Episode 2 on the Moral Repair podcast is out!
What connects holograms and hip hop? Listen now on Spotify, Apple, wherever you get your shows.
A few weeks ago I introduced you to the PRX podcast I’m cohosting, Moral Repair: A Black Exploration of Tech.
On Moral Repair this week: Rev. Annanda Barclay and I talk to the Rev. Dr. Otis Moss, III and Elder Zuogwi Earl Reeves about holograms and hip hop.
“Story is one of the most important things in terms of the human endeavor. Story is how we live, it’s how we function. If you live out the right story, you literally can change your life and change the world. If you live out someone else’s story, you have a ceiling on what you can do. And that ceiling is based on someone else determining what your possibilities are.” —Rev. Otis Moss, III
It’s a beautiful episode—grab some good tea, settle in, and click Play:

Join my Substack app chat
I’ve just added a chat to On Tomorrow's Edge so subscribers have another way to connect with me and you all can connect with each other.
The chat is like a group thread, and you’ll find it in the Substack mobile app.
To join, you’ll need to download the Substack app—instructions below. FYI: Chats aren’t sent out over email so our conversations won’t ever clog up your inbox.
Substack wants me to let you know that you could approve push notifications if you wanted, but I say don’t do that. No one needs one more non-urgent thing pushed to their phone! Check in whenever you want. We’ll be here.
How to get into the chat
Download the Substack app on Android or iOS by clicking this link or the button below.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar; click on it, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Come by, say hi. (Check out Substack’s FAQ if you run into issues).
Talk soon,
