Podcast appearances and mentions of ta nehisi coates

L'émission 28 minutes du 13/11/2025 Parler, c'est résister : le langage comme arme politique pour l'américain Ta-Nehisi CoatesJournaliste, écrivain, professeur d'université, scénariste : Ta-Nehisi Coates est sûrement l'un des penseurs afro-américains les plus influents de sa génération. Il publie "Le message" (éditions Autrement), un essai écrit après différents voyages dans trois lieux de conflits : au Sénégal, en Caroline du Sud et en Palestine. L'écrivain revient sur le pouvoir de l'écriture et à quel point elle peut être une arme. Il démystifie, entre autres, les récits sur l'île de Gorée, lieu symbolique de l'esclavagisme, questionne la déclaration d'indépendance des États-Unis et s'interroge sur les mécanismes de ségrégation en Palestine. Mali : l'Afrique, nouvel épicentre du djihadisme et du terrorisme dans le monde ? La France a appelé, il y a quelques jours, ses ressortissants à quitter au plus vite le Mali en raison de la menace djihadiste. Bamako, la capitale du pays, est encerclée par les troupes du JNIM, Groupe de soutien à l'Islam et aux musulmans. Depuis deux mois, ce groupe islamiste proche d'Al-Qaida, impose de nombreux blocus sur des villages, dont les convois de carburant. L'objectif du groupe est d'imposer un "calife", selon le chef des services de renseignements extérieurs français. La terreur règne dans le pays. Vendredi dernier, Mariam Cissé, tiktokeuse malienne âgée de 20 ans, a été exécutée en public pour avoir publié des vidéos en faveur de la junte au pouvoir. Dirigée par le général Assimi Goïta, cette dernière avait demandé la fin de l'opération Barkhane au Mali en 2022. Depuis, les troupes françaises ont été remplacées par les forces russes, Africa Corps, milices ayant succédé à Wagner, qui se retrouvent elles-mêmes piégées par le groupe djihadiste. Le JNIM, proche d'Al-Qaida mais aussi de plusieurs émanations de Daech, est-il une menace pour la France ?On en débat avec Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos, directeur de recherche à l'Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), Francis Kpatindé, enseignant à Sciences Po Paris, spécialiste de la diplomatie africaine et Anna Sylvestre-Treiner, chef du service Afrique au "Monde".  Enfin, Xavier Mauduit revient sur la grâce accordée à l'écrivain franco-algérien Boualem Sansal pour nous parler de Dostoïevski, lui-même gracié en son temps. Théophile Cossa s'intéresse au fonctionnement de l'économie fragile des trains-couchettes et donne quelques idées de trains de nuit à tester. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.

One of the world's leading authors, known for his work on African Americans and White supremacy, has spoken to FRANCE 24 as his latest book "The Message" has been translated for the first time into French as "Le Message". Ta-Nehisi Coates is known worldwide as a progressive American author, journalist and activist. He told us he just thinks of himself as a nice guy, and that sometimes he wishes he didn't have to get involved in what he does. He spoke to us in Perspective.

durée : 00:58:48 - Le Book Club - par : Marie Richeux - En arpentant trois lieux de conflit, le Sénégal, la Caroline du Sud et la Palestine, l'écrivain et journaliste américain Ta-Nehisi Coates interroge la capacité de la littérature à nous émanciper des conflits identitaires et des mythes politiques. - réalisation : Cassandre Puel - invités : Ta-Nehisi Coates Écrivain, journaliste

