Next Episode: Geek Speak on Sports presented by the Moana Nui Podcast

The Moana Nui Podcast was invited to BlerDCon where we interviewed the talented Mr. Orlando Jones who is known for his amazing work as the African god Anansi aka Mr. Nancy in Starzʻs "American Gods," Dr. Lee in "Drumline," and so much more!

In this episode, Orlando shares his thoughts on the future of Afrofuturism, Black speculative fiction, and what it takes to get true, authentic diversity in storytelling. He talks about how his start as a writer drives his work and how he brings his A-game to every project he is a part of.

This is one of our favorite convention interviews and we hope you enjoy it as much as we loved sharing space with this multi-faceted rockstar!

Huge Mahalo and shoutout to Orlando for doing the voiceover for the intros on our YouTube Channel :)
