  • Disappointed HBCU Grad

    This was my favorite podcast since it first launched but took a dive once Tiffany left. The power three era with Tiffany, Angela, and Andrew was so consistent with respectful yet passionate debate and diverse yet friendly perspectives. Once Bakari joined and started whining about progressive Dems (see other reviews that attest to this) and inserting his Z1onist views I stopped listening. Tried to come back and support but it was always the same with him. Really tragic downfall for what started a... more

  • Let Maurice Mitchell speak!

    I was really looking forward to hearing the conversation between the working families party progressives and moderates in the black community. Yall jumped on him so bad. I feel like Black Progressives are being drowned out and any defense we have of progressive policies are met with weird backlash. I would love a public’s panel of different ideologies with the goal of 3 main things that each ideology can agree on. We need to stop being petty (eh em Bakari) and let’s figure this out.

  • A lot of strengths, one major weakness

    The conversations here are wonderful and fleshed out and relevant to the Black community for sure. Lately however Angela’s habit of interrupting, speaking over, or just disregarding the other two’s opinions and thoughts are becoming untenable as a listener. Even small interruptions such as correcting the pronunciation of “Colorado” disrupts the cadence of conversation for no point other than correcting someone for the sake of doing it. It’s seeming more and more like Andrew and Bakari are the on... more

Rooting for Everyone Black in the Primaries ft. Joy Reid
Q: Hey again, Native Land family. My question is about the Supreme Court. So every time that a case goes to the Supreme Court, I get nervous and very anxious because of a lot of the judges that are on the Supreme Court. So my question is, what is it going to take or what needs to be done to remove some of the people on the Supreme Court? And do you all think that that's even a possibility?
The hosts discuss impeachment, adding seats to the bench, and tightening ethics rules as potential paths, while highlighting political realities and the need for strategic democracy to address concerns about integrity and balance on the Court.
Everybody Profits From Black Culture. Do Black Men? | Angela Rye SoloPod
Q: What is your highest hope for how this data should be used at the local government level?
To adopt state-level and local commissions for Black men and boys, implement dedicated educational and workforce strategies, and actively engage communities to translate data into actionable programs that increase enrollment, retention, and economic opportunity.
Everybody Profits From Black Culture. Do Black Men? | Angela Rye SoloPod
Q: Given your background in political science, why is it important to bring data into conversations around policy?
Data grounding policy discussions helps move beyond anecdotal impressions to targeted, effective interventions; it also guides where resources and reforms will have the most impact, such as education, housing, and workforce development.
The Rise of the Working Class Candidate
Q: Can you explain the difference between Democrats, Working Families Party, and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)?
The Working Families Party is a grassroots third party focusing on everyday working people and building pipelines from local offices to federal representation, often using fusion voting where available to cross-endorse candidates. The party emphasizes practical majoritarian policies and broad coalitions rather than strict ideological labels; meanwhile, Democrats and DSAs are part of the broader political ecosystem, with WFP aiming to expand participation and address power imbalances, particularly in local contests.
