In this episode, I'm joined by my longtime friend and world traveler, Nzingha Clarke . Nzingha offers a sharp and succinct reflection on the last five years of political complexity in America. With her verbal eloquence, she shares a deeply personal account of her experiences with gentrification in New York City—specifically through the lens of her life in Harlem and her efforts to protect her family home.Nzingha is one of my favorite thinkers. Her global travels have given her a multidimensional perspective on almost every subject, which consistently brings a refreshing take and an engaging listening experience.One thing is certain: Nzingha's words in this episode sound like a heartfelt love letter to Harlem.
In late May, Costa Rican police arrived in central Pavones at 4 a.m.—dressed in body armor, rifles in hand, and gas masks on—to escort demolition crews. Their mission: tear down local businesses. Residents, caught off guard, had to scramble just to salvage food and goods from inside the buildings. Shockingly, the local government of Golfito appears to be backing developers and demolition teams over the very citizens they were elected to serve.At the heart of the issue is a controversial slate of proposed luxury real estate developments. These projects threaten to reshape Pavones—impacting the environment, limiting beach access, and displacing local, family-run businesses.On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we are joined by Walter Brenes, a dedicated environmental lawyer standing alongside the local community against aggressive real estate developments. Walter shares the ongoing battle to protect Pavones' unique culture, environment, and heritage from gentrification and unlawful land concessions. We discover the historical context, current challenges, and the legal fight to save one of the world's most treasured surf breaks. This conversation explores the broader implications of unchecked development and the erosion of local communities worldwide. Tune in to learn how you can support Pavones and join the resistance.

Gotta celebrate the homegrown talent....On this episode we dive head first into a brand new local production that just got extended for another week at the Scotiabank Theatre here in Toronto. It's time for 'Boxcutter'Aspiring rapper, Rome, has all the talent and vision, but his crippling insecurity prevents him from sharing his music without a celebrity co-sign. When he learns that megastar producer Richie Hill will be making an appearance in Toronto's Parkdale neighbourhood, Rome devises a plan to get his album into Richie's hands.However, disaster strikes when Rome's apartment is burgled, and his only copy of the album is stolen.With the help of his activist-artist friend Jenaya, Rome sets out on a frantic mission to track down his four producers and reassemble his album. As they scour the gentrifying city, Rome struggles with self-doubt, while Jenaya challenges his need for industry approval, advocating for art that is as accessible as it is expressive.Hijinks ensue and their relationship is tested, but when Rome finally comes face to face with Richie Hill, he has a tough choice to make: finally pitch for that industry co-sign or take a leap of faith and bet on himself?While we've admittedly seen this kind of story before, it's rare to see a movie that is so specific to its surroundings as it oozes Toronto energy throughout and adds that many extra layers for those who live in the 416/905 getting to watch it.We had the pleasure of sitting down with director Reza Dahya to talk about the origings of the film, getting it all together, it's slick visual esthetic and the connections between music and film that run deeper then most of us realize.Check out 'Boxcutter' this weekend at the Scotiabank Theatre here in Toronto.

KNICKS IN 6!!!!!!!!jk.In today's episode, I discuss my mixed feelings about my beautiful city feeling a bit less united lately. From the changes I've seen since living here two summers 2015 & 2016 and moving here full time shortly after to through COVID to now, it is a little disappointing to see this place become divisive and isolated into social bubbles. New York was a place for misfits, creatives, disruptors, ambitious dreamers, and those who didn't belong anywhere who wanted to find themselves. It still is, but it seems like what is basic and popular is overwriting the local color and true meaning of what it means to be a New Yorker. From gentrification to social media to demographic shift to toxic mindsets tied with leaving NYC, I discuss a bit of everything. This city is the heart of so many industries and movements and is rich with so much history that I just want everyone who comes here to respect the communities, different cultures and people, and those who came before them.

With personal stories, sharp insights, and plenty of humor, this episode unpacks the tensions between old-school Bitcoiners and newcomers, the power of language, and what the future holds for the world's most disruptive technology.Interested in advertising on Billboard?Email us at partnerships@joinnextblock.com Get full access to Flirting With Bitcoin at www.flirtingwithbitcoin.com/subscribe

Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
On May 16, 2025, an EF3 tornado tore through the city of St. Louis causing massive destruction. Instead of responding with aid to those who were impacted, the city deployed police to black communities and condemned 5,000 homes and buildings without fully reviewing if these designations were warranted. Some homes were condemned even though repairs were made. Clearing the FOG speaks with President Westbrook of the St. Louis branch of the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement and Jesse Nevel, chair of the Uhuru Solidarity Movement, about what the city is currently doing to force Black residents from their homes, how this is part of a longer-term effort and why it is necessary to support residents there.

