavior Lacey encounters in their hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. Their book You Won't Believe What Happened to Lacey is necessary reading for anyone who doesn't understand how enough microagressions and you'll want to flip a table. Hari and Kamau also talk to top litigator and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal about facing the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland vs. the insurrectionists, and how the right uses affirmative action to divide Asian Americans from Black and Latino Americans.

    Marc Lamont Hill + Kamau's Mom

    Can we talk about Palestine? Dr. Marc Lamont Hill (who, admittedly, calls himself "a prisoner of hope") says we can, and that Americans are ready to even if our government isn't. He joins Hari and Kamau for a conversation that encompasses Michael Che, Bill Clinton, the Fourth Geneva Convention, and the Columbia House record club. Then Kamau's Mom, Janet Cheatham Bell, talks about structural racism in healthcare and her distrust of the pharmaceutical industry—and why none of that stopped her from getting the COVID-19 vaccine. Plus: a surprisingly-detailed analysis of the NBA MVP race.Find our guests: Dr. Marc Lamont Hill (@marclamonthill) https://www.marclamonthill.comJanet Cheatham Bell (@CheathamBell) https://www.janetcheathambell.com Mentioned in the show:Marc Lamont Hill + Mitchell Plitnick Except for Palestine https://thenewpress.com/books/except-for-palestinePlaygrounds for Palestine https://playgroundsforpalestine.orgUncle Bobbie's Coffee & Books https://www.unclebobbies.com Find us:Hari Kondabolu (@harikondabolu) http://www.harikondabolu.com/W.
