Episode 10 - Molly Sampson: History consultant for the Netflix movie "Six Triple Eight"

Today, we celebrate the 10th episode of our show and the first of 2025. Last month, Netflix released its latest historical movie, “Six Triple Eight,” a war drama about the incredible story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—the only all-Black Women's Army Corps unit to serve in Europe during World War II. And to help us explore both the movie and the remarkable history behind it, we’re excited to have Molly Sampson, the historical consultant for Tyler Perry’s movie “Six Triple Eight,” as our guest today. Don’t forget that this show is available on YouTube, Spotify, Deezer, and Amazon. Be sure to like, subscribe, and engage with us — it really helps the project!
