Episode 11: Race, Police, Anger and Empathy

This is a departure for Dad Podz, delving into a serious topic. Though it is not explicit, violence is discussed and may be upsetting to hear, though Dad Podz feels it is important to say. Michael and Shane discuss police brutality, the demonstrations around the world, protests and riots. Shane tackles his own white privilege. Michael talks about the systemic problems that require similarly large changes. They discuss some solutions, give some tips on what people can do to help, but mostly they are angry and sad.

At the end, they discuss some kid friendly media that is well representative of other races and cultures. Representation matters.

They even muster up a Dad Bod of the Week.
