Today, we’re re-running an episode from our Rightnowish colleagues. Host Pendarvis Harshaw talks to Oakland filmmaker, organizer and MC, Boots Riley. They talk about his latest T.V show, I’m a Virgo, participating in the Writers Guild of America Strike, and the ways the media has failed in its coverage of the violence in Oakland. 

This episode originally aired on Jan.4.