Hey y'all! This is an update on the future of this platform. My health has dictated that instead of leading with defying gentrification, I need to lead with crafting liberation. Or in other words, I need to center my art projects and imbue them with the values about community and collectivity that I've always honored. I'm tired of being sick and broke trying to make folks listen. So this podcast will be shifting focus, but keeping the same name for now. Oh and to make it clear from what the episode title is and why, here's my final word on Black folks and gentrification:Black folks, especially in the diaspora, but sometimes even in heavily colonized areas of our home continent, can facilitate gentrification over their own people. And of course it can happen to us. But until the day we globally admit that Black folks that aren't named Oprah, Beyonce, Tyler Perry, and other documented Black billionaires and millionaires can't be gentrifiers, we are done as a movement and as a people. Those people I named aren't above being followed, sanctioned, denied financing opportunities, and the like for what they are intending to do with their work, because of global white supremacy over the financing markets and sometimes just the pettiest of racisms and other isms we do need to process as a people.Also, I will have 15th anniversary celebration this falll, a showcase of what the future of Kristen Jeffers Media will hold.

Le tourisme et la gentrification permettent souvent de revitaliser des quartiers, mais ils sont aussi parfois une menace pour leur identité, et pour le confort de leurs habitants. En Afrique du Sud, dans la ville du Cap, le quartier de Bo-kaap en fait les frais. Ses petites maisons colorées à flanc de colline ravissent les usagers d'Instagram et autres visiteurs. Une situation de plus en plus difficile à tenir pour les habitants. Après plusieurs années de lutte, ils viennent d'obtenir que les bus touristiques ne soient plus autorisés à entrer dans le quartier. De notre envoyée spéciale au Cap,Ruelles pavées à flanc de colline, le quartier de Bo-Kaap, « au-dessus du Cap » en afrikaans, a des allures de village, en plein cœur de la métropole d'Afrique du Sud. Un village aux mille couleurs, avec ses petites maisons roses, vertes, bleues qui font la joie des touristes comme Nadira. « Qui ne voudrait pas venir ici ? C'est vraiment joli pour faire des photos. C'est une attraction touristique, donc il fallait vraiment qu'on passe par ici », s'enthousiasme-t-elle.Chaque jour, une foule de visiteurs envahit les ruelles étroites du petit quartier. Un succès difficile à gérer pour les habitants. « C'est très beau ici et on comprend tout à fait que les gens veulent venir et prendre des photos. Le problème, c'est le manque de respect qui vient avec. Certains touristes pensent qu'en venant ici, ils peuvent faire tout ce qu'ils veulent. Qu'il s'agisse d'ouvrir le portail de quelqu'un et de monter le perron pour prendre une photo. Ou de demander à un habitant : "est-ce que vous pouvez rentrer dedans parce que je veux une photo de votre maison ?" », s'indigne Jacky Poking, résidente et activiste.Les résidents viennent d'obtenir l'interdiction pour les bus touristiques de circuler dans les ruelles, après des années à le réclamer. Descendante des esclaves malais, cette communauté à majorité musulmane est installée ici depuis des générations et y a fondé la première mosquée du pays. Elle a développé de nombreuses traditions, menacées aujourd'hui par la gentrification. « Nos tarifs, comme l'eau et l'électricité, augmentent d'année en année. Il devient donc très difficile pour les habitants de rester dans le quartier, même s'ils le souhaitent. Surtout les personnes âgées. Souvent, ceux qui ont vendu ces dernières années l'ont fait parce qu'ils n'arrivaient plus à payer », se désole Jacky Poking.De plus en plus de maisons sont rachetées par des investisseurs, constate Zaki Harris, habitant et guide touristique. « Dans ces rues principales, une maison sur deux est habitée par un Sud-Africain. Entre les deux, on trouve des Airbnb et d'autres locations à court terme. Des maisons qui restent vides la moitié de l'année », regrette-t-il. Zaki milite pour un tourisme plus soucieux des traditions, et qui profite davantage à la communauté, qui pour l'instant en perçoit peu les retombées. « Si nous ne promouvons pas un meilleur tourisme, il sera beaucoup plus difficile pour nos enfants de pouvoir garder le lien avec leur patrimoine culturel », estime-t-il. Difficile pour la petite communauté de résister aux assauts de la ville. Elle n'a pas réussi à empêcher la construction d'un immeuble de six étages en bordure du quartier.À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: le télévangéliste Timothy Omotoso à nouveau arrêté dans une affaire d'immigration

Ruth Glass (1912-1990) was a British sociologist and urban planner known for coining the term “gentrification” in 1964 to describe the transformation of working-class neighborhoods by middle-class newcomers. Her work focused on urban change, housing policy, and social inequality, particularly in London.

These activists, writers, artists, and scholars used language to shape ideas and give voice to experiences that once had no name. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.

