Kari and Chuks met for the first time in person this past weekend, so we kick off the episode introducing our guest this week, Ryan, and ragging on each other. In the news this week: Rihanna’s appropriative spread for W magazine, Miley Cyrus’s photoshopping herself over Nicki Minaj, the bombing of Iraq, and Michael Brown. Ryan joins us this week for our main topic of how to move the conversation on class forward. So often the conversation and movements surrounding class are dominated by white men. How do we work to move them forward so that a larger movement inclusive of all those who need it happens? For listener asks, we answer an anonymous ask about our future programming; bitches-dont-know-why-i-just’s asks about responding to friends who don’t want to come to consciousness; Joyced’s ask about the neo-imperialism that is teach English at international schools.
