Rhymes Media Group

Dr. Rhymes flied solo once again on Rhymes Reasons. A powerful dissection of the 2016 Presidential campaign. Hard words, for a hard time. Listen, only, on the Rhymes Media Group page on BlogTalkRadio. It was a an insightful and vibrant 2016 election autopsy. The political blood, sinew, ligaments and organs of the body politic were closely examined

BTW, especially good listen for 3rd & 4th party voters. Get past the choppiness... it's worth it.

It's #FirstFriday and you know what that means? Nah, you really dont. yes, you know that on first Fridays of the month, Dr Rhymes is the host AND the guest, but what you don't know about this Friday is, that it will be a special 2 hour pre-election show (and starting an hour early) - but that's not all. It will also be the first Rhymes Reasons, or any broadcast of Rhymes Media Group, to be on Facebook Live. That's right, we will be looking for you on Facebook as well. This gives you even more of an opportunity to be a part of the audience.

So join us as we talk about all things political for a whole 2 hours - I will be drinking plenty of water of course. So, remember the time, 5pm Central Standard Time; remember the day, Friday and remember the date: November 4, 2016. See you there; see you then.

Rhymes Reasons is happy to announce that on Friday October 28 @ 6pm CST, we will be talking with Coleen Rowley former FBI Special Agent and now a prominent voice in the anti-endless war and anti-torture movement. Coleen served in the FBI for 24 years and was a leading voice in trying to sound the alarm that an attack by terrorists in the US was imminent BEFORE 9/11. Dr. Rhymes will be discussing with her the possible foreign policy concerns that we face with all the presidential candidates moving forward. Please join us for an hour of compelling and informative talk.

This is the second in a four part series titled: The American Default Setting of Whiteness. Dr. Rhymes talks about what whiteness and pseudo-white supremacy, materially, looks like in a society. How do we tangibly know that a society and country has its default setting at whiteness? Approximately 12 minutes long. Don't miss it @ 6:30 pm CST.

This is the first, ever, Life in The Electric Chair podcast, here, on the Rhymes Media Group. These prodcasts run no more than 20 minutes (usually closer to ten). This is the first in a four part series titled: The American Default Setting of Whiteness. Dr. Rhymes will deconstruct the when, the where and the how we came to this place that we now occupy in American society and culture. Don't miss it @ 8pm CST.

We have a wonderful Rhymes Reasons for you this Friday 6pm CST. Our guest will be Pamela Lewis, teacher, writer and author of the book, Teaching While Black: A New Voice on Race and Education. The Huffington Post said it this way: "Teaching While Black makes a broad call for a more culturally responsive curriculum. In detailing Lewis’ own experiences during her first decade of teaching, it takes readers inside classrooms where students are sometimes distressingly poor and deeply uncomfortable in their own skin."

The Fordham News had this to say:  "Teaching While Black is filled with anecdotes of Lewis’ students—how they struggled, how they bonded with her over music, how she could relate to them and their families. It is Lewis’ hope that curricula in communities of color will continue to grow to better reflect their diverse student body, and that the city will attract more black and Latino teachers. A dearth of knowledge and education about one’s own culture, she said, contributes to low self-esteem and can lead students to struggle in and out of school."

Be warned, Pamela Lewis is a no-holds barred, authentic, intelligent, take-no-prisoners conversationalist, so this ought to be real fun! Join us for an hour of honest talk and insightful conversation. I am really looking forward to this episode of Rhymes Reasons and so should you.

I am proud to announce that we have our next guest for Rhymes Reasons lined up and it is John Kiriakou. Former CIA officer and heroic whistleblower - and he just happens to be in my personal Courage Hall of Fame. He was one of the first government officials to reveal the American torture of detainees and prisoners. John is an associate fellow with the Institute for Policy Studies, and contributor for Huffington Post. He appears in the 2014 documentary Silenced, a film about three National Security whistleblowers fight to reveal the darkest and illegal secrets regarding America's pseudo-war on terror.

John is also an all-around good guy - isn't it nice when the good guys are GOOD guys? Now, because of certain scheduling issues, we had to bump up the time of Rhymes Reasons to 12 pm CST on Friday. It would be great if you could join us - even better if you could call-in - and I'm really looking forward to this. Back-to-back great guests, this host is blessed.

Rhymes Reasons host Dr. Edward Rhymes will be interviewing Minnesota anti-racism activist Monique Cullars Doty about her involvement in the fight against police brutality. We'll also discuss her very personal connection to the issue of police violence against the Black community. Join us for a half hour of insightful and engaging conversation. Now, don't leave it completely up to us, call in and join in the dialogue. We'd love to hear from you.
