A New Way to Listen!

Here is a new way to listen to the podcast if you are having trouble downloading.

Episode 12 - Bobb Watkins

The amazing thing about technology is that one can capture a moment in time  (or at least as long as the medium holds out) and listen to it over and over again. The voices of those who were close to you are made static and yet, if you pay close attention, you hear different things every time you play it. In 2008, I was fortunate enough to record my father for a school project about folklore artists.  

Dad was a well known figure in the community and one of his main passions was music.  With a collection of thousands of records, tapes and cds, he created elaborate mixed cassette tapes for friends and the community. As a child, I remember watching dad spend hours in the "music room" crafting the perfect mixes and combinations of modern and oldies music. 

If you love music and want to learn more about the art of the mixed tape, this is a must listen.

Episode 11 - Bryan Nance

This week on the show, we have Bryan Nance who is an expert in college admissions and his mission in life is to encourage and support students of color throughout their collegiate journey. We originally recorded an amazing show with him describing his experiences within college admissions, but the recoding got messed up. So, we had to start over! 

For this this podcast we decided to discuss our mutual love of comic books and the current world of super heroes.  We talk about rebooting super hero stories, the appeal of digital books, appropriate comic books for young people, and representations of race.
