Who Is Your Neighbor
But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Edutainment and Activism with Angelica Ross
Danielle talks with Angelica Ross – actress, businesswoman, and trans rights advocate and educator. Danielle and Angelica dive into the impacts of the pandemic, emphasizing the ways in which our most vulnerable populations are at the highest level of risk. Angelica reflects on the realities of not being protected by the government and credos that this country propagates. She implores us all to respond to the call for Black Lives Matter by making it true. Danielle and Angelica note how marginalized communities, people who have the least amount of protections and privilege, are the ones putting the most on the line to stand up to oppressive systems. In her alternative definition of responsibility – to have the ability to respond – Angelica appeals to those at every level of privilege andx power to take responsibility for their platform by showing up and employing it in the service of others. Angelica believes that the ways in which we support celebrities and leaders, should be directly linked to the capacity those individuals have to show up on their platforms.

Angela Yee on Women's Voices and Serving Your Community
This week, Danielle Moodie talks with Angela Yee, the woman’s voice holding down nationally syndicated morning radio show The Breakfast Club, who also works as an entrepreneur and activist. Danielle and Angela dig into the importance and power in financial independence and the risks one takes when moving from a stable professional environment to blazing an independent career - and swap stories of life at “The Facility.” Angela emphasizes how holding herself to high standards and asserting a strong work ethic provided her with a sense of security as she forged her professional path. Together, they reflect on the realities of being the only woman in many media spaces and Angela discusses how being in the midst of boys’ clubs inspired her to create her podcast “Lip Service,” where she could create a space for women and finally fully express herself. And of course, Angela and Danielle discuss The Breakfast Club and the ways in which Angela and her co-hosts have been able to operate at the intersection of pop culture and politics and use their platform to meet their listeners where they are while addressing the realities of our modern political landscape.

Damon Young: A Very Smart Brotha
Danielle chats with Damon Young, co-founder of the website Very Smart Brothas and author of What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker. Danielle and Damon discuss his book’s examination of the angst, anxiety and absurdity of being black in America. They dig into the process of embracing blackness, one which requires us to acknowledge the indoctrinated anti-black ideas that exist within all of us so that we are able to consciously deconstruct and extract them. Damon also talks about parenting black children and the challenge of reconciling two essential and deeply contradicting lessons – that black children can be whatever they want to be, and the truth about the history of race in America and its realities today.

Who Are The Power Worshippers? with Author Katherine Stewart
In a politically fueled PM Mood, Danielle Moodie speaks with author and journalist Katherine Stewart, whose crucial work examines how America has been on a path to ending the established barriers between church & state. In her new book The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism, Katherine emphasizes how the rise of the religious right wing is in fact the rise of a political, nationalistic movement that is at its core anti-Democratic, anti-pluralistic, and anti-equality. Danielle and Katherine discuss the ways in which the movement united religious denominations, conservatives and fringe extremists under key issues such as abortion in order to consolidate voting power and how Trump has become the movement’s anointed broker in reshaping our democracy. They also dissect our leadership’s handling of the ongoing pandemic, rooted in the movement’s political and religious rejection of science, expertise, and infrastructure. Despite the uphill battle we have ahead, Katherine sees growing discontent with the status quo, awareness, and activism as a cause for hope and motivation.
