This week we are talking to Power Plays sports reporter Lindsay Gibbs about the promising albeit volatile state of women’s sports and then to Kevin Powell about his experience at Kobe Bryant’s memorial service at the Staples Center.

We also have a Kaepernick Watch about two volleyball players who took a knee for Palestine. And this week I read a poem! By Kevin Powell!
