In light of the current unrest and outrage in the U.S. and now around the world in solidarity, and also in an effort to center current conversations around those who have experienced being systematically oppressed, we have decided not to release a regular episode of the IndoctriNation podcast this week.
On our social media platforms, we have provided a partial list of links for our listeners of podcasts by black creators that our team thought were timely and powerful. It is time for them to tell their stories, whether you agree with them, or not. We value all of our listeners and love that you listen to each episode. This is the 1st time in over 2 years of weekly shows that we are not releasing a new episode. Please consider listening this week to any of the following:
