9. Guest Mike Sargent on Breaking New Ground In Entertainment

Jeff and Alan are joined this week by producer, director, and entertainment pioneer Mike Sargent. We talk about the challenges of breaking new ground without role models, and the artist’s journey. Also discussed is how Mike grappled with show business as a person of color in the 1980s and ‘90s, and how to find – and be – a good mentor. And we dig into the latest extension of the Halo franchise! 

Our guest, Mike Sargent, is a film critic/maker,  award winning Radio/TV/Podcast host-producer and pioneering Afrofuturist. If you can't find him in media, you're really not looking. To get started check out his Niteshift broadcast, his Brown & Black podcast that explores the convergence of race and pop culture, and the Black Film Critics Circle website.
