About the show

Too often, history is written by the powerful, leaving entire communities, cultures, and truths out of the dominant narrative.

The conversations span politics, world history, philosophy, and culture, always with an eye toward justice and a deeper understanding of where we've been, where we are, and where we are heading. This is the official podcast of Dr. Roy Casagranda and Sekhmet Liminal Productions, FZCO.
