The Summer of 2020 (which I have been referring to as The Summer That Wasn't) definitely put me through some changes. Being reminded of just how little Black life matters while dealing with the global health pandemic took a mental and emotional toll on me that I couldn't ignore. This episode represents my way of dealing with it while holding onto the joy that this world (and particularly this nation) tries to steal away and claim for itself.

This one feels like a return to form. Since it's clear that the RIAA have become the music podcast feds in 2020, my renewed interest in Creative Commons-licensed music couldn't have come at a better time. Along with a few CC cuts in hand, I'm also going to bat for the work of good friends of mine. There's an energy in this episode that reminds me of the excitement that I had about podcasting back when I first started. Considering how upside down everything in the world feels to me right now, there's something reassuring about that.
