Anjali shares a 2017 interview she did on public radio with comedian Hari Kondabolu (Totally Biased with W Kamau Bell, The Problem with Apu) about race, politics and comedy writing, that remains relevant to the current moment. Anjali also reviews some recent series watches, and looks ahead to several highly anticipated shows in 2024. Part of this program originally aired on WORT 89.9FM and streamed at http://www.wortfm.org.

Anjali spoke with friend and community organizer Brandon Lee, Chicago's pre-eminent scholar on all things Star Wars (in Anjali's opinion), about the plethora of streaming tv shows from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Anjali also shares the reflections of political prisoner Mumia Abu Jamal, whose 1977 essay "Star Wars and the American Imagination" still resonates in this current moment of empire versus rebels.

Our guest this episode is Dawn Borchardt - videographer, photographer, film festival producer and host of the filmmaker interview podcast Faux Reel. Anjali chatted with Dawn about Indigenous-led series Reservation Dogs, and the docuseries Murder In Big Horn. Anjali also reviews two Indigenous-led TV shows - Trickster and Rutherford Falls - and shares some reflections on Indigenous People's Heritage Month.
