The Honesty Critic

I wouldn’t be able to write in words how James Baldwin changed my life. And as we go through this time in America, I have been yearning to hear his words now more than ever. So I stumbled upon this podcast. And it is a great one. Also, there is a bookstore dedicated to Baldwin in New Orleans. Definitely check it out!!

Six episodes talking to people who met Baldwin, know his work, are writers and critics themselves…offers a depth and level of reflection I didn’t know I needed. He was such a man of his time, and a tormented soul of his century, and he grappled with so much, long before the shortcuts of our recent generations of slogans. He returned to be such a worthy, striving public figure at such a critical time - these shows have been a good tribute, and both balm and inspiration in these crazy, noisy, divided, sometimes nonsensical times of our own.
Biased garbage…

Once again you guys knocked it out the park. Thank you for an insightful, educating and enlightening experience. As a native New Orleanian I appreciate this perspective on Pops. October 31st Arab American vote report These people (Arabs) are so confused which reflects the state of the situation in the Middle East. If you feel you have no voice, then don’t vote, because that is better than voting for someone who initiated an Arab ban. This rationale is irrational. Let’s not be STUPID about this.
