Sometimes you encounter a person whose brain is such an effective X-ray for the world that you can’t help but spend 90 minutes working through a backlog of all the topics you’ve ever wanted to ask her about.

Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom is one of America’s foremost sociologists, a 2020 MacArthur Genius, a New York Times columnist, and author of Thick: And Other Essays.  I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.
