beauty as politics…
…politics as beauty
omar’s story blew me away with insight and poignant richness
i can’t wait for more
thank you for doing this kind of work
Amazing
I’m glad I didn’t write a review comparing this to This American Life before hearing the host say that directly. Amazing writing, production, and solidaristic values.
I needed this!!
Indeed this was the “commie This American Life” that I needed. Such good stories. Such good production. Such needed politics.
