June Recap: The Episodes That Hit Hardest & Everything Coming In Q3 & Q4

June on Past Present Pushback was something different. We covered the origin of Memorial Day — and the freed Black people who actually started it. We went deep on the Black Panther Party, Provident Hospital, and Red Summer. We talked about Marvin Gaye the man, not just the music. We covered Juneteenth, Father's Day, and Mother's Day — the real histories behind holidays most people celebrate without knowing where they came from. We did a Weekend Special on Karmelo Anthony and Cyrus Carmack-Belton. We broke down America's debt crisis. And we did a two-part deep dive into the scientific origin of the human race. In this recap episode, XO sits down with AZ and CDA for an open conversation — what landed, what surprised them, which episode was their favorite and least favorite, what they're still thinking about, and what they want the audience to reflect on before we move into Q3 and Q4.
