Winston Duke on Bullseye

14 January 2022: Started my day off listening to this episode of Bullseye, in which Jarrett Hill fills in for Jesse and interview Winston Duke. I found it so compelling and it stayed on my mind on and off all day. Two aspects (that are linked) make it really powerful: Duke's discussion of his feelings and insecurities about his body (as a big and tall Black man) and his description of therapy and the role it has played in his life. Hill's role as interviewer is important, too, as he relates to Duke on both counts. I learned a lot just by listening to these two men speak so openly and honestly about these complex and personal issues. A reminder of how we can all be so human and fragile.
