Another interview for you to step to! This episode I talk to Author & *Breathes In* the Associate Dean of Personnel and Curriculum and professor of history in the College of Liberal Arts at California State University Long Beach Dr. Donna J. Nicol to talk about her book "Black Woman On Board: Claudia Hampton, the California State University, and the Fight to Save Affirmative Action".

Another interview for you to step to! This is one of the most honest interviews I've had so far. Singer-songwriter Wolfgang Valbrun (real name) paints a portrait of himself that is riddled with grey, like the sun shining through thick clouds.
We get into his beginnings, living in Paris after wasting away in American suburbia; how he fell into singing, (which leads to his debut solo album coming on the 31st May) the many trials in between and of course his Top 5.
