“ 

It’s so important in a moment where our democracy seems to be on a knife’s edge that we have a show that actually demands something of us. That forces you to sit down and listen and think and debate and reflect. It’s a treasure in these crisis times.”

Eddie S. Glaude Jr

Chair, Dept. of
African American Studies
Princeton University

“ 

It’s important to support independent media so much of the media is controlled by big corporations and people that have an axe to grind.”

“ 

The Laura Flanders Show actually takes us into deep conversations that are really impacting our lives right now and uplifting people that are shaping the future in a way that will make it liveable for so many of us.”
