Why Watch That Radio

We have a special guest this week – Keith Arthur Bolden, professional actor and Assistant Professor of Drama at Spelman College! In honor of this very special guest co-host, in this episode, the Critic and the Referee decided to focus on movies and TV shows that are based on literature. From stage plays to Bible stories, their two-part conversation will help you extend your Easter celebration (if that's your thing) or simply choose a TV or movie adaptation that will work for you. Enjoy!
