Season 2 - Episode 1: Back from Hiatus & Reviewing The 1619 Project

Listen to this episode from The Media Illiteracy Report on Spotify. On the first episode of season two of the Media Illiteracy Report, we get back into the swing of things by dedicating an entire episode to reviewing and reacting to Nikole Hannah-Jones et al's The 1619 Project. As always, we close by updating each other on the past week (or weeks!) and the week to come. Thanks for listening!
