The discussion about whether board game reviews should be paid for comes up regularly. Arguments can centre on the moral angle, come from a legal viewpoint or be purely personal opinions. More often than not, what is being debated is not well defined and the discourse starts to drift into different, seemingly opposing, directions. In this article, I want to try and untangle the topic and focus on maybe one or two specific areas.

In this episode we hit a variety of topics: Thanks to the Fed, interest rates are going up and yet Inflation remains very high. The housing market is on the brink of collapse. The midterm elections are happening right now and the Supreme Court is back in session. Paul Pelosi was injured and there is a lot of speculation around it. Then finally we spend a lot of time discussing an Atlantic article calling for "Pandemic Amnesty".

Everyone has heard about the rise of CRT or Critical Race Theory which is often vaguely defined as the "Woke" version of viewing racism. But there is much more to Critical Theory than just the race aspect. It is in fact a much broader umbrella with a surprisingly lengthy origin story and many iterations that have crept into almost every nook and cranny of the modern western world. We discuss the flaws in its methods that will help you deal with critical theory wherever you find it. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: GR Stocks on Unsplash
Who decides what's true? That's a nuanced question, but who decides what people get to share is much clearer. We talk about social media companies and the role they play in controlling information and how they go about it. We also discuss the high-profile issue where they got it horribly wrong with Covid-19.

Back in episode 30 we discussed the systemic problems with the student loan system and what could be done to fix it. In this episode, we talk about the specifics of the student loan forgiveness plan (including several parts that are more important than the 10,000-20,000 that is forgiven), and whether or not these changes will fix or make the systemic problems worse. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Nathan Dumlao on Unsplash
In this episode Brad and Dan discuss the current federal budget and the deficit. We focus on why the budget and deficit grow every year and why no reasonable solutions have been successful. One key part of this is the infamous Social security dilemma as well as all the mandatory spending in the entitlement programs.

We promised to finish our discussion of Austrian economics, but first we have to address the rulings of the Supreme Court from this Summer term and consider their ramifications. We discuss the overturn of Roe v. Wade, the striking down of New York gun laws, changes to prayer in school, and a change in criminal appeals. Then we talk about the future and what it may look like under this supreme court. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Ian Hutchinson on Unsplash Links to discussed primary cases: Shinn v. Ramirez Kennedy v. Bremerton School District New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization
We promised a full episode discussing some of the principles and precepts of Austrian Economics. This week we delivered. You're welcome. Austrian economics lays a foundation for understanding the current economy including inflation and the market crash. We start with the basics of human action and go through the logic of free exchange. We also learn all kinds of interesting things like Brad's hierarchy of candy bars, marginal utility, and how to maximize your Halloween candy.

New York Times Chief Theatre Critic, Jesse Green, just published a potent article entitled "Is It Finally Twilight for the Theater's Sacred Monsters?" and we need to talk about it.

In this episode, Dan discusses the shifting tide of politics in business alone while Brad welcomes his second child. For a few years now, the politics of Ibram X Kendi and others have dominated the business world. Boardrooms have become increasingly "woke" as they capitulate to noisy employees and Twitter users. That tide is changing. We can see it in the success of the Daily Wire at selling razors, the cultural stance of Netflix, and even in the future of CNN. But nowhere is this more clear than in the battle between Elon Musk and Twitter employee culture. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Jeremy Bezanger on Unsplash
We're going to start our deconstruction journey by examining the implicit assumptions a lot of people seem to have about directing and offer a counter perspective. Most of these will be returned to in full episodes, but my hope is that this is a good snapshot of the issues in the field and the necessity for change.

In this episode we look at frightening trends and problems in the US. While there are always problems in the world, some of these problems group together in frightening ways. Baby formula shortages, the stock market tanking, inflation still going up, crime rates going up, and much more. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Wesley Tingey on Unsplash
Something is broken in the field of directing. A new paradigm manifesto, Deconstructing Directing is a blog, podcast, and TikTok series about the field of directing and how we can fix it. Episode 01: The Why, introduces listeners to creator Andrew Roblyer (they/he) and the impetus behind this series.

