Some of My Best Friends Are… is a podcast hosted by Khalil Gibran Muhammad and Ben Austen, two best friends who grew up together on the South Side of Chicago in the 1980s. Today a Harvard professor and an award-winning journalist, Khalil and Ben are still best friends, but they know that interracial friendships aren't going to solve the problems of a deeply divided country. In Some of My Best Friends Are..., Khalil and Ben have real talks about the absurdities and intricacies of race in America. They invite guests -- like Attorney General Eric Holder, Danielle Sered, and Sherman "Dilla" Thomas -- to join critical conversations that are at once personal, political and playful.  Listen now at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/sbfs2?sid=ssnc. 
