Must Listen
One of those podcasts I hit "play" on as soon as it drops for the week. Keeps me informed and brings insight to issues that need to be discussed and heard.
If you use the N word less, I would give you 5 stars
If you use the N word less, I would give you 5 stars. But thank you for your work.
Inner cities helps
Besides the fact that I am entertained and am excited every time I see it has downloaded, it performs a service for me. Inner Cities is the place where this privileged white man has no choice but to be quiet, listen, and hope to understand.
