Episode 128: Black Lives Matter, George Floyd, Race, Activism and Difficult Conversations

This week we're taking a break from the usual distractions to talk about more important issues: Black Lives Matter, police brutality, racism, the systematic oppression of black people and POC in the United States—a conversation sparked by the May 25th murder of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, who died in Minneapolis after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, pressed his knee on Mr. Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes. Floyd's death has led to historic global protests and calls for sweeping, fundamental reform.