Author Sarah Schulman talks with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ about her new book “The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity” published by Penguin Random House. Schulman is a longtime social activist from the fight for abortion rights in post-Franco Spain to NYC's AIDS activism in the 1990s to campus protest movements against Israel's war on Gaza and beyond bringing her own experience growing up as a queer female artist in male-dominated culture industries. In these challenging times as our democracy is at a moral crossroad, this must-read book couldn't be more timely. For those who seek to combat injustice, solidarity with the oppressed is one of the highest ideals yet it does not come without complication. In this searing yet uplifting book Sarah delves into the intricate and often misunderstood concept of solidarity to provide a new vision for what it means to engage in this work and why it matters. Here in America with this new administration we're beginning to understand and realize that the only people that will save us from this authoritarian regime are ourselves. Drawing parallels between queer, Jewish, feminist and artistic struggles for justice Schulman challenges the traditional notion of solidarity as a simple union of equals arguing that in today's world of globalized power structures true solidarity requires the collaboration of bystanders and conflicted perpetrators with the excluded and oppressed. Currently in America we are learning that action comes at a cost and it is not always as effective as we would like it to be but doing nothing is far more dangerous. We talked to Sarah about these current issues and her inspiration for writing “The Fantasy and Necessity of Solidarity”. Sarah Schulman is a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, nonfiction writer and AIDS historian. Her books include The Gentrification of the Mind, Conflict Is Not Abuse and Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987–1993 and the novels The Cosmopolitans and Maggie Terry. Schulman's honors include a Fulbright in Judaic Studies, a Guggenheim in Playwriting and honors from Lambda Literary, the Publishing Triangle, NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists, the American Library Association and others. Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker, New York, Harper's Magazine, The Atlantic, The Nation, The New Republic, The New York Times and The Guardian. Schulman holds an endowed chair in creative writing at Northwestern University and is on the advisory board of Jewish Voice for Peace. For More Info… LISTEN: 600+ LGBTQ Chats @OUTTAKE VOICES

