This week, contributors Rena Karefa-Johnson and Matt Ruby return to discuss the recent March For Our Lives as well as former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Steven’s call to repeal the 2nd Amendment. We’re also joined by Jacqueline Soller to discuss the recently released movie, Isle Of Dogs. Along the way, we’ll also hear from Kirby, who told us about her appreciation for the 1960s and how she found her identity; Radio Dispatch’s John Knefel shares his thoughts on Donald Trump’s pick of John Bolton to be his next National Security Advisor; and we take an exclusive early listen to a performance by Meklit from their upcoming session for BTR Live Studio.
