The espionage TV series, Homeland, brought David Harewood international fame but he is also known as the first Black actor to play Othello at the UK's National Theatre when he was in his early 30s. Now, aged almost 60, he is reprising the role of the Moor in Shakespeare's tragedy. The character of Othello is a skillful General, and the only person of colour in the Venetian army. He and Desdemona, the daughter of a rich and prominent citizen, fall in love and marry, against her father's wishes. This autumn's production at the Haymarket Theatre in London's West End is directed by Tom Morris, who co-created War Horse, which has been seen by more than eight million people around the world. Caitlin Fitzgerald stars as Desdemona and Toby Jones as Iago, with music by P J Harvey. Julian May follows David Harewood, Tom Morris and the cast from the beginning of rehearsal to the opening night as they work together to bring to light the dark themes of power, rage and desire in Shakespeare's great play of duplicity, jealousy and deadly masculinity.

To understand how Democrats are so willing to put their careers and their party on the line for illegals, you must understand how important illegals are to Democrats winning elections.Aside from the sheer number of illegals, millions who are illegally on voter rolls, there is how Democrats used them for illegal votes whether they voted or not.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jack Smith, the former Biden administration enforcer working under the title of special counsel finds himself in trouble. He's been formally indicted. Smith's idea of justice was less "scales of fairness" and more sledgehammer to the kneecaps of anyone orange-tinted or wearing a MAGA hat. And now the universe offers a cosmic karma chuckle and flipped the script. Referred to the Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility for what can only be described as a masterclass in overreach, Smith's not just in hot water—he's marinating with a garnish of disbarment proceedings in Tennessee and New York tossed on top. What led to this eventuality isn't some isolated blooper. It's the encore to a four-year farce where the Biden-era DOJ treated "equal justice under law" like a suggestion written on a karaoke song sheet.

The year is1878 - and Cape Governor Sir Sir Bartle Frere is throwing the empire's weight around South Africa. Let's put ourselves in his shoes because some historians say he had a formidable Machiavellian personality, full of fatal overconfidence, too used to having his own way and to ignoring the magnitude of obstacles confronting him. One of those perceived obstacles was Zulu king, Cetshwayo kaMpande. Crowned in 1873 after the death of his father, Mpande kaSenzangakhona, Cetshwayo presided over a squabbling nation. His great place, Ondini, is close to where Ulundi is today. It was vast, elliptical in shape, stretching from 650 metres in one axis, to 507 in another. The outer circumference of his ikhanda, the royal residence, was over two kilometers long. The second part of his great place was a smaller group of ikhanda, and called emaNgweni. The unusual point about emaNgweni is that the principal hut was actually a western style house. The Norwegian missionaries at Empangeni had helped build this, consisting of three rooms with glass windows, along with wooden doors and whitewashed walls, under a thatched roof. Cetshwayo went a step further at Ondini, where his special residence was build out of sun dried bricks burned black. These materials were given to Cetshwayo by Norwegian Mission Society's Reverend Ommund Oftebro. Ommund sounds like the uMondi, the Zulu word for a sweet, aromatic herb. This is a herb used to treat flatulance, ie farting, so there's some irony in the fact that Reverend Ommund Oftebro's mission station was acalled uMondi. It's on the outskirts of Eshowe. This black bricked building at Ondini was larger than his other retreat, four wallpapered rooms, glazed windows and verandahs at the back and the front. It also had two outside doors with locks. The rooms contained European furniture, a washstand and a large mirror. King Cetshwayo would hold court in this house, tending to the affairs of state, consulting his councillors. At night, the doors would be locked and guarded by two women, armed with guns. Yes folks, women with guns. Cetshwayo's chief gun-runner and a chief himself, John Dunne the English trader, personally trained Zulu VIP guards in how to shoot. The bodyguards would be instructed in musketry and were armed with short carbines, ideal for close quarter bodyguarding. Dunn took the women into the veld every day in the late afternoon, and target practice would follow which included peppering the local aloes. This echelon of women bodyguards accompanied Cetshwayo when he visited his chiefs ikhanda around Zululand with the intention of protecting him when the male amabutho were away. One of his maids in waiting, Nomguqo Dlamini, told of her life in the ikhanda in a rare book called Servant of Two Kings by Paulina Dlamini - she became a Christian and changed her name. The book is full of information about day to day life in the late 1870s, how the gatekeeper at onDini woke everyone by calling out the king's praises, Cetshwayo would emerge after the women of the isigodlo had swept up the yard, then he often went off his sporting guns to hunt birds. Later, the king would head off to a small enclosure in the Royal Kraal where he would stand on a stone and be washed with water from the Mbilane stream, and rubbed down. The young men who attended the king were trusted sons of senior chiefs of the Xulu line, as well as other sons of Mnyamana. At the meeting of amabutho warriors in 1875, Cetshwayo had granted permission for the INdlondlo ibutho to put on their headrings and marry. These were men in the 40s, the iNdlondlo regiment had been formed way back in 1857, and these men had waited patiently for their turn to take wives. The problem was, he gave them permission to seek brides from the iNgcugce ibutho, where the girls there had been born between 1850 and 1853. They were far younger than the grizzled warriors seeking their hands in marriage.

