    Heroism and Barbarism: From the Front Lines Facing Hamas’ Oct. 7th Attack – Special Episode

    In this special episode of “Straight Ahead: The Omni-American Podcast,” co-hosts Aryeh Tepper and Greg Thomas discuss Hamas’ Oct. 7th assault on Aryeh’s southern Israeli town of Ofaqim. Aryeh shares stories of real-time heroism from his family and community and provides essential information for understanding how the attack fits into the larger regional war between the forces of Islamic tolerance and Islamist intolerance. Tepper and Thomas affirm the values of civilization against barbarism, while Tepper concludes by pointing to the price that Israel's government paid for allowing political loyalty to trump considerations of competence, let alone excellence.

    Race, Heresy, Jazz and Hip Hop with Coleman Hughes – Ep 1

    Our very first guest is writer, podcaster, and musician Coleman Hughes, winner of the 2022 Omni-American Young Leaders Award. We delve into Coleman’s upbringing and education, and how music and ideas inspire his work and thought.  Specifically, we discuss race and American identity; the conundrum of gender identity being more flexible than racial identity among academics and activists; the imperative of heresy and Plato's cave as a model for liberation from the shadow of race; and—since Coleman is a jazz trombonist and a hip hop MC—the interrelationship between jazz music and hip hop.  Straight Ahead is supported by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM).
