Today's History Story: John Johnson Attica Have you ever stopped to consider how much media focuses on police narratives? The sheer volume almost feels dystopian. There's even a term for it: copaganda. Whether you've heard it or not, copaganda's reach is vast, with even vaster consequences. It infiltrates every form of media, from the morning news to evening cartoons. So what's the history of copaganda -- and how do we combat the pervasive presence of policing on our screens? Today's guest has some ideas. Chenjerai Kumanyika is a journalist, author, and organizer working at the intersections of social justice and emerging media in the cultural and creative industries. He's also the host of "Empire City," a mind-blowing podcast about the history of policing, coming this fall. This conversation might have you seeing your favorite movies in new and interesting ways. Because beneath the layers of plot and character, you might just uncover a piece of copaganda. To learn more about Chenjerai's work, visit XX.

In this episode Pastor Chenjerai says that prayer it isn't just about asking for things to be done by God in our lives; it also helps you to develop that strong spiritual link with God.

Astra Taylor, Hannah Appel and Chenjerai Kumanyika discuss the urgent new book: Can't Pay, Won't Pay: The Case for Economic Disobedience and Debt Abolition by the Debt Collective. The book is a powerful guide to action for people in debt. ---------------------------------------------------- Debtors have been mocked, scolded and lied to for decades. We have been told that it is perfectly normal to go into debt to get medical care, to go to school, or even to pay for our own incarceration. We've been told there is no way to change an economy that pushes the majority of people into debt while a small minority hoard wealth and power. The coronavirus pandemic has revealed that mass indebtedness and extreme inequality are a political choice. In the early days of the crisis, elected officials drew up plans to spend trillions of dollars. The only question was: where would the money go and who would benefit from the bailout? The truth is that there has never been a lack of money for things like housing, education and health care. Millions of people never needed to be forced into debt for those things in the first place. Armed with this knowledge, a militant debtors movement has the potential to rewrite the contract and assure that no one has to mortgage their future to survive. Debtors of the World Must Unite. As isolated individuals, debtors have little influence. But as a bloc, we can leverage our debts and devise new tactics to challenge the corporate creditor class and help win reparative, universal public goods. Individually, our debts overwhelm us. But together, our debts can make us powerful. ------------------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Astra Taylor is a documentary filmmaker, writer, and political organizer. She is the director, most recently, of "What Is Democracy?" and the author of Democracy May Not Exist, but We'll Miss It When It's Gone and the American Book Award winning The People's Platform: Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age. She is co-founder of the Debt Collective, a union for debtors, and contributed the foreword to the group's new book, Can't Pay, Won't Pay: The Case for Economic Disobedience and Debt Abolition.

An all English Episode | We had the pleasure of hosting a live show Chenjerai Kumanyika, a Peabody Award winning co-executive producer and co-host of Uncivil Podcast. Chenjerai is an activist, a researcher, journalist, an artist who works as an assistant professor at Rutgers University’s Department of Journalism and Media Studies. He was invited to Amsterdam to give a keynote speech at the annual Oorzaken (Podcast) Festival. For the ol skool listeners he was the founding members of the rap group The Spooks who were active in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Even Mariam recognised Things I've Seen! We discuss the genealogy & politics of our names, being the only or few black people ☠ at Podcast events & festivals even in the U.S.A...

Amber J. Phillips (aka the High Priestess of Black Joy), podcaster and Participatory Civic Media Fellow at USC, takes the reins to interview Chenjerai Kumanyika, Assistant Professor ofJournalism and Media Studies at Rutgers University, and host of Uncivil Podcast. Following our podcasting event at USC (see episodes 32 and 33), they speak about some differences of black voices, performativity, and expectations of "authenticity" in podcasting. We also discuss what is considered professionalism in radio, and where the definition of what radio should be emerged. How was the standard set, and who was excluded from public radio? How do black podcasters negotiate code-switching, in order to be "inclusive" of the wider public, while also being able to speak to their own communities? We delve into trying to bring marginalized stories to mainstream listeners. We get into how and why Chenjerai chose the stories he did for the Uncivil podcast: what are the questions that will help us understand history with the most clarity? Civil war stories for example, are focused on the larger narratives of battles and policies, but the marginalized stories do not get told because of a lack of imagination. We also talk about the word "innovation" and criteria for it, but how the word is being used by opposite communities.

The complete audio is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://adbl.co/2HHbZQu Black Beauty By Anna Sewell Narrated by Linda Barrans Sometimes he came round and patted me, saying in his quiet, pleasant way, "This horse has got a good master, and he deserves it." It was a very rare thing for any one to notice the horse that had been working for him. I have known ladies to do it now and then, and this gentleman, and one or two others have given me a pat and a kind word; but 99 persons out of 100 would as soon think of patting the steam engine that drew the train. This is the heart-warming story of Black Beauty, his masters, and his friends. Written in 1877 by Quaker Anna Sewell, partly to educate, partly as a plea that we should treat horses not as machines, but as creatures of flesh and blood and feeling. As she says: We have no right to distress any of God's creatures without a very good reason. Thanks go to the Mutasa brothers, Chenjerai and Mambakwedza, artists at The Harvest Centre at Hout Bay near Cape Town, for permission to use pictures of their wonderful horse sculpture made from pieces of broken machinery. Thanks, too, to Andy Forward of Horse Presence for permission to use their horse sounds, and to Richardemoore at FreeSound for the use of CW_Battle_Nearby, recorded at a Civil War re-enactment.

This week, all stories - even stories about Dunkin' Donuts - are about power.ALL STORIES ARE STORIES ABOUT POWERpresented by Sandhya Dirks (American Suburb, KQED) and Chenjerai Kumanyika (Uncivil and Seeing White)From the Third Coast Conference - where audio producers from around the world gather to share expertise - this session from the 2018 conference tackled a topic that goes beyond audio stories alone. For makers and listeners alike, this presentation challenges the ways that stories privilege whiteness, quirkiness and empathy. Through examples and inquiry, Sandhya and Chenjerai show that there is no such thing as an innocent, objective, or purely entertaining story. All stories are stories about power, and storytellers hold the power to better interrogate the structures that shape our understandings.This episode of Re:sound was produced by Isabel Vázquez.For more conference sessions and conversations that push the boundaries of audio storytelling, subscribe to our other podcast, the Third Coast Pocket Conference.

A few years ago, Chenjerai Kumanyika went to record his narration for his first-ever radio story. And he discovered a problem: "What should I sound like?" Several years later, Chenjerai found his voice on the Peabody Award-winning podcast "Uncivil."

The Nod is off this week, but Brittany and Eric are still here to present Uncivil, Gimlet Media's newest show.

The show ransacks the official version of the Civil War—with untold stories about covert operations, corruption, resistance and mutiny. Uncivil is hosted by Jack Hitt and Chenjerai Kumanyika (who you may remember from our episode on Purple Stuff). Jack and Chenjerai take on what you think you know about the Civil War, and connect what happened then to the political battlefield we’re living on right now. Listen to Uncivil on Apple Podcasts | Overcast | Stitcher | Pocketcasts The Nod will be back next week with an all new episode!
