    On today's episode, we are featuring two of our favorite interviews from earlier this year!

    1. First, we dust off our roundtable conversation with television writer Alanna Bennett about how we should handle TV shows and movies that have used blackface in their past, like removing them from streaming services altogether.

    2. And then we look back at our chat with Bleacher Report’s Master Tesfatsion on why the Chicago Bulls/Michael Jordan docuseries The Last Dance resonated so hard with audiences.
