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 1 A Pod Called Quest jumped right into the controversy surrounding the rapper/writer/producer/cultural critic Ice Cube and his Contract with America. Cube argued that Black folk had been given a relatively raw deal from America and that they needed to find some way to improve that situation. One way he argued was to set up some kind of Contract with America (the first controversial point) and he was willing to talk to anyone about it - including President Donald Trump (the second controversial point). Is this a wise move? Is it possible? Is it foolish? Dr. Derrick Darby (Sage) and Dr. Christian Davenport (Science) dig in with some logic and some data.
