Alan sits down with Broadway producer Brian Anthony Moreland for a candid, high-energy conversation about the realities of commercial theatre. Brian shares the fascinating story of how he caught the theatre bug playing Santa Claus in the third grade , his formative years at a performing arts boarding school , and his early career as a non-union dancer dealing with the exhausting audition grind in New York City. He opens up about the pivotal moment he decided to pivot to producing, starting with a grueling five-and-a-half-year journey to bring Thoughts of a Colored Man to Broadway. Alan and Brian pull back the curtain on the industry's economic pressures, debating Broadway financials, escalating production costs, and what it truly takes to balance commercial viability with meaningful, artistic storytelling. The conversation centers deeply on Brian's extraordinary relationship with the work of August Wilson. He recalls the serendipitous train ride to Pittsburgh that led to him producing the record-breaking revival of The Piano Lesson , and how Denzel Washington personally asked him to lead-produce his next Wilson project. Brian breaks down the profound themes of identity, healing, and family preservation driving his latest production at the Barrymore Theatre, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, sharing delightful insights into working with legendary director Debbie Allen and the joyful, nurturing energy that stars Taraji P. Henson and Cedric the Entertainer bring to the rehearsal room. Finally, Brian takes on the 60-second plot challenge, pitches a classic musical, and reflects on the timeless power of theatre as a space where you can be anything. Brian Anthony Moreland is a transformative Broadway producer dedicated to shaping the contemporary cultural landscape through visionary, inclusive storytelling. Originally from California, he began his career as a performer before transitioning into producing. His impressive Broadway repertoire includes the ground-breaking global hit Othello starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, the record-breaking revival of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson, The Wiz, The Lifespan of a Fact, Sea Wall / A Life, and The Sound Inside. A respected industry leader, Moreland serves on the Board of Governors of The Broadway League, where he co-chairs the Multicultural Task Force. He also holds leadership roles as a Trustee for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, a Trustee of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, a Board Director for NYC Tourism and Conventions, and is an active member of the Theatre Development Fund (TDF).

On this episode of Black and Snerdy, Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) celebrate Mother's Day with an all-new segment called "This or That: Mother's Day Edition," ranking and debating the greatest Black mothers in pop culture history. They kick things off with a spirited Claire Huxtable vs. Aunt Viv showdown — weighing Phylicia Rashad's groundbreaking prototype against Janet Hubert's cultural backbone — then move to Florida Evans vs. Rochelle Rock, breaking down Esther Rolle's improvised "damn, damn, damn" moment and Tichina Arnold's no-nonsense energy on Everybody Hates Chris. The matchups keep coming as they pit Cookie Lyon against Tasha St. Patrick, with Taraji P. Henson's scenery-chewing Empire reign earning unanimous love, and then tackle a real-life triple threat of Tina Knowles, Donda West, and Afeni Shakur, debating whose motherhood legacy — living or lost — left the deepest imprint on Black culture.The bonus mom round brings Sheryl Lee Ralph's Dee Mitchell from Moesha against Kellita Smith's Wanda from The Bernie Mac Show, sparking a heartfelt conversation about stepparenting and chosen family. Rapid-fire picks fly as they crown favorites between Dr. Lucy Carmichael and Dr. Trudy Proud, Queen Ramonda and Queen Aoleon, Bo Johnson and Miranda Bailey, Lisa Landry and Jay Kyle, and Sugar Mama and Madea — with Angela Bassett Oscar snub discourse, Tracee Ellis Ross appreciation, and a passionate takedown of Tyler Perry's portrayal of Black women all packed in. Before and after the matchups, they also roast Wicked for Good's questionable sequel choices, Michelle Yeoh's singing debut, and Colman Domingo's blink-and-you-miss-it Cowardly Lion, then close out with their Big Mad and Big Happy segments rounding out a stacked Mother's Day celebration.

Jamilah Lemieux is a writer, cultural critic, and — officially, loudly, and necessarily — a published author. Her debut book, Black. Single. Mother.: Real Life Tales of Longing and Belonging, dropped in March 2026, and it is already doing exactly what the best books do: making people uncomfortable in the most clarifying ways.In this conversation, Jamilah and I go deep. We talk about what Aunt Toni Morrison taught us about writing the books we need—and what it means to actually do it. We trace the wreckage of the 1965 Moynihan Report, the myth of the absentee Black father, and the way respectability politics decides which single Black mothers this culture chooses to celebrate and which ones it chooses to punish. We talk about Nia Long, Taraji P. Henson, and Cardi B. We talk about the African ancestral village and why every-other-weekend is not enough. And we talk about what it costs all of us—not just women—when we fail to love one another fully.This is one of those episodes you share. With the single mothers in your life. With the men who need to hear it. With anyone who's ever made an assumption about what a Black family is supposed to look likeThe class is in session.SHOW NOTESResources & ReferencesBlack. Single.

