But I need Tracy to stop talking over the guests. It’s too much input when I’m trying to listen. Also bring back Strong Black Laughs with Janelle. We need both of em.

Okay y’all. Boomerang. No mention of the first Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence collaboration. John Witherspoon, Chris Rock, AND Hallie Berry. Come on y’all.

But I’d be disingenuous if I didn’t say even if I hated it, I’d still love it because BILL BELLAMY. Naturally.

Tracy is such disarmingly charming host, her interviews are always fun, honest, and real. Great producers too - they get the best guests

I love Tracy & everything she does.

I’m so glad that I found your voice again! I’ll be listening forever👍🏾

Give it a listen

I love the content of the show and the people that are interviewed. I’m just not crazy about the host. She kind of does too much for my taste so it gets kind of annoying, but I like that it is a positive podcast.

I typically watch the podcast via its YouTube Channel. I love the show! Tracey is a great host! Her energy is unmatched and she always asks great questions. The guests are truly what make the show such a dope concept. There are so many amazing influential black actors and actresses who don’t receive as much recognition as they deserve. I think it’s great that this show gives them their flowers and spreads the love that black culture knows they should have. I love it! I’m excited for the new season.💜😀

This show accomplishes what it sets out to - giving legends a chance to share and reflect honestly and humorously in their own words on their journey, lessons, and contributions along the way. Tracy Clayton is a refreshing interviewer and does amazing research and surprises her interviewees into answering in open and genuine ways. When John Weatherspoon was interviewed on the podcast just months before he passed away last year it was clear what an incredible gift this is - to give people flowers and the space to share honestly while we’re all still here.

Such amazing guests I really enjoy the back story to some things discussed. Host has good energy so I enjoy that, gets kind of corny at times tho but overall enjoyable show.

Tracy is such a gem and the subject matter of this podcast is so needed. It the highlight of every one of my weeks. Please never stop making it!!

So many faves and so many gems shared! I love this! Already a fan of Tracy Clayton’s work, and super excited to hear her interview and salute our icons each episode. Tracy is so dope and her style is so genuine that I know this has become one of my new faves. Yay!!

cool but don’t like a company being involved

These are my type of podcasts. I love learning more about my favs.

The interviews are great, Tracey is great, the idea is great! What more is there to say?! Please create a different feed for offshoots of the podcast! I was not a fan of the laugh one and had to unsubscribe and hope and pray I saw notifications for when Tracey would be back in my ears!!

Saving grace...are the guest comedians interviewed. The sound quality was bad.

No issue with second host but I love love love Tracy and miss her!

Love this podcast but where is Tracy??

I love this show! Great season one and two! But please don’t bring back the host from the first season. Thanks!

I love the individuals selected to come on the show, like I can tell it was done with care. Eagerly anticipating the future guests!

No no nooo... this new hosts laugh.. including how she laughs MORE than the people she interviews is annoying gut the listening ear. Interview style is stale and... stale. I loved Tracy Clayton, she was fun and funny. This new host is ... neither. I’m sorry for the negative critique, but this feedback is necessary — I haven’t heard a single full episode b/c I cut it off.

These gems and jewels that these black legends are dropping can be applied TO ANYONE and ANYTHING YA HEAR ME! Y’all better listen in

Love this show so much. Love Tracy, love the content, but the current season the sound is really faded and low.

The show and host are amazing!

From the first episode with Lynn Whitfield to the last episode Robert Townsend, I was wrapped in this series. As a young black woman who is a lover of our culture in every facet, especially film/cinema & music, these interviews with living legends made my week every week. The interviewer was excellent. The content was amazing. I CANT WAIT until the next season! I encourage any and everyone to tap into this series!

Love your rapport with these living legend.

This podcast is beautiful and so very necessary. Kudos to giving our legends their flowers (literally) while they are here. This is important work.

Loving the guests that are interviewed and their stories. Very inspiring and motivational to hear their stories.

Love this and happy to have Tracy’s voice back in the podcast space. Such deep knowledge of African-American popular culture.

