On this week’s MiniPod, our host Tiffany Cross has a story to tell Angela Rye and Andrew Gillum. Tiffany almost got into a fight on a cable news roundtable. We have some juicy behind the scenes details that segues into a surprisingly intellectual conversation about working in media while Black (spoiler alert: the Karens are everywhere).
In addition, the hosts answer one of your questions about voter registration. There’s a connection to the redistricting wars, the Shelby vs. Holder Supreme Court decision, and the shockingly recent history of voter suppression.
