Here’s an early upload of our newest episode of Mainline News Hour (featuring myself and co-host Sylvia!) which will air on WRFG on Friday at 12pm EST, as well as stream on The Mainline Podcast wherever you get your podcasts. This is an extended play version, meaning you get a something special and personalized from yours truly to contextualize this episode a bit more and give some insight to what’s going on in our newsroom.

INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This episode was recorded on both the unceded ancestral lands of the Muscogee Creek Tribe on so-called Atlanta, Ga., and those of the Duwamish Tribe on so-called Seattle, Wash. It is with deep honor and respect we not only acknowledge the land colonial ancestors have stolen—and continue to colonize—but also embed our work with deep intentions set towards repair, reparations, and abolition.
The work continues.