I listen because I love the idea of the podcast and she has truly gotten some flowers. I just wish she would chill. A lot of the interviews just give me anxiety because it’s like a rando off the street bumped into Robert Townsend or Jason Weaver and they’re gushing about their childhood to a famous person who really just wants to get their takeout order and go tf home. I get that she’s black bubblegum and I’m here for a carefree black girl but the questions are weak and her responses are lame at times. It’s like the hosts brain shuts off and she’s just on autopilot from joy. Or maybe it’s more like that one kid in class who read a website that said “Here’s a list of six responses to show your professor your listening but also don’t actually add to the conversation”. Either way, with a better host this podcast could really be a game changer. Yeesh.

Great podcast my favorite episode were the interview with Jason Weaver and Robert Townsend. This feels like a really fun introduction to African American film class. I can’t wait to catch the next season. Tracy is insightful, super knowledgeable and a fun host.

After listening to Tracy on another podcast I was familiar with her voice and wit but I think she truly shines in this podcast. She makes you laugh, think, and truly feel like you are in the room when she is interviewing Black legends. Thank you Netflix for putting this podcast together but even more so, thank you Tracy for being a welcoming voice and a “friend in my head”.

I’ve never listened to anything on Podcast until I came across strong black lead. This is such an awesome platform and I love it.

Tracy is back! Thanks for bringing your bright energy, giggle, empathy, and clever self back into our lives—and celebrating with us/educating us one interview at a time. So happy to have found this new project!

I can’t tell how much this show mean to me love her an everything about her keep it up

So happy Tracy Clayton is back podcasting. She's one of the most gifted interviewers there is.

Great show. Love the interviews with black acting legends. I would like a little more in depth questions from the interviewer. All the questions seem off the cuff and centered around her experiences.

I would listen to Tracy read a phone book and still end up cackling, but we’re all lucky we have her on this podcast instead.

I enjoyed your season and hope you’re coming back soon. Thanks for giving us (black folks) an opportunity to learn more about our own! Great candied moments on our Stars!

This podcast brings the story behind actors I have seen growing up, but didn’t know about. Each episode is so funny and always has a great lesson to learn. Tracy is hilarious and a great host of the show.

Love this podcast ! All the guests definitely deserve their flowers while they are still here ! So much insight and wisdom packed into 45 minutes

Thank you Tracy and Netflix for bringing this podcast to the light!!!

LOVE this concept of this podcast!! The interviewer needs to find that balance of being entertaining, without talking over the guest and not truly listening to or processing their answers. That’s at least what I got out of the Jackée interview. There were a few answers she gave that could have produced really powerful follow up questions and answers. That’s just a little constructive criticism from someone who’s interviewed A LOT of people. It’s really just a small tweak, because other than that this podcast is SPOT ON. You’ve found a new subscriber!! Update: I read some of the other reviews and I think I figured out what was bugging me. The host makes too much of the interview about her. Now, don’t get me wrong, for a show like this to work there has to be some of that, but reign it in. Here’s an easy tip to figure out how to find the right balance Tracy: keep track of how many times you start a sentence with the word I during your interview. You’ll start to notice the pattern. It’s very fixable, and something a lot of people do until they get more comfortable with process of interviewing. You got this Tracy!!

Happy that these legends are getting their well deserved shine. So very happy to have Tracy back on the podcasting scene!

I loved Tracy on “Another Round.” Perhaps she works better w/a partner who can riff off of her humor. Some of her banter w/older guests doesn’t work because that’s not how they communicate. The Jason Weaver ep was the best because he spoke her language, controlled the interview & shared so much knowledge that a good interviewer should possess. How does Tracy not know who Suzanne de Passe is? How is she asking John Witherspoon about a desire to do more mainstream work when it’s all on Wikipedia. If you’re going to interview Strong Black Legends familiarize yourself with their bio. Also, her overly solicitous nature, and constant interruptions break the flow of the interviews. Please stop interjecting about how poor you are or how you want to be famous one day. It is not endearing. It’s not about you!

Love all the episodes Tracy is infectious! Keep doing y’all thang

Thank goodness they chose Tracey to host this fantastic show. Her voice, intelligence and perspective are refreshing in this interview format, and she is clearly in her element among her elders. Her respect and admiration for them is obvious in her thoughtful and funny questions, AND she listens, leaving time for guests to fully answer... unlike some podcasts. 😉 GIVE TRACEY HER FLOWERS TOO!

Your interviews and humor give me life. I’ve binge listened to the whole series. I look forward to hearing what you’re going to do next

I have binged every single episode the last two days, and I will listen to every new one. This show brings me joy 😊
