I've done a fair amount of radio interviews but yesterday I did my first ever stint as host. I was a bit nervous and tried my best not to speak too quickly (as I tend to) and I think it went all right. I was interviewing Elvis Mitchell and Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, on their amazing new film, "The Blacklist." It's an elegant and moving documentary and companion book of portraits and personal statements from 22 very prominent black folks from all walks of life.

It will air on KCRW and on NPR stations nationwide in mid August.
