n this episode of Higher Learning, we break down the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk and the aftermath that's sending waves through politics and media. We also dive into Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, the ongoing debate around cancel culture, and what this means for celebrities and accountability. On a lighter note, we give our honest review of the Breezy Bowl and discuss why it feels like the city shows up more for mainstream concerts and events than it does for local culture and artists.

Tonight, we're diving into all the updates on what we know about the alleged shooter of Charlie Kirk. Trump and MAGA wasted no time painting this as the work of “violent leftist extremists,” but new information suggests the picture may be far more complicated, and not aligned with their narrative. Details are still emerging, but what we do know already raises big questions. Joining Don is comedian, actor, and radio host D.L. Hughley to break it all down. Then, an all-star panel takes the conversation further with author & commentator Wajahat Ali, author Tim Wise, Texas State Rep. Jolanda Jones, host of the Higher Learning podcast Van Lathan, and tech journalist Taylor Lorenz. It's a can't-miss discussion about facts, spin, and the dangerous politics of the moment.

How should schools, educators and students adapt accordingly? Synopsis: Join Natasha Ann Zachariah every Thursday, as she unpacks the latest current affairs with guests. In June, three students at the Nanyang Technological University received zero marks for an assignment after they were found to have used generative artificial intelligence tools, or Gen AI, in their work. They were penalised for academic misconduct as the assignments contained non-existent academic references and statistics or broken web links, the university said. The case drew wider attention after one of the students posted about it on online forum Reddit, sparking debate about the impact of AI on academic integrity. All six universities here generally allow students to use Gen AI to varying degrees, depending on the module or coursework. Students are required to declare when and how they use such tools to maintain academic integrity. With Gen AI creeping into everyday life and gaining popularity among students, when is it wrong or right to turn to AI for help with your studies? Given its likely prevalence in schoolwork, how should schools, educators and students adapt for the future? In this episode of The Usual Place Podcast, my three guests - Singapore Management University’s Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education Michelle Lee, final-year university student Zildjian Garcia and The Straits Times education correspondent Elisha Tushara, who is a former teacher - weighed in on the debate around AI tools for schoolwork and the future of learning. Highlights (click/tap above): 1:37 Was the initial punishment the three students received warranted? 5:36 How rampant is the use of Gen AI tools among faculty members and students? 7:54 Do educators have a love-hate relationship with Gen AI tools? 17:05 Why Elisha and Michelle are worried about their children losing resilience in learning 19:55 Zildjian points out that AI tool users “always forget” that they might not be accurate 22:13 Are Gen AI tools just a new way students are gaming the system to get their certificates? 27:02 Should AI literacy be made a compulsory module for Institutes of Higher Learning?

