Hey folks, Emmanuel here.

We're hard at work on a new episode for you.

That will be out next week.

But in the meantime, I just wanted to drop in and tell you about a new show that some

of my colleagues at Gimler have been working on.

It's called Stuck with Damon Young.

If Damon's name sounds familiar to you, he's an award-winning writer and author who I really

love because he is just so brutally honest and funny about race, religion, and so many

other things.

And he brings a lot of that to this new show.

He has all these conversations with a lot of really smart people about issues that are

often really difficult to pass.

This show comes out every Tuesday and you can find it on Spotify.

We're going to feature an episode of the show on our free this week.

It's about what being on the internet, especially if your public figure does to your sense

of self, specifically about what it's like to be a black public figure on the internet.

In his episode, Damon explores the weight of being a member of so-called Blue Check Black

Twitter with Jamel Hill and then he talks to one very online couple, Joel Anderson and

Jean-Aid Desmond Harris about the politics of defending yourself and the ones you love

online.

I hope you enjoy it.

We'll be back with that episode right after the break.
