STRONG RECEPTION Ep. 3: Devo, Stevie Wonder and Police Reform: My Conversation with Renowned Journalist Renée Graham

Listen to my interview with Renée Graham, an accomplished music and arts journalist, and now world-famous opinion columnist, who describes her journey from Jackson Heights to the Boston Globe.

Renee Graham is a renowned music and arts journalist who has been writing for the Boston Globe for thirty years. Her remarkable ability to speak on the cultural and social movements of the last fifty years has made her a highly sought-after documentary guest. (Check her out in CNN’s “The Seventies,” “The Eighties,” “The Movies” and much more.) Now her widely read opinion column tackles politics, racial justice, women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights and pretty much every issue of inequality facing America today. Join us as we discuss how her obsession with music started as a kid in Queens, her career-defining interview with Prince, what kinds of police reform might be needed in our cities, and her answer to my all-important question: What cover songs do you think are just as good, if not better, than the original?
