The Spark Parade - Pausing for now

Pausing for now

06/10/20 • 3 min

The Spark Parade
So... there's no new episode this week. In light of the massive global protests against police brutality sparked by the murder of George Floyd, I'm going to pause the show for a while. If you're protesting, please stay as safe as you can and look out for your fellow protesters. Love and solidarity. #blacklivesmatter

Babak Ganjei Loves David Berman/Mike Kelley

The new episode is out today featuring my conversation with the brilliant artist Babak Ganjei about his love for musician David Berman and artist Mike Kelley. It's a really lovely conversation, but self-promotion feels preposterous right now. If you're protesting, you have my love and solidarity. Please stay safe and look out for one another.

Stories Of Black Womanhood: An American Marriage and Girl, Woman, Other

This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with award-winning lawyer, podcaster and creative Raifa Rafiq about two novels written by black women: Tayari Jones' An American Marriage and Bernardine Evaristo's Girl, Woman, Other. We dig into the heavier themes of both novels (racism in policing, racial profiling, grief, homophobia) and also luxuriate in the joy of reading stories about black love, both romantic and platonic.
