Waiting on Reparations

Waiting on Reparations is a thought-provoking intersectional podcast that bridges the gap between Hip Hop culture and political discourse. Hosted by rapper-visual artist Dope Knife and hip-hop artist-politician Linqua Franqa, the show offers a unique, dual-perspective analysis of how public policy shapes marginalized communities and how artistic expression reflects our political reality. With a tone that is both intellectually rigorous and culturally grounded, the hosts navigate complex topics ranging from health disparities and mental wellbeing to Afrofuturism and electoral politics. By featuring guests from both the music industry and the academic/political spheres, the podcast serves as an essential resource for listeners interested in the sociopolitical power of music and the active role of artists in shaping future policy.
