Podcasts from University College
You know what time it is! Welcome back to University College Podcast. This week, we get right to it with an in-depth discussion about the current Democratic hopefuls and the Kaepernick situation that has everyone throwing in their opinions.
Welcome back to UC! This week’s episode titled “Don’t Call It A Comeback” tackles the following:-2020 Presidential race: 2:15-Kamala’s fall from grace: 14:05-Cory Booker, please: 22:15-2020 Democrat talk soup: 25:35-In the end, there can be only one: 31:45-Kanye Fanaticism: 35:00-Under Armor going under: 51:05-Impeachment: 52:25
Episode 87 has quite of bit of everything. We recapped the last Democratic Presidential Nominee Debate, including: - Does tarnishing Obama's legacy work? - Why can't Kamala rise in the polls? - Why is Elizabeth surging? - Are you now a member of the Yang Gang? We also discuss the horrific practice of separating families at the border and putting children in cages.
Biden v. Harris, Castro v. Beto, and much more coverage from the first Dem. debate. Also, we look at Mayor Pete's "Black" problem. Lastly, has the Democratic party gone too far left?
It’s been a few weeks, so welcome back to University College. This week, we welcome Morehouse man Jason Keene on the show to discuss the recent graduation gift bestowed upon the Morehouse graduating class of 2019. Will the gesture by billionaire Robert F. Smith start a new trend among HBCUs or PWIs? How insufferable will Morehouse graduates be now? Ava DuVernay’s most recent project, When They See Us, was released a few weeks back. While overall reaction has been positive, should this film be a springboard to have conversations with other races about current injustices? If you’re one of our listeners and you are Black, is it your obligation to educated non-Black people about the perils of racism, systemic oppression and more? We close out with one of the greatest American treasures that we have: Angry Curt. We won’t divulge any other clues, but you’ll want to hear it. We appreciate your continued support and shoot us any feedback you have!