On this episode of Untying Knots, we explore the relationship between communities of color and political power by turning to a case study of electoral organizing in the US Pacific Northwest. George Cheung, Director of More Equitable Democracy (MED), joins us to discuss how the American winner-take-all electoral system is not only failing to generate real democratic governance but also creating disproportionate harm on communities of color. In response, MED is organizing Black, Indigenous and people of color voters as critical stakeholders to advance electoral reform and racial justice. Cheung and team are keen on learning from examples throughout global history and working towards a more equitable future. As he notes, “We've constructed these systems, we can deconstruct them too.”Notes:Untying Knots, co-hosted by Nikhil Raghuveera and Erica Licht, explores how people and organizations are untying knots of systemic oppression and working towards a more equitable future.

Elon is trying to buy Twitter, an Amazon facility in New York unionized, and others might follow suit. In this episode we discuss these two events, and how they reveal an illogical and counterintuitive world that is modern corporate and union law.

With soaring inflation and rising gas prices, everyone agrees that the rising prices are terrible. One of the common causes that people point to is greedy corporations that are raising prices when they don't need to. We discuss this theory and the economic principles at play in the price gouging and consider profit vs profiteering. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Yassine Khalfalli on Unsplash
In our first interview episode, we get the extraordinary opportunity to speak with author Seth Radwell and discuss his Amazon bestselling book American Schism: How the Two Enlightenments Hold the Secret to Healing Our Nation. We discuss with Seth why he felt compelled to take a hiatus from a very successful career in business and the lessons we can draw from his reading of philosophy and history. We then dive into how those ideas can be applied today to understand our current situation and to correct the current ailments of our broken political system. Seth has recently started a campaign on college campuses to "fight unreason with reason" which you can support or join at https://fuwr.org Buy the book American Schism https://www.amazon.com/American-Schism-Enlightenments-Secret-Healing/dp/1626348618 Follow Seth: Twitter: @SRadwell https://www.linkedin.com/in/sradwell https://www.facebook.com/sethdradwell/ Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod

It's been two years since Covid arrived and the accompanying lockdowns brought a portion of the US economy to a standstill. Now we take a look at where our economy is today in light of shipping issues, inflation, Fed-interest-rate hikes, gas prices, and more. We also discuss the partisan question: “How much of the good and bad are Biden's fault.” Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Towfiqu barbhuiya on Unsplash
Preserving Seats at the Table: White-Dominated BoardsIn this special episode of Untying Knots, hosts Erica Licht and Nikhil Raghuveera share a discussion from the 2021 Truth and Transformation Conference, hosted by the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project on October 14-15th 2021. The conference brought together a range of scholars, organizers, students, and organizational leaders to address whether organizations have lived up to the statements, commitments, and promises they made to racial equity the year before.This panel, titled “Preserving Seats at the Table,” addressed the power of boards to steer equitable change for their companies, and what is at stake if they don't. The discussion applied a power analysis to organizational hierarchy and power, by taking a closer look at the positions white leaders occupy, and their collusion with resistance to change. Ultimately, the panel addressed central questions including: how do boards sustain the status quo of racialized power, and how can they use their privilege towards an antiracist future?Featuring experts:Trina Jackson, Senior Solidarity Program Officer, Grassroots International US Internationalist ProgramSamantha Tweedy, President, Black Economic Alliance FoundationRebecca Shuster, Assistant Superintendent of Equity, Boston Public SchoolsCheryl Mills, Founder & CEO, The BlackIvy GroupJeffrey Ginsburg, Executive Director, East Harlem Tutorial ProgramYou can find Untying Knots episodes, including more discussions from the 2021 Truth and Transformation conference, wherever you get your podcasts, and, on the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project website: https://ash.harvard.edu/iaraNotes:Untying Knots, co-hosted by Nikhil Raghuveera and Erica Licht, explores how people and organizations are untying knots of systemic oppression and working towards a more equitable future.