Every year, hundreds of international student athletes arrive in the U.S. chasing their basketball dreams — many on F-1 student visas. But for some their journey turns into exploitation. Basketball Trafficking: Stolen Black Panamanian Dreams (Duke University Press, 2025) uncovers how dreams are sold, manipulated, and in some cases stolen — especially for young Black athletes from the Global South. This book offers a powerful call to action for educators, institutions, and sport leaders to safeguard the next generation of hoopers. Rooted in his own experience as a distinguished former Division 1 college athlete and an alumnus of a Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), Javier has a unique perspective on the significance of sports in cultural and social movements. He procured his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from Florida A&M University, followed by a PhD from The University of Texas at Austin, where he delved into the intersections of race, culture, and athletics. Javier's expertise has led him to prominent roles, including serving as a Fellow at Harvard's AfroLatin American Research Initiative, a University of Pennsylvania & University of Birmingham (UK) Immigration Fellow, and a Postdoctoral Associate and Professor at Duke University. His scholarly work has been recognized with accolades, such as the Harvard ALARI Best Dissertation on an Afro-Latin American topic in 2020 and a Preservation Merit Award from Preservation Austin. Javier has been featured in numerous media outlets such as TEDx, The Travel Channel, Discovery Channel, Vice Sports, ESPN, and CNN, marking him as a distinctive voice in his arena. His dedication to shining a light on the unsung heroes who have transformed sports into a stage for empowerment and social change remains unwavering. A committed traveler and cultural enthusiast, Javier continues to connect and promote these remarkable stories of resilience and triumph wherever his journey takes him.

We know Malala as the youngest Nobel Prize laureate, the girl who survived a Taliban bullet at 15 for advocating for girls' education in Pakistan. Now in a new book, she's reintroducing herself to the world. It's called Finding My Way, and in it she writes about the messy, funny, and flawed experiences that come with age, while carrying both the honor and the weight of being an activist for women's rights. TV critic David Bianculli reviews a new documentary series about Martin Scorsese. And Ken Burns talks about his new PBS documentary on the Revolutionary War. It includes the perspectives of women, Native Americans, and enslaved and free Black people–the people initially excluded from the declaration “all men are created equal.” Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

It was a quiet night. The kind of small-town stillness that makes every knock echo louder than it should. Fifteen-year-old Kelly had just gotten home from a costume party, her parents still out, her brother heading back into town. She was alone — until a sharp knock hit the front door around 3 a.m. A small voice on the other side said, “We need to use your telephone, ma'am.” Then came another, higher and trembling: “My sister needs your bathroom.” Two children stood on the porch — pale, oddly dressed, no older than 12. At first, she thought they might be Amish. Then she saw their eyes. No whites. No pupils. Just black. Her parents didn't believe her. Most people wouldn't. But those who've heard the stories know better — the Black-Eyed Children always ask to come in. And if you do… no one ever hears what happens next. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #BlackEyedChildren #TrueHaunting #ParanormalEncounter #CreepyKids #3amHaunting #UrbanLegend #RealGhostStory #SupernaturalEncounter #EyesOfDarkness #HauntedNight #BEK Love real ghost stories?