This week, I talk with Pelumi Olatinpo about his new poetry collection Manifest Destiny. He shares how and why he created a new type of poetry, what inspired him to write about Manifest Destiny and the way it echoes throughout history, and the power of bearing witness.Manifest Destiny SynopsisAmerica turns 250 in 2026. In MANIFEST DESTINY, Pelumi Olatinpo delivers an essential examination of what we've been, what we are, and what we might become.This isn't a traditional book. It's a new form entirely—159 “sonetas” that compress centuries into seconds, each one exactly sixty words. Think of them as diagnostic tools, or prayers, or evidence. Olatinpo's innovation makes complex history feel like music in your bones.Olatinpo writes with the authority of someone who has lived the contradictions he interrogates: arriving undocumented at fifteen, becoming a citizen twenty-two years later. This second book after the acclaimed Poeta moves through four sections—from intimate love through historical memory to prophetic witness—each soneta a small revelation.“All men are created equal, some more equal than others.”“In Lagos, you damn the bled, or join the dead.”“I've loved you with the darkest and brightest blues / Of every ocean.”The journey spans continents and centuries, connecting Gaza to Gettysburg, colonial Nigeria to contemporary Chicago. Code-switching between biblical prophecy, constitutional language, and Nigerian Pidgin, Olatinpo reveals patterns we've been trained not to see.Extensive endnotes turn every reference into a teaching moment. The final piece appears on the book's endpaper—making it impossible to close without confronting the question: who remembers?For readers of Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me, Claudia Rankine's Citizen, and anyone seeking to understand America at this crucial moment.Essential reading for the 250th anniversary. A book that transcends genre to become necessary equipment for our time.

The episode starts with shine - literal shine - as we trade retinol tips, laugh about mic placement, and compare notes on simple routines that actually work. Then the tone shifts. We walk through the government shutdown, what a “clean” continuing resolution really means, and why leaving ACA funding out isn't a technicality - it's a strategy that hikes premiums and pushes people off care.From there, we go straight to the dinner table. SNAP benefits hang in the balance, and the myths crumble fast: most recipients are families with children, many are elderly or disabled, and a significant share are working. We talk about the companies paying low wages while taxpayers quietly pick up the tab, how stigma around benefits blinds us to the tiny slice of the budget SNAP occupies, and how a Portland shop is feeding neighbors with “SNAP breakfasts” funded by micro-donations from across the world. That generosity is breathtaking - and a sign that our systems are failing the people they're meant to serve.We unpack the middle class myth, the self-made story, and the way repetition shapes belief more than facts. We name the cowardice of leaders who won't defend basic institutions and celebrate the people - lawyers, organizers, local officials - who keep fighting for a fair vote, fair pay, and a safety net that catches everyone. Joy shows up as a practice: caring for our skin, caring for our neighbors, and caring enough to tell the truth about power, wages, and dignity.If this moved you, share it with a friend, rate the show, and leave a review.

Today on Unsupervised Learning, Razib talks to Kat Rosenfield. She is an American novelist, journalist, and culture critic known for both her fiction and commentary on contemporary political debates. She began her career in publishing and as a reporter for MTV News before branching out into broader cultural criticism, contributing to outlets such as The New York Times, Wired, Vulture, Reason, and UnHerd. As a novelist, she has written You Must Remember This (2023), No One Will Miss Her (2021), Inland (2014) and Amelia Anne Is Dead and Gone (2012). Rosenfield also co-authored the New York Times bestselling A Trick of Light (2019) with Stan Lee. She is currently a contributor to The Free Press and a co-host of the Feminine Chaos podcast. In the four years since Rosenfield was last on Unsupervised Learning the “culture wars” have seen a changing of the front lines; the woke ascendancy is no more, Elon Musk purchased Twitter, and Donald J. Trump is back in the Whitehouse. After the recording of this podcast Rosenfield was the target of a “cancellation” campaign due to her making light of white liberal gushing over the prose stylings of Ta-Nehisi Coates. But this being 2025, Rosenfield seemed more amused than afraid of the concerted attempt to “drag” her online and notify her employers. The first portion of this podcast discusses where we are now in the culture wars, how things have broadly changed, and which institutional pockets of the old woke ascendancy remain. Rosenfield and Razib also discuss the rise of gender polarization in online culture, and in particular, among Gen-Z.

