  • Love learning about CA but reporters intentionally willfully ignorant

    Update: came back 2yrs later to try it again. Episode about Russell city/German reparations talking about minority Russell City residents receiving $2250 for the land 1965. Then the reporter comes in and compared it to today’s price. My grandparents bought a home in 1957 for $13,000 in Los Altos hills. Family sold years ago buts it’s now worth $6 million. The ethical reporter thing to do is compare the price to similar properties in the region at the time. But no. They have to be intentionally d... more

  • Love learning about CA but reporters intentionally willfully ignorant

    I love learning about California since I live here, but it’s very frustrating to listen to these reporters with purported “in depth” reporting purposely neglect certain aspects of episodes. I just listened to a show on how the native peoples land was stolen and they’re slowly buying it back. The very next episode played on how black Americans settled Allensworth. In neither episode did they mention that even these black Americans were on stolen land. Why purposely ignore this fact? One needs to ... more

  • Mixed race episode was spot on

    I’m a new listener and thoroughly enjoyed the discussion with Kip Fulbeck on mixed race identity. Being mixed race myself, I identified with the discussion of the hosts and guests. I look forward to the next episodes teased and hope one of them includes a spotlight on UCSB’s class mentioned in this episode. I took the class in the 90s and it was phenomenal. Great podcast and I enjoyed the content and pace from the hosts in this 11/5/21 episode.
