Good Lord Bird Companion Podcast

Christy S. Coleman is a museum executive, public historian, and writer. For our hosts, Christy's mile-long resume is intimidating to say the least. Nevertheless, she graciously lent us time to discuss her role as history consultant on Showtime's Good Lord Bird. Andy and Christy discuss her own history, the palpable racial relevance of the show, and everything in between.

Showtime has released the official Trailer for the show and we are pumped. Hear Andy and Trevor discuss the trailer and how much the show might differ from expectations.

On this episode, since Showtime hasn't premiered the actual series, Trevor and Andy discuss John Brown's life story. Twitter: @GoodLordBirdPod
