“Black Artists Were Never Fully Compensated” | Copyright Expert KJ Greene on Reparations in the Music Industry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Professor Kevin J. Greene — Yale Law grad, Marine Corps veteran, and the first legal scholar to systematically examine how intellectual property law has failed Black artists — joins the show to answer a question the music industry doesn't want answered: why do the people who created American music so rarely own it? From his days delivering Chuck D's settlement check to his current work as an expert witness in active copyright cases, he traces how the music industry's roots in institutional racis
"Kings Can Never Be Representative of the People” | Pulitzer-Prize Winning Historian Ed Larson on Why America Reject Monarchs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Edward J. Larson joins the show to put the current moment in America in its longest possible context. His latest book, Declaring Independence: Why 1776 Matters, arrives as the nation marks its 250th anniversary and No Kings protesters fill the streets.

Times Book Prize and James Beard Award-winning Ruin Their Crops on the Ground — joins the show to make the case that what you eat has never really been a free choice. She traces how the U.S. food system, from Indigenous land dispossession and the calculated starvation of enslaved people to Depression-era farm subsidies and the school lunch program, has been deliberately structured to keep Bl
"Every 8 Minutes, Someone Reports a Sexual Assault on Uber" | What to Know About Uber's Mass Action Lawsuit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every eight minutes, someone reports a sexual assault on Uber in the United States. In the Season 2 premiere, Chris and Lauren break down the massive multi-district litigation building against Uber — over 2,700 plaintiffs, a company that internally logged more than 400,000 reports of sexual assault or misconduct between 2017 and 2022 while publicly disclosing only 12,000, and a driver with two prior misconduct complaints who was still on the app when he attacked a passenger during what should ha
