I was just going to share the “F your water fountain” series with a friend, and thought I’d share it here too. It started in April 2021. Find it in this podcast feed.

I binged this entire podcast in a couple days and I cannot wait for the next season. Every episode is well thought out and fully engaging. I have learned so much about racism and deep betrayals that have been committed and continue to occur daily. I can’t recommend it enough.
Wow

Like many others, I’ve never felt compelled to review a podcast despite being an avid listener. But wow, everyone needs to listen to this. Fresh Air introduced me to Saidu Tejan-Thomas and Resistance and I’m so grateful for it. Each episode is masterfully told and produced, and the show’s theme seems to grow more and more expansive with each episode. And the music! Thank you to the team behind this for doing such incredible work.
