#001: The "Hey Starbucks, Will You Sponsor Us?" Episode

Hosts Baratunde Thurston, Raquel Cepeda, and Tanner Colby discuss the Starbucks "Race Together" fiasco; the issues of race, class, and identity raised in This American Life's "Three Miles" episode; and the ongoing debate over black celebrities and 'The New Black.'"

First ep seems pretty promising.
