After an 8-month hiatus, the hosts reflect on the increasingly dangerous political climate, parenting during the covid-19 pandemic, and share their take on 2021's cancel culture line-up of targets. They also review some of the shows and films that have sparked interest or brought joy, such as Hulu's documentary "Summer of Soul," the largely forgotten, but highly impactful Black music festival that took place in Harlem in 1969. The stark similarities between the events of the world in 1969 and 2021 are uncanny, and Ms. Nina Simone's "Backlash Blues" featured in the documentary acts as a hauntingly accurate synopsis of the climate in which most people of color, and people of the global majority are still living over a half century later. There's also a discussion about the k-drama drought that they have experienced, and their concerns with Netflix's recent production of k-dramas that veer away from the standard "algorithm." Though the topics of reflection are heavy, there is faith and optimism that we will get through the tough times that we are experiencing now. Thanks for listening.