Equity Takes Time, Commitment, & DisruptionIn this special episode of Untying Knots, hosts Erica Licht and Nikhil Raghuveera share a discussion from the 2021 Truth and Transformation Conference, hosted by the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project on October 14-15th 2021. The conference brought together a range of scholars, organizers, students, and organizational leaders to address whether organizations have lived up to the statements, commitments, and promises they made to racial equity the year before.The second panel of the day, titled “Equity Takes Time, Commitment, & Disruption,” explored what organizational commitments to sustaining racial equity work look like in practice—through both challenges and successes. The panelists discussed what they have experienced in facing reconciliation and loss during systemic change, through examples from their nonprofit, organizing, and philanthropy work. Responding to paramount questions from the field, they weighed in on: What is at stake if we change?

Oil Embargo, Russian Advance, Nuclear War. These are just a few of the topics we discuss as we look at the continued conflict in Ukraine. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Zbynek Burival on Unsplash
In 2012 there was a mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown Connecticut where one shooter killed 26 people, most of whom were children. Just last week the gun manufacturer Remington settled for 73 million dollars with the families and survivors who sued them almost a decade ago. The question is: what responsibility if any falls on manufacturers for the misuse of their products? In this episode, we discuss the practical details of the lawsuit and the ramifications on both gun control and civil suits. We also get into the question of justice: Am I responsible for what you do wrong with what I make? Are there things I need to do or not do to avoid culpability? And so on. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: STNGR Industries on Unsplash
As the tension between Russia and Ukraine peaks (again), we attempt to make heads or tails of the current conflict. In addition, we discuss the Olympic drug scandal and how that stems from the politicization of the Olympics. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Diego González on Unsplash
In the last episode, we discussed Joe Rogan in the context of the degradation of news media. In this episode, we look at James O'Keefe, another controversial individual who is challenging the current narratives. We discuss what Project Veritas is doing, why it is necessary, and address some of the concerns raised by their somewhat unusual methods. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Bernard Hermant on Unsplash
In this episode we cover several of the current major news stories, from the Freedom Convoy in Canada to Justice Brayer retiring. Then we focus on the the recent controversy surrounding Joe Rogan. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: The Verge theverge.com
Money Left on the Table: Unpacking The Economic Argument for DiversityIn this special episode of Untying Knots, hosts Erica Licht and Nikhil Raghuveera share a discussion from the 2021 Truth and Transformation Conference, hosted by the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project on October 14-15th 2021. The conference brought together a range of scholars, organizers, students, and organizational leaders to address whether organizations have lived up to the statements, commitments, and promises they made to racial equity a year before.This panel, titled “Money Left on the Table,” addressed the economic argument for diversity and discussed two central questions: Does this argument even make sense? And why hasn't everyone already won? Key leaders from various organizational vantage points weighed in and provided insight on how they witness and address resistance to antiracist change.

The past year we have covered many criminal trials and discussed various flaws with the current system. In this episode, we take time to discuss the current criminal justice system broadly, principles of criminal justice theory, and specific ways they can be applied to improve the system.

The Supreme Court recently ruled on two "agency created'' vaccine mandates. One of them was upheld, the other was struck down. In this episode we delve into why they ruled the way they did and what that means for the future of the largest growing branch of government: The Administrative State. In addition, we also cover some wild polling numbers that demonstrate a major shift in party alignment in 2021.

