The Corporation for Public Broadcasting's funding has been cut by the Trump administration. This, of course, was laid out in Project 2025 by Russel Vought, one of its key architects. He's now the head of Trump's Office of Management and Budget. His office made the decision to retract already-allocated funds that were earmarked for CPB, which is why they're shutting down at the end of this year.
Y'all remember when Trump said he knew nothing about Project 2025? Yeah, me too.

In this episode, I’m diving into the viral TikTok trend “Are Gingers Black?” with my brother-in-law of almost 30 years, CE Spaulding who is himself a "Ginger."
We talk about why some white redheads feel marginalized, why some are longing for an invitation to “the cookout,” and what it really means when white folks seek validation in Black spaces. CE brings his unique perspective on whiteness, outsider identity, and the complicated quest for acceptance.
Is this trend harmless fun or a deeper reflection of racial dynamics online? Tap in and let’s talk about it.

Elon Musk has long been celebrated as a tech visionary and entrepreneur, but his recent foray into American politics is raising serious questions—and red flags. With his growing influence over President-Elect Donald Trump and ensuing cabinet position, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
In this episode, we take a hard look at:
Musk’s background and the evolution of his public persona.
The burgeoning White Supremacist philosophies emerging in his rhetoric and behavior.
The potential dangers of his ideologies taking root in the highest levels of government.
As Musk positions himself as a political power broker, we explore the implications for democracy, civil rights, and America’s future. Could this signal the start of a darker chapter in the nation’s history?

The shocking murder of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione has sparked intense public debate—but what’s most startling is the widespread celebration of his death online. Why are so many Americans cheering this violent act?
In this episode, we dive into the meaning behind the public's reaction. Is it a reflection of growing frustration with the healthcare system and corporate greed? Or does it signal a deeper unraveling of our societal norms?
We also examine the larger cultural context, connecting this tragedy to a disturbing pattern in American discourse. From the right-wing media's lionization of Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny, to the increasing polarization around issues of justice and accountability, are we witnessing the normalization of violence in political narratives?
Join us as we unpack the implications of this event and discuss what it reveals about the shifting tone of America's political landscape.
📢 Join the conversation:
Do you think the public's reaction is justified, or does it cross a moral line? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Modern American politics can be a severely contentious subject, dissolving friendships and oftentimes splitting families down the middle, leaving many of us to choose between distancing from our loved ones or avoiding political discourse, altogether. This week's guest, Horace Gold has made it his mission to bridge the divide between himself (a left-leaning gay Black man) and his deeply religious, MAGA faithful parents. Horace and I share the similarities in our upbringing, have a discussion about grace and the glaring differences between conflict in the online world and the real one.

I had the opportunity to cover the DNC as a social media content creator this week. Much has been made of the access content creators were given to cover the convention this year -- much of it false info from traditional media -- I won't bother to clear up the rumors here.
What I will say is that it was an honor to be in the room for this historic event. Watching the first major political party nominate a woman of color was overwhelming and quite heartening. I keep likening it to being sprayed by a fire hose for 4 days straight -- it's going to take some time to parse out the exact impact of this event, and to assess its meaning, both personally and politically.
What I'm bringing you is a first person perspective of what this experience meant to me. No hard-hitting breaking news -- just my on-the-ground assessment of what it was like to witness democracy and spectacle up close.

We're tackling two important topics today - the first being anti-Blackness within the pro-Palestinian movement. This issue has come to a head in recent weeks on TikTok, in particular, where the pro-Palestinian movement has gained a lot of traction since the attacks of October 7th.
Many young Black activists have stood in solidarity with those who have dedicated their social media accounts to calling for Palestinian independence. But the rise of Kamala Harris as the Democratic party's presumptive nominee has revealed a fissure among Black pro Palestine activists and non Black activists.
The primary issue - is it possible to stand in solidarity with those advocating for Palestinian liberation and also vote for a member of the Biden administration who is tangentially culpable for the genocide happening in Gaza?
I'm also taking a look at post-Trump politics in the Republican Party. Will they be able to form an identity once he is no long a factor?

