We're back, with a new one for "After the Uprising" fans! After a summer off to release and promote season 2 of our NAACP Image Award nom'd iHeartPodcasts Black Lives Matter true crime, Ray talks with co-creator John Duffy about how the new season almost killed them. One of Ray's oldest friends, most frequent collaborators & Double Asterisk** partner, they laugh and banter while talking big topics, including the Ferguson 10th anniversary; five years spent investigating Black activist murders in St. Louis; the strange death of Danye Jones and their relationship with his mother Melissa McKinnies; maybe solving the murder of Darren Seals; working with new co-host (fmr Missouri state) Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal; the state of journalism and the podcast industry; Duffy's recent award-winning fiction book A Ballroom For Ghost Dancing; and his soon-to-be-released new book.
