It's not easy to adapt a classic of contemporary literature into an epic TV series, but that's exactly what Selwyn Seyfu Hinds has done with “Washington Black,” the Booker Prize-shortlisted novel by Canadian author Esi Edugyan. Set in a steampunk reimagining of the 19th century, the story follows a young boy named George Washington Black who is born on a Barbados sugar plantation. His globetrotting travels take him on a journey around the world, including Virginia, Halifax, and even the Arctic. For this project, Selwyn wore many hats, including creator, executive producer and showrunner. He joins guest host Garvia Bailey to tell us how “Washington Black” mirrors his own journey as a Guyanese immigrant, and how the theme of resistance was his guiding North Star to making the novel shine on screen.

Our next guest is the composer behind the brand new HULU limited series Washington Black which features a score recorded at the Fox Scoring Stage. He is honestly one of the most talented composers I know who has also written additional music on Michael Abel's team for projects including Nope and Star Wars show The Acolyte. I'm so excited to welcome him on to the podcast.And the composer is... Cameron Moody Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

July has been an absolute blast on Interludes Extra Presents Talk on Tuesdays! We love reviewing TV series that are not only thought-provoking but totally binge-worthy—and this week was no exception. In this episode, lifted straight from our weekly live show recorded earlier this week, Val “The Voice” Johnson and Coach Tony Thompson dive into Hulu's incredible 8-episode limited series, Washington Black. Val has finished the entire series, and trust us—you'll want to add it to your watchlist, especially if you're a history buff like Coach Tony. But that's not all—we also celebrated Coach Tony's birthday (a day early!) with good vibes and great conversation. Plus, we couldn't resist talking about Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour and the jaw-dropping stats behind this cultural phenomenon.

Nach unserer Sommerpause geht es in Folge 72 "Och eine noch! Der Fernseh-Podcast" auf ganz große Kino- und Serienweltreise. Jan und Eric sprechen über die Doku "Der weiße Hai: Die Geschichte hinter dem Blockbuster" bei Disney. Steven Spielberg brachte den Film vor genau 50 Jahren ins Kino. Es folgt noch mehr Küste: Jason Momoas historische Serie "Chief of War" erzählt die Entstehung des Königreiches Hawaii bei Apple. Dann unser Geheimtipp, die israelische Serie "The German" mit Oliver Masucci bei Magenta über Biografien im und kurz nach dem Holocaust. Schließlich ringt Jan mit der niederländischen Krebs-Dramedy "Don't Fall, Dance" (ZDF Mediathek), die Eric ziemlich gut findet. Zum Schluss noch ein paar kürzere Empfehlungen und Warnungen für euch: Es geht um die Komödienserie "Rembetis - Die Geisterjäger" (ZDF Mediathek), den beeindruckenden Dokumentarfilm "Das Srebrenica Tape (ARD-Mediathek) und die dazu passende serbische Politthriller-Serie "Das Attentat - Geheimoperation Belgrad“ (ARTE-Mediathek). Ganz am Ende reden Jan und Eric über den kühnen Genremix der Serie "Washington Black", eine amerikanische Historien-Abenteuer-Rassismus-Serie nach einem Booker Prize nominierten Roman (Disney).

Nach einer krankheitsbedingten Pause in der letzten Woche sind wir wieder zurück und haben eine Menge im Gepäck für Euch. Zum Auftakt sprechen Holger, Michael und Rüdiger über Apples neuen Historienknaller "Chief of War" (5:43) in dem Jason Momoa im Stil von Mel Gibsons "Apocalypto" die blutige Geschichte seiner Heimat Hawaii aufdröselt. Die Serie bietet nicht nur - in den Worten von Holger - die meisten Männer-Schinken der Seriengeschichte sondern auch überraschend starke Frauenrollen und jede Menge spektakuläre Landschaftsaufnahmen (von Neuseeland), aber gehtt das Drama auf? Danach geht es nach langer Zeit mal wieder um eine Magenta-Serie. "The German" (39:36) mit Oliver Masucci erzählt wie ein Jude, der das KZ überlebt hat, sich Anfang der 1970er bei SS-Nostalgikern einschleicht um herauszufinden wo sich KZ-Arzt Mengele befindet. Im Anschluss kommt Roland dazu, um über "Washington Black" (57:18) bei Disney+ zu reden. Macht es Sinn Abenteuergeschichte, Sklavereidrama und Steampunk-Science-fiction zu einem wilden Mix zu verquirlen? Und richtig wild wird die Diskussion schließlich bei "Cat's Eyes" (1:20:04), einer ZDFneo Serie aus Frankreich, die den Anime "Ein Supertrio" neu verfilmt, denn die "Lupin"-Variante mit drei Schwestern hat drei von uns sehr gefallen und den vierten ein wenig auf die Palme gebracht. Cold-Open-Frage: "Wer sollte Agatha Christie in der BBC-Serie ,The Detection Club' spielen?"

Die Verfilmung des Erfolgsromans "Washington Black" ist als Miniserie neu verfügbar auf Disney+.

