Searching for Chuck
What if I explained to you, I know for a fact that Chuck Philips has information, evidence, tape recordings, and most likely a treasure trove of documents that would answer the questions on who killed Tupac Shakur, who killed Biggie Smalls, who at the LAPD had enough power to cover it up, and why?

Carlos King-I'm The King Of Reality TV
Carlos King is the King of Reality TV. He’s been huge in the space for over a decade and now he’s got a deal with OWN and he’s the EP of Love & Marriage Huntsville which is their #1 show. He’s on fire so I wanted to know the science behind reality shows and why we love them so much. He wrote the book on it so he can break it all down.
What We Are Loving
Jennifer Brown
After seven episodes (which is so very unacceptable), Apple TV’s “The Morning Show” has me fully engrossed! The writing and acting are finally at a place that has me in awe of their creative team’s ability to bring so much nuance to controversial topics like sexual assault and harassment and racial insensitivity and pay inequity in the workplace. A must watch!...if you can power through the first seven episodes. Sheesh!
Fun Fact
