Eddie Glaude is one of those brilliant intellectuals who makes the life of the mind seem cool. He’s an MSNBC star, a Princeton professor, and the author of Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own which mines Baldwin’s work for modern lessons. I’m a huge fan of Baldwin’s and a big fan of Glaude’s so this was a real treat.

Joy Reid’s ascension to MSNBC's vaunted 7pm weekday time slot makes her one of the few Black women to ever host a prime time news show so we had to dig into the archive and replay our interview from 2018. She digs into how she handles Trump surrogates on TV, how she dealt with getting fired while on the air, and how she survived the death of her mother just before she was set to go to Harvard. She’s an extraordinary person who’s both brilliant and hard working and I’m proud to call her a friend. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dear White People is one of the hottest shows on TV right now and the mind behind it is the brilliant Justin Simien. We do a deep dive into the themes and messages of the show in which I find out that Dear White People, a show I adore, was partly inspired by my 2012 book “Who’s Afraid of Post-Blackness, What It Means To Be Black Now.” This originally aired in April.

Bakari Sellers is one of the best political analysts out right now partly because he’s brilliant and partly he’s been inside the process—he was in the South Carolina House of Representatives. That gives him an insight that many others in cable news lack. He’s a longtime CNN analyst and now the author of My Vanishing Country about the forgotten Black people of the South. Fascinating conversation.

As the Black Lives Matter movement explodes in popularity, it’s a good time to revisit my 2018 interview with Patrisse Cullors, one of the founders of BLM. She talks about her memoir, When They Call You A Terrorist, and how the police traumatized her as a child.