Get access to this entire episode as well as all of our premium episodes and bonus content by becoming a Hit Factory Patron for just $5/month.We went exceptionally long on the late John Singleton's undersung period western Rosewood, a film (and filmmaker) whose fingerprints are all over Ryan Coogler's recent box office sensation, Sinners. Rosewood tells the story of an independent Black township in Florida and the barbaric racial violence it faced in 1923, incited by a white woman's false accusation of assault and the Klan-assisted mob that followed. It's believed that over 100 Black citizens were murdered during the attacks, though the true number has never been properly counted.Despite the brutality, the legacy of Rosewood was forgotten—suppressed for nearly 60 years by both those who endured it and those who carried out the violence—until investigators uncovered the truth. That reckoning ultimately led to a 1994 vote in the Florida State Legislature to pay reparations to the survivors and their descendants.In Singleton's hands, the story of Rosewood becomes a rich, downtempo historical epic of properly grave tone; a film that never shies away from the violent realities of Black life in America's south in the early 20th century, the racial animus stoked by class anxieties and lingering slavery era resentments, and the complicity of white audiences and their ancestors in carrying out the violence that shaped our country's past and present.We discuss Singleton's inimitable capacity to juggle the rhythms of mainstream studio moviemaking with the formal radicalism of a Black story told with limited equivocation and compromise, as well as how blockbuster moviemaking primes us for absolution rather than honest reckoning. Then, we explore the rich character work within the film, how Singleton utlizies the embellishments of genre and archetype to root Blackness in a cinematic history linked conspicuously to white supremacy, and the refreshing stroke of having "no good white guys" in the movie. Finally, we relate the film to Coogler's latest, where it achieves a similar filmic mastery as well as where we feel it falls short of Singleton's vision.Read The Rosewood Massacre at Esquire MagazineWatch The 1983 Rosewood Massacre segment from 60 MinutesRead Robert Daniels on Sinners at Roger Ebert....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/crazyjames/bthdYoutubeInstagramBioLUTON, UK – June 2025 — British rapper Crazy James returns with his latest sonicfirestorm, “BTHD,” a track that fuses raw emotion, stunning lyrical agility, and head-nodding production into one unforgettable ride. With lush piano flourishes and a beatthat's as fresh as it is infectious, “BTHD” showcases Crazy James at the height of hisartistry—delivering a flow so passionate and magnetic, it's impossible not to feel it.“BTHD” stands for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Disorder—a title as intriguing as the recorditself. “I've always been a massive fan of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony,” James explains.“They're a big reason I started rapping. This song is really an homage to them and theirmelodic sound.” While the Cleveland legends never had the same breakout fame in theUK as in the States, Crazy James makes it clear that their influence runs deep in hisDNA.From the first piano note to the final verse, “BTHD” radiates energy and intent. Theproduction strikes a balance between classic and current, evoking nostalgia whilesounding distinctly 2025. James' delivery is sharp, emotionally charged, and beautifullydynamic, with verses that dance between reflective storytelling and fast-pacedwordplay. “When I heard the beat,” he recalls, “I had the melody in my head straightaway—singing it in the shower, humming it constantly. Even if it was gibberish, I had toget it down. Then I started shaping it into something real.”Fans of anime will find something extra to love in “BTHD” too, with James sneaking inreferences to Dragon Ball Z—a nod to his love of animation and layered lyricism. “I liketo play with words,” he says. “People always say I'm hard to categorize—but that's thepoint. There's no sound for me. I just create what's true.”The single is part of a larger creative vision that includes his forthcoming LP, featuringprevious releases like “Whip It,” “Levels,” “Killer Instincts,” and “Show Me”—many ofwhich have already caught the attention of BBC Introducing. “Everything on the album isintentional,” James says. “You won't skip a single track.”The new music video reflects that same cinematic ambition. It intertwines visuals forboth “BTHD” and “Killer Instincts,” carrying on a narrative thread started in the “Levels”video. “The goal was to make the visuals feel like a continuous story,” James shares.“There's even a teaser for the next single, ‘Higher Learning in Berlin.' We're planning tofilm in Berlin later this year.”What sets Crazy James apart isn't just his sound—it's the spirit behind it. Drawing on achildhood spent across Ghana, Belgium, Congo, Saudi Arabia, and the UK, Jameschannels a multicultural perspective into music that's rich with soul, struggle, andhonesty. Whether he's reflecting on mental health, fatherhood, or artistic integrity, hedoes so with an unshakable authenticity.“Performing live is hard,” he admits. “I give all my energy. But it's worth it. I rap toexpress what's inside me—and to let people know they're not alone.”Outside the studio and stage, James juggles a full-time job and fatherhood. “It's tough,”he says. “But I want to leave something behind—not just for my kids, but for the world.”With “BTHD,” Crazy James proves he's not just rapping—he's building a legacy.“Thank you for the support,” he says to fans. “Please keep sharing. More amazingmaterial is on the way.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

No sense in really bothering with a full-on review of director/creator Ryan Coogler's popular new motion picture SINNERS, as Google can get to one in podcast or article format in just a few seconds. However, Wood revisits a few more details and themes from the film by building off of RogerEbert.com contributor Robert Daniels' polarizing review - 2.5 out of 4 stars - of the Jim Crow era-based horror film. Another segment of the show takes a look at some of the recent behavior of Higher Learning podcast co-host Van Lathan. Over a couple recent episodes Lathan made a biting take about his rival Kanye West, and then had an interview with author Jason Wilson where he broke down into tears after seemingly dealing with being pressed by some in his circle. The podcast, or content, game can just be a very awkward space at times.

