Cat is Man's Best Friend

If you were to walk into Gimlet HQ, there are a few things you’d probably notice right off the bat. First, it’s crowded - like a grungy dorm room. Second, the lighting… it’s not great. Not many windows. Third, it’s white. Really white. 24 of Gimlet’s 27 employees are white. In this episode, we look at diversity (or lack thereof) at Gimlet. And we try to figure out what diversity should mean for the company going forward.

Just For You

For this episode we sat down with Sally Rumble, at the airport in Austin. We hear how her letter exchange with Herman Wallace educated her about the oppression of black people, and Sally has since then been a strong advocate of human rights and a civil rights activist. At the end of the podcast we hear 'Only love can save us' by Charlie Pierce.

The East Bay’s KKK started by burning crosses in the hills, and they quickly captured power in City Hall. This movement didn’t last long—their rise and fall all happened around the time of the 1920s. But they did make an impact that changed Oakland forever. The kind of impact that Trump could have on America. 

This episode features an interview with Professor Chris Rhomberg, author of “No There There: Race, Class, and Political Community in Oakland” [Also available on iTunes and Stitcher]
