Black Lives, White Lies

As a listener, I appreciated Cullins' measured, almost conversational tone, which helps to temper the sometimes-heavy subject matter. He navigates Akins' dense research with ease, making even the most academic passages accessible. However, I found myself wishing for a bit more emotional range, particularly when Akins shares personal stories. Additionally, while the production quality is solid, there are a few instances where background noise briefly intrudes. Despite these minor critiques, 'Black Lives, White Lies' is an invaluable listen, offering a nuanced, unapologetic look at race in America that's both enlightening and unsettling. It's not always comfortable, but it's always compelling.
