On this episode of The Dead Icons Podcast we dive deep into the life of one of the most controversial leaders of the civil rights movement to his followers Malik El Shabazz was an almost messianic figure. Someone who stood up to and fought back against the bitter hatred and oppression faced by the African American community. To his detractors he was a figure who promoted hate and further aggravated racial tensions within the US, which were already teetering on the brink of implosion. As a reformed hustler and pimp he brought his fiery brand of black love and self-defence to the masses with the Black extremist organisation known as The Nation of Islam providing the pulpit.

To decide whether or not he deserves to be remembered as an icon Sean is joined by the host of the Engaging with Eric podcast and the co-host of the Political InCorrectors podcast Eric Ehigie.

On this episode of The Dead Icons Podcast we talk about one of the most influential figures in Irish history and take a deep look at the life of the big fella, Michael Collins. Was he truly the national martyr we make him out to be or was he on the path towards becoming a dictator? Did his political opponents conspire to murder him or was he found out for not having the military expertise that many of the books and films on his life would have you believe? And is there any weight in the claims about his sexual orientation? Sean is joined on this episode by one half of the Political inCorrectors podcast Luke Casserly.