"Roots," which debuted in 1977 and had several spinoffs, is the most notable dramatic miniseries to tackle the topic of slavery. Now, Hulu hopes for similar success with "Washington Black," a drama based on the novel of the same name that traces the life of a boy from Barbados to Nova Scotia in the 1800s.  "This is Us" star Sterling K. Brown is a producer on the project and also co-stars as Medwin Harris. Ernest Kingsley Jr. plays George Washington Black, while Eddie Karanja plays the younger version of the character. In this episode, here from Kranja, who recently spoke with co-host Bruce Miller. We also chat about a new reality show "Back to the Frontier" as well as briefly discuss Universal's disappointing new theme park. About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. The show was named Best Podcast in the 2025 Iowa Better Newspaper Contest. Theme music Thunder City by Lunareh, used under license from Soundstripe. YouTube clearance: FV694ULMCJQDG0IY

On today's episode, I talk to writer and showrunner Selwyn Seyfu Hinds. Originally from Georgetown, Guyana, Selwyn and his family moved to Brooklyn in the 1980s, when he was 14-years-old. After graduating from Princeton, he began writing for The Village Voice. Then in the late 1990s, he became a hip-hop critic and then editor-in-chief at The Source magazine. As a TV writer, Selwyn wrote for Jordan Peele's Twilight Zone reboot and most recently created and showran the new Hulu show Washington Black, based on Esi Edugyan's novel of the same name, and all episodes drop next Wednesday!

For Sterling K. Brown, part of the appeal of producing and starring in Hulu's Washington Black (July 23) was mentoring Ernest Kingsley Jr., the young actor playing the title character. “If I'm in a position where I can help somebody get an opportunity to do it, that means a lot to me, because your legacy isn't just the work that you do, it's the opportunities that you create for other people,” Brown said. Based on the bestselling novel, Kingsley plays George Washington “Wash” Black, a young boy who escapes slavery and, through his scientific mind, sets off an unexpected adventure. Brown plays Medwin, whose life intersects with Wash. “It seems most Black stories that are for mainstream consumption have to do with Black pain, have to do with Black trauma,” Brown said. “So I thought, how awesome would it be to take this historical context but to still illuminate, [and] highlight, joy, hope, faith, love, etc.” And for Kingsley, the story has broad appeal—“that universal story of us going through that harrowing narrative and pain in our past and triumphing over it.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Selwyn Seyfu Hinds describes himself as a storyteller who believes success is a group effort. So when Datwon Thomas recalled his most influential mentor, it was Hinds who came to mind because he took an interest in the aspiring journalist when he needed it most. He was a force Datwon admired for creating magazines, books, comics, scripts that moved people. He was a big brother who shared the life lessons a young Black man in Brooklyn needed. He was a sage that Datwon called … a flashlight who revealed the things he could not see. Hinds is a Guyana-born journalist who chronicled the rise of Hip Hop in the '90s as the editor-in-chief of its bible, The Source and later in his memoir “Gunshots In My Cookup”. Selwyn graduated Princeton and went on to become an American screenwriter, comic book creator and film producer -- just a few of his credits include Jordan Peele's reboot of "The Twilight Zone" and executive producer of Hulu's new series “Washington Black” due out in 2023. So let's meet the man who changed Datwon's life by being “a really, really good person who stayed on me, but gave me space”.

A conversation with showrunner and executive producer Selwyn Seyfu Hinds about the production of Washington Black - the tv series based on Esi Edugyen's acclaimed novel. It's been shot on locations around Nova Scotia, following the route of the main character... a boy who runs away from a plantation on Barbados and becomes a globetrotting scientist, inventor and artist.

With her guest Nele Sawallisch, Stefanie discusses Esi Edugyan's 2018 novel Washington Black. With Olaudah Equiano's 1789 autobiography as intertext, the novel entangles the adventure story with the slave narrative. As Washington Black travels from Barbados to the Arctic, from Virginia to London, his narrative asks about the (hi)stories that remain out of the light and the making of 19th century discoverer personas against the backdrop of gratuitous black labor.

In this introduction to the novel Washington Black, discover what the book is about and why Olympian and 2SLGBTQ advocate Mark Tewksbury chose it for Canada Reads 2022.

Rebecca and Tara have *the best time* chatting with Mark Tewksbury about his defense of Washington Black by Esi Edugyan for the 2022 CBC's Canada Reads debate which airs March 28-31. Mark is a leader, an advocate, an Olympic gold medalist, and a motivational speaker to name just a few of his many talents and successes.  With insight, passion, and laughter, he challenges Rebecca and Tara to rethink this year's winner, and they conclude that he may just have what it takes to take home the "gold"! The debates are hosted by Ali Hassan and available on CBC Radio One, CBC TV, CBC Gem and on CBC Books. https://www.marktewksbury.org/ Instagram and Twitter: @marktewks

Stories are a powerful tool to resist oppressive situations. They give writers from marginalized communities a way to imagine alternate realities, and to critique the one we live in. In this episode, Vinita speaks to two storytellers who offer up wonderous “otherworlds” for Indigenous and Black people. Selwyn Seyfu Hinds is an L.A-based screenwriter who wrote for Jordan Peele's The Twilight Zone and is currently writing the screenplay for Esi Edugyan's Washington Black. Daniel Heath Justice is professor and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous literature and expressive culture at the University of British Columbia.Show notes: https://theconversation.com/how-stories-about-alternate-worlds-can-help-us-imagine-a-better-future-dont-call-me-resilient-ep-7-165933Transcript: https://theconversation.com/how-stories-about-alternate-worlds-can-help-us-imagine-a-better-future-dont-call-me-resilient-ep-7-transcript-167520Related article: Afrofuturism and its possibility of elsewhere: The power of political imagination: https://theconversation.com/afrofuturism-and-its-possibility-of-elsewhere-the-power-of-political-imagination-166002Join The Conversation about this podcast: Use hashtag #DontCallMeResilient and tag us:Twitter: https://twitter.com/ConversationCA  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconversationdotcomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheConversationCanadaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/theconversationcanada/Sign up for our newsletter: https://theconversation.com/ca/newsletters/Contact us: theculturedesk@theconversation.comPromo at beginning of episode: Telling Our Twisted Histories, CBC Podcasts: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/906-telling-our-twisted-histories
