213: LeVar Burton | Storytelling the Enemies of Education Off

LeVar Burton (@levarburton) is an award-winning actor famous for iconic roles from Kunta Kinte in Roots to Geordi La Forge on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the host of long-running PBS series Reading Rainbow and the LeVar Burton Reads podcast.

What We Discuss with LeVar Burton:

How LeVar went from pursuing a vocation in the priesthood to acting in a miniseries that changed the national dialogue about slavery forever.

How LeVar avoided melting down in spite of international attention from an early age and what he's done to stay relevant over 40 years in show business.
