Jhavia Nicole, host of the amazing Black Radical Queer Podcast (@blkradqwr) is someone who I've known since we were both high schoolers back in Atlanta. So, it's fitting that with the guest I've known the longest, we'd stretch all the way back to childhood programming and talk PBS Kids, specifically "Arthur," "Zoom," and "Wishbone." We discuss how Jhavia, who much preferred getting lost in books as a kid found PBS as an entry point into television. We also talk Black and Brown comic book/sci-fi nerd kids (and how they aren't rare), Ghostwriter, the importance of LGBTQ+ representation in children's media and just where the hell were the parents on the Sweet Valley High TV show? This episode's a fun one.
