***This episode was recorded on August 12th. We're sorry that we couldn't get it out last week but here it is!

 We discuss the correct pronunciation of Mahalia Jackson (the l is not silent) and Jill Scott starring in a movie about her life. There is a dramatic remake of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air coming out, it's the brainchild Morgan Cooper, who released the trailer that went viral last year, and we discuss WAP! We interview our very first guest, the multi-talented and award-winning actor, writer, director, and producer Eric Lockley. He discusses everything from winning amateur night at the Apollo to how he created a space for black stories to be told and produced by black people and so much more. We also give out our BAF and GAF Awards and end with a peek behind the curtain. Listen and Share.
