THE EZRA KLEIN SHOW: WHY TA-NEHISI COATES IS HOPEFUL - Winner of the 2020 Webby and People's Voice awards for best interview podcast. Ezra Klein brings you far-reaching conversations about hard problems, big ideas, illuminating theories, and cutting-edge research. This is his interview with National Book Award-winner Ta-Nehisi Coates. 

They talk about hope and discuss how this moment differs from 1968, the tension between “law” and “order,” the contested legacy of MLK, Trump's view of the presidency, police abolition, why we need to renegotiate the idea of “the public,” how the consensus on criminal justice has shifted, what Joe Biden represents, the proper role of the state, how we conceptualize the role of violence in movements, the poetry Coates recommends, and much more.
