| EP 61 | Black Voters And Kamala Harris (with Kenny Walden) | 21 Oct 2024 | 00:50:13 | |
What are the political expectations of the Black electorate, and how much of them should be placed on candidate Harris? Kenny Walden (@2rawtooreal) shares his thorough and unfiltered perspective about the best strategies for Black voters, the financial implications of a Harris presidency, and the current conflict with some corners of Leftist social media.

| EP 60 | Diddy, Jaguar Wright and Accountability | 14 Oct 2024 | 00:46:48 | |
There's been a lot of conversation about Diddy, his current legal troubles, and the rumors surrounding every celebrity remotely linked to him. One of the most prominent voices on the rumor mill is former R&B singer, Jaguar Wright. On this episode radio personality Greg Bryant uses his background in Media Law, to explore what happens when online speculation goes too far, and how modern media is changing the public narrative.

| EP 52 | Kamala and Tim - Controlling the Conversation | 12 Aug 2024 | 00:25:08 | |
Kamala Harris and her new VP pick, Tim Walz are what some might call a "Dream Team." Walz was a bit of an unconventional pick, but anyone who's seen them on stage together would have to acknowledge that he makes the perfect compliment for her. Much like her, he's optimistic, he's plain-spoken and he's... *gasp* joyful. These are words you wouldn't necessarily associate with politics, but they're qualities that have been sorely lacking in our political sphere of late.

| EP 51 | "Red Pill" Culture | with Gerard LeConte | 04 Aug 2024 | 01:17:23 | |
Today, my guest Gerard LeConte and I discuss the ever-growing influence of so-called "Red Pill Culture" on the current Republican Party. From Andrew Tate to Jordan Peterson and now JD Vance, there's no shortage of far-right spokesmen to channel the anger, frustration and loneliness of young men and boys into increasingly toxic viewpoints.

| EP 50 | Madame President? | 29 Jul 2024 | 00:31:33 | |
And just like that, Kamala Harris is now within a stone's throw of the presidency. Today, we're taking a look at how we got here, and I'm evaluating my own thought process around the idea of electing a Black woman as president, and examining how even those of us who think she can do the job can behave as impediments to her actually getting the job.

| EP 49 | Why Did Trump Choose JD Vance? | 22 Jul 2024 | 00:49:13 | |
Donald Trump has chosen his running mate – a newly-minted Senator from the state of Ohio named JD Vance. Many will remember him from the best-selling book he wrote in 2016 called, “Hillbilly Elegy.” JD Vance was a media darling at that time. His book shone a light on the unique struggles of America’s white poor. But festering beneath the surface of this self-proclaimed “conservative with a conscience” was a man who held a special contempt for America’s so-called “liberal elite.” According to his former roommate at Yale law school, he allowed that contempt to lead him down a path of moral decay. JD Vance would not have succeeded in his bid for the Senate without $15 million from PayPal founder Peter Theil. JD Vance’s ascent has been swift and contradictory. In this episode, I’m taking a look at the various factions that had a hand in positioning him to stand a stone’s throw from the presidency.

| EP 48 - Is it Time for Biden to Step Down? | 15 Jul 2024 | 00:28:23 | |
It's the central question on a lot of folks' minds right now -- Should Biden step down? If he does, who will replace him? There are those of us who thought this question would be resolved by now, but it hasn't been. It's time to grapple with the discontent in the Democratic Party and face the question head on -- is it time for Biden to go?

| EP 47 | Should Biden Resign? With Guest Gerard LeConte | 08 Jul 2024 | 00:40:14 | |
Much is being made of Joe Biden's abysmal debate performance against Donald Trump. Predictably, the news media, and many within the Democratic Party have sounded the alarm -- Should Joe Biden step down and allow someone else to take over? Does sticking with the incumbent ruin the Democrats' chances of winning the upcoming election against Donald Trump?

