My name is Chris Black and along with my illustrious co-host, Jason Stewart, we produce a podcast

called How Long Gone. It comes out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I think you'll like it.

Jason, do you think they'll like it? I think you will maybe like it, maybe not. Sometimes we interview

musicians like Lord or Bonifere, sometimes some comedians like Robbie Hoffman, sometimes some cool chefs like Nancy Silverton.

I'm going to read a couple podcast reviews, real reviews that came on Apple.

Uh-oh, the good ones, right?

Perfecting the dying art of male friendship, amusing mix of fashion culture, fitness,

90s punk ethos, drugs, and sobriety commentary. Premium pod, Chris and Jason, are the duo I never

asked for. I feel too poor to listen sometimes, sure, but the dialogue is hilarious and the adrenaline

I need to start my day. They give me their unapologetic opinions about the culture.

And I often ask myself, what would JCD?

What would Jason and Chris do, I'm assuming?

Subscribe to How Long Gone on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

And hopefully we'll talk to you soon.

Bye.

Hello and welcome to normal gossip.

I'm your host, Rachel Hampton.

And in each episode of this podcast, we're going to bring you an anonymous morsel of gossip from the real world.

Today, I'm just going to get right into it because I'm so excited for today's guest. I have known her for almost a whole decade. She is a writer and editor whose work has appeared in the Hollywood Reporter, The Nation, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. Currently, she is an editor for Hammer and Hope, a magazine of black politics and culture that is so gorgeous, y'all.

We are going to leave a link to Hammer and Hope's website on the show notes so that you can subscribe, and you should.

But without further ado, welcome to the show, Lovia Jacha.

Lovia, hello.
