Hey, this is Sam.

If you enjoy our interviews with writers and artists on Talk Easy, then I'd recommend checking

out the podcast Missing Pages. Hosted by acclaimed literary critic and author Beth Ann Patrick,

Missing Pages investigates the biggest hot button topics in the book world today

with the help of special guests like New York Times Best-Selling author Jody Pekle

and publisher weeklies Jim Miliet.

Produced by the people at the Podglamaret,

Missing Pages explores everything from the insta frame of Colleen Hoover

to the rise of book bands across America to the lucrative culture of non-fiction ghost writing.

As both the Washington Post and the Guardian praise,

missing pages is a must listen.

So if you'd like to check it out, you can follow missing pages on

Apple Podcast or wherever you like to listen. Oh, Hey everyone. Thank you for tuning in to talk easy. I'm your host Sam Virgoso. On the inaugural episode of the

podcast we're excited to have celebrated actor Don Cheetel. And looking at his

I and D. B. His filmography is really kind of astonishing.

I'm not entirely sure how someone can play Bucky Swope and War Machine in the same lifetime.

And yet here we are.

In conversation, he seemed particularly excited to talk about his

directorial debut miles ahead in which he plays the legendary jazz musician Miles Davis to a

tee. The pain, the suffering, the untamable genius, the co-addiction, Cheetal like the

chameleon he is, assumes the role of Davis damn near perfectly. On a technical note, we're going to try to do most of these interviews in person and not over the phone or via Skype.
