Episode 3-Crossing Shondaland

Sotong Sessions

The name Shonda Rhimes has become as ubiquitous as Spielburg. And Shondaland is more than her famed production company; it is the Thursday night destination of millions of viewers across America and even the world. It is where rich diversity serves as a given, where intellect is a priority, and where drama is never too far away. But this is more than just good tv. The shows ‘Scandal’ and ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ have each boasted the prowess of a leading African-American woman. Dive into the conversation with Delia and Jazz (aka ‘Shondaheads’) over a cup of coffee at Marley’s in the trendy neighborhood of Itaewon as they share their personal reflections from the crossover episodes of these two shows which tackle the delicate intricacies that arise when powerful black women collide as well as the very tumultuous issues of alcoholism and a biased judicial system. Shondaland has become the place where flawed social norms go toe to toe with our better angels in an alternative reality --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sotong-sessions/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sotong-sessions/support
