TMBS 49 ReAir: Mandela Vs Israel's Jim Crow ft. Mehrsa Baradaran

The TMBS ReAir project was created to give people who discovered Michael's work towards the end of his life or after his passing a weekly place to access his work without feeling overwhelmed by the volume of content they missed, as well as continuing to give grieving friends, family and fans their Tuesday evenings with Michael. While the majority of the content and analysis on TMBS has stayed relevant and timeless, please remember some of the guest's work and subject matter on the show is very much linked to the time when the show aired.

TMBS 49 aired on July 24th, 2018.

Episode summary: We talk about Israel’s history of apartheid and how the recent law passed in Israel just enshrines its apartheid character.
