Episode 204: Happy Freedom Day! (with Lauren Anderson)

The legendary Houston Ballet dancer Lauren Anderson joins us to talk about the Atlanta Episode "Juneteenth" (Season 1, Episode 9), a hilarious exploration of race, class, identity, and carrying around your sister's underwear. But first David and Tamler share some thoughts on the topic on everyone's mind right now…Bean Dad. Oh yeah and the Capitol riot. Pour yourself a Hennessy or some Emancipation Eggnog and enjoy.

Special Guest: Lauren Anderson.
