Michael Eric Dyson is a brilliant public intellectual and a great friend. I love talking with him because he’s genius and because he loves Blackness so deeply. Here we dive into some of the messages in his new book Entertaining Race where he talks about the history of Black Americans being entertainers on every level. We are performative on a celebrity level from music to screen to sports, but we are also amazingly and beautifully performative on every level. Regular Black folks talk and walk and greet each other in ways that are expressive and performative and beautiful. We talk through all of that.Instagram: @toureshowTwitter: @toureToure Show Episode 301Host & Writer: TouréSenior Producer: Jackie GarofanoAssistant Producer: Adell ColemanEditor: Ryan WoodhallPhotographers: Chuck Marcus, Shanta Covington, and Nick KarpBooker: Claudia JeanThe House: DCP Entertainment Learn more about your ad choices.

Tananarive Due understands horror. She’s written it, she’s studied it, she teaches about it at UCLA in a class that has Jordan Peele come by to explain his perspective. There’s something unique about Black horror films like Get Out or Candyman—they’re not usually just a madman going around killing. There’s usually some political angle that relates to the challenge of being Black in America. Tananarive talks about this and much more about the art and science of Black horror films including the work of Jordan Peele.Instagram: @toureshowTwitter: @toureToure Show Episode 299Host & Writer: TouréSenior Producer: Jackie GarofanoAssistant Producer: Adell ColemanEditor: Ryan WoodhallPhotographers: Chuck Marcus, Shanta Covington, and Nick KarpBooker: Claudia JeanThe House: DCP Entertainment Learn more about your ad choices.

Original Air Date: February 19, 2020Original Title: Touré Show Ep 115: Who Killed Malcolm X Now that two men have been exonerated in the murder of Malcolm X, who killed him? Well there’s a Netflix doc that has an answer: “Who Killed Malcolm X” tells us the name of the man who pulled the trigger of the sawed-off shotgun that killed Malcolm, and which Newark mosque he was from. I talk with the directors Rachel Dretzin and Phil Bertelsen about who killed Malcolm and how the American government conspired to kill Malcolm—his top bodyguard at the end was an NYPD infiltrator and informant.Instagram @toureshow.Twitter: @tourePatreon.com/toureshowInstagram: @toureshowTwitter: @toure Learn more about your ad choices.