For almost two years we've been told the goal was to prevent as many people as possible from getting. For many, the only acceptable number was zero cases. We were told that preventing even one death was worth almost any cost. Now Fauci says "just about everybody" will get it. Now, the CDC says that the quarantine should be shortened to 5 days out of the blue. For many, these changes can be explained away by the emergence of Omicron. But the reality is that these policy and messaging changes are the result of politics, not science. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Jennifer Griffin on Unsplash
Starting with a discussion of Abigail Shrier and her book Irreversible Damage, Brad and Dan discuss various Trans issues and related political principles. In particular, we focus on the question of of parental authority vs state authority vs the rights of the child. We also touch on all kinds of related issues such as what constitutes abuse. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Caleb Woods on Unsplash
We've discussed the intellectual Cold War between Sam Harris and Bret Weinstein. Both Bret and Sam have addressed the societal response to Covid and hold opposing positions. The main problem is that Bret wants to get together and discuss the data while Sam doesn't. In the latest salvo from Sam, we were hoping to see a change in tactics. After all, Sam himself admits that his approach hasn't been persuasive. Instead, we saw more of the same: appeals to authority, an unwillingness to treat the opposition as an equal intellectual opponent, and failure to respond to specific data-driven arguments against his position. In this episode, Brad & Dan discuss the modern world of information access and the need for institutions to accept that reality. We also explore various developments in the Covid debates. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo by Christopher Michel on Wikimedia
Ask just about anyone and they will agree that something is wrong with the world, but they won't agree on what is wrong or what caused it. The pandemic/response has messed a lot of things up, but that is only a part of the puzzle. In this episode, Brad and Dan have an open ended discussion on what is wrong, how it got that way, and what if anything we can do about it. While doing so we discuss things like Twitter, Abortion, Gun Laws and even Federalism. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Jordy Meow on Unsplash

Kendi, author, and Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University, kicked off the conference with a JFK Jr. Forum discussion co-hosted by Harvard's Institute of Politics. Dr. Khalil Gibran Muhammad, IARA's Director, moderated the conversation which engaged the critical need for deep historical reckoning, the false zero-sum game that has developed on what is at stake in our communities, as well as the ways that racism as a system hurts all of us.You can find Untying Knots episodes, including more discussions from the 2021 Truth and Transformation conference, wherever you get your podcasts, and, on the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project website: https://ash.harvard.edu/iaraNotes:Untying Knots, co-hosted by Nikhil Raghuveera and Erica Licht, explores how people and organizations are untying knots of systemic oppression and working towards a more equitable future.

What does Chrystal Kizer have in common with Darrel Brooks? Not much honestly. One killed her trafficker when she was seventeen, the other was a repeat offender who ran over and killed several people while injuring many others. But they are both getting attention because their cases are glaring examples of serious flaws in our current criminal justice system.In this episode we look at these cases as well as several others to see how we can get more justice from the criminal justice system.

After three days of deliberations, the jury found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty on all counts. Which for the most part, puts an end to this case. But the political fallout from this case has just started. So in this episode we discuss what should be straightforward facts of the case that are constantly confused and how so many are drawing their own conclusions based on political ideology rather than reality. We also cover what self defense actually means, and how it applies in this case. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: CNN
With the jury still deliberating and the nation holding its breath, we discuss the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. We also discuss the CDC's change in goal posts for Covid 19 and the newly announced University of Austin.

Technology companies today serve as gatekeepers to everyday life, overseeing and influencing everything from communication to payments, in addition to access to information. This outsized role among some of the largest firms in the world, however, poses an exacerbated threat to Black, Indigenous, and people of color already harmed by inequitable systems. The current landscape of racial equity efforts in Silicon Valley also showcases the limitations for marginalized people to access power and lead decisions in tech innovation. Will emerging technology produce harmful surveillance and discrimination, or even reproduce digital forms of the same systemic oppression we've seen throughout history? Mutale Nkonde, Founder of AI For the People, speaks with us about her work to expose the realities of racism in artificial intelligence algorithms, as well as her vision to advance equitable change in the tech industry.Notes:Untying Knots, co-hosted by Nikhil Raghuveera and Erica Licht, explores how people and organizations are untying knots of systemic oppression and working towards a more equitable future.

We are less than halfway through, yet November has already been a crazy month for politics. The House finally passed the Infrastructure Bill that Biden had been struggling to get through, OSHA finally released the Vaccine Mandate for businesses, and the November 2nd elections were a Republican tidal wave. In this episode, we take a look at these developments and offer our analysis of where all of this is going. We also discuss the factions within both parties and specifically what a future Republican Tyranny could look like.