Pop culture chaos, NASA math, and one extremely suspicious "Not a Lesbian" bumper sticker collide in this hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt episode of Put Your Books Down.     Natalie and Angela dive into Hidden Figures and unpack why this powerful film hits so much harder than your average space movie. From NASA history and civil rights to Kevin Costner discourse and accidental feminist manifestos, the hosts balance humorous commentary with real conversations about racism, women's contributions, and the genius of the women behind America's space program.     Along the way, they debate whether Kevin Costner is secretly a rom-com actor, confess their confusion about Star Wars timelines, and give flowers to Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe for delivering unforgettable performances.     If you love TV & film analysis, shared personal stories, and unfiltered pop culture conversations, this episode belongs in your queue immediately.

In this episode, we dig into the 2026 Broadway revival of August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come and Gone, now playing at the Barrymore Theatre. We unpack how the play's boardinghouse setting, character-driven structure, and themes of home, history, and spiritual connection come through in this production. We also look at how the staging uses levels, windows, and movement to frame the characters' journeys. We highlight performances from Taraji P. Henson as Bertha Holly, Cedric “The Entertainer” as Seth Holly, Joshua Boone as Herald Loomis, and Ruben Santiago-Hudson as Bynum Walker, noting moments that stand out and where the production leaves room for more.  Follow and connect with all things @HalfHourPodcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

One of the breakout hits of 2016 was this based-on-a-true-story tale of the first manned missions to outer space. Focusing on the black women at NASA - mathematicians, engineers, and computers - who made these early spaceflights a reality through sheer brainpower while often going unrecognized for their contributions, Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe star in this adaptation of Margot Lee Shetterly's book. Director Theodore Melfi chose Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Parsons, Mahershala Ali, Aldis Hodge, and Glen Powell to round out the cast in this Best Picture Oscar nominee. But does too much melodrama subtract from the sum of this inspirational biopic? In honor of Black History Month, we're doing the math to see if all the accolades tallied by Hidden Figures still add up ten years after release.   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

World renowned choreographer turned actor Darrin Henson joins us for a powerful, culture rich conversation about legacy, purpose, and the Latino influence that helped shape his life and career. Raised in the Bronx, Darrin opens up about growing up alongside Latinos in his neighborhood and how Latino culture, friendships, and community played a lasting and positive role in his upbringing. From early life lessons to lifelong connections, he reflects on the moments that stayed with him and continue to guide him today. Darrin shares behind the scenes stories from working with some of the biggest icons in music history, including Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, and the ultimate GOATs Michael Jackson and Prince. He also opens up about being first cousins with Taraji P. Henson and how talent, faith, and perseverance run deep in his family. One of the most jaw dropping moments of the interview is when Darrin reveals why he walked away from choreography at the height of his career, right after winning a VMA for *NSYNC’s iconic “Bye Bye Bye” routine, a dance he owns as his intellectual property. The very choreography later appeared in the film Deadpool, and for which the production had to properly compensate him for its use. Darrin also breaks down his transition into acting, starring in beloved series like Soul Food and The Family Business, along with his evolution into an author and motivational speaker focused on purpose, ownership, and spiritual alignment. This is a must listen conversation about culture, creativity, faith, and knowing when to pivot.

When a 20-year-old Moscato brand suddenly becomes one of the fastest-growing wines in America, the industry takes notice.In this episode, Bill Terlato, President and CEO of Terlato Wine Group, shares how his fourth-generation family business pulled off one of wine's biggest rebound stories — relaunching Seven Daughters with actress Taraji P. Henson and turning it into a phenomenon with younger consumers.According to Nielsen, Seven Daughters is now the #8 ranked Moscato in the U.S. between $9–15, with over $3.4 million in 2024 sales and on pace to hit nearly $4 million in 2025.

From 800 fans lining up at a Miami retailer to a Times Square takeover, the results speak for themselves.But this episode isn't just about celebrity partnerships.
