Find Someone Who You Can Talk To Like This
It feels like catharsis listening Democracy-ish. I’m like, yes. Totally. Oh my god, you are so right! That makes me angry, too! And another thing.... But then I’m just in the room by myself listening to two people talk about politics and culture the way I like to talk about politics and culture and, too often, not able to.
Hello
I just found out about this podcast and I'm glad its here because it's good for younger black people to have a voice in politics 😁
Refreshing
The passion of Danielle and optimism of Touré keep me listening.
