Congrats to Paola Mardo for executive producing the official Black Panther podcast. The 1st episode, out now, is an intimate convo between director Ryan Coogler and host Ta-Nehisi Coates. They go deep into the passing of Chadwick Boseman and finding the truth in moving forward. It's quite a beautiful and emotional piece.

Give it a listen. It resonated a lot with me as both a filmmaker and a human being. I'm sure you'll dig it.
