I think a lot about the fact that if you put all my fave podhosts in a room they would absolutely hate each other and I feel like that's a reasonable reflection of my personality...

Podcasts have become an increasingly popular medium of communication, being used for entertainment, news and political commentary, and educational purposes.
Finding a good podcast to get into can be difficult as you search through the sea of podcasts that exist on multiple platforms today. Of course, recognizing the rising popularity of the podcast format means recognizing its rising power for political education and holding important conversations. Podcasts covering a range of topics such as race, gender, history, literature, and many other things exist out there, and it is important to uplift the ones that seek to educate and engage the listener beyond the common, mainstream political dialog.
Below I have listed my top 10 favorite podcasts (in no particular order) that you can listen to while driving in the car, cleaning your house, or in the background of your study session.
Checking the news right now, things are a little, how do you say...fucked. But there is some hope. As one of our guests puts it, "Rome wasn't burnt down in a day." Despite your Richard Spencers, your animated frog avatars and the whole extended cast of characters hell-bent on returning America to its pre-civil rights glory ("a hot dog cost a nickel and you could physically assault any person of color you saw! ") there are still people fighting for good in this country.
THIS WEEK: We're chatting with comedians/podcasters/activists and all-around cool dudes W. Kamau Bell and Hari Kondabolu. Their podcast "Politically Reactive" is the modern guide to surviving in the age of Trump-- from how to be an active part of the resistance to just how to stay happy and not let the whole dumpster fire weigh you down on a day-to-day basis. First, Jack O'Brien and Daniel O'Brien chat with W. Kamau Bell about his show "United Shades of America," what it was like interviewing Richard Spencer and a KKK leader and how he would go about fixing the violence in Chicago. Later, Alex Schmidt and Katie Goldin speak with Hari Kondabolu about #covfefe, how being a touring comedian gives you a different view of America and an absolutely crazy video of Malcom X on a Canadian Game show.

W. Kamau Bell’s busy week: Updates on his book and podcast, plus new tour dates
Tons of news from W. Kamau Bell‘s camp this week, meaning we’ve got a lot of new projects from the triple-threat stand-up, writer, and political commentator coming soon. First up, Bell has re-launched the podcast he hosts with fellow comic Hari Kondabolu, Politically Re-Active; the show, in which the two Very Woke bros give their well-informed, humorous takes on current events, has just begun its…

The latest post on my blog/site, Phenomenally Feminist. I've been trying to post more lately, slightly motivated by current political crap.
Las Cafeteras has a saying: “if we can’t dance together, we can’t move together.”
Um...BUCKET LIST ✅.
I play cohost on this week's Politically Re-Active with W. Kamau Bell while Hari Kondabolu films his new pilot. Don't worry, you get your Hari fix: he & Kamau interview my buddies, Las Cafeteras!
It's a beautiful thing, it's tremendous. Mooozlems love it and Putin's into it, BIGLY. Enjoy and share. 📢
