Most episodes are recorded quite a bit in advance, so there’s not much in the way of current events that get touched on in interviews. That’s why I’m putting out this “Very Special Episode” to share some of my thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement, and hopefully encourage listeners to embrace Change & the long overdue task of dismantling White Supremacy…
