Going to browse backwards through the archives because I think I tuned in on the tail end of what you're describing... any particular episodes come to mind? I'd love to know what stuck out for you.

Welcome!

Another "+1" for the same reasons. The political commentary is enlightening, but it's also refreshing to revisit the foundational stuff.

I've only just started watching, but it would not surprise me if the show piqued the interest of other FDR listeners. To wit: Has anyone else watched this? It's on Netflix in Canada & the US.

Cool! Can I get dm you my email to get an invite to the channel? Always happy to meet like minded folks. Being able to talk shop is gravy.

My eyebrows inched upwards at the scene where Ramona pushes back to her mom about moving in with the main family because they're "so white". Of course, the episodes all end with hugs and togetherness. Loved the playful bits like Rainbow Jamz mentioned above.

Only in Japan, eh? I wonder why it is that so many oddities seem to come out of that little island. Interesting read!

Great analysis. Really appreciated the deconstruction.

Hi there! I want to put the feelers out and see if there's anyone on these boards who lives in my neck of the woods. If you're north of Toronto, in and around York Region (Newmarket, Aurora, etc.) and would like someone to chat about any of the FDR shows, or general philosophy/ethics/politics with, fire off a reply in this thread. I'd like to just grab a coffee or some light fare with a couple of folks. If there is more than a handful of us, then I'll gladly take point, and organize a more structured get together.

Hi, Mike! One of the source URLs is currently offline, but I've found a cached version on archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20130118072133/http://8-1chains.wikispaces.com/Life+of+Slaves+in+Antebellum+America The original: http://8-1chains.wikispaces.com/Life+of+Slaves+in+Antebellum+America
