I’m a 66 year old white lady and when I grow up I hope I can be half the human being you all are. I listen every week to you with delight and grief and outrage at this world. You make me bigger and I love you all but I have to shout out especially to Mr Miles E Johnson for being SO brilliant

Today’s episode really helped me make sense of the journey toward cruelty our nation has traveled since the 80s.

This podcast is underrated, definitely a hidden gem among the many great podcasts Crooked Media puts out. DeRay, Sharhonda and Myles are great hosts! I find their thoughts very refreshing and authentic overall.
