Disappointed - tuned in hoping to learn
I am a big fan of the idea of this podcast and a big fan of Rachel Lindsay. I respect her willingness to step up and use her fame to educate and bring forward important issues going on. I live in Minneapolis. The killing of George Floyd is awful and it’s very sad here. I agree with civil rights to protest and people have every right to do that. There have been some peaceful protests. However—in the face of a pandemic, people here gathered in large groups, many unmasked and looting and rioting took place. This is well beyond protesting. The looting included burning of an apartment complex that houses many people who are already struggling financially. Now, homeless. Food from stores was burned, stores where again, those who are having a hard time making ends meet shop. Please have the facts when making comments around this. While the killing of George Floyd is beyond words, the looting and rioting are not the answer and in fact harmed many of George’s neighbors and his community. Further it’s overshadowing George’s death. I’m really disappointed in how this was presented.

More reviews of Higher Learning with Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsay
Long time listener to many Ringer podcast. Love the content and have been waiting for more diverse voices. Noticed it on several podcasts recently (Wesley Morris, the movies and TV shows discussed, etc.) Looking forward to hearing what Rachel and Van have to say each week!

You two are awesome. Great first episode. Van—you should get your voice double, Cypha Sounds, on the podcast so we can all get really confused about which one of you is talking. And get Bill’s stingy ass to splurge on some better theme music. This podcast is excellent!

I loved that you guys had different perspectives but both very thoughtful. I liked the wide range of topics from serious to light hearted. Subscribed!