Kamala Harris and her new VP pick, Tim Walz are what some might call a "Dream Team." Walz was a bit of an unconventional pick, but anyone who's seen them on stage together would have to acknowledge that he makes the perfect compliment for her. Much like her, he's optimistic, he's plain-spoken and he's... gasp joyful. These are words you wouldn't necessarily associate with politics, but they're qualities that have been sorely lacking in our political sphere of late.
As we're all breathing a sigh of relief, we're also observing the unique ways in which these kindred souls move. When you're facing an opponent who deals in schoolyard politics, the temptation might be to allow that joy to be overwhelmed with the need to push back on his lies, to clapback to his insults and to allow the news cycle to be dominated by damage control. Kamala and Tim seem to be aware of this danger, and so far, they've focused on keeping their forward momentum, while not being afraid to address Trump and Vance's attacks head on, and then keep it moving.
It's a delicate balance they'll have to strike if they want to maintain their status as "The Joyful Team" and avoid being swept up in his vortex of chaos.

Today, my guest Gerard LeConte and I discuss the ever-growing influence of so-called "Red Pill Culture" on the current Republican Party. From Andrew Tate to Jordan Peterson and now JD Vance, there's no shortage of far-right spokesmen to channel the anger, frustration and loneliness of young men and boys into increasingly toxic viewpoints.
Gerard LeConte and I are discussing a recent viral video he did on this topic:
Right Wing Radicalization
We're discussing ways that those concerned about this phenomenon can help to lessen its impact on the men in their lives.

Donald Trump has chosen his running mate – a newly-minted Senator from the state of Ohio named JD Vance. Many will remember him from the best-selling book he wrote in 2016 called, “Hillbilly Elegy.” JD Vance was a media darling at that time. His book shone a light on the unique struggles of America’s white poor.
But festering beneath the surface of this self-proclaimed “conservative with a conscience” was a man who held a special contempt for America’s so-called “liberal elite.” According to his former roommate at Yale law school, he allowed that contempt to lead him down a path of moral decay. JD Vance would not have succeeded in his bid for the Senate without $15 million from PayPal founder Peter Theil.
Despite JD’s scathing critiques of Donald Trump, Theil made a personal introduction of JD to Trump to assist him in his bid for the Senate. It worked. And in a very short period of time, it launched JD to the top of Trump’s list of willing acolytes that were being considered as his running mate.
JD Vance’s ascent has been swift and contradictory. In this episode, I’m taking a look at the various factions that had a hand in positioning him to stand a stone’s throw from the presidency.

Much is being made of Joe Biden's abysmal debate performance against Donald Trump. Predictably, the news media, and many within the Democratic Party have sounded the alarm -- Should Joe Biden step down and allow someone else to take over? Does sticking with the incumbent ruin the Democrats' chances of winning the upcoming election against Donald Trump?
Today, I'm talking with social media activist and political commentator, Gerard LeConte about this, and getting his honest take on whether the Democrats should abandon their current nominee.

In part 3 of this sweeping conversation with filmmaker, journalist and video essayist Garrison Hayes, we discuss the practical aspects of deconstructing while Black. What are the implications within your community, family and friends’ circle? How does being the child of a minister impact this process?
Deconstruction from religious fundamentalism is not an easy process, but the added factor of parsing through racial dynamics infuses the experience with much more complexity and can often leave you with more questions than answers.

Attacks on voting rights are as old as the U.S. itself. Many people are not aware of the long standing history of attacks on this constitutionally protected right. Efforts to restrict voting access have not abated, and it's incumbent upon all of us to understand how these efforts have evolved over the years. All over the U.S., but particularly in the South and in swing states, there are constant attempts to block ballot access for those who are deemed by some as unworthy to participate in the democratic process.
Today, I discuss that history with human rights lawyer, Qasim Rashid. Qasim is a tireless warrior for the underrepresented and the marginalized. His recent run for Congress in his native Chicago left him even more energized and focused on the issues that affect Black, brown, indigenous, LGBTQ and economically disadvantaged people. You can find him online everywhere at Qasim Rashid.

By now, most people know that the version of the Pocahontas story that was presented in the 1995 Disney film is mostly fiction. But the story behind the composition of the film’s most famous song is not as well known. It was important to lyricist Stephen Schwartz to pay homage to the history and legacy of the Powhatan people on which the film is based, but in true American fashion, the source material he drew from as the inspiration for the song’s brilliant lyrics paints a through line to America’s long history of exploitation and misrepresentation of Native stories and voices.

For the month of May, we’re delving into some deep-dive discussions with a couple of my favorite mutual creators — first up is human rights lawyer, Qasim Rashid. In this episode, we’re talking over the recent decision by the conservative Supreme Court to do away with race-based affirmative action. Since anti-affirmative action activist Edward Blum used a group of Asian students as his battering ram to take down affirmative action, Qasim and I speak to the issue of alleged anti-Asian discrimination at elite universities, and how this accusation led to a Supreme Court victory against affirmative action, when an earlier bid with a white student had failed to deliver the success Blum wanted.
Join us next week for a round-up on the issue of voting rights with Qasim.

