On this episode, the team starts by discussing their thoughts about weddings before moving on to the news of Elon Musk buying Twitter. What consequences can we expect on a platform with unmonitored free speech? How do we weigh free speech against purposeful misinformation? A complex matter. We then transition to this concept of “otherization.” Why do we tend to “group” ourselves along what oftentimes are ima...
What was supposed to be an in-depth discussion regarding legacy turns into the interrogation of "Manny Long Legs". Except this time, Amanuel has them a little shook when he starts firing back. While recording this episode, we didn't feel like we talked about much but on the playback we actually covered a lot of ground. Don't miss an episode that includes: Daniel freestyling, deciphering the true meaning of legacy, the importance of...
In Season 2 Episode 13 the trio gets into a discussion about the etymology of names, first discussing the origin of "Korea" and then into the Korean naming convention and multiple tangents from there. Eddie talks about his family nickname and Manny earns a new one "Manny Long Legs". The guys then begin discussing dating taller women and that leads to a listener requested topic of how they would feel dating a woman with a higher inc...
On part 2 of our episode with author/journalist/activist/insertothercooltitle Jeff Pearce, we discuss his upcoming book The Gifts of Africa releasing worldwide on April 15 (PREORDER tinyurl.com/393kxywx). He writes, “The West will begin to understand Africa when it realizes it’s not talking to a child—it’s talking to its mother.” Unfortunately, little attention is paid to African history but Jeff Pearc...
Another episode, another special guest graces us with their insight! Jeff Pearce (author, journalist, activist, ally for African progress) joins us to discuss his time in Ethiopia at the height of the war waged by the TPLF on Ethiopia (the war still continues...). Jeff was present on the ground in places such as Dessie, Lalibela, and Afar. He spent time with internally displaced peoples (IDPs) and visited sites destroyed by TPLF (h...
We have a special guest on this episode of the Semi-Americans Podcast…drum roll…Dr. Mark Spencer, MD. Mark joins us to discuss policing in the United States. This is one of our longer episodes but we honestly could have kept talking for longer (we definitely plan to have him on an episode again in the future). Mark provides great insight to the lack of accountability with policing and how the data does not support tha...
In Episode 10 Season 2, the trio tries out a new segment where we call our listeners to bring them on air for their outlook and opinions. Our special guest this week is Lorrane Kabert, M.D., please tune in to see what she has to say on the subjects of transparency, commitment, and certainty. This was certainly a very fun and brain-busting episode for the team as Lorrane brought a fresh new point of view and a thought-provoking appr...
Misunderstandings…the root of conflict. In episode 9 of season 2, we discuss the importance of perspective and tolerance. As the trio continues to discuss the current events of the world, we realize that we have a moral obligation to pursue understanding and knowledge from a point of view other than our own. Through open dialogue and conversation, we are able to view events and situations from a lens that we may have never c...
This week, the trio discusses the current rise of conflicts in the world. Is there ever any justification for war? If so, what is something that you are so passionate about that you would be willing to die for or defend to the end of you? We question why war is normalized in society and whether the rationale of protecting American interests is a shroud for the capitalistic machine that is fueled by greed and money. As Semi-American...
This week’s episode is our response to a social media comment on whether positions should be based solely on merit. Merit is not the topic that we should be focusing on, as most positions have a barrier of entry via education or licenses that individuals within that job already possess. We believe that it would be imprudent to dismiss that a diverse workforce provides intangible benefits of communication, perspective, and tol...
