This week continues one of Mike’s favourite chats; he is joined by the powerhouse of people that form the amazing In The Black Podcast; Big O (Mr In The Black himself), Phil (The Orange-Krush) and Elgin Bailey (El Boogie) for an informed & intelligent conversation regarding black issues, podcasting & more!

This week is part 2 of their chat and their discussion on Black Panther continues, going into representation, diversity & stereotyping before delving into the influence of people in power in the current social zeitgeist, the differences in the UK & USA’s views on racism & immigration, Idris Elba and Daryl Davis are discussed and near the end Big O, Phil & Ell all give their stances on the future for Black America and potential reparations, bringing a great end to this powerful podcast.

In case you missed it, part 1 of their chat begins with Big O explaining why him & Phil started the In The Black Podcast followed by a dive into “the talk” (not the birds & the bees) that black parents give to their children about interacting with certain types of people & authority figures, they then discuss black identity, the importance of heritage in the black world, the value of black history month as well as In The Black’s collective view on Terry Crews, representation in the media and much more, so check that out if you haven’t already!