I’ve taken some time to look at disparities in health outcomes in the Black community vs. every other racial grouping in the U.S. The numbers are pretty grim. And unfortunately, when we take a look at the mental health profile for Black people as a whole in the U.S., it’s no different.
Black people are statistically more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, PTSD, and they’re more likely to grapple with suicidal ideations. Yet we’re the group that is least likely to seek out help, and when we do, we’re more likely to receive poor quality care. In today’s podcast, I’m examining the reasons for these disparities, and looking at some ways in which we can begin to shift the needle on this troubling reality.

“I’m Rooting for Everybody Black” has become a bit of a rallying cry to indicate our unwavering support for Black creatives, entrepreneurs, techies — anybody that’s repping Black excellence. But the expectation that “Everybody Black” deserves our support can also be an errant one.
The death of OJ Simpson brings this topic into greater focus, and it’s worth taking another look at this age-old question in light of what his ascent and downfall meant to the Black community.
Are we required to lend our unquestioned support to Black folks simply because they’re “our” people? When is it okay to withdraw our support from Black folks that we deem problematic, and why is this so hard to talk about?

Medical racism is one of the most under-addressed topics in discussions around healthcare. Maybe that’s because most people don’t really know what it is, or how deeply it impacts communities of color — particularly Black people. Many don’t know it exists at all.
But as you’ll hear in this week’s episode, medical racism can kill. In this week’s podcast, I’m bringing you two Breakdowns on racism within the medical community that highlight the dire state of healthcare within the Black community — cases that provide irrefutable proof that medical disparities do exist along color lines.
We’ll discuss the many forms that medical racism can take, and we’ll talk about solutions as well.

White Grievance is big business. And it's increasingly becoming a more reliable winning strategy on the right. As more and more "Trumpists" are elected to political office, we're beginning to see conspiracies like "The Great Replacement Theory" and "white erasure' be mainstreamed by heroes of the right like Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk and Trump himself.
These are no longer the fringe rantings of unhinged political extremists -- these are widely accepted conservative beliefs that are picking up steam with the help of some of the nation's most prominent conservative voices.
And White Grievance has real world consequences. On multiple occasions, the dissemination of these harmful philosophies has led to mass murder. We're going to talk about what we can do to combat this pervasive ideology.

There has not been a time in U.S. history where the constitutionally protected right to vote has not been under attack for marginalized groups. It's nothing new. It's just a shame that this is still the case in 2024. I'm covering the attack on voting rights, and getting into the long history of challenges to voting for Black and brown people, young people, etc.
How are these tactics being reinforced in 2024? We'll use Georgia as a case study, as they're leading the way in voter roll purges at the moment. Be sure to visit www.vote.org to check up on your voter registration to make sure it’s active.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs are being scrapped all over the country in favor of a 'colorblind' narrative that attempts to minimize the impact of systemic racism on our present day reality. I'm taking a look at the recent move by the Alabama Legislature and Alabama governor Kay Ivey to outlaw DEI programs throughout the state, and to severely control the language used in racial sensitivity training.
I'm also profiling Edward Blum, the man responsible for the outlawing of Affirmative Action and for the gutting the Voting Rights Act.

Jamelle Bouie is one of the leading voices at the intersection of politics, history and race in the United States. He's a writer for the New York Times, a frequent contributor to CBS News and he has a thriving TikTok channel where he elucidates current affairs for younger audiences.
I sat down with Jamelle to discuss the upcoming election season, and to bring into focus many of the issues that Black voters are focused on. We discussed whether these issues will be on the 'front burner' this year, and we talked about some of the issues that don't get as much attention, like the Voting Rights Act, and how that will impact us all in the coming year.
I'm looking forward to having Jamelle on the show as often as possible leading up to the 2024 election. Follow him on TikTok here:

Women's history month presents a unique opportunity to highlight 3 women that I've done Breakdowns on in the past that would all be rightly regarded as trailblazers in their filed. They're singers, they're songwriters and they've all made their voices heard in their own way.
Black women have always been at the vanguard of artistic innovation, and have always been natural spokespeople for the marginalized in any culture. The artistic vision and creative voices of the women I've chosen to highlight today mean that they will forever have a place among the greats in music history. They've acted as a beacon for myself and countless artists who have chosen to make their voices heard in the arenas of activism and social justice.
I'm honored to be able to take time to highlight these important musical voices, and to shine a light on the work they've done to speak for the voiceless on and off the stage.