Modern society stands at a crossroads between integrity and adaptation. In this episode, we explore whether evolving cultural norms erode traditional virtues across martial arts, entrepreneurship, and politics. Drawing from  the voices of the great Stoics, we examine how societal pressure challenges long-held standards and values. We then uncover the essence of the warrior ethos, rooted in wisdom, justice, fortitude, and temperance, through examples from Gladiator, Naruto, and real-world practice. We dissect leadership in the modern age, contrasting authenticity with performative virtue. From Marcus Aurelius to today's influencers, we reveal how social media often rewards image over integrity, urging a return to genuine strength and disciplined conviction.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:00) - Exploring Virtue and Political Integrity(0:08:56) - Unleashing the Warrior Ethos(0:16:39) - Authenticity and the Warrior Mindset(0:28:37) - Foundational Principles in Combat TrainingSend us a text

Writer, reporter, Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em co-host, and pie baker extraordinaire Nancy Rommelmann returns to Uncertain Things to talk (again) about a topic she knows all too well: Portland. In 2021, she lambasted the way the media was distorting what was happening on the ground by underplaying the violence. Four years later, she's lamenting the way the President and his cronies are distorting what's happening on the ground by overplaying the violence. We get into ICE's antics, Portland's response (so far), and the “heroes” making headlines. Then we switch tacts to share our thoughts on the (much discussed) Klein-Coates interview, and Adaam is remarkably reserved in his epithets.

