  • Summary

  • In the spirit of the last stanza of the Black National Anthem, we rise from the past, rooted deeply in the soil of ancestral struggles, to build a home, to claim our space. On Native Land Pod, Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum guide us through the political landscape, wielding insights and unapologetic analysis, unraveling the threads that connect Black Americans and marginalized communities to a place they courageously call home.

    In each episode, Angela, Tiffany and Andrew embark on a journey of reflection, taking stock of the news of the week and the country's road to the polls.

    Join us each week as we navigate the dance between past and present, weaving a narrative of hope, empowerment, and the unyielding strength that defines the journey to reclaim 'Native Land.' This isn't just news analysis; it's a movement, a conversation, and a testament to the power of those who dare to rebuild and redefine the meaning of home.

  • Knuck If You Buck: NLP Unfiltered with Roland Martin

    Knuck If You Buck: NLP Unfiltered with Roland Martin
    Apr 10 2025

    This week hosts Tiffany Cross and Angela Rye are joined by special guest-host: Roland S Martin (of Roland Martin Unfiltered). Roland is one of the most vital sources of independent news for the Black community; his YouTube channel @rolandsmartin has 1.8 million subscribers and counting.

    Today’s show kicks off with Trump’s attacks on the Blacksonian (National Museum of African American History) and the massive protests against him over the weekend. A lot of folks are complaining about the Trump administration but we don’t see enough doing; Roland says younger generations are “withdrawing from the bank of justice” without making any deposits. How do we help Black folks battle the apathy and feel their agency?

    Tariffs–tariffs for everyone! Or not? Let’s be 100% clear y’all: tariffs are a tax that WE will pay. Our hosts explain how tariffs work, why they were put in place, and who benefits (SPOILER ALERT: it’s not us).

    Male enrollment at HBCUs is hitting historical lows, mirroring attendance at colleges nationwide. This represents a failure to engage men in the educational process that starts well before college. The hosts discuss causes, impacts, and potential solutions.

    Host Andrew Gillum is out this week. He’s on a field trip with the kids to NASA. Have fun Andrew!

    And of course we’ll hear from you! If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.

    We are 572 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all!

  • Why Are White People Afraid of Black History? | Angela Rye SoloPod

    Why Are White People Afraid of Black History? | Angela Rye SoloPod
    Apr 9 2025

    The Trump administration has issued an executive order to remove Black history from the Smithsonian. It targets “woke ideology,” the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and anything else that might make white folks uncomfortable. Yes, we know that LOTS of TRUE history makes white folks uncomfortable. But Trump has more to gain by this Soviet-style erasure than just avoiding scary feelings…

    Angela Rye goes LIVE to breakdown Trump’s latest Executive Order, “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.”

  • Can Black People Be Colonizers? | MiniPod

    Can Black People Be Colonizers? | MiniPod
    Apr 4 2025

    Hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross, along with guest-host Elie Mystal, respond to a provocative listener question submitted by Dr. B.J. Brunious.

    Dr. Brunious saw last week’s episode and, as a Black gay man, was TRIGGERED. He doesn’t know anyone who identifies as “gay” before “Black” (as was discussed last week). He asks how it came to be that some Black folk think that one group’s gains (hispanics, LGBTQ, etc.) mean the Black community’s loss? Isn’t this the same logic used by white people AGAINST the Black community all the time?

Excellent commentary and format

I saw this podcast promoted on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show, The Reid Out. I immediately looked for it as soon as it dropped and I’m so glad that I did. I’m a huge fan of all 3 hosts and missed seeing them on news outlets. On each weekly podcast, they share powerful personal stories and offer timely and insightful commentary on key issues that are glossed over in mainstream news. I’ve felt informed, inspired, and energized after each episode. I highly recommend this podcast, it is definitely is worth a listen.

Just what I needed

This podcast is just what I needed and what I have been waiting for. I love Tiffany and really been waiting for her return to some platform. I love Angela, so sad to hear what happened to her on that network. Best of luck you guys on this new venture.