In this episode Brad and Dan take a look at an argument that is frequently used in favor of central planning as opposed to an unrestricted market. That argument is this: look at all of the well off and successful socialist modern utopia like Singapore and Sweden, they are much better off than the US using a free market system. To answer this we use a couple of data sets to analyze the differences in the economies of several different nations and consider the causes of their prosperity.

If you're listening to any of the most popular political commentaries today, you've probably heard about the rising threat of modern China. In this episode, we take a look at recent events in the Chinese economy like Evergrande and how their system will affect their power as a player in the international scene in the future.

Everyone is familiar with Biden's proposed vaccine mandate and the arguments about the pros and cons are already pretty well laid out. So today we discuss how we got to this point. How haver we reached a place where an organization like OSHA is issuing vaccine mandates and the CDC creates rental policy? We then discuss what is so dangerous about this bureaucratic system and some of the alternatives. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Pop & Zebra on Unsplash
With the new Texas abortion law going into effect, abortion is once again a hot topic. In this episode, we look at this new Texas law and the history of Roe v. Wade. While we cover the constitutional questions, we focus on the moral questions beyond the political rhetoric and explore where the legal system could develop these ideas further.

History has always had a significant role in politics. Since the rise of the 1619 project, and the subsequent controversy, the role of American history is increasingly a mainstream concern. What we believe about history is at least as important as what actually happened. In this episode, we discuss historical narratives and their profound effect on shaping our worldview. To illustrate this connection, we do some myth busting of common conservative and liberal interpretations of the founding.

After 20 years of direct U.S. military involvement, it only took days for the Taliban to take over Afghanistan. And as both Americans and Afghans struggle to flee Kabul, many in the American Media have condemned Biden for causing this whole mess. But like most things the answer is not so simple. Brad and Dan attempt to make sense of what happened and see if we can start to glean any lessons from this tragedy. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Jim Huylebroek for The New York Times
After the initial surge of businesses and employees returning back to work, the economy has stalled. In this episode we take a look at some of the causes of this phenomenon and why it's been called “The Great Resignation”. We consider the role of bargaining power, unemployment incentives, and more.

Of all of the people discussing politics, Jordan Peterson is among the most unique. We discuss some of our thoughts on Jordan Peterson and how his ideas are primarily apolitical in a world where most people see politics as the primary instrument of change. We also discuss the severe limitations of viewing the problems of the world through an exclusively political lens. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Ravi Roshan

Repetition is the foundation of knowledge. A student repeats vocabulary. An athlete repeats a physical movement. An apprentice repeats a task. A reporter repeats what someone else said so that it can be heard. Whether memorizing, practicing, recounting, drilling, or mastering, repetition is a common denominator of all forms of education. More than this, in Scripture, repetition represents an attention to detail intent on telling a story as it unfolds, literally, with no allowance for assumptions. Scripture does not talk about a story; Scripture is the story!Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Matthew 25:34-40.Episode 390 Matthew 25:34-40; Music:Beauty Flow by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5025-beauty-flowLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Everyone agrees that there are serious problems with Healthcare but it's difficult to see what exactly causes those problems. The healthcare system in the US does not operate like any other industry, but who is making the rules and why is it so confusing? In this episode we delve into incentives within the healthcare system and try to reach the fundamental problems. Thankfully, there are some good examples out there of innovators who are bypassing the system and which provide some insight forward.

For several years the government of China has had internment camps in which they have incarcerated over one million of the Uyghur people without those people committing any crime. This has resulted in an international debate about the nature of Human Rights and what governments are justified in doing for the greater good. So we take this chance to look at what happens when Human Rights and Utilitarianism goes head to head. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Wikimedia
In the 70 years since George Orwell's 1984 was published, its ideas have become a staple of American high schools and universities. In our very first video episode, we dive into the principles of 1984 and how much of it's dystopian world has become a reality. With concepts like doublethink, thought police, and Big Brother, Orwell's warnings are more pertinent today than ever.

