    • Ep. 2: Civics, Not the Honda Model
      Unlike driving the car, it's our responsibility to participate in one of the most important acts surrounding American democracy - voting.  This episode gets into the fundamentals of voting and takes a look into some of the details that impact the upcoming General Election on November 3rd. There's no such thing as your vote doesn't count, because it does.  It's our civic responsibility, one where we should take pride in participating in the process and vote for those who we believe will work on our behalf in various offices.

    • Ep. 1: American Genocide
      Come grab a seat at the table as this episode takes a look into law enforcement and their place within the society.  Considering the current state of affairs, language like de-fund the police, systematic police reform, or reconstruction of training is often the main talking point within various settings.  This is due to the consistent trend of misconduct when engaged with people of color, primarily African Americans, for what often tends to be nothing more than prejudices and/or stereotypes.  This episode addresses the message of #BlackLivesMatter (not to be confused with the organization) and the alternate message of #BlueLivesMatter.  You'll also hear about the lack of standards maintained by officers, mainly when off duty, as well as the absence of justice on both the local and federal levels.

    • BROADCAST TRAILER
      The introduction of something good, something new. This show was created for the purpose of speaking truth to power about historical and present-day American issues that impact the African American demographic. This gave our host the idea to deliver a sociological perspective as a means of empowering, informing and transforming the viewpoints of listeners to recognize us as a whole human, compared to a 60% census value of a person for the purpose of Southern congressional representation.

      On today’s episode, which is the second of a four-part block titled #STCBlackHistorySeries, we’re going to look at the nature of the United States prior to the enforcement of this important form of legislation and where we are in today’s society. What is the Emancipation Proclamation? Why was this form of legislation established? How has this legislation shaped relations between the majority and minority cultures? What is the significance of Juneteenth to Black culture? Why is Juneteenth not celebrated as a national holiday in America? Is the Juneteenth celebration just as important as Black History Month?
