Friend of the show Rasheed Newson is here! His new book There's Only One Sin in Hollywood is out now! The novel deconstructs the studio system's star-making machine and the complex, non-tortured lives of closeted figures. If you're a lover of the noir, erotic and mysterious then you'll have to check this one out ASAP!
We had an incredibly rich conversation on some of the dividing lines between black/white artists in Hollywood and how the industry standards bend based on who the stars are in their racial identity.
