Amanda Seales dives into eye-opening revelations in Things I Learned This Week. Discover the surprising milestones for women, as Amanda uncovers activities that were still legally restricted until as recently as 2018. The segment also examines racism within unions and shares the fascinating friendship between Ella Fitzgerald and Marilyn Monroe, highlighting how the two icons broke social barriers together. These stories bring to light lesser-known histories that continue to impact our world today.

Keeping the theme of cultural discovery, we spotlight Story of Black Joy with a feature on Joel Bervell's inspiring animated series, which celebrates the vibrancy of the Black diaspora. Later, comedian Orlando Baxter joins Amanda for For the Record, where he reflects on the records that shaped his life, bringing a blend of humor, nostalgia, and musical insight to the conversation.
