Customer Reviews
Great podcast
I really enjoy this podcast and the people Jamil has on as guests are highly educated.
Timely and smart
Such a great podcast - Jamil is a gracious host and the topics are of the moment. So important to have smart conversation on race, politics, body image - loved that one in particular! - and everything else this show decides to focus on.
Sad to see you go
I loved that you were able to put these types of conversations into the atmosphere. These are the necessary discussions that lead to understanding. I will never forget the interview you did with Tamir Rice's grandmother. It moved me. What am I saying? Every single episode did. I pray that someone else or even you in your new endeavor can continue carrying this mantle of positive discussion of what truly makes us up as whole and complete people. Do well my brotha.
