Your Black Friend

Only one episode in and — wow. On the surface, this podcast felt like I was in the room with Maxwell and Tony. Conversational, comfortable, and on the couch with a cold beer. On a deeper level, this is refreshing, educational, and hard-hitting. It’s eye-opening to hear the firsthand experiences of being Black in America, down to what kind of COVID mask feels safer, with the candor of what truly feels like my new Black friends. I listened to this while on a run, but next time might want to take notes — on fear and the vicious cycle around it, how “you might have to drive” and what that says about our society as a whole, and how to “not only being a friend to one person, but to the broader community.” Highly recommend and looking forward to learning from the next guests. Thank you!
