In this special Black History Month episode of Curious & Inspired, we explore the painful but familiar cycle of stolen ideas — and what it means to be a Black creator in the age of algorithms and AI. From Chuck Berry to Dapper Dan, to viral posts repackaged by louder platforms, host Matt Vandrick shares a powerful monologue on why to be great is to be stolen from — and how to turn that frustration into fuel.

Featuring stories on ChatBlackGPT, the Spill app, and Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy domination, this episode connects history, culture, and technology in a way only Curious & Inspired can.
