Summary

Today on Episode 36 of Quarantine Radio, we make calls from our Upper West Side apartment to LA to connect with Sean Fennessey, Head of Content for The Ringer and host of The Big Picture podcast, and talk Swizz Beatz and Timbaland, the one Verzuz battle he's waiting for, the future of film distribution, filmmaking and film marketing, the best music documentaries to put on in an effort to bring comfort, the legacy of Jay-Z's Fade to Black and much more. We then phone Brooklyn to speak with 3x New York Times Bestselling Author Mary H.K. Choi about Seth Rogan's kiln, the surprising taste of egg matzo, understanding the relationship between body and brain, missing the beautiful life that existed pre-quarantine, the honesty of FaceTiming, the mixed feelings she has for people from her home state of Texas, controlling what she can control, and so much more. And then we get on the line to Arizona to speak with podcaster/NBA insider/school teacher Travonne Edwards aka Blk Tray to discuss The Last Dance, Michael Jordan's legacy, whether the NBA players can just jump back into action, how he approaches Zoom teaching with his students, what his summer is looking like, what gives him hope each morning, and much more!
