Disclosure: I learned about this podcast because I know one of the producers. That said, I wanted to review it because I found it a really interesting listen about the way that several social justice campaigns in the US took action that eventually shifted people’s thinking on several hot-button topics (eg the death penalty, the war on poverty and gun ownership). If you have any interest in American sociopolitical movements of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, give this one a shot.
