The MG squad sits down and talks with Jordan Calhoun and discuss his many work, Jordan Calhoun is Editor in Chief at Lifehacker and host of the award-winning podcast, The Upgrade. His newsletter in The Atlantic, Humans Being, searches for lessons in the most popular movies, books, TV shows, and video games. Find him on Twitter @JordanMCalhoun.

Calhoun reminds us that entertainment has value in forming our identities, and that we have something to gain by looking back at our childhood entertainment and pop culture experiences. Part homage to the characters he identified with and loved, part celebration of the pop culture-television, movies, music, video games-that influenced his childhood, Piccolo Is Black: A Memoir of Race, Religion, and Pop Culture is an honest, thought-provoking, and often hilarious coming-of-age memoir that celebrates Black identity in America.