George Floyd was born on October 14th, 1973. Charlie Kirk was born thirty years later, on October 14th, 1993. That is an odd coincidence, a cosmic joke upon us: we have two paths forward for America. How we honor these men in death will decide our country's fate. We all remember what happened on Memorial Day weekend of 2020. We all saw the video. It was horrific to watch a man die while begging to be freed and calling out for his mother. The video showed an unconcerned Derek Chauvin calmly placing his knee on the suspect to subdue him. Then we saw the life drained from George Floyd.Overnight, he was transformed from a career criminal trying to pass a $20 counterfeit bill to score drugs into a martyr for the systemic racism of America's police, and a “racist” America that elected Donald Trump.Millions poured into the streets, breaking lockdowns. Defund the police, they chanted. A photo circulated online of a fake Derek Chauvin with a “Make America White Again” hat. If you worried about the riots, the looting, and the violence, or sympathized with anyone who was brutalized that Summer, like Sue and her 100-year-old mattress store, you too were a “racist.”When I showed the video of Sue, my friends shouted, “How can you care more about property than people?” As buildings burned, as chaos reigned, whatever mass hysteria had taken hold four years earlier, when Donald Trump won, had now reached its pinnacle. It felt like war. But against what? Police brutality, White America, Donald Trump?In reality, it was a way to reclaim not just the White House, but what Mark Halperin calls “cultural hegemony,” where they get to decide what we can and can't say and think. They decide what books and movies are “racist” or phobic of one kind or another. After that Summer, there would be no debate about any of it. That America was “systemically racist” was the default. Anything you said could convict you in the court of public opinion as a “racist.” All it took was one accusation against you.A massive industry of “antiracism” ballooned as wealthy whites poured millions into their desperately sought-after absolution. It was laughable and grotesque, but it set the tone for what American society would become in the future. There was a disease in America that needed to be eradicated — the disease of “whiteness.” This was and still is being taught in public schools and universities. It's so bad that young people see transitioning or becoming non-binary as a way of being accepted. Now you start to see why Charlie Kirk was and is such a problem for them. He challenged those ideas. He challenged the mandated doctrine. He criticized Affirmative Action and DEI, not to mention trans rights and sex outside of marriage, and that abortion is murder. All of that went straight to the heart of the empire.But let's not get it twisted. The reaction to George Floyd's death was to transform America into a fascist-like Woketopia with nearly every major institution on board and handed more power to those at the top, who could destroy anyone for breaking the strict rules.That has meant the Left is free to dehumanize the Right in any way they want, as long as they tag their target with the mortal sin of “racism,” which they have attempted to do to Charlie to distort his message and silence his voice.In those days and weeks after Floyd's death, no one on the Right celebrated. Trump did not do what Barack Obama did: make a public statement of condolences before launching into an attack.Trump never smeared George Floyd in death, though he did condemn the protests. The high-minded media ignored the violence almost completely in 2020, and no one would dare write an investigative piece on the life of George Floyd or look at the case critically. When Bari Weiss and James Bennett were chased out of the New York Times, it was the Left eating its own for daring to challenge the mob. Firing Donald McNeil or David Shor did not happen because they questioned the doctrine. It was because they were accused of being “racists.” That is very different from people being fired for dancing on Charlie Kirk's grave.To pretend, in any way, that the Right has the power to re-order society, to mandate thought and speech, to implement strict doctrine in every institution, corporation, business, and social media platform is to either have amnesia about the last ten years or to willfully lie.That isn't exactly the sentiment of Thomas Chatterton Williams in this Atlantic story, The Other Martyr - MAGA has found its George Floyd. The title is slightly misleading, but since it's behind the paywall, I don't have much to work with. He writes:For many on the left, Floyd's asphyxiation turned a flawed and desperate man into a Christ figure, someone who bore the weight of the world's failings and, in so doing, cleared a path to fix them. In the feverish weeks since Charlie Kirk's assassination, the MAGA right is undergoing its own religious ferment, animated by a new martyr. Just as the left used Floyd's death to justify and hasten all manner of political ends, the right is invoking Kirk's name to advance illiberal aims and silence opponents. In death, Kirk has become a cudgel.Even if Trump has gone so far as to condemn Jimmy Kimmel and threaten to silence speech in Charlie's name, there is no comparing that to how our society was transformed in the wake of Floyd's death.These are not now, nor have they ever been, two equal sides. The Left is feeling a fraction of what all Americans have been forced to endure for ten long years. Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air for five seconds. The Trump admin wants to know why PBS and NPR were so one-sided for so long and why the public airwaves only support one side. But even asking that question is fascist. That's how much power the Left has.We see them all rising up to sign letters by the thousands, with Jane Fonda daring to pretend to care about free speech on “both sides” to mock our leaders. Yet she and all of the high-status elites in the aristocracy said not one word as cancel culture purged hundreds for thought crimes for years.I lost much of my income in 2024 for mocking “White dudes for Harris,” and Gina Carano was fired from Disney for a tweet. Tucker Carlson was thrown off the air after Chuck Schumer threatened Rupert Murdoch from the Senate floor. Every time, the Left cheered. Now they want to pretend like they care about free speech?The truth is that Charlie threatened them because he did what they could never do. He offered to discuss his views with people he disagreed with. He put the ideas to the test. He spoke with respect and kindness, but his ideas were resonating, and he was changing minds one debate at a time. So of course, they can't afford to see his star keep rising now that their empire is in collapse. That's why all of the big names are now coming out to make a statement about Charlie when he's not here to defend himself. No one did this in the wake of Floyd's death, certainly not at the New York Times. Here is Ta-Nehisi Coates echoing that sentiment:But Mark Halperin, who interviewed Charlie many times and who knew him well, was not holding back in his rebuke of the lie that Charlie “spread hate.”They don't realize that the more they try to lie about Charlie, to bury him in the past as a “racist” who “spread hate,” the more people like Halperin and others will fight to protect his good name. Here is Emily Jashinsky breaking down a NY Times investigation on Charlie Kirk's debating style, like he's an insect in a jar. That is how desperate they are to hold onto the cultural hegemony and to silence Charlie.Here is Megyn Kelly going to great lengths to debunk the viral lies about Charlie.Charlie said provocative things because he wanted to shake college kids out of their indoctrination stupor and have them think critically about what they had been taught to recite by rote. That's what teachers are supposed to do. That is what art, journalism, and comedy used to do. Yet, that is what the Left sacrificed to demand obedience to the doctrine. Which Way Forward, AmericaTwo 19-year-olds. One is Violet Affleck, the victim of every awful lesson pushed upon her by her extremely progressive schools and parents who can't stand up to her. Here she is at the United Nations making a pitch for masks in 2025. Meanwhile, another 19-year-old, Brilyn Hollyhand, is continuing the tradition of Charlie Kirk. He's not cowering. He's not shrinking back. He's fired up because one man led by example. Which way forward, America? Masks? Helplessness? Celebrating victimhood or something else, another way forward, a way out, a way to success. Perhaps Charlie was a threat because he sought to rewrite the future for everyone, regardless of their skin color. Maybe his aim was to try something new because the old way wasn't working. The old way led to George Floyd. They don't even want to take the chance that what Charlie was saying was resonating. They're happy he's not here anymore. They're happy he was silenced. They want a sick and crippled America because then they are necessary. Unfortunately for them, Charlie wasn't like George Floyd. He wasn't famous only in death. He stood for more than just serving as a religious symbol. If you disagreed with him, he welcomed you in. Debate him. Change his mind.He has left his legacy everywhere - YouTube, podcasts, speeches, and interviews. Surely they must realize that every time they lie about Charlie, all it takes is one search to see the truth about who he was.Here is Charlie engaging in a respectful debate about DEI and affirmative action, where people can listen, learn, and form their own opinions. The Right didn't need to invent a religion or make Charlie a martyr for one; they already have that religion and they already have that martyr. Charlie was bringing religion back into the minds and hearts of the young, to give them something, anything other than hating themselves for the color of their skin. And it was his faith that led so many people to see the Left differently in the wake of his death. Be careful what you wish for.That Charlie Kirk and George Floyd were born on the same day offers up two paths forward. One path leads to victimhood with no way out in a “white supremacist patriarchy.” The other path is summed up by Andrew Kolvet, who is busy trying to keep Turning Point alive: Oh, how I wish someone had taught me that lesson thirty years ago when Charlie was born.Choose your hero wisely, America.

