Rebel Spirit
Rebel Spirit is a brand new podcast series from Akilah Hughes (Crooked Media’s “What a Day”) about her return to her small town of Florence, Kentucky with a mission to change her high school’s mascot from a Confederate General into a Biscuit. The show features moving interviews with everyone from the artist behind “Gritty,” The Philadelphia Flyers’ viral mascot, to principals at schools across the nation who have made this change. In speaking to people at every inflection point of the issue of problematic mascots, Rebel Spirit endeavors to make the process of correcting historic wrongs less of a bummer.

Akilah and the team have done a great job with this topic. I find myself waiting excitedly for each episode to come out. Thank you!

I love the way Akilah and her team have tackled this topic - it’s informing and fascinating without being overtly self-righteous. I’d listen to Akilah talk about any topic. More Dan please! Go biscuits!
An exceptional podcast

On its face, this seems like a podcast that could be a very one note. I was pleasantly surprised to find how deep and wide their research and coverage about mascots and their history goes…and it’s INTERESTING. Part of this is because Akilah Hughes is an excellent storyteller, the other part is that how we represent our sports teams is such an interesting reflection of where we are as the society in that moment. if I am this invested and this interested and I don’t really care about sports at all, I believe that almost anyone will enjoy and learn from this podcast.
Funny & Fascinating

This podcast has everything: schools slandering James Dean’s legacy, Gritty origin stories, mascot head physics. Come for the historical racism that plagues our school traditions, stay for the genuinely fascinating history of mascot culture.
