As Black Lives Matter protests continue across the nation there's a question that's being pushed more and more to the front: Are white people a help or a distraction in these spaces? Garrett and Scott dive into this conversation as it relates to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict and urge listeners to see the reverberations of racial injustice in the court system within all institutions - even the arts! The guys honor the late Young Dolph, unpack a violent situation at a local theater, and more. Rhapsody Snyder and Orbert Davis from the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic return for part 2 of their conversation with Garrett, which leans on "Third Stream" as the key toward a more accessible and equitable arts ecosystem for future generations.