| EP 41 | Why Voting Rights are Under Attack with Qasim Rashid | 27 May 2024 | 00:38:54 | |
Attacks on voting rights are as old as the U.S. itself. Many people are not aware of the long standing history of attacks on this constitutionally protected right. Efforts to restrict voting access have not abated, and it's incumbent upon all of us to understand how these efforts have evolved over the years. All over the U.S., but particularly in the South and in swing states, there are constant attempts to block ballot access for those who are deemed by some as unworthy to participate in the democratic process.

| Bonus Episode! Colors of the Wind | 20 May 2024 | 00:10:36 | |
By now, most people know that the version of the Pocahontas story that was presented in the 1995 Disney film is mostly fiction. But the story behind the composition of the film’s most famous song is not as well known. It was important to lyricist Stephen Schwartz to pay homage to the history and legacy of the Powhatan people on which the film is based, but in true American fashion, the source material he drew from as the inspiration for the song’s brilliant lyrics paints a through line to America’s long history of exploitation and misrepresentation of Native stories and voices.

| EP 40 | Affirmative Action with Qasim Rashid | 06 May 2024 | 00:39:29 | |
For the month of May, we’re delving into some deep-dive discussions with a couple of my favorite mutual creators — first up is human rights lawyer, Qasim Rashid. In this episode, we’re talking over the recent decision by the conservative Supreme Court to do away with race-based affirmative action. Since anti-affirmative action activist Edward Blum used a group of Asian students as his battering ram to take down affirmative action, Qasim and I speak to the issue of alleged anti-Asian discrimination at elite universities, and how this accusation led to a Supreme Court victory against affirmative action, when an earlier bid with a white student had failed to deliver the success Blum wanted. Join us next week for a round-up on the issue of voting rights with Qasim. Beyond The BeaconJoin Bishop Kevin for inspired interviews with Catholic Christians living out their faith!

| EP 39 | Mental Health and the Black Community | 29 Apr 2024 | 00:30:53 | |
I’ve taken some time to look at disparities in health outcomes in the Black community vs. every other racial grouping in the U.S. The numbers are pretty grim. And unfortunately, when we take a look at the mental health profile for Black people as a whole in the U.S., it’s no different.

| EP 38 | Must We Root for "Everybody Black?" | 22 Apr 2024 | 00:29:22 | |
“I’m Rooting for Everybody Black” has become a bit of a rallying cry to indicate our unwavering support for Black creatives, entrepreneurs, techies — anybody that’s repping Black excellence. But the expectation that “Everybody Black” deserves our support can also be an errant one. The death of OJ Simpson brings this topic into greater focus, and it’s worth taking another look at this age-old question in light of what his ascent and downfall meant to the Black community. Are we required to lend our unquestioned support to Black folks simply because they’re “our” people? When is it okay to withdraw our support from Black folks that we deem problematic, and why is this so hard to talk about?

| EP 37 | Medical Racism | 15 Apr 2024 | 00:30:56 | |
Medical racism is one of the most under-addressed topics in discussions around healthcare. Maybe that’s because most people don’t really know what it is, or how deeply it impacts communities of color — particularly Black people. Many don’t know it exists at all. But as you’ll hear in this week’s episode, medical racism can kill. In this week’s podcast, I’m bringing you two Breakdowns on racism within the medical community that highlight the dire state of healthcare within the Black community — cases that provide irrefutable proof that medical disparities do exist along color lines. We’ll discuss the many forms that medical racism can take, and we’ll talk about solutions as well.

| EP 36 | The Politics of White Grievance | 08 Apr 2024 | 00:34:27 | |
White Grievance is big business. And it's increasingly becoming a more reliable winning strategy on the right. As more and more "Trumpists" are elected to political office, we're beginning to see conspiracies like "The Great Replacement Theory" and "white erasure' be mainstreamed by heroes of the right like Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk and Trump himself.

