This podcast will touch on various topics that affect my community, including politics, pop culture, and some sports. The 81 Bridge will introduce different perspectives. Many times there's a disconnection with communication, and someone's point of view goes unnoticed. My goal is to BRIDGE that disconnection one episode at a time. I hope you find enjoyment, inspiration, understanding, and, yes, some laughter!!!

    Chaos Down To The Capital (They Was Wildin)

    Happy New Year!!! For the first episode of 2021, The 81 Bridge is joined by Al. He hopped on to share his perspective, on recent events from January 6, as a vet and as law enforcement officer . LK and Al discussed their thoughts about MAGA storming the capital. Like most of the country, LK can't wrap her mind around the military not stepping in sooner. They spoke on the BLM protest and MAGA protest, and the difference in law enforcement and military response to each group. Is the White privilege real or nah?

    The 81 Bridge is joined by a panel of voters, from different parts the country with different backgrounds, to discuss the upcoming elections and why it's important to vote this year.

Overly Opinionated ,

Great Take Aways

Urban insight. Inspiring words. You’ll want to do something differently after listening.
