This week Alex and Donnell talk about weed and literature. We also speak with critically acclaimed author Gary Phillips about his new graphic novel BeBop Barbarians, how weed affected the music of late 20th-century South Central Los Angeles, Phillips' anthology The Obama Inheritance, and his new steps into Hollywood.
