Show Notes
Why are TMZ and others so quick to proclaim the innocence of Nolan Wells’ friends, particularly after they said that they abandoned Nolan on an island??
Our guest, independent journalist and former news anchor Janai Norman, has been covering the case of Nolan Wells through a media literacy lens. She joins us to bring some sanity to the media coverage of the 18-year-old’s death.
Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for this MiniPod.

Something is shifting in the South. A new class of Democratic candidates is riding a tide. Our two guests, candidates from Arkansas and Mississippi, report from the front lines of the blue wave.
Many candidates for national office on the Republican side are not showing up to debates, and generally don’t seem to be making a big effort to get elected. What’s their play? Do they have something else in mind besides getting votes?? Y’all, we have to be TOO BIG TO RIG.
Mississippi’s attorney general, Lynn Fitch, and her office have cleared the Senatobia police of wrongdoing after one of their officers shot and killed a 1-year-old in a Walmart Parking lot last summer.
Bakari Sellers ranks the top candidates for the 2028 presidential election, sports-center style.