Solving the climate crisis isn't about reinventing the wheel or the latest tech scheme — it can be as simple as growing food and building community. Host Shilpi Chhotray chats with Leah Penniman, farmer, educator, and co-founder of Soul Fire Farm, about the intersection of land, food justice, and racial equity. Leah shares how Afro-Indigenous farming practices offer solutions to the climate crisis— but also serve as a tool for personal and community healing. From the legacy of Black farmers in the U.S. to the ongoing exploitation of agricultural workers, this conversation reveals how land is not only the foundation of sustenance but the basis of revolution, independence, and justice.Key Topics Covered:Farming as a spiritual and ecological practice that reconnects humans to the earth.Pitfalls of Industrial agriculture, from soil degradation, pesticide contamination, and contributions to the climate crisis Afro-Indigenous farming practices that sequester carbon, restore soil, and increase resilience to extreme weather.Land justice and reparations: Historical land theft, racialized wealth disparities, and efforts to build Black land commons.The Trump Administration's impact on Black Farmers and the agri-food industry.How modern food systems continue to exploit the most vulnerable, including undocumented farmworkers and incarcerated individuals, whose labor produces the food we eatResourcesSoul Fire FarmFarming While Black by Lean PennimanBlack Earth Wisdom by Leah PennimanAP investigation “Prisoners in the US are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands”Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We got the biggest news in an ocean of big news. You thought the indictment of Comey was big, psst.And Bolton. He's a guppy in a sea of big fish. The man is small potatoes, but necessary to bring down to make bigger points. By the end of the show today, we will zoom in on a few specific actors, but also explain why certain recent actions don't bode well for Democrats.November of last year brought about the most significant political upheaval since the founding of the Republican Party. And while that party morphed into little more than Democrat-light over the decades, the Republicans would get another shot.In 2016, against all odds, Trump won. A revival happened.

I wrote the other day that as President Trump negotiated peace between Israel and Hamas, there were Leftists hoping that the deal would never happen. And as the deal exists today, there are Leftists who pray it falls apart. Be assured that factions for war are working like the Devil's elves to blow up this peace deal. Because for the Left, Trump must not be successful at anything.I enjoy watching President Trump bringing “peace on Earth”, yet waging war against the machine. Hang on that thought for just a moment to consider that the man who actively wants peace must enter the war against evil in his own country.I think President Trump is being sneaky. While his peace efforts around the world are legitimate, he knows that he must wage war at home. So he throws fuel on the Democrats' fires. And cleverly so.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jeffrey Epstein's network went far beyond trafficking and exploitation—it also included a sophisticated campaign to discredit, intimidate, and obstruct those investigating him. From the mid-2000s through 2019, Epstein and his lawyers waged a relentless public relations and legal offensive designed to undermine victims, stall prosecutors, and silence the press. Court documents and leaked communications reveal that Epstein's inner circle—including Ghislaine Maxwell and his attorneys at firms like Black, Srebnick, Kornspan & Stumpf—used intimidation tactics, private investigators, and smear campaigns to paint accusers as liars or gold diggers. In one series of emails revealed by Bloomberg, Maxwell and Epstein discussed deploying damaging personal rumors to discredit accusers as “unstable” or “untrustworthy,” while threatening defamation suits against media outlets that covered the story. This coordinated effort to manipulate public perception was part of a larger strategy to delegitimize investigations, protect powerful allies, and preserve his social status within elite circles.Epstein also relied on legal obstruction and financial manipulation to blunt scrutiny. He deployed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), secret settlements, and strategic donations to law enforcement-connected charities to curry favor. Defense teams repeatedly sought to seal or suppress evidence, arguing that revealing details would “prejudice ongoing investigations.” In some cases, Epstein's team even hired former intelligence and law enforcement officials to monitor reporters and intimidate witnesses. His influence extended into the judicial system through his now-infamous 2008 non-prosecution agreement, which effectively shut down a federal probe and silenced dozens of victims. Even after his death, the DOJ and courts have continued to restrict access to key records, citing privacy or “ongoing investigations”—a fact many observers see as a continuation of Epstein's disinformation playbook, protecting those who benefited from his silence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In the world of Black radical politics, the name Audley Moore commands unquestioned respect. Across the nine decades of her life, Queen Mother Moore distinguished herself as a leading progenitor of Black Nationalism, the founder of the modern reparations movement, and, from her Philadelphia and Harlem homes, a mentor to some of America's most influential Black activists.And yet, she is far less remembered than many of her peers and protégés—Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, and Muhammad Ahmad, to name just a few—and the ephemera of her life are either lost or plundered. In Queen Mother: Black Nationalism, Reparations, and the Untold Story of Audley Moore (Pantheon, 2025), celebrated writer and historian Ashley D. Farmer restores Moore's faded portrait, delivering the first ever definitive account of her life and enduring legacy.Deeply researched and richly detailed, Queen Mother is more than just the biography of an American icon. It's a narrative history of 20th-century Black radicalism, told through the lens of the woman whose grit and determination sustained the movement.

