Ep 8: The Cost of These Dreams

By: Michael Johnson

Concluding with the story of Muhammad Ali, a reflective Michael draws conclusions from what he's learned over the previous seven episodes. With US track and field athlete Gwen Berry and retired NBA star John Amaechi, he asks whether acts of defiance truly bring change, and contemplates whether he himself would take the knee were he still competing.

This episode contains strong language, including use of the N word, and descriptions of racial violence. Listener discretion is advised.

Thanks Michael

Thanks Michael,
As a white European descent South American I never realized my positions of privilege and the lack of it for other portion of society. You changed my perception of it and with that understanding I can now do something about it. I thank you for that.
Keep going, Carlos

Phenomenal and Important

As someone who is really interested in social movements and protest but not a big sports fan, I wasn’t sure I would get into this one. I was blown away. Truly great storytelling carrying hard and inspiring messages. Recommending to everyone who will listen.
