  • Today's Obsession? Motown
    Jul 20 2020

    The power of the music is undeniable on its face but Fritz and Weezy also explore the roll this music has played in the Civil Rights Movement. Berry Gordy was the first black business owner to sell his product to a predominantly white audience. He was not only selling music. He was providing a shared experience which amplified our collective human bond. Music is color blind. It moves us all to tap a foot, bob a shoulder, or dance. It also moves us closer to understanding how similar we really are. We explore great Motown biographies like Dreamgirl: My Life As A Supreme by Mary Wilson, Temptations by Ottis Williams, Inside My Life by Smokey Robinson, the documentary about The Funk Brothers, Standing In The Shadows of Motown and the Showtime documentary, Hitsville: The Making Of Motown.

  • Today's Obsession? Trump/Russia with Michael Isikoff
    Jul 20 2020

    Michael Isikoff is an American investigative journalist, who has worked for the Washington Post, Newsweek and NBC News. He is the author of three New York Times bestsellers including, with David Corn, Russian Roulette. His reporting for this book took him deep inside the Trump/Russia scandal in which unprecedented political chicanery merged the interests of the Republican Party with those of KGB trained Russian Kleptocratic ruler Vladimir Putin. The Russian Roulette narrative lays out a tale of international intrigue, cyber espionage, and superpower rivalry, examining just how Russian spies, hackers and trolls inserted themselves into our political system and swung the 2016 election towards their preferred candidate. The media path through Trump/Russia is long and winding and Michael is here to guide us through it, sharing unique insights and filling us in on the new chapters you will find in the paperback version of his book.
