Which do you think will come first: concert hall equity or police reform? In the midst of the historic trial of Derek Chauvin, 20-year-old Daunte Wright was killed by another Twin Cities-area police officer, sparking yet another season of protests, unrest, and anger. Garrett and Scott offer reactions while under curfew, and revisit the question of "good" policing. Garrett celebrates the legacy of Florence Price with violinist Er-Gene Kahng, noted for creating the premiere recording of Price's Violin Concerti. And the guys draw connections between DEI initiatives and a supposed ally from the world of science fiction.
