I listen to your guys' podcasts. I think that you all do a really good job. And I'm sorry, you're not asking me for this. I know my cultural traditions. Black radio here in Washington, D.C. This is where my parents came from, both from HBCUs to Chocolate City is what it used to be called before. So gentrified.

And it was so much injustice going on here, but blacks and whites, how my dad got his job being the first black salesman hired by IBM and then crushed it for the company. That's how I got to New Jersey is he was promoted because he was the top 5% of global salesmen.

But I say this to tell you that people like you who were willing to entertain, inform, engage, they became the most valuable voices during some of the most tumultuous times.