If you've heard about Project 2025, you already know what MAGA has in store -- a total takeover of the levers of democracy, and a gutting of most of the central government in favor of a Neo-Fascist, Christian Nationalist dystopia. It would be wonderful if that were an exaggeration, but it is not.
So many of us spend our time being (understandably) repulsed by this faction of the Republican party, that we don't take the time to study them. in this episode of "I'm All Over the Place," taken from my weekly broadcast on KJLH in LA, I take a look at the strategies that are being considered by MAGA to come out on top in the 2024 election, regardless of what 'we the people' have to say.

This week, we're taking a look at the latest 'dust up' taking over social media -- this time it's Queen Bey who's under fire for throwing her 10-gallon hat into the Country music genre. So, how much of this controversy is media-generated and how much of it's real? We know haters gonna hate, but the bigger question is, is there a real racism problem in Country music? Is it the industry? The fans? Do Black folks really care about making a splash in Country music, or is this all about Beyonce? We're doing a deep dive on the history of race in Country music on this week's episode of "I'm All Over the Place."

The Heritage Foundation has big plans for 2025. They’ve spent $22 million hiring ‘experts’ in a variety of fields to flesh out their plan for ‘total world domination.’ Well, maybe not WORLD domination, but they plan to vastly increase the power of the executive branch, and place Foundation-approved applicants in key positions throughout the government. The plan is nothing short of diabolical. The 1,000-page document is available on The Heritage Foundation’s website, and considering its size, very few people have actually read the whole thing – including Donald Trump, who is likely to be updated on highlights of the plan, and then turn its implementation over to Heritage Foundation operatives.
Anyone casting a vote in 2024 (or not) should be aware of what Project 2025 is.

The alleged problem of so-called "Race Hustlers" has been much-ballyhoo'd by folks on the right, but where exactly does this accusation come from? You might be surprised to know this is a 'gentrified' term, like a lot of other catch phrases that have become popular with conservatives. Why was this accusation first made, and towards whom was it directed? Understanding the history of terms like 'race baiter' or 'race agitator' can give us the full picture of why this accusation rings false when it's used by those who wish to silence conversations around racial equity and justice.

How easily manipulated are you? Did you know there’s a war waging for the ‘hearts and minds’ of voters right now? Are we allowing ourselves to be manipulated by the powers that be to support policies that go against our best interests? We certainly recognize when other people fall prey to this phenomenon, but can we recognize it in ourselves? We certainly don’t expect our political parties to be bastions of moral purity, but are they standing for anything at all? Or are they just good at gassing up our egos and causing us to fear what we don’t know? Let’s talk about it.

I’ll be discussing a wide variety of topics and I want my “I’m All Over the Place” community to be a part of that conversation. Let me know what you think about the new format. The good news is, you’ll get the show as consistently as the KJLH audience does - every Monday morning at 5am! So, be sure to make us a part of your weekly routine.
This week’s episode is on a topic I consider myself to be a bit of an expert on – Black Conservatism. I’m touching on an interesting phenomenon that’s being repackaged for a new age – “Racism Laundering.” What is it, and who benefits from it?

I’m starting a countdown today of my top 10 Breakdowns of 2023! Thank you all for weighing in on this. We’ll start with number 10, which is one of my favorite Breakdowns ever. It’s the story of how Lori Lieberman was denied writing credit on a song she greatly contributed to – “Killing me Softly.“ I had the chance to see Lori in concert at Carnegie Hall yesterday, and got to finally meet her in person after having interviewed her for my podcast, and staying in contact with her over the last few months.
She truly is a lovely woman, and I was so honored to bring more attention to her story. She is more than the wrong that was done to her, and I have learned so much about taking ownership of your life and art from her example. I’m so proud to now call her “friend.”

Is this the right time to talk about antisemitism? Is there a wrong time to talk about it? Can we have the conversation about Palestinian liberation at the same time? This is a pretty personal, impromptu episode I decided to do with Greg Bryant to explore questions I'm asking myself right now as someone who has been a strong advocate for the Jewish people.
We try to be careful not to equate issues of antisemitism with issues of anti-Zionism, but why does a conversation about one so quickly lead to a conversation about the other?
Doing any advocacy work around antisemitism is going to require that I be more outspoken about what's going on in the world right now. And I can't say I'm looking forward to learning how to hold those two realities simultaneously. But I'm going to try.

