Customer Reviews
The Sky Is Falling
Miles was on fire this episode! Such excellent points raised by Miles, including the need to take into account socioeconomic inequality when trying to promote a democratic agenda/accomplishments to the black community. Student debt relief helped so many but what about those who didn’t go to college? How are we making schools better so kids want to go to college, and how are we going to take on criminal justice reform? Great episode - thank you!

Always love the topics and the information I learn. Keeps me fresh with what’s going on behind the scenes of our world. I always start my Tuesday with coffee and this pod. Thank you!
Why such bad Audio issues???
Guys your Podcast is amazing but as a listener it just sounds like a bad zoom call half the time now. What has gone on with your audio issues the last few episodes??? there is either someone’s mic live, and there’s constantly rustling in the background (very distracting) or in this latest episode someone’s dogs barking entirely cutting off DeRay.
Please just mute yourselves when you’re not speaking, or entirely re-record a portion prior to releasing. There is no reason to post a portion that has SO MUCH background interference.
