Legacy Talk with Lena Waithe - Podcast Rankings and reviews

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.

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.

Awesome Interview and Podcast.
African Americans have had to struggle so long to get positions they are well qualified for. Although we know this, but when I listened to Debbie Allen say how long it took her to find work and how she was denied the opportunity to produce by a producer who had no scheme of reference for the topic he was creating was disheartening to hear. I’m sure this scenario happens a lot, but the pain of being dismissed due to the threat of not wanting to hire her level of talent/excellence (espy with her having so many accomplishments under her belt) was just another example of the racism and discrimination that is still happening to so many African Americans in this country. So, like Debbie said, “We need each other. All of us.”

As a podcaster and writer myself I love being able to hear different stories from the writers and creatives behind the scenes. Looking forward to new episodes.