In this episode of Selective Ignorance, host Mandii B sits down with culture critic Barry Neal for a dynamic, unfiltered conversation that dives deep into the intersections of culture, controversy, and community. The episode opens with an introduction and guest welcome [00:00], setting the tone for a thought-provoking discussion that blends humor, honesty, and critical insight into the realities of modern media and identity. The conversation kicks off with a cultural commentary on the Joe Budden podcast incident involving Marc Lamont Hill [01:28], where Mandii and Barry unpack the viral controversy and what it reveals about accountability, ego, and the performative nature of online discourse. They examine how the situation underscores deeper tensions within the Black podcasting space, where authenticity often collides with influence and public perception. From there, the dialogue explores the role of conflict in podcasting [15:07], dissecting how debates, disagreements, and drama drive engagement but can also distort meaningful dialogue. Mandii and Barry reflect on the fine line between using controversy as content and maintaining integrity as creators in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. The episode transitions into a sharp examination of classism and intellectualism within Black culture [20:22], as the hosts question who gets to represent the community in public spaces. They discuss the tension between academic voices and street perspectives, emphasizing the need for both authenticity and nuance in shaping cultural narratives. This leads naturally into a broader discussion on the complexity of Black identity and representation [38:56], where Mandii and Barry reflect on the pressures of visibility, code-switching, and how mainstream success can sometimes come at the cost of cultural authenticity. As the conversation shifts gears, they spotlight the rise of Kevin McCall [41:18], exploring his talent, public struggles, and complicated journey in the music industry. This segues into a detailed breakdown of Chris Brown’s enduring impact and performance legacy [50:34], as the hosts analyze how fame, redemption, and public opinion intertwine in the lives of artists who’ve faced both acclaim and controversy. In one of the most introspective portions of the episode, Mandii and Barry address burnt bridges and unforgivable actions [01:01:52], discussing how personal accountability and growth play out in both public and private life. The conversation deepens as they explore navigating relationships and choices [01:12:10], tackling sensitive topics like forgiveness, boundaries, and the emotional toll of living under constant scrutiny. The episode concludes with closing thoughts and a look ahead to future conversations [01:18:09], where Mandii and Barry encourage listeners to embrace nuance, challenge assumptions, and remain open to growth — even when faced with uncomfortable truths. This installment of Selective Ignorance masterfully balances cultural critique with personal reflection, offering listeners a space to think critically about identity, fame, and integrity in today’s hyper-connected world. “No Holes Barred: A Dual Manifesto Of Sexual Exploration And Power” w/ Tempest X!Sale Link Follow the host on Social MediaMandii B Instagram/X @fullcourtpumps Follow the guest on Social Media Barry Neal Instagram @micdroppers Follow the show on Social MediaInstagram @selectiveignorancepodTiktok @selective.ignoranceX/Twitter @selectiveig_podSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Perfect Neighbor debuted this month as the #1 film on Netflix, bringing attention to Stand Your Ground laws through the story of Ajike “AJ” Owens. AJ was killed in 2023 by her neighbor Susan Lorincz, a woman known throughout the neighborhood as “The Karen." This documentary, told through police bodycam footage of the confrontations leading up to the horrific murder, is part of a movement for social change. On this MiniPod, our hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum speak with the mother of Ajike Owens, Pamela Dias, and executive producer of the film, Takema Robinson. In honor of Ajike’s legacy, these two co-founded the Standing In The Gap Fund with a vision to transform grief into action and seek justice for those impacted by racial violence. Florida’s first-in-the-nation Stand Your Ground law played a key role in Ajike’s murder. Her killer researched the law BEFORE shooting Ajike and using it as her legal defense. Ajike, Takema, and SO many others are seeking to overturn the law that’s disproportionately used to justify murdering members of the Black community.

