The album, "White Power Outage Vol. 1" is a culmination of poetic and musical sounds and perspectives from across the globe that has been challenging institutions and individuals across political spectrums to rethink the road toward a harmonious, anti-racist human society. Two of the album's collaborators, Deniz dee!colonize Lopez and Genesis Blu join Garrett to talk about this project and its impact, alongside the project's Executive Producer, Nick Cooper. Scott revisits the issue of an opera singer's problematic use of face paint, and invites listeners to decide how far-off change is by surveying the programming of their local arts institutions. The guys spend the TRILLOQUY speaking to a recent local election that's blazed a trail in the fight for renters' rights.
