Summary

Detty December seems to have grown into a tourist trap marketed as a return home for Black Americans and a price hike for locals –while slave castles across West Africa (specifically Goree Island) may be overly over exaggerating its role in the middle passge for financial gain…what does it mean when tourism is centered on Black pain and how must we move forward with that knowing?

0:00.0	This is God's, Ghosts, and UFOs. My name is Jordan, and I came up with the name of this show,
0:05.6	so I think it's only fair that my co-hosts explain what is about. Oh, okay. Fine with me. But first,
0:11.2	maybe introduce yourself? Yeah, good idea. I'm Mallory, and my day job is mostly comedy,
0:16.2	which I think qualifies me to talk about the nature of existence. Foundationally. And I'm Tom, and I'm a musician and an author.
0:24.6	And can I also just say that you tell stories like there's a crackling fire next to you all the time?
0:30.3	All right, Tom, since we're getting all cozy, what's this show about?
0:33.7	Well, it's in the title, isn't it? God's Ghosts and UFOs.

1:10.7	Exactly.
1:11.1	Let's talk about format.
1:12.6	Every week, we're going to cover something relevant from the news.
1:15.6	With maybe a loose definition of news.
1:18.6	Let's say current events with a particular event.
1:22.6	And then maybe we'll get into a discussion about a related topic,
1:25.6	or maybe we'll take a deeper dive.
1:28.2	And sometimes we'll bring in someone who knows way more about the thing than we do.