Je'Niece McCullough worked side-by-side with her dad, Bernie Mac for the last few years of his life. She had a front-row seat into his process, and she was able to observe him up close and personal at the very top of his game.
She didn't grow up as the privileged child of a famous man -- Bernie achieved most of his commercial success when she was well into adulthood. For that reason, Je'Niece has a unique perspective on fame and wealth. She was able to observe the consistency in her father's character as he made his slow climb to the top.
Bernie was a 'real one,' and Je'Niece is a product of his tutelage. Follow Je'Niece's podcast, Bernie's Daughter, where she interviews the people who knew him best. If you love Bernie, you'll love her podcast.

Many of us know Holly Robinson Peete from her long career in television, beginning with "21 Jump Street" and "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper." But did you know her first on-screen appearance happened much earlier? She's the daughter of Matt Robinson, who was the first "Gordon" on Sesame Street. Holly actually made her television debut on her dad's show in the early '70's.
This is the first of several episodes where we'll focus on Dads and Daughters. In this episode, Holly talks about what it was like to grow up with a dad whose job she didn't always understand. She also discusses the many challenges he faced in attempting to bring an inner-city character, Roosevelt Franklin, to the airwaves at a time when allowances were not made for a multitude of Black voices on the air.
Holly also discusses her career over the last 40 years, and gives insight into the driving force behind the "HollyRod" foundation she and her husband, Rodney Peete began all the way back in 1997, which is still going strong today.

The Khazar Theory, which states that the Ashkenazi Jews are not ethnically Jewish, has had a long and sordid history, having been promoted by a small group of scholars, writers and geneticists for the last 200 years. In the age of social media, the theory has made its way to the mainstream, picking up support from some very high profile celebrities. But what is the historical, linguistic and genetic grounding for this theory? Why has it continued to gain steam despite being repeatedly discredited by scholars across multiple disciplines?
Dara and Dr. Dan are unpacking "The Khazar Theory" while discussing the proliferation of misinformation, and their shared goal of educating those who seek real understanding and knowledge. Find Dr. Dan McClellan on all platforms at @maklelan.

By now, most people are familiar with the concept of cultural appropriation. But many questions still remain about cultural appropriation between minority groups. This is hardly a straightforward question, and the nuances that exist between various people groups can be discussed endlessly. But is there a "quick and dirty" way to describe what happens when two non-dominant cultures exhibit cultural insensitivity towards one another?

This week we're discussing Jason Aldean's "Small Town" video. I'm one of the 5 people that thinks there's a chance he didn't know the significance of the site where the video was filmed. Doesn't make it less racist, though. But it does reveal one of the common traps people can fall into when they try to claim ignorance around racial history. The song is an obvious dogwhistle to lynching and sundown towns, but the part many people seem unwilling to acknowledge is the conspiracy of silence that exists around race in many white families in the U.S.

The PR game never seems to end where political labels are concerned. It's in the best interest of conservatives to make reference to the fact that originally, Democrats were the "very, very bad racists" and not the Republicans. The truth is, most white folks were racist before the advent of the Civil Rights movement. One group fought to preserve slavery, though, and it wasn't the progressives. Party switch denial is nothing new, but the messaging of conservative groups has shifted in recent years.
More frequently, they seem to be using Black mouthpieces to get out their spin on why they shouldn't be thought of as the natural successors to those who attempted to secede the Union over Negro slavery. We delve into this topic today, and end the show with a discussion of my new album & two upcoming shows.

You may know about the kiss shared between actress Nichelle Nichols and William Shatner -- what's widely thought of as the first interracial kiss on American television, but you may not know the deeper story of the hostility Nichols had to endure behind the scenes, and how close she came to walking away from the show altogether -- a decision that was curtailed by a very influential voice.

It seems we're stuck in an endless cycle these days -- gun violence, thoughts and prayers, calls for legislative action, complete inaction, move on to the next tragedy. Wash, rinse, repeat.
On today's episode, I'm speaking with human rights lawyer, Qasim Rashid, who has become an outspoken voice on social media for social justice in all forms. He's an extremely knowledgeable resource when it comes to understanding the history of the United States' obsession with gun culture.
He helps us understand the resistance to common sense gun laws and how this issue ties back to segregation and Jim Crow. We also discuss ways to take action to ensure this pattern does not continue indefinitely.