À Mexico City, dans les quartiers de la Condesa et la Roma, très prisés des touristes et des étrangers, la sauce piquante ne pique plus. Dans les taquerias, ces traditionnels stands de vente de tacos que tous les Mexicains dégustent arrosés de sauce pimentée, le piment a été banni. Cela peut paraître anecdotique, mais veut dire beaucoup sur la gentrification de cette partie de la ville. Reportage de notre correspondante à Mexico City, Marine Lebègue.Dette haïtienne : après les annonces d'Emmanuel Macron, des réactions mitigéesPour l'homme d'affaires et auteur haïtien Jerry Tardieu, joint par RFI, l'annonce d'une commission mixte franco-haïtienne est « une première étape qui doit en appeler d'autres ». L'homme politique insiste, cela ne devra pas être seulement un travail mémoriel aboutissant à des mesures symboliques. « Il faut du concret (…) une forme de compensation (…) Le pays est à l'agonie, il faut que cette commission aboutisse à donner les moyens à Haïti de se battre contre l'insécurité » et de se développer.Dans les rues de Port-au-Prince, notre reporter Peterson Luxama a recueilli la parole d'Haïtiens en demande de réparation et restitution, deux termes éludés par le communiqué de la présidence française publié hier. « Cela doit prendre la forme d'un dédommagement. Cette sois disant dette a plombé notre économie. Je pense que le seul mot qu'on aimerait entendre aujourd'hui, c'est le mot restitution », déclare Roobens Isma, étudiant, à notre journaliste.Haïti : en Artibonite, la vie rendue impossible par les gangsÀ Port-au-Prince, comme dans le département de l'Artibonite, au nord, les habitants sont descendus dans la rue, fin mars, pour réclamer aux autorités des actions concrètes pour lutter contre cette insécurité. Dans la commune de Petite Rivière de l'Artibonite, contrôlée par le gang « Gran Grif » (le plus violent de la région), la population exige une réponse musclée de la Police nationale haïtienne. Reportage sur place de notre correspondant Ronel Paul.États-Unis : une photo de l'habitant du Maryland, Salvadorien, expulsé par erreur, à la Une de la presseSur cette photo, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Salvadorien expulsé par erreur des États-Unis, est attablé dans le hall d'un hôtel de San Salvador avec le sénateur démocrate Van Hollen.Le père de famille, résident dans le Maryland est vêtu d'une chemise à carreaux et d'une casquette. « Ces photos renvoient une atmosphère bien différente de celle d'une prison surpeuplée », les deux hommes étant assis dans un hall d'hôtel, « au sol ciré », « avec une végétation luxuriante en arrière-plan », analyse le New York Times.La photo a été repostée aussi par le président salvadorien, autoritaire et fervent supporter de Donald Trump. Nayib Bukele se permet une légende moqueuse, rapportée par Politico : « Kilmar Abrego Garcia miraculeusement ressuscité des camps de la mort et de torture, en train de siroter une margarita ». Mais d'après les informations du New York Times, c'est un assistant de Bukele qui aurait servi les cocktails et tenté de mettre en scène la photo.En Floride, une tuerie fait au moins 2 morts et 6 blessésLe suspect de 20 ans, abattu sur place par la police, a agi avec l'arme de service de sa mère, adjointe du shérif du comté de Leon. Le Miami Herald raconte la panique sur place, « les ordinateurs et sacs encore éparpillés dans l'herbe du campus ». « Tout le monde est en colère, je ne comprends juste pas comment cela peut arriver », déclare un étudiant. La tuerie ravive aussi de douloureux souvenirs en Floride. Certains parents des victimes de la tuerie de Parkland, en 2018, ont désormais des enfants étudiants dans l'université de Tallahassee. « Mon cœur a lâché », décrit une mère de famille au Miami Herald, « c'était un effrayant 'déjà vu' ». Elle ajoute : « Arrêtez la politique et protégez nos enfants. On ne peut pas devenir insensible à ces tueries. On doit bien mieux à nos enfants ». À la Une du journal des Outre-mers, de notre partenaire La 1eLa Martinique commémore les 17 ans de la mort du penseur et écrivain Aimé Césaire.
On today’s special edition of "Closer Look," Rose and the team take listeners out into the community. First, we begin with a climate gentrification tour in Atlanta's Old Fourth Ward neighborhood. Rose talks with Adrienne Rice, the executive director of Sustainable Georgia Futures, about the nonprofit’s mission to help specific communities grow and thrive in the green industry. We also hear from Genesis Tilman, Drew Barnes and Liyaah Rocha who participated in the walking tour. Plus, Edgewood Garden is a place for community. The urban greenspace, operated by the Wylde Center, was once the site of an apartment building. It was transformed into a community garden back in 2012, part of a revitalization effort to serve residents of the area. It now has a playground, picnic benches, honeybees, butterflies, fruit trees, vegetable beds and more. But one of the garden’s most popular attributes is its chickens. Rose talks with Jennifer Gerndt, Matty Garrett, Gordon Dyker of the Wylde Center to learn more about Edgewood Garden and its nature center. We also hear from Heath Ward, the co-founder of City Chick, who discusses people’s growing interest in raising their own chickens as egg prices rise.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Homeownership is the American Dream.” This saying is so ingrained in our zeitgeist that most Americans don't even pause to question it. However, according to the Black Knights Home Price Index, the average US home price increased nearly 80% from April 2015 to April 2023. Census data reveals that the median household income only increased by 4% during this period. Homeownership has thus become increasingly out of reach, especially for young professionals. So, how did the American Dream become an American nightmare?In his brand new book, “Stuck: How the Privileged in the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity,” The Atlantic's Deputy Editor Yoni Appelbaum offers a contrarian view, arguing that the crisis in American homeownership isn't actually about cost—it's about mobility. There are many places in America where housing remains affordable and even dirt cheap. The problem is that those affordable options are in less desirable locations, with fewer opportunities for high-quality jobs, education, and health care. Thus, young professionals continue to migrate to communities where opportunities are bountiful, but housing is not.Appelbaum joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss how Americans got “stuck.” Why does mobility matter so much? What are the implications of reduced mobility for Americans' faith in capitalism and the belief that our country is still the land of opportunity? If treating a home as an investment—which many of us do—means less mobility, is being “stuck” so wrong for society? Together, the three of them unpack this entangled question of mobility, homeownership, and what it means for the reformulation of the American Dream.Capitalisn't episodes mentioned:Shattering Immigration Myths: Data Beyond Borders, with Leah BoustanRaj Chetty's Surprising New Insights on How Children SucceedWhat Happened to the American Dream?

The show opens with Jason “Mayhem” Miller reading the news including stories about Trump signing an executive order proclaiming there are only two biological sexes, Joe Biden pardoning his family and Dr. Fauci in his final minutes in office, and Sen. John Fetterman arriving at Trump's inauguration in a hoodie & shorts. Next, comedian Ari Shaffir returns to the show to discuss his new Netflix special “America's Sweetheart.” They also discuss how his recent success comes from his lack of caring, the renewed acceptance of offensive comedy, having sex in the trunk of a Volkswagen Jetta, and the pitfalls of dirty talk. Then, Adam & Ari react to clips of a British cyclist who refused to use the bike lane, Scott Galloway explaining why he bet $358k on Kamala to win, and an old “Man Show” sketch. They also talk about the gentrification of Ari's neighborhood in NY, Howie Mandel's popcorn bucket, and whether or not there was FBI mixed into the protestors on January 6th.
