    Episode 1 - Dred Scott - The tale of one mans freedom and one countries worst sin
    Oct 27 2025
    What happens when one man’s perfectly legal (and wildly brave) fight for freedom slams headfirst into America’s favorite pastime—denying its own ideals? In this episode, we dive into the life of Dred Scott, the enslaved man who dared to sue for his freedom—a move both legally warranted and audacious as hell given the racism of his time. We’ll trace his journey through multiple “owners,” the legal maze he had to navigate, and the Supreme Court justices who looked at the Constitution and somehow concluded that Black people had “no rights which the white man was bound to respect.” Spoiler alert: this ruling didn’t exactly bring the country together for a sing-along.

    Joining me is my best friend Londell as we dig into the historical absurdity and tragic inevitability of it all. Together, we unpack how the Dred Scott decision didn’t just expose America’s hypocrisy—it accelerated the country straight toward civil war. Expect sharp laughs, deep dives, and plenty of “I can’t believe the U.S. did that” moments as we peel back the layers of one of the most infamous cases in American history.
