Georgetown University professor and social critic Michael Eric Dyson weighs in with searing commentary on the hottest issues of the day.

Using rhetorical gifts that led the Chronicle of Higher Education to declare that Michael Eric Dyson “can rock classroom and chapel alike,” Dyson weighs in with searing commentary on the hottest social issues of the day—all in his dynamic, inimitable style. The three-to-five-minute vignettes cover everything from politics to pop culture, race matters to the latest writers, and reach across gender, generational, class, and racial lines to offer a unique and sought-after point of view on issues of concern to all Americans.
