Ep. 186 Killer Mike on free speech, racial justice, and Rap on Trial

So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast

Rocking their tuxedos in preparation for the 2023 FIRE gala in New York City, Host Nico Perrino speaks with rapper and free speech advocate Killer Mike about his journey toward learning the value of free expression.

They also discuss the importance of free speech in American history, the value of engaging and arguing with those who disagree with us, why free speech was critical to gaining racial equality, defending rappers and artists being prosecuted for their lyrics, and why polarization is more dangerous than anything anybody can say.

The interview is followed by Killer Mike’s keynote speech.
