IN THIS EPISODE:
In this short-and-sweet episode, we take a break from talking politics to share what we’re reading and watching this summer to rest and unwind.
We talk Nikole Hannah-Jones’ 1619 Project and the latest news about her power move to Howard; we denounce any slander about NBC’s This Is Us, and we discuss the books on our list from James Patterson murder mysteries to Harvard professor Jesse McCarthy’s essay collection, Who Will Pay Reparations for My Soul.
