Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Feeding the Community: Liz Abunaw on Forty Acres Fresh Market
Q: Liz, tell us about the origin story of Forty Acres Fresh Market and what sparked the idea.
Liz describes recognizing a lack of access to basic groceries in Chicago's West Side, which inspired her to start with pop-up markets and later expand to delivery and a permanent store, driven by consistent engagement with the community and a belief that neighborhoods deserve affordable, quality groceries.
Activism Powerhouse Marshan Camese
Q: Did you vote for Kamala Harris? Did you vote in 2024, and who did you vote for?
Yes, I voted for Kamala Harris and would not vote for someone who flirted with their own daughter; I chose her because of her qualifications and the direction I think the country should move.
Fighting the Crisis of Reading with Short Nonfiction
Q: Before we get to it, what is a memory hole, Kenneth C. Davis?
A memory hole is an Orwellian concept where those in power alter or erase past records to control present understanding and shape future beliefs; it's about how controlling memory shapes reality and thought.
Scrubbing Out: Kevin McKidd on His Epic Grey’s Anatomy Exit
Q: What was the experience of directing your own finale like?
It was empowering to craft and tell the story of his own character's exit, leveraging his background in film to create a memorable send-off.
Scrubbing Out: Kevin McKidd on His Epic Grey’s Anatomy Exit
Q: What made you say yes to joining Grey's Anatomy initially?
He was drawn by the material, the chance to work with Shonda Rhimes and Sandra Oh, and the opportunity to be part of a beloved, evolving ensemble.
