January 14, 2023 011423 What is Code-Switching? (Part 2)
Send us a Text Message.
The second half we discuss code-switching or ‘talking White” as well as why Black people will sometimes switch up their dialect, cadence, tone, and even posture when interacting with White people or people in positions of authority. We give insight into this phenomenon and why it’s necessary for Black people to essentially be bilingual in America.

December 10, 2022 Civic Cipher 121022 How is This Guy Running for President Again? (Part 1)
Send us a Text Message.
Today's episode begins with us going through the many things that have made headlines in the past year regarding the former president and how none of it seems to significantly quell the enthusiasm behind his movement. While we appreciate that some right-wing leaders have finally decided to acknowledge his toxicity, it is simply too little and too late. Furthermore, it seems to have had no impact on his actual voting base.
