We figured that, if you've followed the news lately, you've probably heard about the recent debacle with the British royal family and the Oprah Winfrey interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This is an expressly anti-royalty podcast, but to discuss the particular dynamics of British racism and the experience of being a Black American woman married to a slightly younger redhead who is kind of a moron and fought in Afghanistan, Cynthia Bethea joins us this week.

For this week's bonus, Francis speaks with defense journalist Oriana Pawlyk about what the Space Force actually is and does -- and the fact that it's not going away, despite it being Trump's signature plaything. Get it on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/48465304
