  • Amazing debut episode.

    Wow! Such a quality educational open on redlining and segregation. Really well done. The guest blew me away, too. Such a clear connection between the problems of racism within liberalism - far too many liberals support anti-racism on paper, but my how they clutch their pearls at the sight of a real black man. I was really impressed with the guest’s ability to summarize so many issues endemic to black communities across the US. Really well done.
