  • Why do they vote

    I would love for you to do a show on those people that fully support trump and his Supreme Court and all the climate change denying that accompanies that who in their personal lives live like it’s the end of days. Who have dozens of solar panels and have perfected the art of preserving food. I have seen this first hand and am astounded. I want to know why they do this. Why support these dangerous politics when you’re aware how the planet is changing

  • Riveting and passionate

    I can feel Jermaine’s passion through his voice. He’s unearthed many of the unknowns of black history for me. I recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to learn about the parts of American history that have been omitted or whitewashed to make the masses feel “comfortable”.

  • Excellent podcast

    I love that this podcast is based with primary documents and research but the host manages to weave in storytelling and emotion - not to manipulate your emotions, but to bring out the humanity in this history. If Fowler had been your college history professor, you would have made sure to attend every lecture!
