On today’s BradCast, guest hosted by me, Angie Coiro, it’s Iran Iran Iran – today’s developments and (with help from the BradCast archive) historical context. Then a changeup – the second of our interviews about growing up a black woman in America.
Israel is one of the few supporters of Donald Trump’s move to disengage from the 2015 international nuclear agreement with Iran. Up front in the show, a collection of less favorable – and sometimes frankly mystified – reactions from world leaders, mainstream media, and social media.
Then for invaluable context: Brad’s October interview with Trita Parsi of The National Iranian American Council . They detail the runup to today’s developments: how Congress addressed the issue, and the potential it has to start a war.
Finally, it’s the second part of this week’s look at growing up black and female in America. Today’s perspective comes from academic and memoirist Julie Lythcott-Haims, with her book Real American. Her life with a black dad and a white mom makes an interesting contrast to yesterday’s guest Morgan Jerkins, with Julie coming of age in the 1970s. That was a very different America (although not different enough, as you’ll hear) from what Morgan experienced in the aughts.
You can hear both of those interviews uncut at the In Deep with Angie Coiro podcast page.
