On tap in this week’s Bar Talk are the 2021 Olympics, the “2020” UEFA European Championship, and a segment called Weekly Reads and Record Sleeves, where George and Dave chat about new books and vinyl they’re enjoying. An active traveler and educator, Rebekah talks about the pandemic’s effect on artists and the need for a social safety net in the US, her musical career and newfound enthusiasm for teaching, the power of one on one performance, and her love of cycling. This week’s game is a real trip, as Rebekah and the guys explore relationships between instruments and destinations, from the bold brass bands of NOLA to the wild and wonderful world of theramins in Iceland! Dave gets excited for the NBA finals and Janicza Bravo’s “Zola,” while George looks ahead to the July 11th premiere of “The White Lotus” on HBOMax. Producer Mary Bess acknowledges Disability Pride Month by drawing attention to failings in air travel accessibility and the Air Carrier Access Amendments Act of 2021.

On today’s episode, Know Your Role(s) welcomes social justice activist, BLM organizer, and South Carolina House of Representatives District 25 candidate Derrick Quarles to the pod! On tap in this week’s Bar Talk are the return of live sporting events, Andrew Cuomo’s sudden ban on to-go alcoholic drinks in NYC, and LGBTQ+ representation in the new MCU series “Loki” and beyond. DQ talks about his road to the South Carolina House of Representatives, tackling everything from gentrification to the juvenile justice system to police accountability, as well as celebrating good news for social justice activists and the cities and people getting it right. This week’s game taps into DQ’s southern roots as the fellas compare Southern Rap Songs to Soul Food, where all agree we “Sho Nuff” need gumbo and “Errbody” loves fried chicken! George looks forward to his first concert since lockdown at C’mon Everybody, and Dave gets excited for the July 2nd release of Questlove’s “Summer of Soul.” Producer Mary Bess calls attention to Corporate Accountability Action’s efforts to hold large corporations accountable for the dollars they give to anti-LGBTQ legislation and the power consumers hold.
