*Special* Chris Shannon: Race in America, openly and honestly

Author: RegAmazePeeps June 1, 2020 Duration: 1:13:20

Dirk and Chris explore race in America by talking openly about protesting, violence, biases, personal experiences, and objections that are voiced by many behind closed doors.  If you know of anyone with similar experiences who would like to tell their stories and have an open discussion, please contact Dirk Pointer on Facebook, email me at regularamazingpeople@gmail.com, or look up RapRegular on Twitter.


There's a certain magic in the stories of people you might pass on the street, each one carrying a universe of experience. RAP-Regular Amazing People is built on the belief that extraordinary narratives are found in everyday lives. Hosted by RegAmazePeeps, this podcast sits down with individuals from all walks of life to explore the rich, unscripted tapestry of human existence. Each conversation delves into personal histories marked by quiet resilience, unexpected joy, profound challenges, and simple moments that define us. Rather than seeking out celebrities, the focus remains on authentic voices and genuine reflections. Tuning in, you'll hear intimate discussions that feel more like a thoughtful chat with a friend than a formal interview. The podcast naturally explores themes of society and culture through a documentary-style lens, capturing the raw and real. It’s an invitation to lean in and listen closely, to find connection in the shared threads of our struggles and triumphs. Through these regular, amazing people, we are reminded of the depth and complexity inherent in every single life story.
