On this episode of The Popaganda Podcast, Tashmica and Shannon talk with guest Mia Mingus about the post-apocalyptic TV series, The Walking Dead.
Viewers watched in horror as Negan brutally murdered Glen in front of his wife Maggie. None of us knew that we'd be on a Transformative Justice journey with two of the show's most compelling characters up until the final seasons. We watched the drama as characters tried to secure community safety by first recreating policing, jails, and prisons, and then turning towards reformation, and a complex process of accountability and repair.
Tune in now for a conversation about how some fictional apocalypse tales can inspire us to treat everyone - even villains - more humanely.
Come for the pop culture. Stay for the abolition.
