  • Juneteenth

    Great conversation a little over simplified but very informative. The classification of the natives were changed with laws. Thus changing them to negros and to keep the classification of native you had to pay. That’s where the term $5 Indian comes into play they paid to be called natives. When the laws and predatory practices that’s how we were wiped from the history

  • Used a lot of Slurs towards other communities that aren’t her own…

    I love Mandi’s other pods, but this pod is becoming slightly racist. The most recent convo on DEI, Mandi used the word Spic multiple times. She did not need to use it as much as she did, and then used multiple other derogatory words for other communities. This pod is hard because Mandi can’t ever see outside her perspective and lived experience. Since she’s not Latina, or a little person, or has a learning disability, she thinks it is okay to use these words, it is wrong. We should all be respec... more

  • Too many ads

    I think this is an iHeart/Black Effect issue, but 4 minutes worth of ads before the pod, and during each ad break is so ridiculous. This podcast is good when people aren’t talking over each other and letting one another (especially Jason when he’s virtual) get a thought out. Also, not a sports person so I’m always confused when yall start talking sports. Anyway, Mandii, I support you and hope this podcast succeeds!

  • Audio issues!

    I love the podcast, long time supporter. But the audio is lower than the ads and every other podcast I listen to even at max volume in my AirPods. It is so low. It sounds like it’s being recorded in the next room as opposed to the actual studio please fix this.