Season 10 opens with fire.

The Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates interview was lacking in substance and effectively a rhythmless dance around a conversation we desperately need to have as a country.

This week on the podcast we're talking about Emma Watson's Jay Shetty interview (and the subsequent fall out), the way that GLP-1S, have democratised thinness - and what that means for body trends, and perhaps the biggest divorce in recent pop culture history It's been a hefty week for celeb and pop culture stories, so yes you're exactly right, we're bringing back the EIC headlines; from Nicole Kidman's divorce, to Lola Young's statement and Super Bowl Sunday.Next up, last Wednesday an interview between podcaster and life coach Jay Shetty and actress Emma Watson was released. At time of recording the video of the interview on YouTube has almost 3 million views and over 6000 comments. It's the only podcast she's ever done and her first long form conversation in over five years. They get pretty candid about her recent driving ban for speeding, her complicated relationship to film promotion, sensitivity, fame, if she'll return to acting, Harry Potter- all sorts. But the part that is hitting the headlines most this week is a part towards the end of the interview where Jay asks her about JK Rowling and the relationship between the two women. We get into it.And lastly, Christiana Mbakwe Medina for her Substack, Pop Syllabus, writes, ‘Right now, Ozempic and other GLP-1s are rapidly democratizing thinness, making it attainable to whomever can afford it. As a result, the value of thinness as a status symbol is diminishing, and I believe we're about to enter a significant shift. Be prepared for The Sculpt'. Are we about to enter into a new body trend craze?Ruchira's been Loving - The ShiningOenone's been loving - The News Agents, The Rest Is Politics, Ta-Nehisi Coates on Ezra KleinBeth's been loving - The Housemaid Series, The GirlfriendEmma Watson Jay Shetty EpisodeUncovering The Truth Of Jay ShettyGoodbye Thin.

Kriss is joined by Karen from the Black Guy Who Tips. A good portion of the show we end up talking about the beginning of the discussion between Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates on Ezra's podcast. It's a good (if not sometimes frustrating) discussion between the two in which it becomes clear that Klein, is so focused on not losing that it's a set up to not win. Coates challenges (with no real good explanations from Klein) on how to rationalize wanting the left to "learn from" the right in such a short term viewpoint. He brings up the fact that the claim of the "increase in political violence" downplays the political violence experienced by so many marginalized groups for decades. And while Coates doesn't directly say it, we talk about how insulting it is to claim that the Right constantly engages with those that disagree with them while ignoring all the work and engagement that black and brown writers/activists and others do on the left.  The whole conversation is both enlightening as well as frustrating because it illustrates just how cowardly so many on the left are and how easily they are willing to throw the less fortunate out if it means scoring political points.   Full Ezra Klein/Ta -Nehisi Coates Guest: Karen ‪@theblackguywhotips.bsky.social   Like what you hear?

