Native Land Pod

Should Biden issue a pardon to Donald Trump for his federal crimes? Will that help with America’s standing or do we have 99 OTHER problems and Trump ain’t one?! There have been some Republicans and Democrats calling for a preemptive Trump pardon. Is this kind of grace-giving exactly what’s wrong with the Democratic Party?     Also, can Trump vote now that he’s been convicted? In Florida, where Trump lives, folks with felonies have limited voting rights and Trump does not qualify. BUT Florida's Governor, Ron DeSantis, has signaled that he’ll bend (READ: Break!) the law to allow Trump to vote. The hosts also take a look at voting after conviction more broadly and the stigma that follows returning citizens even after they’ve served their time.      The hosts also dissect a viral video of a man who faced incarceration after driving with a suspended license…hilarious as it may seem, there’s more to this video that mainstream media missed.   And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam—keep sending in your questions and comments on IG @nativelandpod.    We are 152 days away from the election.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss the “N” word—who should say it and who should not?    With an eye towards history and pop culture, the hosts look at why some folks choose to use this word—and use it, and use it, and use it—while others think that not even Black folks should say it. Along with funny stories about their personal relationships with this powerful word, we’ll hear about how the NAACP gave the “N" word a funeral, and touch on the politics of the “N” word in the Kendrick v. Drake hip-hop beef.    Welcome home y’all!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask themselves, is this show a safe space? What is our obligation as a show to create a safe space for ourselves and for the audience, and what does “safe space” mean, anyway?    This is a follow up from last week’s MiniPod that got a liiittle heated.     Welcome home y’all!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask: when will we see a Black woman in the US Senate?? The United States has only ever had three Black women as senators. Currently there are none, but two candidates may change that come November…    Speaking of elections, what’s up with these Trump surrogates already denying the ‘24 election before it’s even happened? And what will actually happen if Trump loses in November but his supporters don’t accept the results? The hosts discuss this and the relevance (or not) of presidential debates.    Then, our resident expert on all things FAMU, Andrew Gillum, covers the drama coming out of his alma mater. Florida A&M University received a $237 MILLION dollar donation last week, complete with a huge check that they showed off at graduation. But it turns out the whole thing was a hoax??   In Politics Are Everywhere— Welcome to the W! Sports reporter Tiffany Cross opens up the WNBA season.    And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFan listeners.    Sign the petition and support Marilyn Mosby at justiceformarilynmosby.com.   We are 172  number of days away from the election.
