The State of Our Union is… Mar 07, 2024

Show notes

Welcome home y’all!

A spot for Nikki Haley voters with Biden? With Haley’s drop out of the presidential race, we look ahead at what’s to come for the two leading candidates following Super Tuesday.

And, President Biden is set to deliver his State of the Union address. We'll analyze what key messages we hope to hear and how they might impact his presidential bid.

In state politics, we spend a little time unpacking the rhetoric of North Carolina’s republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson and the hosts differing views on how or whether to keep Trump supporters in the fold.

Plus, we'll delve deep into the controversy surrounding Marilyn Mosby, the Baltimore City State’s Attorney who prosecuted officers in the Freddie Gray case and implemented a robust reform agenda that law enforcement is still mad about.. Facing sentencing on trumped up charges in May, we have to ask how someone so right is treated so wrong?!

Why “Native Land Pod"? | MiniPod Mar 04, 2024

Show notes

Welcome home y’all!

On this MiniPod hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum and Tiffany Cross answer a question we’ve gotten many times: why “Native Land” Pod?

The hosts explain the inspiration behind the title of the show, and the show as a whole. Drawing from their own experience, they critique mainstream news, share how they came together, and why they felt they needed to create a new “home” for their audience.

You can find the lyrics to Lift Every Voice and Sing, the Black National Anthem, at this link.

The audio for this episode is from promotional material created for the launch of the podcast.

Blacks for Trump Isn’t a Thing Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

Welcome home y’all!

On this week’s episode, no big surprises in the Michigan primary election, but both parties are showing significant signs of dissent. The hosts examine what the results mean for the winners of the primary (Trump and Biden) as they look ahead to super Tuesday.

DEI remains under attack. This week the Alabama senate passes a bill that outlaws funding for state-run DEI initiatives. Will black athletes roll tide or bounce? One mayor is on the frontlines of this issue.

Angela delivers an update on the Fani Willis case and the hosts have a spirited debate on the boundaries of professional decorum and ethical obligations in the Fani Willis hearing.

And in Politics Are Everywhere– we got beef with Wendy’s. Wendy’s is planning to institute “surge” pricing like Uber and Lyft, a move that would disproportionately affect black and brown communities.

Thank you for submitting State Of The Union questions!! The hosts will answer as many as they can get to in advance of the speech next Thursday.

So We’re Prosecuting Fani Now? Feb 22, 2024

Show notes

Welcome home y’all!

On episode seven of Native Land Pod, Biden gets pushed on racial justice by black members of congress. Meanwhile, Trump launches a sneaker brand to help him pay off the $355 million dollars that he owes New York state. Plus, the hosts debate why some black voters are leaning towards Trump.

With the Michigan primary on the horizon, we want to know– who y’all got Michigan?? Rashida Tlaib calls for Michigan democrats not to vote for Biden. In Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis answers questions about her relationship with her lead prosecutor in a closely followed election fraud case involving Trump and his allies. The romantic liaison could put the case in jeopardy, but new evidence favors Willis.

In Politics Are Everywhere– we have to talk about Beyoncé’s historic new country single, Texas Hold ‘Em. And the Alabama Supreme Court makes reference to God and the bible in a landmark ruling that declares that embryos are people.

Stick around for your questions at the end!
