So, this is our first episode, our introduction to the world. I decided to do a show on privilege, because if I’m going to do a show on all these sociological, political and cultural issues, I think it’s important to do an episode acknowledging my privilege, and setting the stage for all our following episodes.
I apologize for sounding nervous on this one, but it’s my first show, so please cut me some slack, I’ve already completed the second episode, and I hear that I sound much more comfortable. So, with that said…
Welcome to the Truth to Power Hour. We’re going to talk about real issues in an honest way. My name it Joel Green, I’m an old man, new on Campus, learning awesome things, and am looking to share it with you.
We’re going to talk about issues of today, and play music that relates… somehow.
So, on this episode, I’m acknowledging my privilege. So that from this point on, when we’re talking about issues that include the patriarchy, racism, homophobia, whatever, we can acknowledge that anything I say is from the perspective of a Gen X, Straight, White Man.
I’m about to turn 50, just left the military after 20 years, and am back in school, and now I have this radio show.
Let’s learn together. It’ll be awesome.
This episode has the following music.
1. Funky President – James Brown
2. Southern Man – Sylvester and the Hot Band
3. Hymn to Freedom – Oscar Peterson
4. We the People who are Darker than Blue – Curtis Mayfield
5. They Say I’m Different- Bettie Davis
I Hope you enjoy, if you have any critiques, please let me know, and maybe we can address it.
Just remember this, if you get anything out of this episode, it’s the value of empathy and humility.
enjoy,
Joel
