 All right, let's say hi to our first guest. We don't like to play favorites around here, of course, but if we did, this guy would probably be on our list. It's not just us, though. He's a New York Times bestselling author. He's the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant and a finalist for the National Book Award. His latest book is There's Always This Year on Basketball and Ascension. Hanif Abdurraqib joined us on stage at the Patricia Valiant Research Center for the Creative Arts in Corvallis, Oregon. Take a listen to this.
