“I’m so glad I found this podcast. The January 6 series was a wonderful antidote to my daily increasing dread fueled by fascist white supremacy and the upcoming election cycle. Thanks to everyone — and especially the investigators — for truly inspiring work.”

“This special 6-part series is riveting and so important for every American to hear. As we approach the most important election in our history, what happened on Jan 6, 2021 will be front and center. We all must understand the events leading up to the attack on our Capitol and the ensuing events...”Read full review »

“I don’t know how many 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ratings they will allow from me. But I wouldn’t know half of what I know about what’s happening in the world or within the Black world if Farai didn’t focus and report on it. I had no idea half of the guests even existed because mainstream isn’t covering them. I...”Read full review »

“Listened to transpolitics 101 and super informative. I didn’t realize all the insidious ways the state is trying to control! It runs along the same lines of eugenics, it’s another public health and human rights issue - and appreciate the visibility on this podcast. These episodes have been...”Read full review »

“I love how this episode dug into the nuances of gun violence, women’s health, and specifically black ppl’s health. The fact that roe v wade is being turned over at the same time men are being encouraged to buy guns is no accident, and y’all did a great job of highlighting that overlap. I don’t...”Read full review »

“I was getting tired of shows with majority white hosts and the questions they were asking even guests of color were too obvious, not engaging, and in many cases surface level and boring.