The writer Ta-Nehisi Coates was harshly critical of my response to Charlie Kirk's assassination. In an article in Vanity Fair, he suggested I was whitewashing Kirk's legacy, comparing it to the whitewashing of the Southern cause after the Civil War.So I wanted to have Coates on the show to talk out our disagreement, as well as some deeper questions that I think exist underneath it about the work of politics.What should the left do about the fact that so many Americans share Kirk's views? What kinds of disagreements should we try to bridge? When is that work moral and necessary, and when is it a betrayal?This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:“Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause” by Ta-Nehisi CoatesBetween the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates“My President Was Black” by Ta-Nehisi CoatesBook Recommendations:The Brothers by Stephen KinzerRace and Reunion by David W.

Charlie Kirk became the latest victim of gun violence in America on September 10. And he wasn't the only person shot on a school campus that day, nor was he the only political figure killed this year.  Unlike Melissa Hortman and her husband, the motivation for Kirk's murder remains unclear. That hasn't stopped right-wing pundits and politicians from framing it as typical extremist left-wing violence.  In between calls for civil war and censorship, the ramping up of police-state authoritarianism, and painting of the slain Christian Nationalist activist as a noble martyr, anti-racist icon Ta-Nehisi Coates called out the strange reflex from some left-of-center figures (like Ezra Klein) to participate in whitewashing Kirk's hateful politics. Today we discuss what happened and what it might mean.

Not again! Chip Kidd and Michael Cho are the latest comic book creators to find their way, literally, into comics. The Avengers in the Veracity Trap, published as part of the Marvel Arts imprint of Abrams ComicArts, propels the titular superheroes from their dimension into ours, revealing that Kidd and Cho control their free will. The oversized original graphic novel is a stunning-looking comic, thanks to Michael Cho making magic with sequentials, taking a short break from his usual stellar cover work. What is it about comics? Read enough of them, and suddenly you want to be in them. The medium invites invasion, calling folks like Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Grant Morrison, Brian Michael Bendis, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and others to throw themselves upon the panels. Maybe it's because, as children, we wrap this flatland universe around us like a blanket. It's comfy and protective. It's where we want to go when the third dimension reveals itself as too damn physical with our soft little bodies. Chip Kidd joins the podcast this week to discuss how he once again wormed his way into comic book panels (yeah, this is not his first offense. See also, Batman: Death by Design and Alex Ross's Marvelocity). We discuss how "The Veracity Trap" has become a valuable concept for us personally as we struggle with the strings that direct our movements these days. As usual, the conversation gets philosophical, breaking down free will and the troubled waters between artist and audience. The Avengers in the Veracity Trap is now available wherever rad comics are sold. Make sure you follow Chip Kidd on Instagram.

Mini-series Part 2: The Safehouse of NeutralityIn this episode, Maureen continues the deep dive into how whiteness shape-shifts—this time through the soft power of institutional neutrality.From school boards banning books to nonprofits redirecting equity funds, neutrality is used as a strategy, not a stance. With help from Audre Lorde and Ta-Nehisi Coates, Maureen explores how whiteness hides inside “objectivity,” “professionalism,” and “donor comfort”—shielding itself from critique while punishing disruption.We also return to the film Sinners, where vampires can't feed unless invited in—a sharp metaphor for how institutions drain labor and integrity under the guise of collaboration and care.This episode is an invitation to notice how neutrality shows up in your body, your choices, and your leadership—and to replace silence with principled transparency.In this episode we explore:The DEI pullback across schools, nonprofits, and philanthropyHow neutrality protects whiteness by disguising harm as harmonyAudre Lorde's warning about the master's tools and institutional complicityTa-Nehisi Coates on policy, legality, and the false myth of apolitical violenceWhy discernment and transparency are tools of liberatory practiceThis week's reflection:Where do I use the language of “neutrality,” “professionalism,” or “objectivity” to avoid discomfort?What's the cost of that avoidance—and who pays it?Where have I been complicit in protecting the institution rather than disrupting the harm?When have I confused conflict avoidance with actual care?Support the showThis episode was created with deep love, and deep thanks to the frameworks and tools within Cultivating Intersectional Leadership, a course I co-created with Diedra Barber.
