Our curated selection of reviews
Every time I listen to this podcast, I’m reminded of just how rich and powerful our stories are. Each episode feels like opening a living archive of Black legends—voices that shaped culture, broke boundaries, and left fingerprints on history. I find myself replaying episodes because there’s always another gem to catch.
Lena Waithe treats every guest with such reverence and ease, giving these giants the space to be fully seen in their brilliance and in their humanity.
If anything, I just wish each conversation lasted longer. But what a gift this show is. Thank you, Lena.

Lena Waithe knows when to talk and ask questions and when to let her guests talk.
One of the few podcasts where the host doesn’t make it about them. Which tells us so much about her as a person and allows us to really hear the guests.

Your interview style is so insightful and informative. I love the way that you ask questions based off of movies that we love parts of their lives that were turning points, and I just appreciate and love listening to your podcast.

Loving the show so far! Great guests and great conversations. My only critique would be is I wish the episodes were longer, especially given the breadth of the guests’ careers.
