We had a whole agenda of topics for discussion today, but due to technical difficulties with losing co-host Mike (@blackexception1 on Twitter) and stalling while waiting for him to resolve his tech issues and come back (he never did), remaining co-host D. Mills (@mdmills79 on Twitter) and I ended up having a pretty fun unplanned discussion on gentrification.

My episode all about why I hate Hamilton the Musical. This is a double sized episode clocking in at over two hours, but we’ll be back to 1 hour episodes from this point forward. Since I didn’t post any episodes last week consider this making up for last week’s missed episode.
Update: This is an edited version to fix sound issues that were there previously.
