We’re joined by guest host Linda Holmes as we highlight some of our favorite recent episodes. This week, we’re taking a look back at our interview with multi-talented performer Daveed Diggs. He’s an actor of stage and screen appearing in projects including Zootopia and Black-ish. In 2018, he co-wrote, produced and starred in Blindspotting alongside his lifelong friend Rafael Casal. He’s also the lead vocalist for hip hop group Clipping. His latest projects include the animated series Central Park and the television adaptation of Snowpiercer. We’ll talk to Diggs about his musical inspirations, the merits of “corniness” and how Lin Manuel Miranda changed his life. Plus, we’ll talk to him about Hamilton, of course! That’s on the next Bullseye!
