This episode is hosted by Mario, Trevor and guest co-host Andray Domise. Today we welcome Ishmael Reed. Ishmael Reed is a novelist, poet, playwright, lyricist and essayist and his biography is too extensive to fit in the show notes, but you can go over to https://ishmaelreed.org/drupal/node/1 to read it all. We talk about his new play “The Haunting of Lin Manuel Miranda” (https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/ishmael-reed-haunting-of-lin-manuel-miranda-hamilton-play-review/) and also his other work throughout the years as well as thoughts on Black literature and movements past and present. Malcolm X, James Baldwin, RIchard Wright, and Langston Hughes get mentioned, as well as a litany of underappreciated greats.
