2026/04/16
In this episode, I sit down with Bishop Lamont for a deep, unfiltered conversation about the reality of the music business and the forces operating behind the scenes.

We dive into how music and media are used to shape culture and influence the minds of the masses — from industry pressure to the idea of psychological programming and MK-Ultra.

Officer Get's Away With Snatching A Life-Yet Again!
2026/02/12
Tonight on the podcast, we step into a conversation that demands attention. We sit down with filmmakers Laura Dylan Kerman and William Howell to discuss their powerful documentary Cycle— a film examining the death of Ty'Rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager from Racine. On June 15, 2019, Ty’Rese was stopped for a bicycle light violation by a sergeant from the Mount Pleasant Police Department. What followed ended with Ty’Rese being fatally shot. The officer, Eric Gizi, stated he acted in self-defense after allegedly seeing a firearm. Prosecutors later declined to file charges. Cycle does not just revisit headlines — it explores the broader patterns, the community impact, and the questions that still echo years later. Tonight’s conversation dives into: The making of Cycle The emotional weight of telling stories like this Accountability, policy, and the meaning of justice The ripple effects on families and communities This is not just about one night.It’s about the cycles we repeat — and whether we’re willing to break them. Join us for a thoughtful, necessary dialogue. Listen with an open mind. Share with intention. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
