This episode is hosted by Vida and Trevor. In today’s episode, we have returning guest Jason England and Bertrand Cooper to talk about their recent articles. Severe poverty was the backdrop to most of Bertrand’s life; today, he looks for avenues in education, research, and writing where he can either assist the poor directly or help others reflect upon that perspective. Jason England is an assistant professor of creative writing at Carnegie Mellon University. Today, the Sharks and guests discuss Black representation in pop culture. This topic goes so deep we had to drop the bit rate of the audio file just to fit it all in! This is a conversation you do not want to miss.

It’s back! White Canon returns with a breakdown of Donnie Darko. This episode is hosted by Trevor and Ken. Joining the Sharks for this round are Felix Biederman of Chapo Trap House and Jack Wagner of Yeah, But Still. Working thru the mysteries of the movie while paralleling the time period to their own childhoods, the Sharks and guests parse out the weird only to discover everything they thought the movie was about is not what its creator had in mind… One thing they DO all agree on though is, the soundtrack rips.

This episode is hosted by Trevor. Today we have James Hennesey on the show to talk about, the business of being a person… or is it the person as a business… Wait, maybe it’s “being in the business of being a person” … James is here to talk about Tech and the business of selling people the idea of the person being a business. Or maybe, how big tech sells us the product to sell ourselves until they can better sell us for us… Honestly, this episode is a head spinner and you’re just gonna have to listen to find out for yourself. James is currently the editor of Business Insider Australia. He has appeared or been syndicated in The Guardian, The Outline, SBS, the ABC, The Monthly, Business Insider, Yahoo! Finance, MSN, and more.

This episode is hosted by Vida, Trevor, and Ken. In today’s episode the Sharks go down for down and pound for pound w/ collegiate sports. From how the disgruntled whites don’t want the players to be paid, how Black players are still seen as having “special gifts” rather than “rigorous training” and viewing players as commodities, to the bottom line that money runs the game – one thing becomes most certainly clear; the kids aren’t wrong, the rules are wrong.