Today, there is a rising popularity for the economic theory known broadly as socialism. In this episode, we dive into not only why it has become popular again, but also what socialism actually is and, just as importantly, what it is not. We also explore why we are seeing resurgence in these ideas. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Wikimedia Commons
In a follow up to our last episode, we dive further into the deeply disturbing sources of partisanship. In particular we look at the basis for the intellectual arrogance of Liberals that causes them to confirm their own biases while completely dismissing Conservative. We also address what we as individuals can do to avoid dehumanizing and disregarding those who disagree with us. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Meritt Thomas on Unsplash
Since we first started this podcast we've been talking about how ugly the relationship between the two parties has been. And in the last year, that has only gotten worse. As part of that decline, there has been a rise in distrust and an increase in our willingness to believe the worst of each other. Today we dive into some of the deep rooted reasons that lead to some to distrust everything and disengage completely and why some people tend to see what they want to see.

The conflict between Israel and Gaza has been going on for several days now with no end in sight. Everyone and their dog here in the US has offered their simple one sentence solutions to solve it. But this conflict is not just weeks or decades old, and in order to have real solutions we need to first understand the whole picture. In this episode we do a little of that by looking at the history of Israel as well as some of the history and current factors that play into the current struggle.

Everyone can see that the housing market is going crazy, but is this going to be another crash like in 08? To answer this and other related questions, we dig into why the market is acting the way it is, what could happen in the future, and what can be done to make that future better. All of these are wrapped up in economic principles that, when understood, can be used to interpret many other other events. Music: Beauty Flow by Kevin Macleod Photo: Paul Brennan on Pixabay
In this episode, we discuss Biden's speech to Congress marking 100 days in office. In this speech, Biden announces two bills that replace the Infrastructure Bill: The American Jobs Bill and the American Families Bill. These bills and the language Biden uses to try and persuade Congress to pass them show one of the main problems with modern politics. Politicians and the voters who select them do not understand economics. And because they don't understand economics, they fail to fully realize all of the hidden costs inherent in any government action. We dive into what these costs are and why understanding them fundamentally changes the way you look at and solve the myriad issues that politicians misdiagnose on a regular basis.

Last week, the White House officially sanctioned Russia for their interference in the 2020 election. This was touted as a strong stance by President Biden and a clear breakaway from Trump's pro-Russia Policy. In this episode we take a look at why that is misleading and how politics drives so much of foreign policy. We also discuss the moral standard of foreign policy, how close America has been to that standard, and some of the major players on the international scene.

In this week's episode, I cover top fuel dragsters, the quickest accelerating cars in the world. These drag cars use V8 engines based on a 1960s Hemi engine. These cars use a supercharger and nitromethane fuel to create an amazing 8,000 hp, (yes, the 3 zeros are correct). With this power these cars have a 0-60 time of 0.8 seconds and can travel 1000 feet in under 4 seconds, top speed is around 330 mph. Thanks for listening!

In 2020, during the height of COVID-19, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe was at the US Supreme Court fighting not just to survive a pandemic, but to hold onto their tribal land rights. This case, in addition to the landmark ruling of Sharp v. Murphy in July 2020, emphasizes the ongoing fight of Tribal nations for claims to parts — not even all — of their original and granted land. Yet, US political oppression against Native people is baked into the foundations of the United States, including colonization and removal of Native people from their ancestral homes, to make way for white settlerism and slavery. Over the last four hundred years these processes of control, removal, theft, and broken treaties have extended in every direction from Mississippi to Washington.In this episode of Untying Knots, hosts Erica Licht (Senior Fellow at the IARA Project of Ash Center) and Nikhil Raghuveera (Nonresident Fellow at the Atlantic Council GeoTech Center) focus on Native land rights and sovereignty. Through interviews with key members of the Chickasaw Nation and the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, we explore how two Tribes are fighting in the US legal system for their land and rightful recognition. Mari Halbutta and Talia Landry put into perspective recent litigation amidst a broader history of political oppression and violence. The cases reveal renewed attempts at erasure and termination of Native people, and in turn, unwavering Native organizing and resistance.Notes:Untying Knots, co-hosted by Nikhil Raghuveera and Erica Licht, explores how people and organizations are untying knots of systemic oppression and working towards a more equitable future. Each episode features special guests and a focus on thematic areas across society.

