Hey folks, this is Kevin. On this week's episode of Risk, you'll hear Ray Christian.

Hey folks, this is Ray Christian. On today's episode, you'll hear Brian Russell.

Throughout all this, as we finally started to the climax, I'm like, what did I do?

And I really just want to go like, what kind of forever?

That and more. But before that, folks, if you're wondering if this might be another guest-tosted

episode of Risk, you bet your sweet ass it is. Ray Christian and I are looking right at each other

on our computer screens right now. How you doing, Ray? I am doing marvelous 3,000 feet above sea level.

How things going down there in a big city? Oh my god. People might not know. Ray is up in the mountains.

And Ray is a farmer with goats outside the window tonight. Yes, Ray. The goats are outside the

window right now. Letting me know that they know I am here and they want to eat, man.

You can't hide. You can't hide in that. We here. You don't have that in New York, man?

No, all I have is a little feline friend who's doing nothing but napping right next to me.

Well, tell you Ray, I'm so excited about this particular episode. I wanted you to host it

because it's the fifth episode in our Black Lives series. Now, of course, you know, we've had

lots of stories by Black folks on the show over the years, but the ones in the Black Lives series

are the ones where being Black is what the story is about. And you have told some of the

all-time classics that are in that vein on risk before. And I also wanted everyone to know that

there's a lot more of those amazing kind of stories on your podcast. What's Ray saying?

Oh, yeah, that's right, Kevin. I try to use history, storytelling, and commentary to explore the

Black experience from a unique perspective. Sometimes the story is bigger than you. And sometimes

so big, it just demonstrates how we connect to each other. That's beautiful. So don't forget that

title, folks. You can search for it on your podcast player. You got to go check out what's Ray saying.
