Before we start today's show, we want to ask you a small favor. Here at Panoply, we're trying to learn more

about our podcast listeners. We want you to tell us about the

podcast you enjoy and how often you listen to them. So we created a survey that takes just a couple of

minutes to complete. If you fill it out, you'll help us to make great podcast about the things you

love and the things you didn't even know you love. To fill out the survey, just go to panoply.fm.

That's panoply.fm slash survey. That's panoply.fm.fm. slash survey. Or you can click the link that's been

provided in the show notes for this episode. Thanks. The following podcast contains explicit

language. Hello and welcome to our national conversation about conversations about race, the biweekly, multiracial podcast where we discuss the ways we can't talk, don't talk, would rather not talk, but intermittently fitfully, embarrassingly do talk about culture, identity, politics,

power, and privilege in our pre-posts yet still very racial America.

You could say all that, or just call the show about race.

I'm Raquel Cepeda, and joining me in the Palo Pleas Studios in New York City are my co-host

Tanner Colby.

What up, Tanner?

Hello, Raquel. And while Barturne is a way

solving the austerity crisis in Greece, we are really happy to welcome my mellow, my man, Jay Smooth.

What up, Jay Smooth? Yes, indeed. What's going on? Thank you for taking the time, because I know today you're taping the Underground Railroad,

which is the longest running hip-hop show out there.

Yes, indeed. Friday nights from 10 p.m. to midnight on WBA.B.A. 99.5 FM. We've been doing this

since 1991.

That is crazy. Wow.