Songwriter Lori Lieberman wrote a poem about the impact Don McClean's song, "Empty Chairs" had on her. That poem became, "Killing Me Softly." Her co-writers were Norman Gimbel (lyricist) and Charles Fox (composer). They helped develop the poem into a full-fledged song. But years later, after their personal and professional relationship with Lori had gone sour, they attempted to re-write history, and claimed that the story of Lori writing the poem that became, "Killing Me Softly" was an "Urban Legend."
In this episode of, "I'm All Over the Place" I sit down for an extensive conversation with Lori, whose version of "Killing Me Softly" pre-dates Roberta Flack's. We discuss her upbringing, her career, her relationship with Gimbel and Fox, and how she's doing today.

We're releasing this Breakdown in advance of our interview with Lori Lieberman, which is coming soon!
For years, it was understood that Lori Lieberman's poem about Don McClean was the inspiration behind the iconic ballad, "Killing Me Softly." Until it wasn't. Here's the story of how the person whose writing was the foundation for this Grammy-winning song was edged out of a writing credit, and later, denied any acknowledgement of her work being the inspiration for the classic Roberta Flack hit at all.

This Breakdown, which is also available on my YouTube channel, is a companion piece to Episode 13 with Adam Dorn.
"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was not a hit when it was released in 1969. Producer Joel Dorn warned Roberta Flack that her slow as molasses version might not go over well with the masses. And he was right -- until burgeoning director, Clint Eastwood plucked the song -- and it's singer -- from obscurity.

Adam Dorn (Mocean Worker) got a front row seat to many of Roberta Flack's career-defining moments. As the son of Joel Dorn, producer of Roberta's first 5 albums, he had a unique vantage point into the behind-the-scenes of both her early career with his dad, and her mid-80's resurgence with his friend, producer Marcus Miller. He joined many of those later recording sessions as a "fly on the wall" production assistant.

From 30 Rock to Tropic Thunder to more ethically ambiguous examples like Community and Mad Men, we examine why these images are still with us, and if they have any place in public discourse.

Recently, comic strip writer Scott Adams, who created the Dilbert character, made some incendiary statements about Black people. These are not the first controversial statements he's made about race, sexuality, gender or feminism. It's been his stock & trade for the better part of 15 years. But is there a greater conversation to be had around these sentiments, which he claims not to hold sincerely? Is this really just about the manipulative rantings of a wannabe social manipulator? Or do his comments speak to a deeper truth about our society at large? Join my cohost Greg Bryant and I as we dig a little deeper on this one.

The question of who invented Rock & Roll is one that has been debated for decades. And it may not be as easy to determine as some people believe.

In this bonus episode of IAOTP, I examine the deep musical roots that led to the development of one of the most enduring music genres of all time.

In this episode, Dara and Greg discuss the subject of her most recent "Breakdown Video" -- the antisemitic remarks made by multiple members of the black community. What do we make of this fraught relationship? Why does antisemitism seem to be tolerated and even promoted in the Black community? Why is there such pushback when Black people attempt to discuss this subject? And why do people think you can cover the whole of human history in a 5-minute TikTok? We have questions.

Elvis is rightly considered the King of Cultural Appropriation by many. But what exactly is cultural appropriation? And how does it differ from simply appreciating another culture? These aren't just words and feelings that are thrown around lightly -- they have real meaning, and real implications for the people they impact.

A special live episode of "I'm All Over the Place"! We went live on TikTok and filmed this episode to respond to the breaking news that comedian Dave Chapelle was jumped at the Hollywood Bowl. We discuss possible legal implications for Dave and his fellow comedians after their backstage retaliation, which left the attacker with a dislocated arm. And we talk about the unprecedented climate in which we live as compared with comedy's early days where comedians such as Lenny Bruce could be arrested for performing raunchy material.

Dara Starr Tucker and special co-host Greg Bryant are taking a deeper look at a few of the comedians who are grabbing their attention right now – Tony Baker, KevOnStage, Jerod Carmichael, Tabitha Brown and Terrell Grice -- comedians and social media personalities who have built a career on telling their stories – the good, the bad and the ugly. These social media figures have helped to give them a sense of clarity about how they’d like to tell their stories. They’ll also talk a bit about the behind-the-scenes making of one of Dara’s more recent videos – Jazz is a 4-Letter Word. Then, in Dara’s “Finding Your Voice” segment, she discusses why many people may have difficulty finding the freedom to bring their full selves to the public sphere when it comes to establishing a social media presence.
