  • Robert Wright “The Barn”

    Is impeccable! I love Mr. Wright’s story telling and how he weaves things together. This interview by far is my favorite. I definitely have to get this book. My family both sides are from Mississippi and this was my reluctance to read it. My grandmother and mother told me many stories and she is an incredible story teller. I say is because although she is my ancestor she is still with me! Both are now my ancestors. Mom transitioned 3 months ago.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Impact of the Removal of Black Women from the Workplace
Q: If you're at a job right now being discriminated against, there are very few places you can go. What do you tell somebody who has been pushed out, cannot find a job, and has bills to pay?
McKenzie says she would reduce her expenses and rely on community, shared resources, and people to lean on and build with. She recommends creating income outside a job through dividends, side hustles, or a business, and planning an exit from each job.
What is Justice? My Discussion with Jeremy Busby's Attorney
Q: What's the visitation process?
Seth Stern says it involves submitting forms, but prison visits can be canceled at the last minute. Jeremy Busby adds that a media visit can include a camera crew and microphone, with visits limited to one hour every 90 days.
What is Justice? My Discussion with Jeremy Busby's Attorney
Q: What is being done or can anything be done to lessen Jeremy's sentence? Is there a game plan around getting him out?
Seth Stern says the most productive focus is Jeremy Busby's upcoming parole eligibility, rather than seeking a pardon from Texas officials.
Octavia Butler’s Prophetic Vision with Garrison Hayes
Q: So how do you jump the shark, you know, and reach people that you would normally reach?
Hayes says he uses a history-focused podcast to reach audiences in their self-curated media spaces, choosing Butler because her imagination connects the past, present, and possible futures.
Octavia Butler’s Prophetic Vision with Garrison Hayes
Q: How did you discover her?
Garrison Hayes had heard of Octavia Butler and her books but became engaged with her work after the Altadena and Palisades fires led him to learn that she had imagined similar crises.
