Michael Harriot: The King of Breaking It Down

Adena and Kara talk to writer and self-proclaimed Wypipologist  Michael Harriot. The South Carolina native is well known for his wit, cultural commentary, and gift of mixing humor and historical context. In this episode, Michael breaks down the discipline of Wypipology, Black humor, and the story behind his coining of the phrase “invited to the cookout.” (Yes, he’s the one who came up with it.)

Michael is the host of the recently launched TheGrio Daily podcast, produced by theGrio Black Podcast Network. He has also authored a book, “Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America,” which is available for pre-order now.
