Our latest A Radio Geekly show didn't go the way we had planned and we want to apologize to our listeners for how we handled things. Long story short, we let a racist discussion go out on air without confronting it (or realizing it initially). Also, this all happened during a show titled, "POC Gatekeeping."
 

Hosts JustJess and Jenna sit down and talk about the confusion behind the scenes that our listeners didn't hear during our live radio show, what exactly was so problematic/confusing about the incident, what they wish they had done instead of freezing, what they've learned from it all, and apologize for not taking better care of our listening audience. Listen along for an interesting and honest discussion about that moment when race, geekdom, and reality collide live on air.
