Flor de Oliva Gold: Sparked (Book Review, Part 1)
In this episode of Nice Ashes, hosts Nate and Mike dive into the complexities of race and the impact of George Floyd’s legacy in their review of the book Sparked: George Floyd, Racism, and the Progressive Illusion. As they light up a Flor de Oliva Gold cigar—distinctly lighter than the Maduro—they engage in a candid conversation about the book's essays written by elites discussing race relations in Minnesota.
With humorous banter and critical analysis, Nate and Mike dissect various essays that tackle topics from police encounters to systemic inequality, with both hosts sharing their contrasting views on the authors’ perspectives. Expect in-depth discussions on what it means to navigate conversations about race as white men and the challenges of addressing sensitive social issues in contemporary America.
As they progress through the essays, the duo blends personal anecdotes with deeper reflections on societal structures while alluding to their experiences with cigars that range from mundane to occasionally disappointing. Tune in for part one of this engaging examination of Sparked, and brace yourself for a thought-provoking exploration of race, privilege, and personal responsibility, accompanied by a light-hearted discussion of their accompanying cigar.
Join them next week for part two, where they promise more insights and maybe a bit of flame.