This week, DJ finds the one ring… in his Roomba.

Talking about my journey on returning to college and seeking a HIGHER LEARNING personally and professionally and even spiritually.

It's Casual Friday! Emma speaks with Mike Figueredo of the Humanist Report to round up the week in news. Then, she's joined by Van Lathan of the Higher Learning podcast! First, Emma runs through updates on Trump's dropping popularity (thanks to Elon), budding GOP criticism of the Trump/Musk regime, Trump's dismantling of the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force, Trump's funding freeze and mass firing, Elon's CPAC appearance, RFK's anti-vax maneuvers, Texas' (definitely unrelated) measles outbreak, Israel's best attempts to kill their Gaza ceasefire deal, and the confirmation of Kash Patel, also watching a flush-red MAGA district lay into Rep. Rich McCormick over Trump's insane executive coup. Mike Figueredo then joins, jumping right into his initial reactions to the Trump/Musk regime's sweeping destruction of the US government, before stepping back to expand a little on the particular insanity that is being a Democratic constituent at this point, with the overwhelming backlash to the impotence of Democratic Congresspeople finally boiling over at town halls and Democratic Leadership's media events. After expanding on the genuinely shocking rate at which Trump is executing the Project 2025 blueprint, Figueredo and Emma look to the impact of the Trump regime on emboldening cultures of bigotry in the US, from DHS' discrimination against queer folks to the suicide of a young Latina child after facing rampant anti-immigrant bigotry, before wrapping up the interview by emphasizing the need for the Democratic Party to advance an agenda of actual political change if they want to escape from the fascist quagmire of the last few election cycles. Van Lathan and Emma then dive deep into the state (surprisingly positive) of the Leftist media ecosystem, the utter failure of the Democratic Party to identify, speak to, or govern for their base, and why MAGA's obsession with liberal defectors is so enchanting to reactionary media figures. Lathan implores Emma to dip her podcasting toes into pop culture,  before wrapping up by touching on what he learned from covering Gaza. And in the Fun Half: Emma talks with Nora from Austin about Tim Pool's fiery foray into NASCAR sponsorships, before touching on Elon's CPAC meltdown and Rep. Greg Cesar's pushback to Elon's labor abuses. Kyle from Long Island unpacks RFK's lies about cell phone radiation, Leonard Peltier returns home, and conservatives help the media ponder whether a measles outbreak is actually that big of a deal, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's a very special New Year episode for The Assignment: a conversation with Emmy-winning comedian and writer Samantha Bee about the state of politics and how she's engaging with the political moment. Bee is known for her time as a correspondent on The Daily Show and her own late-night show, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. She is now the host of the podcast Choice Words.  Audie invites back her podcast friends for this conversation: Kara Swisher, host of On with Kara Swisher and co-host of Pivot, and Van Lathan, co-host of The Ringer's Higher Learning podcast. They also share their “Word of the Year” for 2024, and give a predictive word for 2025.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Samantha Bee is a comedian, author and former late-night host who hosts the podcast Choice Words with Samantha Bee and co-hosts The Daily Beast Podcast with Joanna Coles. Her weekly late-night comedy series, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee was nominated for over 70 awards — and she has personally been nominated for 18 Emmy awards and won for both writing and executive producing.  Full Frontal was explicitly, and hilariously, political and left-leaning so it's a bit surprising that Bee has declared herself Democrat-celibate, (at least for now). Samantha explains her new approach to politics and dishes on her biggest regret in this CNN pilot titled “Off Script” with Kara, Audie Cornish, CNN correspondent and host of The Assignment, and Van Lathan, co-host of The Ringer's Higher Learning podcast.
