Episode 80: A Beautiful Way To Resist Feb 01, 2017

Show notes

Trump's Executive Order had so many in the streets this past weekend. With so much on our minds and hearts, we invite friends Ahmed Ali Akbar (host of our sibling podcast See Something Say Something) and Bim Adewunmi, reporter extraordinaire, to chat with us about Muslim identity and resistance.
Plus, an Iranian man whose in-laws were detained at JFK airport walks us through the experience, and a pair of civil rights lawyers offer tips on how you can help if you're feeling helpless.
Follow Ahmed Ali Akbar at @radbrowndads and Bim Adewunmi at @bimadew. Catch up on episodes of See Something Say Something at buzzfeed.com/seesomethingsaysomething.

Show notes

Inauguration. The Women's March. The first few days of Trump's presidency. It's...a lot. Join us as we reflect wistfully on Obama's presidency, then chat with Joy Reid -- host of the MSNBC political talk show "AM Joy" and co-editor of the new book We Are the Change We Seek: The Speeches of Barack Obama -- about media literacy in the age of "alternative facts," her favorite "Fresh Prince" episode, and of course, punching nazis.

Episode 78: They Didn't Expect Me (with Kim Drew) Jan 18, 2017

Show notes

Kim Drew and Tunde Olaniran pop by to bless the newly-inaugurated stude! *champagne popping emoji*
Tracy and Tunde bring back What Had Happened Was and Tracy tells the tale of narrowly escaping (maybe) being serial killed (or sex orgied.) Tunde, who you may remember from episode 60, does the very important work of giving us an update on what it's like in Flint right now and how to actively help the folks there who *still* do not have clean water. It has been over 600 days.
Kim Drew, a.k.a. Museum Mammy talks about her work in the art world, growing up in the fancy school world and which young contemporary artists' work you should know. She dismantles the idea of the carefree black girl in one blow: she's careful and you're going to love her for it.
Follow Tunde Olaniran and his incredible music — and stay tuned for more of Tunde's talents next week! http://tundeolaniran.com/

Episode 77: 2017 Can't Tell Us Shit Jan 04, 2017

Show notes

Happy New Year! Join us for a very special (read: hungover) episode where the brilliant Stacy-Marie Ishmael, friend of the show and John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford, reads us (nicely), then gives us advice. If you want Stacy-Marie to fix your life and tell you if it's okay to cry at work, then this is the episode for you. We're taking next week off so we can plan some fun stuff for the year ahead. But we'll be back on 1/18, two days before what will surely be one of the saddest days in American history. Here's to fighting the good fight in 2017. Follow Stacy-Marie Ishmael at @s_m_i. Subscribe to the Another Round newsletter at buzzfeed.com/anotherround/newsletter.

Episode 76: Vinegar & Honey (with Susan Rice) Dec 28, 2016

Show notes

Join us for quick trip to DC where we talk to Ambassador Susan Rice—national security advisor to the Obama administration— about Trump & her successor Michael Flynn, Russia & fake news, and Syria & US intervention. She gives us the deets about her signature blue eyeliner and isn't afraid to break out into song. Plus, we ask each other some Black Twitter Verification Questions, because nothing says white supremacy on Twitter like white folks pretending to be black folks (it's as bad as it sounds, y'all).
