Yes I'm Biased, But Here's Why: Recent Episodes

We're all biased but let's explore where those biases come from and whether they are helpful or damaging to the way we navigate our world.
It's 2021 and according to sports pundit, Sage Steele, women share in the responsibility of preventing men from sexually assaulting them. To be clear, she said "nobody deserves to be assaulted", but she also said that women share some of the responsibility for their own victimization because [they're] smart and know what they're doing when they put [certain] outfits on. Mashika Asare joins the podcast to talk about the danger of Sage Steele's words and the ways in which they fail to hold perpetrators completely responsible for sexual harassment and assault.
Sha'Carri Richardson went from hero to villain very quickly. The same people who pardoned her Marijuana usage because she was grieving, lambasted her after her last place finish in the Prefontaine Classic. Why?Greg "June" Robinson joins the podcast to talk about it!

Second, there is no honor in languishing in mediocrity hoping the front office will one day bring better players to your team. Now that players have figured out their power, people are mad that they're making the decision to team up with other players to give themselves the best chance for success. Get the heck over it!
In 2019 a super producer called several women artists "stripper rappers" because of the content of their art. The same producer had no problem using the same imagery in his art so is the problem the imagery or who controls it? This episode uses this concept to explore my own bias around overly exposed bodies and the double standard in entertainment.
This is the second half of my conversation with my brother, Greg Robinson, Jr., as he chronicles his experiences from youth to the present day. He talks about what he grew up thinking success meant and how he eventually decided to shed his own expectations and carve out his own path. The conversation lasted so long that we had to split it into two episodes.
