They invite guests --like actor Chris Rivas, restorative justice leader Danielle Sered, and TikTok historian Sherman "Dilla" Thomas -- to join critical conversations that are at once personal, political and playful.In this preview, Khalil and Ben talk with author Saladin Ambar about his new book, Stars and Shadows: The Politics of Interracial Friendship from Jefferson to Obama. Through famous bonds ranging from Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe, to Barack Obama and Joe Biden, they explore the dynamics, benefits, and difficulties of cultivating interracial friendships.Hear more from Some of My Best Friends Are at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/sbfs2?sid=doses.
