Show Notes
Akilah Hughes is a writer, actor, author, and podcast host who joins Joshua to talk about how they both re-read “The Great Gatsby” after high school and enjoyed it a lot more when there wasn’t a test involved. They discuss her memoir “Obviously” and the evolution of her feelings toward it five years after its publishing and the tragic loss of her collaborator on it. Also covered are the impactful books of her adulthood, delving into everything including James Baldwin’s “The Fire Next Time” to the Bojack Horseman creator’s book (Raphael Bob Waksberg) “Someone Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory” and David Graeber’s “Debt: The First Five Thousand Years” which made Joshua feel a lot better about his credit score!
