The Sellout: Black Lives Matter, leaving religion and when to speed-read with Aurelia St Clair

<p>This week I sit down with comedian Aurelia St Claire to discuss The Sellout by Paul Beatty. Our conversation ranges over Black Lives Matter, growing up a Jehovah's Witness and love in the times of Corona. This was recorded on location in a share house so if you hear a sound in the background at one point and think “hey that sounds like a share house roommate warming up pho” you’d be correct.