McLaren F1 In this episode, I cover the McLaren F1, the greatest road-legal sports car of all time. Powered by an NA V12 built by BMW, inspired by the Honda NSX, this car would not only dominate the public road but also the race track going on to win the 24 Hours of LeMan. Built with no compromises the F1 used the cutting edge of materials and technology including a gold lined engine bay and ground effect fans. Thanks for Listening!

During this pandemic and the current political climate, people have turned to sports for entertainment on a weekly, or daily basis. Every week there are multiple MMA bouts around the world that we can dedicate our time to. We turn to sports to escape aspects of life. In this episode, we discuss how we use sports as an escapist activity, to distract us from our daily lives. Everyone treats sports differently. We explore the ways people treat sports and how we incorporate it into our own lives. How do we escape with sports? In what ways is it healthy, or unhealthy? (Music: "Beauty Flow" by Kevin Macleod).
Following the end of the Civil War, Southern states immediately sought to limit the freedoms of Black Americans through laws known as black codes, and to prevent exercise of their right to vote through felon disenfranchisement laws, poll taxes, and literacy tests. These same racist institutional barriers still exist today—some in exact name—and also suppress Indigenous and other People of Color voters. Community organizers and policy experts are on the frontlines engaging and supporting voters, while challenging systemically racist voting practices to realize a more equitable democratic process.In this episode of Untying Knots, hosts Erica Licht (Senior Fellow at the IARA Project of Ash Center) and Nikhil Raghuveera (Fellow at the Atlantic Council GeoTech Center) take a closer look at the history of racism in US voting, as well as its specific iterations in the state of Georgia. Their conversations with key staff at the ACLU of Georgia and the New Georgia Project reveal how the two organizations are amplifying the voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color voters, and striving to eliminate racist barriers in current and future elections.Notes:Untying Knots, co-hosted by Nikhil Raghuveera and Erica Licht, explores how people and organizations are untying knots of systemic oppression and working towards a more equitable future.

Hundreds of years of racist institutional policies have denied wealth to Black, Indigenous, and communities of color. In this current period of uprising, resistance, and crisis on racial injustice, organizational leaders are asking: what does it look like to make structural change for racial justice? Two organizations in Boston, the Haymarket People's Fund and the Boston Ujima Project, provide a critical model for applying an anti-racist lens to operations, mission, ongoing learning, and accountability.In the first episode of Untying Knots, hosts Nikhil Raghuveera (Fellow at the Atlantic Council GeoTech Center) and Erica Licht of the IARA Project Team at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation take a closer look at the history of institutional racism in lending, and efforts locally to re-think radical redistribution of power and resources. Interviews with key staff at both organizations reveal how they translate their mission to anti-racist funding mechanisms. Haymarket's story demonstrates a twenty-year organizational journey of working towards anti-racist change, and Ujima provides a model for equitable community lending.Notes:Untying Knots, co-hosted by Nikhil Raghuveera and Erica Licht, explores how people and organizations are untying knots of systemic oppression and working towards a more equitable future.

About This Episode Hundreds of years of racist federal and institutional policies have denied wealth to Black, Indigenous and communities of color. Two organizations in Boston are shifting the narrative around local funding and reimagining equitable community-driven change. In this episode of Untying Knots, we look at the ongoing process to transform financial inequity through anti racist funding. We speak with key leaders at the Boston Ujima Project and Haymarket People's Fund to grasp how they envision and work to sustain internal and external accountable social change.
