TKAM #815 Young, Woke, & Irish. #MotivationMonday

Summary: 3.19.18 Top of the morning to everyone out there. Spring is closing in and the air quality is okay for now. St. Patrick’s day was this past weekend, and today we ask: What is the story of the Irish in America and when did the WASP population take them in? Plus, if you’re hungover from St.Patty’s we got the way to bring you back up. #MotivationMonday TK and Conscious start out the show with things to share. Conscious got a new tattoo and TK had a dream about a handsome football man. What do they mean? Probably some things. In #NewsYouCanUse: The Austin bombings are still going on. The pattern keeps pointing to POC. Hannibal Buress upsets Loyola University by joking about the Catholic Church’s sexual misconduct accusations. Rihanna clashes with Snapchat over an offensive “Would You Rather” ad. During #ChatroomCheckin we go over some listeners motivations before jumping into the spirit of the Irish holiday. We hear the story and view of the Irish from TK’s white woke friend and teacher, Keith Swingle. St. Patrick’s Day is not what people think, and the Irish themselves have quite the immigrant story. Followed by more #MotivationMonday shoutouts before ending thw show. @TKinTheAM is live every M-W-F 10-1130am EST on bondfireradio.com and tunein app. Same day replays 7pm EST also available on Apple Podcasts, GooglePlay Music, mixcloud, and Spreaker! If you really like us, leave a review on Apple Podcast that’d be really cool.
