Enlightening & thought provoking

I have recently discovered these podcasts and journal and I’m hooked. It’s like observing and deepening the conversations I’ve been having with myself over the past 30+years (but more rounded and robust). Almost like I’m listening to friends, who think deeply, socially and critically about Michael and his experiences and position in the world.

If you’re a fan of Michael’s or just interested in popular culture, or critical race theory, or music, or business or anything - take a listen
