CS 471: Fat Ham pt 1

Today we have returning guests Mtume Gant and Josh Boerman on the show to talk about the play Fat Ham. Mtume Gant is Director/Actor/Writer and Asst Professor of Film at Purchase College. Josh Boerman is co-host of the podcast “Worst Of All Possible Worlds”. The Worst of All Possible Worlds (@TWOAPW) is a weekly podcast of case studies in the pop culture of a dying empire. Co-hosts Josh (@boshj) and Brian (@spocks_brian) grew up evangelical in Michigan and New Mexico, while A.J. (@thefuzzymask) grew up Catholic in California. Together, they deconstruct how narrative and artistic choices in popular media reflect or subvert the ongoing reactionary project in contemporary America and the world at large.
