The crew returns with a special “Back to School,” episode where they pay tribute to Aretha Franklin and highlight her legacy of advocacy for civil rights. The trio unpacks a dynamic primary season in Iowa – which included a hotly contested gubernatorial race – before diving into a conversation with representatives from Students Against School Shootings, an organization formed by young people pushing for sensible gun reform measures across the country. After an inspiring conversation, the group welcomes Andre Perry – writer, musician, and the Executive Director of the historic Englert Theatre – to discuss a range of issues, including the role of the artist during these tenuous times in which we live, and the problematic nature of artists like Kanye West.
