Pretending to Know About: Your Rights (with TikTok star Everyday Law)
Things You Pretend to Know About
07/03/20 • 62 min
Rae talks to lawyer and TikTok phenomenon Sean of Everyday Law to gain knowledge on what our rights are when dealing with the police.
Note from Host: I feel like this episode is very important right now. Of course, this information can only hold you so far if you are a BIPOC. Things need to change right now. But what Sean shares in this episode is something that could be extremely useful for everyone. I am really trying to give as much information to you guys as possible. The fight clearly is not over, so please listen to this episode and learn as much as you can, for if and when you need to use it for your own life.

Pretending to Know About: Defunding the Police - Conversation with District Attorney Candidate Janos Marton
Things You Pretend to Know About
06/13/20 • 61 min
- Host, Rae speaks with candidate for District Attorney of Manhattan, Janos Marton on the topic that the entire country is talking about right now (whether you like it or not)...Defunding the police. Janos also talks on things such as police reform, prison reform, his current campaign and much more.
- Note from Host: Hello from the past - in the year 2020, despite the world being on lockdown due to a global pandemic, people all around the country (self included) finally left their homes to fight against racial injustices in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement. No but really, these past few months have seemed like something out of a movie, and definitely not a rom-com. But the sad truth is that Black people and BIPOC have been fighting this fight all their lives. I hope if you're white and you're reading this, your ill informed brainwashed AP History teacher hasn't fooled you, America has never not been racist. Just about every institution this country has built, was built on a racist system. If you don't believe me please refer back to the episode before this one entitled "Are All White People Racist?". Now let's talk "Defunding the Police". Listen, what's going on right now isn't about you're friendly uncle who's a cop. To be frank with you, it took me a second to get that out of my head because guess what, I have a friendly cop uncle. This is about the racist institution and system the Police force was built on in the first place. As of today, June 12th, 2020, Breonna Taylor's murderers are still on active duty as cops. If you don't know, Breonna Taylor was in bed, sleeping, when three cops murdered her in her own home. As Keith Ellison, Attorney General of Minneapolis said after the murder of George Floyd "There needs to be deep systemic change." That change comes from the very top (and protest of course), with voting for people like Janos Marton. I wanted to thank him for speaking to me in these trying times, and wish him the best in his campaign (he has my vote).

Pretending to Know About: Internalized Racism - "Are all white people racist?"
Things You Pretend to Know About
05/22/20 • 74 min
Host, Rae talks to panel about the common and taboo question of "are all white people racist?" This panel discussing the nuances of the claim "racist" and the internalized racism that is within all of us.
Note from host: If this topic pisses you off...listen to this episode. Open your mind to why this question pisses you off. Racist can feel like a harsh term, and no one is definitively saying "all white people are racist"...this is just an open conversation with people of color, black people and white people. Come out of this conversation however you will, personally I learned a lot and I think you will too. All I know that in today's world, there is no excuse for people to be complacent around racist behavior and actions. I hope you feel good after this episode, it's all love here.

BONUS EPISODE: Surviving Covid-19
Things You Pretend to Know About
05/08/20 • 40 min
Host, Rae Weyn Gonzalez talks to friend Molly who lived through having the Coronavirus aka Covid-19.
Note from Host: I know we're all trying to distract ourselves from the GLOBAL PANDEMIC THAT IS HAPPENING right now, but I also thought it would be really weird if I just ignored it all together. This being because it's super prevalent in all our lives right now and even though it is very annoying, it's also very important.

Pretending to Know About: Astrology - interview with a professional Astrologer
Things You Pretend to Know About
05/08/20 • 69 min
In the season 3 premiere, host Rae Weyn Gonzalez talks to professional Astrologer, Kirah (@thestrology) asking her questions on all things Astrology and the zodiac.
Note from Host: In the intro to this episode I kept calling Kirah the "Strologer"...she literally never claimed that name and I don't know why I got it into my head that, that was what she called herself. I think it's because her social handle is "TheStrology". I'm dumb, but isn't that the point of the show? Sorry Kirah, you rock.
