Beginnings episode 75: Live with Frank Conniff, Baratunde Thurston and Jean Grae

Dec 13, 2012

Holy heck. This may be one of our favorite episodes ever. Mystery Science Theater 3000's Frank Conniff, author of the NYT bestseller How to Be Black Baratunde Thurston and hip-hop superstar Jean Grae joined us on a funseasonably warm December night at UCB East for a completely amazing live show where we talked about being forced into creative activities by our parents, berating people during phone sex and a Minneapolis Arby's that's afraid of a homeless man.
