This is probably my favorite podcast so far from Our Social Landscape... I enjoyed both interviews-- One of my favorite anecdotes from Mike Getty was his description of his friend (who is a traditional singer) attending a Chiefs game and listening to the entire crowd "singing" some meaningless song imitating traditional Indian music and how maddening and inane that was... I also enjoyed the discussion with badass attorney, RT White, about teams beyond the Redskins and whether this movement to change mascots will go beyond the NFL. And lastly, I loved the traditional music!!
