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’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.

Alan Leeds has all the best stories because he’s had all the best jobs. He was James Brown’s manager, then Prince’s manager, then’s D’Angelo’s manager, then Chris Rock’s manager. He writes about working with James and having a front row seat for the Godfather’s incredible career in his great new memoir There Was A Time: James Brown, the Chitlin Circuit and Me. I’ve known Alan forever so we talk about everything—James Brown, Prince, D’Angelo, Chris Rock. Who they were and how it was each of them changed the culture.

Cyntoia Brown is the subject of a powerful new Netflix doc Murder To Mercy: The Cyntoia Brown Story. She was a teenage prostitute who was convicted of murder when she was 15 but years later it became clear that she wasn’t a predator, she was a victim. She did 15 years of a life sentence for murder before her sentence was commuted. Back in October of 2019, a few months after she got out of prison, we spoke about her heartbreaking story, how she ended up in prison, and how she managed her time, and how she got out. It’s an incredibly powerful story. Instagram @toureshow. Twitter: @toure Patreon: See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.
