Ship Talk

Welcome back for another episode! In this episode, we recap our last month in our new country. We speak about sandboarding, swimming with dolphins, coffee shops, and Jordan joining an Egyptian Fight Club. Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to Season 2! Thank you for your patience as we moved, got married and moved again. We cover all of this and more in the first episode of the new season! Thanks for listening!

Thank you everyone for listening. We took a break so we can focus on learning, progressing, and focusing on the BLM movement. We will be continuing to learn and progress moving forward. If you did not listen to last week's episode, go back. We provided some great resources to dive into that will help you become an ally for our black, indigenous, and POC brothers and sisters. If you have any recommendations, please send us a DM on shiptalk_ on Instagram. This week we provided an update on how things are going to be moving forward. We also provided an update on how we are doing with our move. This includes a story about our adventures on Craigslist. Feel free to provide us with feedback on our Instagram page (shiptalk_) Thanks! Sloppy and Sassy

We are doing something different this week. As many of you are, our attention has been on the wrongful killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, and the following protests for justice against oppression and systematic racism. As two privileged individuals, we want to learn, progress, and change. Instead of doing a classic episode, we want all of you to take the time you would dedicate listening to this podcast, and focus it on listening/reading/learning to and about black voices. It is the least we could do. The people/resources we have recommended in this episode are the following: Instagram Followers: @iamrachelricketts @ajabarber @ohhappydani @theconsciouskid Podcasts about Race: The Daily - "Why is the Pandemic Killing So Many Black Americans" 1619 - New York Times podcast series about the history of black oppression, starting with the arrival of slave ships in 1619 Movies: "13th" - Documentary about the transition of control from slavery to the African American overrepresentation in the American Prison System. "I am Not Your Negro" "When They See Us" Books: "That Hate U Give" - Angie Thomas "The People's History of the US" - Howard Zinn "Coming of Age in Mississippi" - Anne Moody "Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson" Mandela Thanks for listening.
