I found this podcast really interesting.  It talked about a lot of really interesting points and I thought it was cool how they were interviewing different people who have different experiences.  All the people they talked to were all minority groups who had to stick up for their beliefs or what they wanted.  A lot of it was also talking about how they were sticking up and how they were experiencing a lot of backlash from the community.  There is always risk in what they are doing.  For example, the first person hadn't told her family about her sexuality and they might figure it out because of the podcast that she did.  Another person was talking about how racism was affecting her life and about how 9/11 didn't start the racism, it just made it more noticeable.  I thought it was a really good podcast, but at the same time I thought it was too long.  It seems to just be repeating ideas and I found that kind of boring.  I would give this podcast a 3 out of 5.
