In this Podcasting Wisdom series of mini episodes, Scott shares  about things he has learned from his 5 years experience as a podcast  host, producer & teacher. Podcasts come in different formats: two of the main formats are informational and conversational. Examples are informational podcasts are education, language and sports podcasts. The best informational podcast in my opinion is We The Unhoused with Theo Henderson. There is an innovative style and pace to his podcast series, which I love. Conversational podcasts are the ones I enjoy most and comedy podcasts are my favorite.

In this episode Scott shares about what he learned in the History of the Black Panther Party course at Portland State University taught by professor Walidah Imarisha, ten years ago. The Black Panther Party for Self Defense was founded on October 15, 1966 by Bobby Seale & Huey P. Newton for the primary purpose of stopping police brutality in African American neighborhoods. In our media we are given a lot of stereotypes about The Black Party, but they were made up mostly of women, they had free breakfast programs for children, literacy programs & free healthcare clinics. They also formed coalitions with other social justice activists groups with many people who were not black. The Black Panther Party existed from 1966 to 1982. Some of the leaders of The Black Panther Party are imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. Along with gushing about his favorite professor Walidah Imarisha, Scott talks a lot about Angela Davis the last person & only woman to lead The Black Panther Party. Angela Davis is one of Scott's biggest inspirations & a powerful activist for the abolition of the prison industrial complex. "All Power to the People." Huey P. Newton   --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/scott-clapson/support
