Rejected Before the Interview; When Justice Becomes a Question of Human Rights

Errol Minor opens a powerful show confronting discrimination, accountability, justice, and the growing threats to human dignity. Tay Akins sets the tone with Tea With Tay, followed by David Marshall’s Marshall Minute. The conversation then turns to “Rejected Before the Interview,” examining how artificial intelligence, algorithms, names, ZIP codes, and hidden biases can determine who gets a job opportunity before a human ever reviews an application. Timmia Wiley follows with a special Union Buster of the Week, celebrating a major victory for organized labor and the workers who refused to back down. The entire team then tackles “From Free Speech to Foolishness,” exploring how hateful rhetoric, division, and reckless language can create dangerous real-world consequences. Finally, “When Justice Becomes a Question of Human Rights” examines the case of Christa Pike, the death penalty, accountability, compassion for victims and their families, and the fundamental question of how society balances punishment with human dignity. It's a show that challenges listeners to think beyond headlines and ask: Are we truly protecting justice, equality, and human rights for everyone, even when the conversations make us uncomfortable?
