aflevering Gang, Gang: When Community Organizing Gets Criminalized — and Power Gets a Pass artwork

Gang, Gang: When Community Organizing Gets Criminalized — and Power Gets a Pass

In this episode of 3rd Rail we trace the history of gangs, community-defense movements, and state power in the U.S. — from the Black Panthers, Young Lords, and MOVE to modern-day ICE. We explore how Black and brown liberation groups were surveilled, dismantled, and branded as “criminals,” while government forces often operate with authority and immunity. We also leave listeners with breadcrumbs on how to demand more when they protest — and reminders that protest is only one form of resistance. Power shifts in many ways, not just in the streets.

aflevering Game Changers: Costs, Access, and the Future of Youth Sports artwork

Game Changers: Costs, Access, and the Future of Youth Sports

In this episode of 3rd Rail, we dive into the shifting landscape of youth sports and ask the hard questions: Who gets to play, who gets paid, and who gets left behind? From the skyrocketing costs of youth sports to the impact of NIL deals, we explore how access to athletics has become increasingly unequal—and what that means for the next generation of athletes. We tackle inclusion of trans athletes and why playing sports has become a privilege rather than a right of childhood. And yes, we also talk Bad Bunny headlining the next Super Bowl halftime show—because culture, sports, and politics are always connected. If you care about sports, equity, or the future of youth athletics, this conversation is for you. Got a Question for 3rd Rail? We’re cooking up a special Q&A episode, and we want to hear from YOU.
