"Making a podcast isn’t the obvious next move for me, but it’s the right one. The Midnight Miracle gives you a look into how me and my friends process the world around us, and I think it will change the way listeners think of what a podcast can be,”
- Dave Chappelle
@MidnightMiracle, a salon-style show created and hosted by @talibkweli @yasiinbey and @davechappelle
In the variety show tradition, the conversations are punctuated with sketches, impersonations, archival audio clips, and a powerful soundtrack that includes music from Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, D’Angelo, Heatwave featuring Johnny Wilder, and much more to come.

Pink Anderson + Floyd Council = Pink Floyd
When the band Tea Set was about to take the stage one night in the mid 60s they
noticed that the band that had just played before them was also called the
Tea Set.
So a young #SydBarrett saw the names of these two Piedmont Bluesmen
on some liner note of an album and said,
"Tonight we are "The Pink Floyd Sound"
Special thanks to @theveldt_music for highlighting this.

Honoring Eugene Bullard (October 9,1894 – Octob

Honoring Eugene Bullard (October 9,1894 – October 13,1961) The First Black Fighter Pilot
In August 1914, Germany declared war on France. Bullard enlisted in the French Foreign Legion in October 1914, nearly three years before American troops entered combat.
Recovering from his wounds, Bullard volunteered for aviation service and completed his flight training in May 1917.
Bullard flew more than 20 combat missions in the French Air Force
When Germany invaded France in 1940, Bullard again enlisted as an infantryman, serving with the French 51st Infantry Regiment, and was again wounded in action in defending Orléans on June 15, 1940. He managed to return to the United States the following month after escaping the German-occupied northern part of France.
In 1959, he was made a Chevalier (Knight) of the Légion d’honneur by General Charles de Gaulle, who called Bullard a “véritable héros français” (“true French hero”).
Despite his fame overseas, Bullard faded into obscurity in his home country. In 1961, shortly before his death, Bullard, a decorated veteran of two world wars, was working as an elevator operator in New York City.
He died October 12, 1961 at the age of 66.

Communication is the binding factor of our very existence, but we often fall short when learning new ways to express ourselves and understand each other. I hope people care about communication, and not just in the ways that are most comfortable for them.
YOU CARE was written in hopes of helping others better understand how you want to be treated.
We all deserve to be felt, desired, and seen. - @shaunross
