George Faison
Class is in session! Questlove Supreme prides itself on bringing you stories from masters of their craft. George Faison's story derives from a time that established and birthed the beauty of diverse Black dance and dancers to provide the foundation for what we see on the world's stage, film, and music videos today. Dancing has remained at the epicenter of his career, but Mr. Faison is also an actor, director, composer, producer, essayist, playwright, and writer who is the first Black choreographer to earn a Tony Award for the original Broadway production of The Wiz. How did that lead him to work with legends like Aretha, Stevie, EWF, and Ashford & Simpson? Listen up!

Customer Reviews
Amazing podcast - great interviews
Questlove is so engaging and really creates an environment where guests open up and provide unique insights into their careers. The guests chosen are so impressive and people who don’t normally open up to the media. Highly recommend!
Drop the lady - she’s an awful interviewer.

Taking up space
You’re very much aware that it’s QL show - he talks a lot and over people and interrupts when people a speaking which is super annoying. He gets a thought when someone is speaking and interrupts them. He also had a tendency to ignore Liaya when she is asking a guest a question or on the rare occasion when she is allowed to speak, he answers the question on behalf of the guest, dismisses her, or asks he’s own question. All of this spoils the show and it’s only good when the guest are allowed to speak freely without QL constant interruptions.
