On October 13, 2016, CWN Season 2 broadcast for 10 weeks on Tallahassee’s local FOX television affiliate, WTLH. The expansion to television allowed for an expansion in the shows programming. Season 2 features a main segment and 3 mini-segments covering education, entertainment and health. All of the episodes from both seasons may be found on CWN’s Facebook page and YouTube channel.

It seems as if black America has a unhealthy relationship with its leaders. We often allow our emotions to cancel out our critical thinking and become an accomplice in our own demise. Charisma, poise, good looks and the ability to capture the minds of your people does not make you immune from being held accountable. The black community seems to allow certain members to escape responsibility when an emotional attachment is present. Will we truly become as powerful as we can be is we refuse to live in truth? Tune in to see what we have to say.

It is no secret that the laws in America are enforced differently for certian groups of Americans. We live in a society where people are either punished or rewarded differently depending on their gender, race or social status. Some people have the resources and influences to break the law and escape punishment. We have a glaring double standard when it comes to the prevention of violence in this country. Some are protected by the law, some are punished to the fullest extent. When it comes to the prevention of violence, if double standards exist will we truly stop the violence? Is it safe to have double standards when it comes to the prevention of violence? Do double standards really exist? Find out the answers to these questions and more by tuning in.   

Happy New Year!!! Thank you for supporting the Freedom Train Podcast Series!!!!

This episode of the Freedom Train Podcast Series we discussed the constant conflict and confrontations between the "leaders" and educators of the black conscious community. Our focus was holding these leaders accountable for their words and actions, while not losing site of our ultimate goal, black liberation. It seems as if ego's and personal agendas have caused some of our leaders to loose site of our end goal. The problem with the strife and conflict is we are fighting ourselves while white supremacy is still warring against us. How do we fix our situation? Tune in to hear what we have to say about what's going on and more.