Synopsis:  The mayoral candidate who's got the nation talking, Zohran Mamdani, is on track to make history as New York City's first Muslim-American and second Democratic Socialist mayor.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  Wherever you are in the county, you've probably heard the name “Zohran Mamdani”. New York City's mayoral race is a national story, and it's hard to overstate the significance of the leading candidate in this moment. If elected, Mamdani would become the first Muslim-American and only the second Democratic Socialist Mayor of the largest city in the U.S. His victory, on a promise to make New York affordable for working people, would have implications for politics everywhere. The race is already garnering both excitement and anxiety. President Trump is threatening to withhold federal funding for New York City if Mamdani wins. From Chicago to Dearborn, Michigan, journalists are watching. In this installment of “Meet the BIPOC Press”, Laura Flanders speaks with Felipe De La Hoz, investigative immigration and policy reporter whose work has been featured in The Intercept, The Washington Post, New York Mag and The Nation; Osama Siblani, publisher and founder of The Arab American News, the largest Arab American newspaper in the U.S., and Asha Ransby-Sporn, organizer and writer for In These Times and co-founder of Black Youth Project 100, where she led the group's national organizing program. Join us as we explore what a Mamdani victory would signal for the nation.“. . . There's this sense that [Left-leaning candidates] have to essentially be apologizing for their policy prescriptions and their stances. Mamdani has not done that . . . For the most part, he very much embraces who he is and what his policy prescriptions are.” - Felipe De La Hoz“I hate giving labels. I don't look at Mandani as a progressive. I look at him as representing the anger and anguish of people who have been left behind with the political apparatus.” - Osama Siblani“More so than I am concerned with Black people being pulled to the Right or being pulled in by Trump . . . I think what we see are people who are disengaged and feel like our political system isn't going to deliver for them at all. Who feel let down by the establishment Democratic party that has sold all of us out for decades, and Black people have borne an enormous amount of the brunt of that impact.” - Asha Ransby-SpornGuests:• Felipe De La Hoz: Immigration & Policy Reporter, Epicenter NYC• Asha Ransby-Sporn: Writer & Political Strategist; Columnist, In These Times• Osama Siblani: Publisher, The Arab American NewsFull Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

Andrew discusses his religious experience making a martini stirred not shaken. How black nail polish is the stylish way to say..."I'm on my game."

Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another has been the talk of the town since its wide release last month—from critics to filmmakers to audiences, the reception has been nothing short of euphoric. Loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland, the film opens in an unspecified present, detailing the activities of a militant group led by a Black revolutionary (played by Teyana Taylor). Years after her disappearance, her partner (Leonardo DiCaprio) and their daughter (newcomer Chase Infiniti) are hunted down by an old enemy, Sean Penn's Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw. The chase takes them across California, with an assortment of other characters becoming embroiled along the way.  The movie is an unabashedly fun, feel-good action flick—one that also calls back to films as disparate as The Searchers, Commando, and Running on Empty. But is it among the greatest of the decade, as some have claimed? Film Comment Editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girish invited critics and programmers Miriam Bale and Adam Piron on the Podcast to discuss the film's successes and failures, how it fits into PTA's larger body of work, and its engagement with American history and the present. If there's one thing the four agreed on, it's that One Battle After Another is indeed a “very rich text.”

This week we're answering the call of Black Phone 2 (2025). We examine the emotional depth of its characters, analyze the effectiveness of its supernatural elements, and critique the film's cinematography and dream sequences. In this episode's b-side, we discuss the logistics of phone scams, share our own thoughts on phone-related horrors, and debate the plausibility of ghostly phone calls.
