Native Land Pod

iHeartPodcasts and Reasoned Choice

In the spirit of the last stanza of the Black National Anthem, we rise from the past, rooted deeply in the soil of ancestral struggles, to build a home, to claim our space. On Native Land Pod, Angela Rye, Bakari Sellers, and Andrew Gillum guide us through the political landscape, wielding insights and unapologetic analysis, unraveling the threads that connect Black Americans and marginalized communities to a place they courageously call home.

In each episode, Angela, Bakari, and Andrew embark on a journey of reflection, taking stock of the news of the week and the country's road to the polls.

Join us each week as we navigate the dance between past and present, weaving a narrative of hope, empowerment, and the unyielding strength that defines the journey to reclaim 'Native Land.' This isn't just news analysis; it's a movement, a conversation, and a testament to the power of those who dare to rebuild and redefine the meaning of home.

Angela sits down with a panel of experts including Charlamagne Tha God, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Delano Squires, and more to separate history from hot takes, and to ask whether the fight over the word is taking up space that could go towards bigger issues.

Why Does Everybody Want to Say the N-Word? | Angela Rye SoloPod
It’s in our music, our group chats, and some of our most painful memories. But familiarity hasn’t erased the history of the N-word or the weight it carries. Angela explores how a word used to degrade and terrorize Black people became, for some, an expression of familiarity, identity, and connection. What does reclaiming it actually mean? Does changing the ending change its impact? And why do so many people outside the Black community feel entitled to say it? It’s a conversation about language, power, and why who says it still matters. Our guest is Dr. Hiram Smith, author of “Wassup, My Nigga Book.” To get Dr. Hiram Smith's "Wassup, My Nigga Book": https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GTMVGXP6?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback Join hosts Angela Rye for a SoloPod episode of Native Land Pod.
