Fear of a Border Planet

Nelson, Ramis, Jomi, & Kerry
Tune in to FEAR OF A BORDER PLANET, where podcast hosts Nelson, Ramis, Jomi, and Kerry go deep on immigrant rights and other stuff we like. We discuss social justice and the terrible state of the law, mostly through the lens of immigration and borders. But before things get too depressing, we veer into discussions about hip-hop music, culture, and our favorite movies. #FightThePower #AbolishICE
