This week, we're bringing you our wide-ranging conversation with the one and only LeVar Burton.  He tells us the life lesson he learned from Dr. Maya Angelou while working on Roots, what he wishes he could say to Star Trek writers about his character Geordi La Forge, and how his love of reading led him to Reading Rainbow in the past, and his new podcast Levar Burton Reads in the present.  Be forewarned: he just might scandalize you when he reveals his hidden talent.  And make sure you listen till the end of the episode - you won't regret it!  Follow LeVar Burton at @levarburton and check out his new podcast, LeVar Burton Reads.  Follow us: @heavenrants and @brokeymcpovertyEmail us: anotherround@buzzfeed.comThis episode features the song "Pipe Dreamz" by Matt Oakley.Subscribe to our newsletter: buzzfeed.com/anotherround/newsletterCheck out our merch! shop.buzzfeed.com

Episode 111: Cream of the Crop (with Dodai Stewart)

With the holiday season comes more awkward conversations with family, so we're bringing you an encore episode of our first ever call-in show where you, dear listeners, share with us how you're talking gender, race, politics, and more with your parents, aunties, in-laws, step-siblings, nephews, and more. And guess what: it's really hard! And messy! And you're not alone! We also got our homie Gene Demby of NPR's Code Switch on the line to talk through the now-public email exchange between Margaret Cho and Tilda Swinton about whitewashed Hollywood roles. It's a vintage beef that highlights the ever-relevant question: when will white folks stop making people of color do undue emotional labor?
