  • 9am: Staying in the Fight with Ijeoma Oluo
  • 10am: The Art of Calling In with Loretta J. Ross
  • 11am: The AI Hype Industrial Complex with Emily M. Bender

Friday July 3rd – First America, Edge of America’s 250, US at 250: 

 
  • 9am: First America Marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, First America uncovers the Indigenous history at the heart of America’s founding. Hosted by Cherokee journalist Rebecca Nagle, this one-hour special examines how Native nations and their resistance shaped the nation’s early history and its enduring challenges.
  • 10am:  Notes from the Edge of America’s 250 (July 4th Special) – Notes from the Edge is a KALW program hosted by Jeff Chang and featuring Jamelle Bouie (NYT columnist), Paul Farber (Monument Lab) and three culture makers—Leyla McCalla, La Doña and Julian Brave Noisecat. 
  • 11am: The US at 250: A Native Perspective on the Tending Our Roots podcast – also from KALW, this episode focuses on Indigenous collective healing

Audio archives are also available on the studio links above and the KBCS Thom Hartmann Program page.

Given the systemic erasure in the official America 250 narrative of how America was founded on Indigenous land and with Black labor, we uplift predominantly Black and Indigenous narratives, producers & voices this week. 

Tune in and learn more about these programs curated by current KBCS Director of Public Affairs Programming, J. Asarnow.
