Some of My Best Friends Are… is a podcast hosted by Khalil Gibran Muhammad and Ben Austen, two best friends who grew up together on the South Side of Chicago in the 1980s. Today a Harvard professor and an award-winning journalist, Khalil and Ben still go to each other to talk about their experiences with the absurdities and intricacies of race in America. In Some of My Best Friends Are… with Khalil Gibran Muhammad and Ben Austen, they invite listeners into their unfiltered conversations about growing up together in a deeply-divided country, and navigating that divide as it exists today.

Hosts Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi are joined by Hugo Lowell, political enterprise reporter for The Guardian, to talk about all things Trump. What’s the state of the investgiations into Trump? Will he be indicted? How does the January 6th Committee’s work get impacted after the midterm elections? We ask all these questions and more.
