This week's episode of The
Chauncey DeVega Show features two great
guests.
The
first part of the show is very unique, and is perhaps a first in
the history of podcasting and other online media. Friend of the
show and website Bill the Lizard stops by and offers up a very
concerned and heartfelt intervention for his friend of many years
Chauncey DeVega. Apparently, Chauncey has been compromised,
grammatically possessed by an entity known as
"epononymously".
Over
the course of several years, Bill the Lizard has been documenting
Chauncey's possession and (now) emancipation. This is an amazing
conversation about confronting the evil within ourselves--a journey
made even more frightening by the fact that Chauncey did not know
that he was under the control of such a terrifying and nefarious
entity.
The
second part of this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega
Show features sociologist Jessie Daniels. Dr. Daniels is one of the
founders--along with Professor Joe Feagin--of the great and
essential website known as Racism
Review.
Jessie
and Chauncey chatted several months ago and their first
conversation was erased by a mischievous spirit. Jessie kindly
agreed to sit down to a second chat at the virtual salon. This was
great fun. In this conversation, Jessie and Chauncey talk about
popular culture, cyber racism, digital literacy and racism, police
murders, the language of "lynching", and Jessie Daniel's upcoming
memoir.
Chauncey
also informs Jessie about the joy that is the
movies Leprechaun and Troll
2.
In
this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show,
Chauncey also talks about his favorite cologne, using "mud butt" as
a catchall excuse for life's travails, his most recent interview
on Ring of Fire TV, and feeling like his timing was
off with several great essays full of rhetorical and political
dynamite that were misfires this week and last.
