A Pod Called Quest is a podcast taking on everything that people concerned about injustice care about from the wealth gap to voting rights, to police brutality, to reparations, to health and well-being, to climate change, to state repression and much more. Sage and Science want listeners to think with them about problems of injustice, just futures, and evidence-based solutions. Derrick Darby (aka Sage) is a philosopher. Christian Davenport (aka Science) is a political scientist and sociologist. Join our quest to impose logic as well as data on the struggle for justice in America and globally. Give us your time, we give you power, wealth, and culture.

For Episode 4, A Pod Called Quest uncovers Georgia's dark past, shedding light on W. E. B. Du Bois's insights about why it has as much to do with wealth as with race, and asks whether it's time to lower the race-first flag, eschew politics with labels (right v. left, red staters v. blue staters, democrats v. republicans, urban v. rural, progressives v. conservatives, blacks v. whites) and follow Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)'s lead by zeroing in on economic inequality, housing, healthcare, climate equity, education and other issues that everyday working people care about. The short-term play may be winning 2 U.S. Senate seats in Georgia. The long-term play is building coalitions that unify rather than divide and that empower us to uplift working people and pull American democracy back from the brink.