| EP 35 | Voting Rights are Under Attack | 01 Apr 2024 | 00:29:30 | |
There has not been a time in U.S. history where the constitutionally protected right to vote has not been under attack for marginalized groups. It's nothing new. It's just a shame that this is still the case in 2024. I'm covering the attack on voting rights, and getting into the long history of challenges to voting for Black and brown people, young people, etc. How are these tactics being reinforced in 2024? We'll use Georgia as a case study, as they're leading the way in voter roll purges at the moment. Be sure to visit www.vote.org to check up on your voter registration to make sure it’s active.

| EP 34 | DEI and Affirmative Action are Under Attack | 25 Mar 2024 | 00:25:49 | |
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs are being scrapped all over the country in favor of a 'colorblind' narrative that attempts to minimize the impact of systemic racism on our present day reality. I'm taking a look at the recent move by the Alabama Legislature and Alabama governor Kay Ivey to outlaw DEI programs throughout the state, and to severely control the language used in racial sensitivity training.

| EP 58 Maintaining Contact With Maga Family Members | 30 Sep 2024 | 01:18:03 | |
Modern American politics can be a severely contentious subject, dissolving friendships and oftentimes splitting families down the middle, leaving many of us to choose between distancing from our loved ones or avoiding political discourse, altogether. This week's guest, Horace Gold has made it his mission to bridge the divide between himself (a left-leaning gay Black man) and his deeply religious, MAGA faithful parents. Horace and I share the similarities in our upbringing, have a discussion about grace and the glaring differences between conflict in the online world and the real one.

This week, we're taking a look at the latest 'dust up' taking over social media -- this time it's Queen Bey who's under fire for throwing her 10-gallon hat into the Country music genre. So, how much of this controversy is media-generated and how much of it's real? We know haters gonna hate, but the bigger question is, is there a real racism problem in Country music? Is it the industry? The fans? Do Black folks really care about making a splash in Country music, or is this all about Beyonce? We're doing a deep dive on the history of race in Country music on this week's episode of "I'm All Over the Place."

| EP 29 | Project 2025 | 19 Feb 2024 | 00:27:33 | |
The Heritage Foundation has big plans for 2025. They’ve spent $22 million hiring ‘experts’ in a variety of fields to flesh out their plan for ‘total world domination.’ Well, maybe not WORLD domination, but they plan to vastly increase the power of the executive branch, and place Foundation-approved applicants in key positions throughout the government. The plan is nothing short of diabolical. The 1,000-page document is available on The Heritage Foundation’s website, and considering its size, very few people have actually read the whole thing – including Donald Trump, who is likely to be updated on highlights of the plan, and then turn its implementation over to Heritage Foundation operatives. Anyone casting a vote in 2024 (or not) should be aware of what Project 2025 is. Be sure to pick up your Breakdown Merch at my online store!

| EP 28 | Race Hustlers | 12 Feb 2024 | 00:25:49 | |
The alleged problem of so-called "Race Hustlers" has been much-ballyhoo'd by folks on the right, but where exactly does this accusation come from? You might be surprised to know this is a 'gentrified' term, like a lot of other catch phrases that have become popular with conservatives. Why was this accusation first made, and towards whom was it directed? Understanding the history of terms like 'race baiter' or 'race agitator' can give us the full picture of why this accusation rings false when it's used by those who wish to silence conversations around racial equity and justice.

| EP 27 | Political Manipulation - Fantasy and Fear | 05 Feb 2024 | 00:28:20 | |
How easily manipulated are you? Did you know there’s a war waging for the ‘hearts and minds’ of voters right now? Are we allowing ourselves to be manipulated by the powers that be to support policies that go against our best interests? We certainly recognize when other people fall prey to this phenomenon, but can we recognize it in ourselves? We certainly don’t expect our political parties to be bastions of moral purity, but are they standing for anything at all? Or are they just good at gassing up our egos and causing us to fear what we don’t know? Let’s talk about it. Be sure to pick up your Breakdown Merch at my online store!

She truly is a lovely woman, and I was so honored to bring more attention to her story. She is more than the wrong that was done to her, and I have learned so much about taking ownership of your life and art from her example.
